I've been playing Sins Entrenchment for two days and didn't know any of that information. I've tried to find information in the change-logs but as Towarf says, it's all just too hard. The sooner a manual or guide comes out the better.
The planets that orbit our sun tend to have exponentially larger orbits. Lets take for example Earth, Mars and Jupiter. Earth is 1AU from the sun. Mars is 1.5AU and Jupiter is 5.2AU. Earth is always closer to Mars no matter what orbit scenario you create. For example, if Earth was on the opposite side of the sun from Mars but on the closest orbit to Jupiter, Mars would still be 1.7AU closer to Earth than Jupiter ((5.2 - 1) - (1 + 1.5)). The point is, it is probably better to model these
[quote] ...It was the entire basis of my race selection, opening cap ship selection, research into hangers, my selection of fighters instead of bombers, etc. [/quote] Fighters are only good against bombers, while bombers are good against all other ships. If you had stocked bombers instead of fighters I think the results would have been different. Bombers seem to target planet attack ships before others.
Thanks for the replies. So the ships work on 'paper-scissors-rock' principle? I hadn't really noticed other than flak vs bombers and siege vs planets. Can you please give an example of what sort of fleet you would send against say a fleet of light frigates at a planet armed with defensive cannon (or any other example that would illustrate the principle)? @ Daishzen: I'm sorry but I didn't understand what you meant by the damage/fleet and health/fleet ratios and the impact t
I have only had the game for a couple of days and one aspect that is frustrating me is the roll of the different ship classes. I have experimented with mixtures of different ships in fleets but currently I now only build direct combat capital ships to send in to battles. They last a long time and can usually be withdrawn to be repaired while all the cruisers and frigates are destroyed. When I built special ships such as the robot cruiser to repair the fleet, these ships are destroyed f
