From the beginning Schod has said that except for strikecraft or their equivalents, units do not move automatically to dodge in any RTS. Homeworld games, they don't. I mean, sure, they move to range, bring guns to bear, but dodge? No. Except, of course, the strikecraft. ORB, the same, except probably more so. Don't know about CoH, so I couldn't tell you :P C&C, helicopters move, but it's really more aesthetic than anything else, for me at least. I never saw a "dodging" longbow, f

Hey Bob mate; do you want to just stop arguing about this? I think we're just going to continue for ever and the argument won't reach an end. How about it?

Yup; I've seen someone take the cake. You are now a moron! Congratulations, dimwit. You didn't read! Didn't read! Didn't read! I'm not too surprised, seeing that you don't really read most other stuff. You're using rhetoric to justify your arguments; that's why they're flawed. I'm posting because I'm trying to help this guy worrying about a pointless thread, which this isn't. The reason I'm responding to you is to let Vic know that this guy who's putting down his thread for NO REASO

[quote]Moving around in space is not so much to "Dodge" whatever than to move at relativistic speeds so that the doppler-effect kicks in and it's harder to aim.[/quote] Eh? Going from stationary to relativistic speeds in seconds would mulch the inhabitants of the spacecraft... unless they have Star Trek-esque "Inertial Dampeners" or something. Which would also solve taltamir's problem... but realism sort of goes away... Come on, you'd need, what, 0.3 or 0.4c before beginning to notice th

[quote]I see but I fail to see the difficulty tbh. Would it imply to much overhead in the network code ? Desync problems or something. Can you give me a link or dev log where this is explained why it is cut ?[/quote] Sorry about the delay in replying :) Tbh, I have no idea about the network code or anything like that - I just assumed that it was because, as a real time strategy, it would be hard to fit a ship design thingy in there and maintain the pace of the game...

Yes, even more than 10 years ago people already had automatically dodging units in games. Just look at how revolutionary this game is by breaking with those age old standards [/quote] To be entirely honest, out of HW2, ORB, Nexus, even C&C flying units, and SupCom units only moved to maintain range (I hav

No, don't be like that! It's a difficult question to ask, and you're honourable for having asked it. Good man! Philistines thinking that questions about piracy are lame shouldn't rate in one's opinion of a thread's validity (- again, no insult meant to Bob.) Don't worry!

Reply to Ender's Game in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I see moliner's point; thank you! Concerning the rest of the series - it's not a necessary follow-up to Ender's Game (I've only read up to Xenocide at this stage and will continue further), but the philosophy in it combined with everything else makes for an absolutely fantastic read. Just great. But that's just an opinion from a guy having read only three of the books :P Thanks for the input!

Hi guys, Today I read a post by Craig, or rather a review linked by the post by Craig. Being so interminably lazy I couldn't be bothered to go back and find the URL other than remember the site was "squadleader" or something like that. Anyway, I only read the first paragraph of the review and it resonated deeply with me. For anyone who's read one of the few truly philosophical science fiction series' based on Ender's life etc, does anyone else feel that this game accomplish
