[quote]It would have been a major nuisance trying to keep track of which tanks were utterly useless at any given time if there were 200+ of them on the field. Though I'd argue against it, death chances might not be so bad but the other non-death status effects strike me as something that would just be a hassle to manage.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun "In February 2008 the US Navy tested a magnetic railgun; it fired a shell at 5,600 miles per hour using 10 megajoules of energy. Its expected performance is over 13,000 miles per hour muzzle velocity, accurate enough to hit a 5 meter target from 200 nautical miles away while shooting at 10 shots per minute. It is expected to be ready in 2020 to 2025."

Woooooooo, someone understood the concept. :CONGRAT: All those English college credits I took weren't a complete waste. :p I'd like different modifiers for capital ships though. I don't want people to be afraid to use them.

[quote]Damage modelling is good.RTS's are not really the place for this, though. Many (or most) players don't want random die-rolls determining if they win or lose. If the game had complex compartmentalised damage systems (like a sim) it'd be fine: but I doubt anybody wants retarded Armada 2 style 'oh yeah by luck the guns on your biggest ship stopped working lol guess you're doomed' stuff.[/quote] I disagree with this. Company of Heroes does this "random" dice roll very predictably.

Alright, thx for the reply kryo. I'll have to figure out some way to mod what I can. ;p I'd like to thank everyone else for keeping it civil. [quote]I think it's a good idea, but I'm really worried about massive interface clutter, as well as the encouragement of micromanaging units with interesting disabilities - like the engine overload. Would you want ship AI to be trying to handle the problems it encounters, or would you leave it in the players' hands?[/quote] I don't

I get what everyone is saying about the randomness of the events. I think I might be miss leading about how often and when they would occur. The chance of something negative occurring on a critical hit is inversely related to HP/SP. In other words the ship is going to have to be pretty far gone for something serious to happen to it. So in summary, something negative doesn't [I]always[/I] have to happen. What I'm trying to do is add some flavor in the way ships slowly falter and

X-( ---->Obligatory Wall of Text Warning Hi, over the past couple weeks I've been slowly trying to flesh out a combat mod for SoaSE. To me the RTS standard "shoot unit X until HP == 0 and dies" is a little dated. I'm a big fan of Company of Heroes; and I know Frogboy is too thanks to the GFW podcast. I was looking for a way to add the variety of a CoH style critical hit system to SoaSE. For those of

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

I'd like to see increased capital ship effectiveness. By effectiveness I mainly mean longevity. I'm forgoing even using capital ships as soon as I get heavy cruisers. For instance, when my capital ships I initially built eventually explode due to negligence and/or blistering focus fire, I just replace them with heavy cruisers. I feel that the benefits of five more heavy cruisers outweigh the benefits of a capital ship. I'd like to see this change so I know that I can get more than 30 s

I'm sure it'd be an entertaining community event to say the least. :d P.S. Sorry if this has been brought up already. :NOTSURE:
