Hey, guys. Just wanted to let you know I have uploaded an updated bundle of the converted maps, for those who are interested. https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/sins_maps/402/
Thank you, Harpo!
[quote who="harpo99999" reply="156" id="3443560"] interesting, I also have the 404 error, BUT the file is STILL in my public dropbox area, and here is a link to the latest of the rebel compatable map updaters (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8023186/sins%20modding%20utilities/rebelmapupdater3.exe), that I just got from the dropbox site page, so hopefully it will work for all (just tested with another browser and it (the links above) work, looks like dropbox went and changed things f
[quote quoting="post"] nit pick 1: Sending more then 250 units of resource at a time. Reason: in the longer games when you start to accumulate vasts amounts of resources and you may want to send your ally say 50,000 to 100,000 credits or so to help him restore his fleet. it takes a good 5 - 10 minutes of furiously clicking away to send it at 250 units at a time. Suggestion: include a input field in the menu or threw a pop up wind
[quote who="mcintire" reply="2" id="3124365"]The Rebel and Loyalist player info is in the game, go into the relations menu (the one where you see the pictures of all players in one page), highlight any of the other players, it's noted right under their name.[/quote] Right, got it now. Thanks!
Some other remarks: From the change log: "Added Loyalist / Rebel text to player InfoCards in the Relationship window". I don't see that. Cloud save dates incorrect When trying to load cloud save files, error: "You don't have the files needed" Advent Loyalist Corvette: wrong description of ability in build menu
I too want to support the idea that the Advent need more defining. I must say I was disappointed to see that a lot of the new techs are not very noticeable in terms of impact on the game and in terms of distinguishing one faction from another. My expectations were higher after having seen what happened to the TEC. I strongly feel that this can be achieved by emphasizing traditional Advent strengths- other than just culture. (The way things are now.) In Diplomacy, the Advent were also
Advent Research categories named wrongly (For example, Civilian instead of Harmony) No capital letters in save games Mass Communion research comes late Please give all clones a visual effect that makes them distinguishable from regular ships for allies, especially in the empire tree. I have only played two games and so it might have been coincidence, but the AI appeared to be passive and very easy to defeat. Not very impressed with the
[quote who="Halos" reply="6" id="3107604"]Excellent, however I'm not to happy truce amongst rogues has been changed. I seriously doubt it's usefulness in mid to lategame. (except in games with pirates of course).[/quote] Agreed. Neutral planet defenders will be dead by then. Also, Pirates are a bigger threat in early game than in mid/late game.
[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="14" id="3105853"]Yesterday i ran with my sole Ankylon at lvl6 into 8 enemy capships and it was going to fail hard. I was not keeping attention on what exactly is happening the whole time, but when i zoomed in, the Ankylon had half of the hull gone. So perhaps it is not as overpowered. [/quote] Could it have had something to do with a specific ability? Like "abilities disabled" on Akylon? Or is it possible that the regenerative ability was cool
[quote quoting="post"] Hi all, I was wondering if it wouldf be possible to put a on/off titan option? Since they are pretty much game changing and a must if you want to compete... I feel thye overshadow the new researchs a bit, so mich we don;t really do anythign beyond pumping it out... So please pretty please!!! On/Off titan. [/quote] Agreed. More options can never be a bad thing. There is more to Rebellion th
[quote who="Cooljedidude" reply="6" id="3105671"] (...) or at least use a believable military voice. [/quote] I totally agree. In my opinion, the Kol Battleship's voice should be a standard for other voices. It sounds credible, and like a capable commander.
[quote who="kylone" reply="12" id="3105764"]You could make the argument that the Loyalist's Titan IS their early-mid game advantage[/quote] Indeed. Although there are many examples on these forums of it being overpowered. My personal experience: (moderate) fleet (including 5 cap ships and also Hoshiko's, Kodiaks, ...) + lvl3 rebel titan + neutral defenders VS a sole lvl7 loyalist titan shouldn't have ended in favor of the loyalist titan. The way things are
[quote who="Cooljedidude" reply="4" id="3105716"]I like that line too, but as a whole, the TEC voices are sub-par, I think. I have a hard time believing a lot of them are captains of warships.[/quote] Agreed! The new music is nice, but the new TEC voices are not very credible. Or nice to listen to. (My opnion of course.)
[quote quoting="post"] I know this is a beta and things have yet to be added, but i killed my first titan today and well it wasn't very spectacular. you would think a ship of that size would leave more derbies then it did. hopefully in the final release they will add more maybe even have a massive hulking hull laying broken in space rather then tiny bits every where. [/quote] Agreed. Hardly noticed the explosion in a larger battle.
[quote who="brain_Teaser" reply="9" id="3104364"]Sounds like you all are playing rebels wrong then. My rebel strausing to use the Truce tech. By going for it immediately and building one or 2 colony ships you can conquer many wells with no additional resources. You can then use the saved resources on upping your economy thus raising your resource input well beyond the loyalits. After that you just build the Titan and can do so easily w
Agreed! Truce Among Rogues is excellent in the early game, but closes a lot of options.
Agreed. I was surprised this is not the case. In Trinity, when I teamed up with a buddy, we always made sure we played a different race, so we could double the pacts between us, compared to an alliance of the same races. This should be (at least partially) the case for factions of the same race.
[quote who="InvalidSN" reply="3" id="3097768"]You and I have very similar ways of noticing things! [/quote] I just saw your feedback post, InvalidSN. We do indeed! A certain proverb comes to mind :)
Same here. Also took a screenshot of it, but got a runtime error after that. Bad ponies!
Thanks for the clarifications, guys. I played another round today, and have some additional feedback: RESEARCH: - Didn't see any stat changes or buffs from Savage Thrill (was bombing enemy planet) - The research "Battlefield promotions" does not apply to the Titan? (Not included in description) - TEC Loyalists have too few benefits in the early game. Suggestion: make "Hardened Defences" (or other loyalist research) available
RESEARCH: - The description for the "Pillaged War Chest ability" is very unclear and should be modified. - "Truce amongst rogues" apparently stops the Pirates from attacking you. I had no idea. (When a new raid was immanent, I found myself wondering why my opponent was wanted while I had more bounty on my head!) Description should be modified. - I was able to build a new capital ship with 0 capital ship crews available. The research for an additional crew was underway,
I know this is a detail, but I'd like my ships to not automatically attack and blow up enemy envoys. Leaving an envoy alive in your gravity well allows you to benefit from its abilities. You can still choose whether or not to ignore your enemy's diplomatic efforts, and personally, I don't care about the planet vision you grant them. I can imagine some people would, so I propose a behaviour setting, just like you can set the engagement rate.
