You "capitalize" on the efficiency gained just... how? You don't have enough time to re-earn the investment until the next Titan stage is due. And stalling the Titan research / construction mid-way into the whole affair isn't an optio

Reply to 1,008 Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion Highest Number Today in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Sins never had any great appeal to me for multiplayer beyond a lan environment with some friends, but even so doing it now with Rebellion appeals even less than usual. As a beta, with numerous issues and incomplete (or missing) races, I'd rather play Trinity then get into a Rebellion match in it's current state.

Reply to The 4 titan techs to unlock build percentages seem pointless in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I more or less agree. Having it this way has some merit when playing with research speeds on the slowest setting, as then the argument that it benefits planning ahead for exactly when you need it makes some sense, as time requirements for research is actually a significant factor. But for normal settings, the only merit of having it this way is that slight bit of room for players to capitalize on efficiency by not queuing things up in advance. That's not really a bad thing, but as

Reply to Should humanity build an FTL Drive? in Life, the Universe and Everything Sins Forums

[quote who="Uvah" reply="90" id="3122067"]I didn't say black holes are the holly grail of FTL. I merely stated that the physics involved breaks down inside the event horizon. The point I'm trying to make is that the amount of energy needed to achieve the beginnings of an FTL drive is slowly being realized. I direct your attention to this article. It isn't there yet but at least its a start. http://news.yahoo.com/atom-smasher-collides-particles-record-energies-204204938.

Simple solution here, don't enable research victory when playing against AIs you know you can't out-research. No sense trying to argue balance when discussing AI's specifically designed not to be balanced.

Reply to [AI] Akkan AI Issue / Armistice in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="2" id="3124942"]Can't you just go around them? Obviously they were attacking you, so just leave a starbase there and pretend like they don't exist. If they keep doing that then they won't be hurting anything and you'll keep the AI from using 3 of its capital ships. More likely, once you retreat your fleet, they'll stop using it, because ultimates are only used when the AI has an inferior fleet (AKA losing). The starbase will then finish them of

[AI] Akkan AI Issue / Armistice in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

So as plenty of people are aware, Armistice can be kind of annoying, dragging out combat in a system much longer than it would otherwise be. As I've recently noticed in a match against an AI, 3 Akkans are capable of doing it indefinitely, and as incredibly frustrating as that is, that's a balance discussion for somewhere else, the "bug" I'm referring to here is simply how the AI chooses to deal with that particular situation. And that would be by doing nothing. I w

Reply to The TEC Rebels are unplayable in online multiplayer! in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

This just sounds like the Insurgency tech kicking in, not really any reason your ally should be immune to that, especially if it was some of the AI players that had researched it. Although I would agree that if an allied player was the one with Insurgency, it should not affect you (which may or may not be the case now, I have no idea)

Reply to 5th hour on beta in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I'd have to agree, having now finished a full game as both AI factions, they feel about the same, and also about the same as they were before. Sure, a few small things stand out, but far too much of what is changed is, while possibly significant for those super attentive to balance and from a number crunchers point of view, I find to be too passive to change the feel of either faction, especially the Loyalists. Basically, my opinion is that too much of what is unique to either fac

Reply to Rebellion convert data out now since update? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I'm not sure what's so hard to believe about it being an accident. Sure, it might not be, but a mixup of that sort wouldn't really have to be anything more than uploading one folder rather than another, likely with similar names and the only notable differences being version numbers, and when you consider that the .75 build exists it's pretty reasonable to assume that that's what that devs have been working with recently. Not all that surprising that someone would

Reply to Been Charged for Rebellion already in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I'm a little confused as to why you would think nothing would be charged until release. If there was no payment until release, then what sense is there in taking pre-orders at all? Isn't the entire point to have people pay for the product in advance? Honestly, the only thing I was ever surprised about was that they even wait for the beta release, rather than bill immediately upon order.
