[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="61" id="3178577"] Quoting Elrosh, reply 58Advent rebel Protection of the Unity works anywhere, not just in culture. And you are on crack, its an AMAZING tech when you combine it with culture bonuses and the shield techs. I know what I'm talking about. The game files Zombie quoted say clearly its only in culture (and I've asked a Dev too). And the default passive regeneration rate of even the Crusader is only 2 shields per second.

[quote who="Dorakiura" reply="13" id="3178431"]Thanks for the input I'll add that to my list. PS: About how much fleet supply would someone have when the titans first start appearing?[/quote] I guess that all depends on how early you want your Titan. Whenever I get the enemy Titan warning, I make sure I've got at least 6 Drone Hosts filled with bombers ready to respond, but that's for a level 1 Titan.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="39" id="3178139"] Quoting Pat_22_, reply 36Also, I must be missing something: Advent have pulse lasers? I thought pulse weapons was a Vasari thing? I think he means the new point defense lasers.[/quote] Aren't those just regular lasers, but designed to only fire at strike craft? Because it is the Advent equivalent of other titan's flak guns. I wouldn't be too excited about a buff to those.</

[quote who="JuleTron" reply="33" id="3178124"] For the Advent Rebels, Mass Communion should not just decrease the cost of culture buildings, it should also make all of a player's culture buildings generate a small amount of income, giving the Advent a much needed economic boost. Shield Restore for the Temple of Renewal should be a passive ability and or be moved to the repair station. The Advent Rebels are mostly fine. However, they have 1 less technology compared to any other

[quote who="michaelwalters" reply="2" id="3177813"]GoaFan77: Thanks for your useful info. I get annoyed when the game introduces conditions of play in the late game that cannot be anticipated, as you might try to do in a 'strategy' game. According to the Trinity manual I am unlikely to survive with the Kostura Cannon in play? I also noticed it has disabled planetary shield production on the target planet. Is there any counter to this enormous threat, apart from trying to take out the

[quote who="greyseer" reply="2" id="3177622"] Quoting Pat_22_, reply 1The amount of culture a planet generates is divided by the number of phase lanes that planet has. The planet generating 87 culture probably only had one or two phase lanes, correct? While your capital most likely had 3-4. Unfortunately I don't think so, in the last hour I just taken a pirate base that was completely cut off from my culture influence and had to build a starbas

Star base phase jump charge rate could be permanently 700% slower?

The best you can do is hope for this in Sins 2, where us people with super godlike gaming rigs can play gigantic maps of hundreds of star systems.

[quote quoting="post"] I think the assault nanites are kind of useless. Their role is covered by combat nanites. The assault nanites should be replaced with flak nanites or some kind of utility nanites that slow down ships or reduce weapon recharge. [/quote] Isn't one of them anti-ship and the other anti-structure?

[quote who="Jm2010" reply="32" id="3177155"]Pat_22 I am not. I just played a game with another person and we both were able to warp in fortresses. Due to the little glitch he warped in 5 of them while i did only 3.[/quote] The loyalists eat planets and spawn phase nodes. The rebels get mobile star bases. If you're doing both at once, you may want to report a major bug to the devs.

[quote quoting="post"] I play a lot of Vasari Loyalists and I can tell you from my experience and watching others that they are thee most over powered race in the game. They may cost more but, the fact you can warp in 20 starbases is a bit over the wall "OP"... [/quote] You seem to once again be confusing the Vasari Rebels and Vasari Loyalists.

[quote who="Jm2010" reply="27" id="3177126"]If no one has noticed... Vasari Loyalists yes can warp in a starbase but can send in more than one. The titan itself can create a gate to have them travel by and with almost a dozen fortresses in one gravity well, well you know what happens. Not to mention if you make most your troops all strike craft base then the enemy can just ignore them and go straight for your planet and consume it after a couple seconds of bombing...[/quote] </p

[quote who="M11xStryker" reply="15" id="3177075"]Wail of the sacrificed... The good: It is devastating to approaching enemy fleets, and can easily turn the battle in your favor.It's a late game tech though, so it's somewhat balanced. Plus you have to rebuild all that planet infrastructure after using it. The bad: It's still a bit too good...Long story short, wail of the sacrificed allows your temples of communion to sacrifice a planets populati

[quote who="waffletastic" reply="5" id="3177070"] No, that would be silly. idk about silly, I think it would be cool to have mobile ship building facilities so you don't have to build anything on a planet- you could just strip them all for resources. But that probably would be a little OP [/quote][quote who="Pbhead" reply="6" id="3177073"]just use the dam phase gate. you can go compeletely mobile with them.[/quote] &nbs

[quote who="waffletastic" reply="2" id="3177060"]so there are no ships that construct other ships?[/quote] No, that would be silly.

[quote who="Teun-A-Roonius" reply="10" id="3176950"]Another problem is the Advent Rebel titan, - I'm not even mentioning its Unyielding Will ability - of which Chastic Burst is extremely overpowered. I mean seriously, I was attacking a level 5 Eradica with 60 LRM frigates, backed by numerous Hoshiko's and a bunch of flak to counter some drone hosts, and that thing literally tore the whole fleet to shreds just with that ability. I was sure 280 worth of fleet supply should have done the

[quote who="JJBuck2" reply="8" id="3176553"]Has anyone else noticed that when an Eradica activates Unyielding Will, it cant use the ability again? I was playing a game yesterday where I killed an enemy Eradica, which used Unyielding Will. Then it was rebuilt and attacked my friend. He killed it and instead of Unyielding Will activating, the titan promptly blew up. Is this supposed to happen or is it a bug? I took a look at the ability buff files and the ability files themselves and I didn&#39

[quote who="phoenixst8r" reply="2" id="3176487"]Unyielding Will is the name of the ability and it has one major flaw. You as the attacker have control over when the titan dies, hence when this ability will activate, using your bombers you can get your fleet to a safe distance, once the titan activates this ability all you have to do is keep away from it until the ability ends at which time the titan will die, if you get out of the way its ability is useless [/quote] &nb

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="9" id="3175941"] Quoting wbino, reply 6Maybe 5% of Sins players play online...why balance the game around them? They have to play the official game. Single players can get mods.[/quote] Besides, how will a well-balanced game be detrimental to singleplayer?

[quote who="AlixX979" reply="1" id="3175841"]The titan keeps its level even if its killed. I find it super retarded as well but a lot of people on the forums will speak otherwise... I dont what the devs are smoking but it ought to be damn good because the balance in this game is the worst i have ever seen in an RTS game... I mean a Titan can solo almost everything, why build smaller units? It just feeds it levels..[/quote] A war has multiple fronts, and Titans can only

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="3" id="3175681"]It is by design that Cruel, and Vicious AI is a cheating AI, but this is a first in the four year existence of the game for a "Normal" AI to cheat. Post up some proof.[/quote] Hell, Unfair cheat too. I look at the charts at the end of the game and the AIs get a MASSIVE resource boost out of absolutely nowhere ( in the resources available section ) right about the time I start bombing their first planet.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="15" id="3175359"] Quoting ARESIV, reply 14Stupid question: Wenn there is a phase stabilizer node on the planet that the wail orginates from, does it travel to that too? Now, that would be really mean... you shoot with Kostura to get access to that system and then he wails you in return...klling your invasion fleet on its starting point... Does that work? We should test that, lol It shouldn't, and if it does it

It's an extremely devastating weapon. Just today I used it four times to great effect in two different games. The first was with my friend, a 2v3v3 against AI teams on a 3-star map. As we cleared our starting star system, I asked my friend to have control of the only planet directly connected to the sun so I could Wail any incoming armadas from the other systems if need be. Later in the game, when the AI were in ruins and it got to the point where it was just a big mop up

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="32" id="3169786"]Pat, I still disagree with you. First off, I really doubt that the VL would ever be an issue in the game as they'll probably escape and keep on running.* As for the AL and TR, They're going to keep going at it for some time as they don't want peace; they want domination. I really doubt that the alliance would attempt to wipe the others out. They'd really like to welcome the others in if at all possible,
