[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="24" id="3383449"]It's not "clean" but basically the only reason I'd want mass communion at tier 1 is for the cost of a tier 1 tech...not sure advent should be getting culture at tier 1...[/quote] Indeed, caution should be advised.

[quote who="Skrimyt" reply="12" id="3383531"] In regards to the Phase Missiles, I would agree with the idea that Phase Missiles are the problem at all, just that the bombers that presently deploy them are. There are no problems with the Phase Missiles on capital ships, starbases, turrets and Assailants. Just those on bombers. While all bombers are capable of alpha-striking capital ships, Vasari nee
Generally speaking you can often get significant more value for money with AMD/ATI compared to Intel/Nvidia. I recommend to read test reviews done by PC magazines before buying anything.... especially in the higher price range.
Sins of a Solar Empire code base dates back to arround 2006. The game engine was designed with 32 Bit Single CPU core Windows XP in mind. And while there have been significant improvements in certain areas, you still will reach the point where the single CPU core used by Sins of a Solar Empire cannot handle all the stuff going on anymore and so the game becomes slower. You c
[quote who="Sinkillr" reply="3" id="3383385"]Your posts on this forum suggest that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how defenses in successful RTS games are supposed to work... they are only meant to delay an opponent and supplement a defensive fleet, not win the game outright...[/quote] Although to be fair.... many RTS game overdue this... making defenses entirely worthless.
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="16" id="3383197"]Don't buff disruption matrix....if you want to buff the Ankylon, give it more raw firepower and let furious defenses grant splash damage (like finest hour and desperation)....[/quote] GoaFans E4X mod allows the beams of the Ankylon to fire in much wider arcs (without breaking graphics). That does notable help the Ankylon and would mean a average increase in effective firepower without changing total damage output. <

[quote who="GeomanNL" reply="27" id="3383384"] I've taken a look at shield mitigation during my last game. I noticed that a single battleship firing at an enemy ship already makes the mitigation jump up to about 60%. I've done a small test where I sent 2 fighter squadrons against an enemy ship and after 1 pass, the shield mitigation jumped to about 60%. So basically... the mitigation doesn't really address the effectiveness of bomber-spam
[quote quoting="post"] Hi, as an fellow sci-fi fan and veteran eve player i got an interest in this game quickly on when finding it was on sale so i brought the game and saw the trailer which was very well made and i was looking forward to the story of the game and find out there isnt any campaign or anything related but that was ok i found the game was fun in gameplay but over some time period that becomes dull so the only thing that is left is to play online with other players but as

[quote who="JuleTron" reply="10" id="3382920"]Give Advent a culture independent phase missile block technology [/quote] This is the best option IMO and could make phase missile nerfs unnecessary. I propose that Protection of the Unity should grant 8/16/24% phase missile block for AR.

TEC Loyalists Ability: Disruption Matrix - Change over time damage per level from 40/50/60/70 to a flat 70/70/70/70. The increase in damage is handled by the finish condition.[/quote] Partially agree. With always doing the same amount of damage, there is not much reason to get a higher level for it. The ability interupt works always, but the duration of the ability disable is way to short to just
