Reply to "Here come the suns de-de-de-de!" in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

eh? A dyson sphere would not fit into the current gravity well. Not the habitable kind, no. But don't forget the idea originated as a way to utilize all the suns energy... place the satellites in a little (lot) closer and it could still work.

Reply to Who wants more single point static defenses? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

People are totally forgeting that you have hangars. Hangars = fighters. Means you dont need flak cannons or any other fancy weapons. Fighters and Bombers can go anywhere in the system meaning its an effective defence against sieges or quick moving frigates that try to bypass the guass cannons. Problem is having enough fighters to match the enemy's swarm. Its a balancing act, and a hard one. Without enough bombers, you don't have anything to engage the

Let me just add one salient point to this people... space is big. Really big. Ships are going to be hard to detect simply because they are so small relative to it. That said, if they're emitting they are going to be much easier to detect...

Eet, since since the curve would be a diminishing returns curve that approaches but never reaches, you would have exactly that same effect... whatever the results for 25 are, would be the maximum for the curve. I don't see where the extra effort would come in since either way you'd have to play with the rate at which you approach the maximum...

Reply to Hotkeys list & ship selection? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I don't think there's a finalized list of hotkeys or buttons, ATM, as I believe they're still changing them. As to your other comment, all I know of is the ability to assign ships to fleets, but I agree it would be highly useful. Both to find the ships outside of assigned fleets (above and beyond any assigned systemic pickets in system), and possibly use the same system to allow you to pick specific ships inside a fleet (for example, if I wanted to detach a couple of light friga

Reply to Fleets and some other comments. in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

It would be nice to give orders to them to follow your capital ships or certain ships and not go flying around like you said. Yeah, I think I mis-understood the original post a little since flak frigates are the only case I can really think of where I want that.

Reply to set auto patrol on idled ships in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Um, a few things... ATM, there is no purpose to a patrol order, as you see anything in a grav well where you have any kind of presence whatsoever. Now, about your fighters just sitting idle after killing a ship, that is strange. Generally, they return either to their ship, or wherever the last point you told them to be at before they auto-acquired.

Supreme Commander managed to do the whole "super weapon" thing perfectly.

When you have a large (30+) mixed fleet with with capital ships and frigates it descends into micromanagement haze.

I need to micro a few things -- like making sure the siege frigates don't jump in until after</i

Dunov and Akkan battlecruisers don't fill this role already? Between shield restore and the later achieved Armistice on the Akkan, I can't imagine an unbreakable stalemate. Simply move your almighty army of doom in and armistice when you get in trouble. You can avoid static defenses entirely, and move massive fleets into a single planet while the enemy defenders are neutralized. Kill the colony, key structures, key units, whatever.

I have yet to have any kind of hard crash in the game where you have to reset your computer. Good grief, I should hope not!

Reply to First impressions "book" in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Just a few things.... First off, the terminology is slightly different than your used to. Cruisers aren't so much bigger and badder than frigates, as they're meant to be support units (according to the devs). Which, obviously, isn't true ATM, if only because the Kodiak is the most powerful (non-capship) unit in the game. As you noted, the balance between Capitol and support vessels also needs addressing, and the devs know this. However, I strongly disagree that a capitol only appr

You guys should probably try playing Supreme Commander a little In Supreme Commander you essentially had three "types" of end-game super-weapons to break ties. First off was the nuke launcher, which fired nukes (that had a horrible build time and cost) which could be shot down if you had an anti-nuke close enough to its target. Second was the T4 "super robot" which could wipe out a
