[quote]I would think it has to do something with the time that it might take to build a ship plan, and then actually deploy it. [/quote] exactly. go into galciv, and design a ship with a stopwatch on. you will most likely be very surprised.

Reply to Combat Strategy in Strategy Sins Forums

I tend to like the advent carrier and battleship fleet, so my technique is a bit different. I try to guess the enemy's escape route and place my long range ships where they can hit them for as long as possible without eating too much lead, use my light frigates to pound on their flaks to give my bombers clear skies while the flaks pound on their fighters and bombers, then pound their caps with everything I've got. I like to leave my carrier in mid-long range to take advantage of it's abilities a

Reply to Funny story >_> in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I don't have any funny experiences, but that's because I generally wait till i have 40+ frigates and 2 or more caps, and generally know how to wipe the floor with that fleet. Best thing that happened in one of my games was following the second pirate attack on a guy who had no idea who I was or that I was coming with the combined fleet of an ally and me in the early game.

I think the devs said that they'd add the campaign in the expansion after they made the sandbox as good as they could, and the modability is already there, they just need to release the tools so we can get the files out of binary.

Reply to Should ships just stand completely still in battle? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote] great io cant seem to edit my post so now i have to double post has anyone else seen this happen with other units or at all let me know thanks [/quote] Battlefleet Gothic'll have movement for at least one race, and hopefully we'll get the inertia working properly. There'll be more focus on tactical maneuver and more larger ships with a feeling of inertia.

Reply to Capital Ships Underpowered? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]in any case I have a question: why are all the advent fighters and bombers a solid turqoise color? shouldnt they have, oh I dont know, parts?[/quote] i think the reasoning is that they're expendable drones made by psytech, so it's the easiest way to make them.

Reply to A CHALLENGE! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

you wanna see the replay? it's kinda long though because once frogboy surrendered, we just started messing around with the superweapons. It was a really fun game even though we mostly won by attrition, and I spammed "OMG (Insert Feature Here) is awesome *fanboy drool*" Oh, and the monk officially rules for hosting the game even though he couldn't play and his planets got owned.

Reply to Campaign? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

i'd love to see a 'historical battles' section, where you're given a relatively developed position and have to win with that, and the possibilites for more achievements if you beat certain criteria.
