[quote who="Craig Fraser" reply="25" id="2072541"]Hehe...we were well over budget a month ago. This expansion was not priced properly, i highly doubt anyone will complain about its value once they've played it [/quote] sad to hear that (you are way over budget), but it's not surprising considering when it was planned to be released. respect that you waited and improved until it was polished enough, not all developers do that. and I agree. you do get a whole lot of co

midnight? I doubt that. tbh I can't tell you when exactly tomorrow it will be available, it will depend how soon it's done logically, it could be before noon or in the evening. also keep in mind that IC is EST (american east time) in case you are somewhere else.

[Done]show starbase range upon placing the ability in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I don't know if it's possible to do it, since it's a unit ability, but I think it would be great if we could see the range of a starbase upon placing it, similar to seeing the range of the turrets, repair bays, etc. when you place them from the menu. you kinda get a feel of it over time, but it would still be helpful.

[quote who="Mazuo" reply="7" id="2071468"]Does that mean they're still at 75% production efficiency if they're just chilling on the edge of a grav well while the enemy fleet is tied up by other ships? Because from the volume of some of the screamers over carrier nerfs, this just makes them look downright silly.[/quote] that's what it said in the changelog and that's what I observed in the game. haven't played enough to judge it properly, but I'd say it's a fairly good chang

[quote who="MindsEye" reply="4" id="2071220"]Im pretty sure when it says 75% it means -25% or 75% out of 100%. When they are under attack its lower like 30% and caps go to 50% when under attack but I dont think they have any penalty otherwise.[/quote] you are correct. ALL ship or structure with strikecraft have their build rate reduced by 50% when they are under attack. next to that, carrier cruisers get an additional -25% if enemies are in the same grav well, which brings the

Reply to General notes in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

[quote quoting="post"] in combat in particular (when units are moving from well to well also), the tree moves around too much for proper control, to the point where I feel it necessary to pause during some battles to adequately lay out orders without fear of it jumping up/down and me having ordered the attack of the wrong unit. [/quote] that bugs me too. maybe the ships in transit should be displayed at the very end of the list. that way

Reply to What annoys me about SINS in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

ad 1) well, customisability would not be a bad thing. I mean for me personally, there are some ship classes I don't want to auto join. colony ships, sieges, constructors, sometimes scouts. but that may be different for others and of course depends on the situation. if we ever do get more choice over what should or should not join, I'd certainly be happy about it. ad 2) I'm guess that has to do with technical stuff, the engine. likewise, I'd enjoy if the really point were on the fleet

Reply to keeping orders after 'disruption' abilities in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

[quote who="jjandrah" reply="3" id="2070451"] quoting postit limits my ability to focus on other tasks. That's the entire point. Stuns allow a player who is paying attention to snare a retreating capship from someone who isn't. They also allow a player who's paying attention to halt some of the more powerful abilities - Marza fleet nuke, Egg planet suck, and taunt+malice+retaliation. Also take note that the stun abilities are placed on the "weaker" capships (Akkan, Pepper, Marauder)

Reply to A New Idea: The Interceptor Strike Craft - a proposal for the 3rd expansion. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

well, I do think that unit specific damage or damage modifiers are a good thing, because otherwise there is just stronger or weaker. otherwise there is very little room for various roles if a unit's value depends solely on health and attack power. doesn't mean that is has to be extremely extensive though. but I'm digressing. I thought about a new fighter type too, but I couldn't find a concept that doesn't overlap too much with what is already in. and no, ignoring is not the same as d

[quote who="Pompeii" reply="1" id="2069957"]To be honest, Beta 3 is virtually unplayable for me. While it worked great for the first 25 minutes or so, it seems to inevitably crash. The sync bug that existed in Beta 2 seems to be fixed now, and I haven't encountered it in any of the 25 minute games I've been playing. The main problem is now minidumps - if they get those fixed by Wednesday, we'll be golden. On a side note, try not to be too harsh on the beta. It is a beta after all,

you get an automated response and in some cases a real one too. just for the record: the advent mine crash apparently also applies when playing against ai (it's what caused my crash of that other thread I made), so you might be careful and not use advent ais in this build. at least that's what I've been told.
