[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="6" id="2501119"]Do you not have this problem (I thought everyone did)? Do heavy cruisers work for you to fix the problem?[/quote] No, I do not have this problem. The only way to prevent this problem is to keep attacking whenever possible to wreck your opponent's economy and ship count. If you manage to let your opponent to spam illums/LRM/Assailents before you can react, you lost already, game over.

Reply to TEC envoy's "Worthy Cause" ability is amazing in Beta 3! in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

There seems to be a bug in the calculation when this ability is used. If you get five envoy cruiser together and pulsing "Good Will' at different intervals, you may get up to 45 credits/sec instead of 25. I do not think this ability should work with Vasari colonies as the humans are slaves? However, I think the only way to balance this is to give planets some set of cooldown timer as it will be made passable if the cruiser has to go out and collect donations

On Battleships, no change needed. This game does not need dreadnaughts that would screw over any player that does not have them at the beginning.

Reply to Dual Halcyon in Strategy Sins Forums

Seriosly, with the same budget from the making of a second cap, you could park a entire squad of Cobalts/LRF/Garda behind the Halycons and hurt them badly along with your Sova/Kol/Akkan since the Halycons can not fire their main weapons from their rear. Any damage from bombers to your cap will be healed with a Repair bay.

Reply to Dual Halcyon in Strategy Sins Forums

Make sure those Halycons do not have Ampifly Energy or your Sovas/Akkan will get crushed.

Half your fleet could be destroyed before you could even get the maximum effect out of nano dissaemblers. In 18 seconds, I could fire a shot of GRG in three of your assailants or cruisers and destroy them easily with counters. That could be several shots in battle unfired that you could have used earlier.

Reply to Kol and other battleships in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Swordsalmon" reply="5" id="2493686"]Now the Kol, I've stated multiple times that it's utterly atrocious. I honestly think it's by far, the worst capital ship in the game. It's mediocre offensively, uses too much antimatter, and has little purpose now that the Sova Carrier can ably handle SC threats. Everything about this ship needs to be improved. I propose that for GRG, give it either a severe AM reduction (From 75 to possibly 55 or 35), or make the ability nulify shield migitati

I disagree that GRG should be boosted. The couple of Kols at level 3 or above will become bad news as the GRG at level 2 can smash support cruisers and repair bays, forcing a withdrawal.

Reply to Dunov in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

FO: Sir! the OMGUSUK have lost shield and is taking heavy damage! *Frzzzzt* Direct hit on rear quaters by a single fighter. C: Activate shield restore on us, the WESUK shall not fall! First off, the Dunov is not horrible for a first cap as the Dunov can go out and get experience from swatting down rebels. This will boost the shield restore ability which can make the Kol/Dunov a deadly pair in the early stages of the game. Second, using shield restore

Reply to F***ing Sova in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Until you come up with the replay of that game, Kharma, I am going to disregard any "test" you made and just proclaim that you made a newbie mistake where scrambled bombers from both Skintara's was actually useful as the Sova's fighters were busy.

Reply to F***ing Sova in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Repair cloud can not fix damages from 6 cobalts, three missile batteries and a Sova to boot. 60 laser damage + 51 missile damage + 17.5 laser damage > 43 damage point from 2 Skintara. That's three times the firepower bearing down on those Skintaras.

Reply to F***ing Sova in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The Skintara has really poor weapons which barely makes a dent in any capships so going with two Skintaras without proper support is suicide, even against a rival Skintara. What you should have done was make your second capship a Devestator or Evacuator and keep the fighters and Skintara nearby to take care of the enemy bombers as the Sova gets pounded into scrap.

[quote who="wbino" reply="34" id="2471654"] I guess it's because I play locked teams, but why would you want to spend resources to befriend someone when your eventually going to have to kill him? Why spend time and money to improve you and your ally, for at the same cost you can use it to attack? It's more fun to spend the money on blowing things to space dust.
