Reply to Shield Mitigation ... what I think it does... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

hmm, i should have started reading this sooner, it's very interesting. I recall there beind shield arcs, so this should probably apply to each arc individually. And I agree on there being some kind of limited cumulative effect, Say a weapon with damage 100 shoots at a shielded ship, lets say for calculation ease that all hit occur within generally the same timeframe. First hit, and the shield arc gains 100 damage, and 20% mitigation Second hit, within a small time, shi

Opera does the exact same thing without annoying third-party stuff. I'm sure some FF plugin does the same. Getting it over EAlink works to. The walls did seem so very usefull. but somehow "it slows down the pace of the game" so they're not buildable. them blocking fire from low units, but not big ones. Same as in FS I think.

Reply to Credits in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

damn kids, get offa my lawn! at any rate, the youngling here seems to be right. Barter does make more sense in a system where a small number of sides are at semi-war. Can't really see one side saying "No well give you this ammount of fictitious credit for you real crystal, credit which can of course be traded for anything we have and want to trade, asuming we feel like it and you haven't screwed us to hard and we're in a good mood "

livespan is not quite the same as what you're describing now. you'll still be able to play this game in 2015, but don't expect 2015 games to run on you current mainstream system. You'd need one of them bigatom machines for that

define compat i ble . it'll probably run, but run like manure in an old bucket. That is, if we're talking 5 years behind mainstream. 5-7 years ago, we were happy with Dx7, win2k was new, we were running 166mhz cpu's and had at best 256mb's of ram.

yeah, the bombers are way overpowered, especially GDI because of the orbital flight thing. It's instant death for conyards. You change the player-side or artificial player behavior by first opening the corresponding drop-menu, clicking the item you want, then hitting the key that corresponds to the first letter of that item (i.e. N for NOD), and sometimes clicking the item again. hmmmm.trying now

Ok, playing devils advocate here. U got to play NOD!? I cant. I could only play GDI, I will have to take another look at this. got to play against NOD, and stole one of their avatar mechs, which is indeed underpowered compared to mammoths but, i asume, can be far stronger when canibalising some things. At any rate all I know is that the Black Hand = gay overpoweredness. When I had my troops in a buil

Reply to Girls that play RTS? in Everything Else Sins Forums

Yeah, P5y, but the girls DO pull over and ask for directions as for girl gamers, dated one some year and a half ago, and she would kick my ass in Quake3 about 2 out of 3 times. (which would lead to me being rediculed at every lan party), then again, i'd beat her with just about every tactical shooter (close call) and RTS (massacre). why? I guess the FPS thing is reflexes, and the tactic

yeah, orbital domination, but those planets are the same size. wouldn't the orbits be very erratic? It would be a miracle that they've even formed like that, let alone survive for millions of years. anyway, the new designs look like my videocard is going to have a very hard time dealing with it.

neh, i don't really think they're to wierd. still, the system is far to full for my taste. Fewer planets would make things more realistic as well as strategically more important. If you have to many planets you are tempted go "Oh well, to bad about that one, good thing I have 12 more in the system.

I don't mind building major structures like research facilities and factories, but having to click through hundreds of individual power generators and farms (hello SupCom) is not fun. Double click a generator, it selects all on the screen. besides that, it would be nice to have presets for what is build on a planet (a la Imperium galactica) I do agree on the concept of infinite harvesting places, which are undepleteable (harvesting migh
