Reply to [Fixed next build]Pirates are ridiculously powerful??? in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

[quote who="The_Regicide" reply="89" id="2537521"]How about a new pirate launching mechanic. Right now, unless you manage to get the pirates to attack, you just wasted a ton of money. I dislike the all-or-nothing approach. So I thought of a dispersal pattern. Say you have three players with bounties of 1000, 750 and 250. When the pirate wave is spawned, it is divided into three groups on a 1000:750:250 ratio, so everyone gets a piece of the cake. This way, i you place a bount

Its not about the turning speed, I dont think its too slow. Maybe it can be made faster, but not too fast, because even if we forget realism, inertia and centifugal force, it will just look funny. The issue is that ships always immidiately accelerate forward with main engines, even if they are ordered to turn around. That is the problem.

Reply to Pathfinding Annoyance in Technical Sins Forums

I agree, this desperately NEEDS to be corrected. Annoying arcing turns issue completely negates any attempt of tactical maneuvring or strategy, and was actually the reason why I stopped playing Sins first time when I got it, and started again only after I learned how to mod and increased turn rates / decreased ship speeds to patch it a little. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e] No matter how I look at it, this movement behaviour is absolutely unreasonable. The best solution would

Frakk! Another promising tactical maneuver screwed by those arcing turns... [e digicons]>_>[/e] I hope this gets fixed ASAP in the next patch (1.20?).

Reply to This HAS to GO! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I completely agree with the OP. The whole turning and acceleration physics in this game is a pain in the ass. I personally fixed it a bit by modding - increased ships turn rates and decreased movement speed, but it still causes problems sometimes. The best option would be turn rate increase along with the new rule that ships start accelerating forward only if the target waypoint is in, say 90 degrees FOV angle or less (45 degrees off the central FOV axis or less).

Reply to Armada 2526: New 4X space strategy game in November 2009. in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Definitely a good game already, and will get even better when they catch out all initial problems and start to add more features and expansions. And most importantly - it has hotseat. GC2 has finally something to fear! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Which reminds me to ask: Are you guys at Stardock planning to make some new stuff to GC2 sometime? New expansions or eventually GC3? When can we start to look forward to it? [e digicons]:)[/e]

Finally some space 4X turn based multiplayer game since MoO, which doesnt look lame. Looking forward to it! ( Actually, I wouldnt mind if it would be just enhanced GalCiv 2 ripoff with multiplayer [e digicons]:grin:[/e] that would be enough for me..)

Reply to Galactic Civilizations: The case for no multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I understand that adding internet and network multiplayer to a game like GalCiv could be complicated. But whats so hard about hotseat mode? If engine limitations are the main problem, then when could we start to look forward to GalCiv 3, with new engine and mutiplayer? Sins was a major success, so what about to revolutionize turn-based multiplayer space strategy genre too?

Reply to Thoughts about the Fleet system. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I think the best system would be the combination of both. Keep the upkeep based on research, but allow the player to revert back to previous upkeep levels, with a price tag. Every strategic supply decision can also be reverted back, if you put some resources to it. If you can convert a trading society to waring one, you should also be able to do otherwise if the situation changes. You are able to adapt only one way, but not the other, thats whats wrong with the current system. [e digicons]:an
