This contract clause would prevent the swiss banker from ending up being the only one encouraging attacks on the galaxy's super power, which would not be good for his business, or his health. It would be much more likely for an annoyed super power to take steps to eliminate the swiss banker, since the swiss banker was carrying out the deceased empire's terrorism. By continuing like this the swiss banker is migrating from businessman to a t

Reply to Rethink research in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Perhaps having a "research failed" would be a good compromise. Say as we climb up a tech tree the odds of promising tec not paying off increases. Research hits a dead-end, so you try again. This would add a bit of a difficulty level to planning as "it will take me 5 min to get my fleet to the other side and when they get there they will have the new weapon systems to kick some butt" that now becomes. "I hope" IMO the ships should not auto upgrade weapons, they should be made to return t

Or here are a few. Weak enemy: Command! We are engaging clay pidgins for unscheduled sporting event! Equal enemy: Command we are under attack, please send backup with Band-Aids and cold packs! Superior enemy: Command we are under attack are leaving brown trail behind as we flee so as to slow enemy.. Please save us! All kidding aside would it be possible to have custom alerts inserted? I am not sure how difficult that is to incorporate now and days.

MONTEBELLO, Quebec - Canada's prime minister is expected to assert his nation's claim to the fabled Northwest Passage through the warming, resource-rich Arctic at talks with President Bush that start Monday. Canada claimed the passage in 1973 but competition to control the Arctic has intensified with global warming. Shrinking polar ice has raised the possibility of new shipping lanes and development of what one U.S. study suggested could be as much as 25 percent of the world's undiscove

The Russian claim is that the area that they are claiming is an extension of the continental shelf. Under U.N. treaty if their claim is recognized they have the ownership right s to the oil reserves in that area. They started making this claim back in I think it was the 70's when the United Nations treaty allowed countries, such as the USA to claim that the territorial waters of the country extended out to the continental shelf, not just 3 miles out. This effetely make the reach of U.S.

Reply to Distance through loyalty killing the "Empire" in Sins, and how to fix it in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I think the economic loyalty boost is a bad idea. Just because they pay a lotta taxes dosen't mean that they are more loyal. They're just either highly populated (which would give you the complete opposite affect) or they're just... generous. The jobs thing dosen't seem too important to make people happy, either. I love the solar system bonus. That is a good idea (danielost kind of muttered it). OR you could invest some money into a planet (kind of l

Reply to My feedback (surrenders) in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

My reply to your offer of surrender! NUTS! IMO a better way to do it is if the loyalty is below 30% for the occupier and your culture level is not less then 25% of their loyalty level (your culture level would be >7.5%) then you are greeted as a liberator and they "revolt" from the former owner to you. Otherwise they fight to the death.

let ships travel where they may... give us back regional capitals that have a modest effect. (they give a boost in relation to their distance from the capital) lets say they have the effect of redusing the effect of jump distance by 2 or 3 jumps.

Reply to Research - forcing diversification in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

in multiplayer allow players to share technoligies, teams can collaborate on researching and sharing or even selling techs. also trading and selling of planets as well & ships, so one could consintrate on using tech slots for reasearch while another devotes itself to being aboe to build lots and lots of ships very fast and sell then or give them to team mates or to others... like the old lend lease program between the USA and Britian in 38-42

this was one of my 9 ideas posted here link 6.Self destruct or kamikaze run: sacrificing yourself as you know you are going to die anyway, when all is lost, overload those anti matter pods and take out everyone within range with you, or at least inflict tremendous damage upon them on your way out. (Require a charge up time for this) make it possible for the enemy to notice and begin to fee, you might then run yourself into the belly of the beast by charging toward them as you bui

Reply to Cloaking Device addon in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

How about we do it like this, the same way our Air Force does it, you reduce the area that can be effectively seen, special materials and such. So a cloaked ship would have to be a special ship and the technology would not be available for larger ships. Or, it could use antimatter as the energy source, when a ship runs out of antimatter it cannot cloak! The amount of antimatter used would be tied into the size of the ship being cloaked.

Reply to Planetary Defense Rethink in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I agree with placing most of the weapon systems on the planet itself. Leaving long range reloadable missile platforms to be placed at jump points to create a choke point or creating a ship that is a missile launching platform. By giving them a set range (like ½ the well or less) you would move them toward the target, with the platform moving slowly but the missiles moving fast when fired. A reload time could be set at say 60 sec, these platforms would be major targets for bombers and fighters to

1.Battle platforms: a battle platform is a type of cruiser or capital ship than you can move to the sun and once there be converted into a permanent stationary platform for defensive purposes. 2.One jump exploration probes: these probes could replace the need to send scout frigates into unexplored areas, they would be launched from the scout and their range is only one jump. When they reach their target they self destruct after a set amount of time (say 10 sec). Scouts would cost less t
