[quote who="Sinkillr" reply="103" id="3482857"] I agree, the karma trolls in this forum are very annoying. Usually they just play dumb forum games to boost their karma and enhance their e-peen. They somehow think that makes them look important. [/quote] I very firmly feel that GoaFan77 belongs in the category of "very knowledgeable people". He's helped me before and a simple check of his posting history tells me that the overwhelming

[quote who="Sinkillr" reply="101" id="3482847"] Another Seleuceia head pops up. [/quote] I hate to say this, but in any forum, there are usually a handful of people who know what they are talking about and who have a very deep level of knowledge as a result of their passion and time they have spent. I'm humble enough to recognize that I am not one of those people. You can usually tell who they are by the content of their posts, by th

@GoaFan Fascinating. I now have a good idea of whose posts I should take seriously and whose to disregard.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="2" id="3482596"] More valueable planets will give you a lot more. But yeah, blame the multiplayer pros who abused the heck out of Stripped to the Core and rushed it to get uber fleets. [/quote] Yeah I can see how this would lead to problems in MP. It'd be easy strip planets, rush a super fleet, and win.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="757" id="3482803"] > I have not been able to get the ability PackTactics to work. I think it is a prerequisite problem with the unit. Might be able to work around it by making your own version of pack-tactics. [/quote] You cannot because it's part of the warrior tree. Anything inside the tree of any of the 5 paths cannot be used.

[quote who="Primal_Savage" reply="752" id="3482618"] Give it to trained units and they will get perks on level up! [/quote] That makes some sense. I suppose there's no way to prevent this from happening is there?

[quote who="furyofthestars" reply="37" id="3480854"] While I agree SupCom 2 was a miserable game, I just need to point out that THQ actually refused to publish another installment of the game and as such GPG had to turn to Square Enix for publishing, going so far as to sell the IP for the game to them. It was SE that ended up determining the direction the game went.... [/quote] It seems like it's not the only strategy game that they have mes

Elaborate on why.

[quote who="Sinkillr" reply="1" id="3482727"] "Chastic burst is strong against heavy cruisers" Lol wut. [/quote] I was referring to the fleet on fleet battles. Let's say you have - Titan, a few capital ships, fleet of frigates - Enemy has: Titan, capital ships, fleet of frigates You meet in some system. Chastic burst won't kill them in one blow, but it will

I find that Heavy Cruisers don't have much of a place in most fleets. Although they can be somewhat useful as tanks, they generally don't seem to last very long against certain strategies or abilities like Chastic Burst. It's not so much that they are weak in absolute terms as much as it is that their cost makes them hard to justify. Should they be given some sort of a buff?

So basically this game is more balanced than it ever has been?

[quote who="soase-maelstrom" reply="1615" id="3480867"] I use the windows firewall and for virus I use avg (free version). The RAM testing with the 4GB patch (LAA) was extensive and was related to the discussion https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/454494/page/1/#3470508 I had all my graphics effects settings at highest and my system was stable to around 2GB ... I ran it till it c

Could it be a fire wall issue? I mean we have very similar systems: - Asus P8P67 Evo - 2600K @ 4.5 GHz - AMD r9 290 4gb - 8 gb of G.Skill Ripjaws Z RAM - Corsair Performance Pro SSD - Corsair HX1000 (overkill right now, but I was planning on Crossfiring at some point) - Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1 I am running Comodo Internet Security, but I shut it off for the patch. Not sure what e

Yes. Windows 7 Pro x 64. It's not a hardware issue or a Windows issue. As indicated, I've got 8Gb of RAM and 4Gb of GPU VRAM. I tried using Steam to verify the game integrity from 1.8.2 and then re-applying the patch. No effect.

Yeah that makes some sense. The model type is defined by the equipment itself, and there's no model type def. Club_ArtDef &

I don't think the other races make a difference though. For example: KingdomFemale versus say IroneerMale - Voice is determined in a separate file SoundPack_Generic_Male - Actual model is this:

I seem to be getting lots of minidumps in R8, which is not something I have been getting in R7. I'm not sure what is causing it. I have attempted to reduce my RAM consumption and turn down various settings, but it seems to be happening still. Playing on smaller map sizes does not appear to be reducing RAM consumption by much. My system specs are high enough that it probably is not my system: 2600K, overclocked to 4.5 GHz (tested with L

So then this game is mostly ok? Back when I was active: Advent vs TEC, generally balanced TEC vs Vasari; TEC early game advantage, Vasari late game advantage Advent vs Vasari: With phase missiles, Vasari was at a major advantage What is it like now?

I've been out of the loop for quite some time. Question, how is the late game Advent doing vs late game Vasari right now?

[quote who="sareth01" reply="30" id="3476806"] Good review, nailed the issues I had with the game at release. I'll venture a guess and say that Creative Assembly was told to start "preparing" their game for eventual console release. All these game companies trying to go "mainstream" when they didn't make "mainstream" games yet still had large, avid fan bases and I used to think these companies were smart. Just because you can design strategy we

Also, we still have no way of knowing without dev confirmation if this is a bug or working as intended.

[quote who="mogthew" reply="394" id="3431159"] I think I'm late in replying to this but anyway. You evidently don't know anything about programming, I do, and I've done AI programming before. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it can't be done, don't be so arrogant. The AI can be made competent with time and it is not a valid reason for it not to be included. If you'd like a more in depth discus

I'm not sure whether forcing them to trade is consistent with lore so to speak. They seem to be a more independent type of race. Their ultimate goal after all is for the Yor to rule and all organic life to be eradicated.

[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="90" id="3421217"] I'm not contradicting myself at all, I'm saying they might take the waste-of-development-resources route and make autoresolve battles end as well or better than controlled battles. It's "optional" in that you can control the battles, but "not optional" in that it's a waste of time to do so.[/quote] The evidence so far suggests that limited tactical combat has already been added. Regardless,

I have been looking for a way to get the forums to display more posts per page, but I do not think that there's an option to do this? It's totally different than the other forums (ex: vBulletin) in this regard.
