[quote] My issue with the fleet cap is that the upkeep shouldn't be static. Each ship should add a small % of upkeep instead. If you lose a big army after a few fleet cap upgrades, you will still have that same big % on your income. This effectively lessens the chance of a comeback after a big loss. [/quote] I like having a fleet cap based on research. Though, I think that developers wanted this game to more tactful game, versus rushing units, to out pace the enemy with ships(

Even an asteroid can be upgraded with enough tactical slots, and hp, to survive 6-8 siege frigates on its own. LRM type ships rapes

Reply to Let us know what you'd like in v1.03 in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

- Make a option in game menu to allow a certain amount of Cap on units (I know that some Empires have a reason they have a higher Cap than the other Empires). For example make one setting Default (like it is now), 1.4, 1.6 and 2 multiplied by the default number. This way the Empire that has the default number of ships still get that, but the other Empires ship total goes up. If we increase teh default Cap of ships, other people computers will slow down, as the AI will build to the limit. This

Assigning Starting Positions in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Is there any way to Assign starting positions for players on a map. I looked through the PDF manual and could not find it. I looked through the Galaxy Forge Reference thread and could not find it either. Basically I made a Map with Galaxy Forge and want to make sure both allied Empires start near each other, not in 2 separate star systems. In galaxy Forge they have assigned planets but they still sometimes start in different locations. Is there something I need to select when I host

Forumla for making AI build Structures using the Y axis (or Z) whichever is the Height! in Sins Modding Sins Forums

While you can move ships using the Y axis to put them above planets, you canno place the structures in the same way. While I was thinking about it the other day and I've come up with a easy way to place objects on the Y with the AI. This examples uses a Gauss cannon Object to be placed near a other vital logistic object. Known locations that do not change Location of Planets will always be (0,0,0)(X,Y,Z) X= Radius Location, North side, West Side, East Side or
