Reply to RTS Battle Mechanics and Ships in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

A lot of people seem to be pushing for capital ships with very limited roles, rather than the Army-of-One Capital Ships that Sins has right now. Another permutation of this is limiting fighters to carriers. I think both of those are mistakes and somewhat against not only Sins current design but against its models too, since all the capital ships so far have fighter bays. Regarding subsystems... The best reason for this is to discourage concentrated fire, which tends to rule hp-based g

Inhibitor immunity only applies to the scout frigate.

the kols beams are limited to front arc. the pic rather looks like the kol passed the frigate after firing at it.

Right now ive modded Raze Planet so it has 25000 range and does more damage. I also set it up so levels 0-2 fire 4-6 shots respectively. I like it much better, but the ship AI wants to fly off into netherland when i use it.. lol. Even with my high damage values it doesnt seem to damage planets all that much. It might be bugged. In the past ive modded it so that ships generally had more CPs and fighter/bomber squads were twice as big. That didnt work out in the long run though.

Ramping cost for defenses could help with this a lot. I think what defenses really need though is a HP reduction. In fact, all planetary modules should be easier to kill. Tough modules discourages raiding. Even the toughest defenses are beatable... 20 hangar defenses is a lot, but so is 20 Flak Frigates. In one game the enemy built 27 (!) hangar defenses at their home planet. And this was when i had modded the game so fighter/bomber squadrons were twice as big and were buil

I'm pretty sure they represent damage-over-time. Like though the marza has a missile damage rating of 22 at level 1, the missiles hit pretty damn hard.

Reply to Question about pre-order for Sins of a Solar Empire in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

If I understand you right, your question is "Will I have to pay for the retail version on top of the pre order?" If thats so, then no. You can pre order, be charged for it, and never play the beta if you want, but I would just hold off on preordering it until it comes out in that case.

How would you build a station at the sun? You would need a special builder ship or something.

Woops, I didn't see that "Multiple research centers are needed" bit in the patch notes. Disregard my complaint about research centers. On a related note, maybe research centers to one per system, to increase defensive requirements for high tech.

The latest: -You get a 'Reinforcements have joined the battle' text even if the battle is over when the ships arrive. -One of the weapons-target locations on the Pirate Pillager doesnt seem to be touching the hull. This is pretty apparent when the Kol's beams are firing. -The firepower increase for leveling up seems rather extreme... ;X -Gravity wells can occlude the sun glare effect. (I think.

Reply to Issues with scale and ship control in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

the greatest issue i have is the inability for the player to follow his ship's movement by having a camera that allows him/her to lock onto the selected ship/group of ships and follow them in battle. Use the camera lock (M, icon on top of screen). At least, I think it still works in this version. game would be imbalanced and quite silly if you couldnt win through sheer force of numbers, but there are abilities which counter nu
