Sounds like a problem with your LAN. Maybe its infrastructure is too large for your two computers to find each other through a simple LAN game? Other than trying to connect more locally (like from the same room or something), you could try logging on to Ironclad Online and then creating a game there that your friend can join.
I don't think so, not really. The closest you could probably get would be to have one durable unit move around the patrol route you want, and to then give the "patrolling" units you have an order to "move" to the primary unit. Those following may move around the gravity well and attack enemy units around, but will immediately follow the leading unit when it starts to warp out. Another problem is that the leading unit may well be targeted first by whatever enemy ships are around and will d
[quote]I LOVE playing as the Vasari on account of their evil-ness[/quote] Ahhh.... the Vasari aren't evil , per se, they're just trying to survive, as a race. Same could be said for the TEC, really, except we as humans are more empathetic with them since they look more like us. The Advent are the real aggressors in Sins, but they aren't really evil , just fervent believers.
Sounds a bit too Starcraft-esque for me, I kind of like the idea of the unknown enemy never being revealed. And diplomacy between the races doesn't seem very Sins-like either.

Ogrovs outrange static starbases, unless the starbase has a supporting Akkan + Targeting Uplink. Just hold alt to see a visual display of unit ranges.

In games against the AI? (I assume that's the context because that's what the OP was talking about) Yes, that's a strategy that works if you don't mind long games. [quote] but there would be income loss correct[/quote] A bit. At that point in the game you should be getting oodles of income from many sources and it shouldn't be that significant, especially compared to the cost and fragility of an AI's Novalith. All this said, the non-insane diffi

[quote quoting="post"]Im playing a game against a tec hard ai as the advent and seem to be stuck in a stalemate situation every fleet i send to attack one of their planets gets annihilated despite having more ships .Their star bases are pretty much invincible i send about 10 anti structure ships and they get destroyed long before they can take down a starbase.What tips do you suggest to break this stalemate ?[/quote] I looked at the savegame file.

[quote who="Whisker_Fish" reply="5" id="3055613"]I just reread through a post that someone rezzed that was essentially people talking trash about the Kol in the early game. And from what all I've looked up through the forums and the wiki (very limited experience with the game and it was only in singleplayer, just getting the game for multiplayer this month with my new xmas computer) I completely understand why everyone says it's a terrible early-game cap compared to the Akkan (for slo

[quote who="N3rull" reply="15" id="3055567"]Haven't heard of that happening - ever. There is some legal barrier stopping that from happening, I am afraid.[/quote] Well that's extremely unfortunate. I would think that crowdsourcing software would be quite effective (for the software itself) even if it isn't profitable...
Two Kols with GRG level 2+ can take out many caps before they can retreat, unless they stay out of range completely. Very handy if the enemy isn't going bomber-heavy. I was amazed at how effective Sire was at it.
[quote who="JCD-Bionicman" reply="4" id="3055400"]I suppose modders should have been charged with creating Rebellion as well hmm?[/quote] That's kind of the problem, the devs want to be able to make it themselves so that they'll get paid for it. :) However, hundreds of hours of time and effort has been put into mods and into various fixes and things by the modders - making me wonder (from our perspective) exactly what sort of (creative and bug fixing) advantages the de

After youve memorized these words, chisile them into a rock. After youve chisiled them into a rock, place the rock in either your strongest hand, or perhaps both, and proceed to hit yourself in the skull with it. With luck, perhap

An easier way: Devs, give the modders access to whatever the Empire Tree runs on, and the modders will surely find their own solution to the many problems with the Empire Tree.
