Fleet Integrity in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hi, folks. Playing Single player as Advent. So I have 3 maxed out fleets almost equal power. Each fleet is really 2 fleets: Frontline melee and long range. I realize it's time to attack an enemy fleet before they slip away. My 3 fleets converge at the enemy planet and well, my fleets win. After the battle I notice my fleets are all screwey, with one fleet having all 15 Iconius Guardiana, antother having 30 Illuminators only (previously it

How about a "chance to damage" surrounding ships on an individual basis (not sure if it's possible)? Assuming an explosion does not uniformly spread damage evenly: Say 10 frigates and 5 cruisers surround an exploding Cap ship; give the frigates a 50% chance of some damage and the cruisers a 25% chance - to simulate their respective "toughness".

Feature: when you click on a Rally Point, it would list which colonies are sending ships to it. Clicking on the colony name would bring you to that colony in the galaxy window where you could do normal Rally Point stuff.

Reply to Want lots more income from trade routes in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]Is trade more lucrative in larger sized galaxies?

[quote]Well that would be a totally different game, isn't Sins full 3D like Homeworld? Full 3D battles in space are too difficult and confusing to deal with, it's not like Total War where you're 3D on a 2D surface. Humans don't think very well in 3D, especially when presented with 3D info on a 2D monitor, and also moving the camera around becomes an issue. Sins isn't turn based AFAIK either, bleh. That's effectively a totally different genre, and requires a very different set of developer skills

[quote]I liked the old one better too. I know others have said it before, but it would be wonderful to be able to control a ground battle for the invasion. GC3 maybe?[/quote] I rather see ToA combined with Sins of a Solar Empire-type battles for GC3.

14+ hours to download DLII? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I've got a very fast connection. (t-3, downloads a song in 2 seconds) Went to download DLII, which I bought years ago. Went to bed and more than 14 hours later it's still downloading....really? Is there any way to speed this up? Thanks.
