Reply to Diplomacy is the last micro expansion. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm not surprised at the exemption of the third expansion pack since Entrenchment had problems balancing both SP and MP respectably. What works in the easy going SP game doesn't work well in the harsh and difficult world of MP.

Reply to The Advent is for Girls in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Raging Amish" reply="2" id="2353937"]Well, if we want to bring "personal outside opinions" into the mix, I've always had problems with the TEC ships. So many of them are boxy (Akkan, Dunov, carrier, kodiak, for examples). Boxy ships would never EVER be made in space. The force of the vacuum on a boxy structure creates stress concentraiton points. So really, the drone host has a cylindrical/spherical belly, which actually is a logical shape for in space. Advent caps also

Reply to Question about trade route strategies! in Strategy Sins Forums

You need to place trade ports in every grav well from point A to point B in order to get the phase lane bonuses. Be careful in your trade route planning as the trade ships will take the shortest route and skip a few trade port stops if theya re in a loop.

Reply to Scouts in Strategy Sins Forums

I do use scout rush early-mid game but mix them up with some LFs for some extra firepower. This did work a few times against Kanrak and LRF rushes at critical planets due to being able to clear out the rebels quickly and detaching some scouts to detect and respond rapidly to incoming enemies.

Reply to Battle Strategy for Newbies in Strategy Sins Forums

This advice column is full of really bad tips to practice in hopes of getting tier 5 status. Tip 1, you didn't scout so the gauss cannons killed the fleet. Tip 2, you didn't scout so the group blundered into a missile barrage because of a phase inhibitor. Tip 3, you didn't scout so that 201 ship fleet destroyed your 200 ship fleet. Tip 4, your single

Reply to [Suggestion] Unlearning Starbase Upgrades in Strategy Sins Forums

Guess nobody ever thought about the big red button on the Argonov. If you had a fullly upgraded military and in danger of losing the base, downgrade a couple of weapons bays and blow up the enemy fleet as they arrive. I should have said a late game powerful TEC empire in my earlier post as frig factories and trade ports are easily destroyed by a squad of LRF ships and/or bombers but the Argonov with a decent fleet and support structures will be hard to take out.

Reply to [Suggestion] Unlearning Starbase Upgrades in Strategy Sins Forums

This downgrading idea will give the TEC a huge advantage over the Vasari and Advent. It will give rise to a stale tactic called "Argonov creep" where a powerful TEC player manages to contruct and fully upgrade the starbase in an enemy gravwell. After victory, the TEC player can downgrade the base and then utilize the tradeports and ship contruction upgrades in order to pump more ships out and pummel the enemy. This will make tradeports and frig factories useless for

Reply to Supreme Commander 2(Gameplay Vid!) in PC Gaming Sins Forums

There's a lot of odd redesigns but hopefully they changed it to better accomodate the terrian. That's one of my cheif complaints of Supreme Commander, artillery parked on a hill doesn't shoot a bit farther or units don't slow down going up the hill so terrain doesn't factor much into the stragety.

I lost all my planets in a MP game but still had a fleet so I went raiding commerce and fed all the bounty on our ecowhore who was a newbie who spent all his cash on starbases to protect HIS planets instead of supporting his teammates. Was fun watching him curse me for being stupid feeding him with his 49 cred/sec economy.

Reply to Starcraft2, Diablo3, Supcom2 in Everything Else Sins Forums

I wouldn't say "dumbing down" but Subcom 2 as I read in a preview will focus more on managing your fighting units and less on economy. The economy model in the expansion for Supcom is difficult to manage and can put off new players since a misplaced building during the early stages of battle can cost you the game. Instead of the big battles in Subcom vanilla, Forged Alliance battles are reduced to superweapon rushing and Tech 3 air unit battles.
