ARESIV

Hello and welcome to the community. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I am afraid that you just used an incorrect approach against the starbase. The best way to deal with a starbase as a TEC player is to build Orgrov torpedo cruisers... or even better mass carriers with bomber wings. Those have the added advantage of being godlike against most things (enemy titans, capitalships... ect) what faction was your enemy and where your TEC Loyalist or TEC Reb

If that cloud works as good as the one of SimCity..... [e digicons];P[/e] It will make any screaming about ICQ look like golden history. The only Windows 8 may depend on the sucess of Windows 8.... which I have some serious doubts about.

Sim City 2013 is available freely available on the internet... has been since release day if you believe the date of some entries. Even more devastating... it is a working version.... if you beleive the comments on said entries. It was a working version! If you have an account with the game already registered to it, it worked great![/quote]

[quote who="the_Monk" reply="132" id="3331073"]Every PC game is heavily pirated. Hell.....my wife and I lost friends when I overheard the sons of friends of ours laughing at how nice it was that Sins of a Solar Empire (the original) was so easily pirated and I took the sons to task over their comments. As a result, our relationship with that family is no more.[/quote] Yes, every PC game is pirated. Thats a matter of fact. It is also a matter of fa

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="30" id="3328922"] Quoting Seleuceia, reply 29I think some (not all) of the gripe here is that being always connected isn't possible... Not everyone can buy the luxury car. [/quote] I am sorry but that is a pretty dumb argument.... PC games hardly compare to luxury cars. Besides, the case here is that the industry is more and more upgrading the once cheap and affordable Ford into

With the exception of very small maps where the enemy is only 2 jumps away you sooner or later will need need at least a few civic labs anyway so building one right on your capital does not hurt. Always research the terran planet population upgrade (if your capital is a terran). It is cheap and will easily pay itself off within mere minutes. You dont have to delay colonisation because of it. Just use LF instead of corvettes for your first expansio

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="25" id="3328696"] So basically we have to "Deal with it", because the illiterate, and, dumb ass masses refuse to do any research into what they are buying into. The marketers use a "Jedi Mind Trick" saying "you really want this!", and the dumb asses say "Duh! Maybe i do!".. Great. :/[/quote] The non knowing average guy is exactly the problem.

You are just mad because you are not competent TEC Loyalist players[/quote] They economy only could be better by building 2 economic starbases in every gravity well instead of one.By the time you can afford to have 2 starbases per gravity well without severly harming your fleet the game will be probably over.

The original idea for Rebellion was: Choose TEC Play the game resarch TEC Loyalists or TEC Rebel when the time is right. Only then faction specific techs are unlocked. Internal beta testing however showed one major flaw in that initial design idea. People were dragging out the choice for very long.... making it basically an improved Dilplomacy. Only once the game was already dec

As next generation consoles being quite similar to the PC and Valve doing a Linux PC gaming console, I would not worry about the platform. If something kills the PC game market it is poor quality software and idiotic intrusive DRM.

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="642" id="3327640"] TEC Loyalists have planet-based defense cannons. That's probably why.[/quote] Correct. It isnt particulary powerful though.

If you are defending it is actually very easy to find out if you have been wailed. All your ships just dissapeared? Check your own structures on the planet.... while more than durable enough to withstand any Wail they will also be considerable damaged.... as enemys rarely fire on structures until your fleet is gone (Notice however that when they are close uninteded stay shots hit the structures, so check on a structure far away from the enemy) you

I have been quite busy recently so I had not really time for a lengthy answer to some posts here: [quote]People complain about phase missiles, which I agree are powerful and allow you to more effectively pick off capital ships, but that's the kind of thing I signed up for when I selected this faction. I feel that it hurts a lot more when I lose Vasari ships than when I've played with other factions, and I feel it when I play against the other fa
