There's already something like that, called "Debris Vortex" for the Orkulus, and "Improved Salvaging" I think, for Vasari capital ships. They repair hull and give back resources, respectively.

To add to that, will Sins/Entrenchment/Diplomacy continue to be used via what used to be Impulse, or will they be switched over to Stardock's new basic platform?

I don't really like pirates at all... they're annoying/unpredictable/slight roadblock, in addition to being AI controlled (obviously)... Their aesthetics are great but their gameplay-value is minimal IMO.

Being rude to the devs is probably not going to speed up the fix... they're aware of it already.

Reply to Growing the ICO community for Rebellion in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="11" id="3022345"]The ico community is like a ballon, feed it with new players and it will blow up. I think the answer is not to make the ico community grow but to make an astounding game through rebellion and promote and advertise that through all pc game channels and social media. People will come and feed it regardless of the smurf kickers and mean old hosts. Hosts are not the issue here at all as much as i hate there practices b

Reply to Why an Halcyon Carrier is a better opener for its race in Strategy Sins Forums

Is it boring? Yes, but it's often times the best strategy to use if you're trying to win. Exception: the Evacuator colony cap can be an extremely strong opener, even in very cramped 5v5 games.

Reply to Why an Halcyon Carrier is a better opener for its race in Strategy Sins Forums

Well, it is a carrier cap, of course its superior firepower will allow it to shine above the other available caps :)

If it's any consolation, they all have counters... which is the reason I often let my opponent do whatever they're planning (spam, rush, whatever) so that I can then attempt to counter them, rather than just spam more LRF of my own and hope it works.

Is is just me or does Control-E now work again (by default) for selecting the search box? For some reason that shortcut was discontinued in favor of Panorama something quite a few months ago and I had to either switch to using Control-K or use a custom addon to change the shortcut back to control-E.

[quote who="N3rull" reply="15" id="3021810"]Turrets are useless in any situation other than MAYBE dropping a dozen of them around a starbase if you're TEC or Advent. There's also a trick that allows you to colonize super fast with Vasari, by colonizing a planet and quickly ordering a turret and a repair bay built on the other end of the gravwell. That way you can send your Egg to another planet while the turret handles the handful of rebels still alive.[/quote] Turrets are an

Well, there appear to be a very large number of Sins players who have no idea that ICO even exists. Since player counts online are low I'm figuring that I'll do what I can to increase awareness and lower the learning curve if possible, to lure more people online.
