[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="5" id="3312065"] quoting postIs it because game is bad??? I do not think so. As difficult as it may be to accept, we might have to face the fact that the game just doesn't have much staying power for 99% or 99.5% of the people who purchase it. It may not be an ICO issue. It's possible that the game is great, but that there aren't enough gamers out there with the interest or mental acuity needed to like it

Reply to How counter vasary starbase rush 1st 5-15 min of game in Strategy Sins Forums

I still think that the Orky rush needs a nerf. The lone colony ship is halfway bearable but when supported by an - even weaker - fleet and you can say goodbye to that planet. Same for sneaking it in. If you dont have your full fleet 1 jump away, it will finish building and after that you are death. With 2 upgrades the Orky can kill everything you can field at this stage of the game. Ogrows certainly would help, but they are rarely viable at this s

Reply to All capitalships appears on the intro, but revelation... in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

The discord can have devastating AoE damage.... the problem with it is that: Those abilities eat a lot of antimatter..... so unless you have maxed out AM research you wont use Fracture and Psionic scream for very long. The moment Titans enter the fray the Advent have more powerful things at their disposal. And it helping your fleet to deal with the enemy Titan, you probably want to have Fracture and Lethargy on your Discord instead of Psioni

Since we are at it.... the Radiance has little going for it besides the - not overly impressive - antimatter drain. I think it was rarely build because of that in Diplomacy. Detonate Antimatter: With Titans being far less dangerous without abilities, this is a must have. Although you might consider using two Radiances because a lone one needs some time to drain enemy ships. Animosity: Only reasonable use I can see for this ability is to buy

Ankylon 360 "One of the criticisms of the titan upgrades was that it was hard to use the Ankylon's draining beams upgrade, as the beams only fire forward yet the ship prefers to broadside. So I decided to fix this by letting the Ankylon's beams fire in all direc

[quote who="barebalo" reply="62" id="3311017"]4. Honestly the Eradica (AR Titan), needs a nerf, and the Coronata (AL Titan), needs a buff, the Ankylon (TL Titan) needs to have some of its skills adjusted so that its more useful and not just a dead wait with its skills are on CD. The other three titans I like and think they are well put together, and Titans need to lose levels when they die not just some xp not a level all of them, they go back to zero like everything else that dies.

[quote who="psychoak" reply="7" id="3310901"]Most of the grief is earned. Perhaps misdirected, but earned. They hype the shit out of a game, getting favorable reviews from people that make a living off being in their good graces, release their product with no way of checking it out before buying it, make returning it as big a hassle as they can, and then expect people to be nice to them when things go wrong.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="50" id="3310291"]Quoting ARESIV, reply 49 As for the late game strong economic side of the TEC Loyalists, it is not existant. Because their late game is not strong, in fact it is the weakest of all late games. They cannot win wars of attrition... not against TEC Rebel and Advent and most certainly not against Vasari.
