@ darth adder: a theatrical release? for fans specifically? I'm impressed. massive kudos to that, such a move may lead me to get the dvd set and movie. I heard it was a pretty good series and so with my general weakness for sci fi stuff I'd probably even be happy with it. danke für den tipp und gruß vom südlichen nachbarn. as for directions ... well, I may be the only one, but I found the season 4 finale very good. if nothing else would do, I'd like to see that future

Reply to Notes about advance start in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

hehe, well those extra resources should make sure the game got started very quickly. maybe another interesting point in the fast start could be that the immediate grav wells could be already explored. with all the resources available at the start and the capship factory ready to produce, instant information would be helpful. for example, you see a volcanic right next to you? maybe two civic labs are a good idea. just roids, but many of them? maybe two colonising ships may be a good id

charged missile tooltip missing information in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

the tooltip for the vasari charged missile abiltiy says that it grants the ability to assailants, but in reality it also grants them to sentinels (the flak equivalent). I think this little info should be included in the research infocard, since it's not quite irrelevant. don't think that's beta specific though, it probably has been like this for ... well, maybe even since the beginning. just thought I'd bring it to attention.

People will not be able to throw fighters around like they are in a parade. You will have to be careful with SC now. Its gonna produce more balanced fleet cause of the anti SC caps.With the flak buff and lower SC build rates you could get air control back maybe with just flak. It will force attacker to retreat till he b

Penalty to construction would be silly as carriers get a bonus to construction when they are under attack. The construction bonus is 50% when host is underfire I believe. So i theory you have to go out of your way and not shoot the carriers for the penalty to even matter. Also it does nto say wh

Reply to Testing flak in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

interesting, though it'd be much more interesting with larger numbers and maybe with a mix of flaks and lights of equal resource intake. maybe something like 10 carriers vs. 10 light frigs and 20 flaks or sth. also, an interesting point: maybe carriers have too much am. or squads cost too little. but then again, I head and support the posts than nerfing the dominant unit too much would just result in another spam. not that I'd really note the difference anyway.

Reply to Babylon 5- the movie in Everything Else Sins Forums

one of my biggest sources of scepticsm is how he can strike a balance between making a movie for fans and for the general crowd. I mean, the b5 universe is fairly extensive, so a couple of things would need to be explained to newcomers. but the more you do that, the less time for story remains. so also for that reason, I can barely imagine he would conclude an open storyline, just because it would take too much time explaining what had gone on before, who the people are and why they are doing
