[quote]1.) The halcyon carrier, because I love strikecraft and the halcyon is a king among carriers. 2.) Mothership, very nice support abilities. Malice and shield regen is very good.[/quote] QUEEN the Halycon = a QUEEN amongst carriers :), as far as i know i havent seen a single male advent... + ships are mostly considerd Females... :P
[quote]Recently colonized a world only to forget I had left my Novalith cannon in the other star system on auto fire.Had the last AI on thier last world with no ships bombing them. I then donated 10,000 credits to them. The AI response? "Thank you, is there more where that came from?"[/quote] owned ;D large-single system 8 players: i controlled over 75% of the map, 1 ai and 1 active guy stil fighting, when suddenly AI responded that my economy was to suc
[quote] Yes, I am a VERY picky consumer. It takes a lot to get my dollar, and Stardock does it for me. Not many others do.[/quote] heh :) i usualy thought it took alot to get my dollar, it's just that you dont know theyre trying to get you in buying a product via Demo's etc.. ever looked @ some? some have cool sounds and imrpoved stuff added in demo, then when you buy the real one and you pass that demo-part thingy things startto go downhill story usualy get's vague and sucky, the g

[quote]In my defensive hangars I used to equaly mix fighters and bombers, and it worked quite well for killing those ships AIs sent to scout. But when they came with 20-30 carriers, I just didn't have enough fighters to parry their bombers _and_ siege fregates, and also not enough bombers to harm other ships. Their fighters removed my bombers in the first minute, and my fighters in next 3, and their bombers and ships destroyed my orbitals in next 5. Even the usuall 4 repair bays and constant reb

[quote]Why so many scouts by that point and time? I think the Advent player had the superior fleet there, but like you said, he was outnumbered. I don't really understand why he had 20 scouts though, nor why he had so few Illums...[/quote] AI doesnt know/care that illum ownz, he prefers diciples/scouts :P on average i'd say, you've got a nice fleet as advice on how to improve it for online (and even singleplayer) games: [size="5"][U]CAP SHIPS[/U][/size]<b
[quote]He means the WHOLE game, not each map seperately.As of right now there is no real way to win the game.But hopefully soon a campaign will be added which will have objectives.[/quote] lool nooo, now that i think about it.. we cant win Sins... it's like.. having to own the ai over and over again......

lol nice theres currently alot of mod's going on.. i'd wish there'd be this function to just launch sins, pick your style go online and battle. :/ unfortunatly this wil (ofcourse) never happen.. to much work i guess.. + not enough players online Keep going ;D i love everything wich has to do ith space fighting and having your own startrek ships fight = more then awesome, all that's needed now is extra space to fight.. i.e. more types of debry, nebulas etc.etc.etc..
[quote]I haven't read anywhere in the Update notes but perhaps I missed, will the game speed be increase, I'm getting rather tired of waiting 5 min for my ships to go from one side of the planet to the other for a phase jump. If you are playing single player, press the plus and minus keys to speed up/slow down the game. Also set the speed options before game start.[/quote] Even online and speed set to fastest it can take a long long time for ships to jump,also the group ju
as of now there is no effective way to stop scouts from reaching your inner empire, other then PJI's , wuch can easily be counterd ..... and cost + research + slots + money... and even more slots since the PJI's has limited range, so building it on 1 side of the planet and the other side wont be affected.... thus you need 2 PJI's 2 have a smal chance to stop incoming scouts/fleets just look at it from the other side i hate it when im scouting and someone kills a scout, it

[quote]DANMAN's TITANs are more buffed versions of existing caps with mixed abilities. larger and even more expensive in cost and upkeep. if your TITANs are different, i will give it definitly a try but what i am still missing in SoaSE is cloaking. like in "Nexus - The Jupiter Incident" when cloaked, all shields are offline. when uncloaking, shields have to renew first, so this ability is not that overpowered. and you need perhaps scouts to detect cloaked ships.another thing i want to add is, th
explosions right now must and will be improved soon, only average explosion = a cap ship blwoing up, the detail i do like tough = debry, just pay some attnetion to the spot whre u lost your/ owned an enemy fleet lotsa space jump flying by (tough only 3/4 types?????) theres alot of mods, unfortunatly not everone online takes the time to activate a specific mod just to join my game....... it takes alot of planning to have a big game with Bailknights mod running.... the mod = awesome,
[quote]I like the Radiance because its good through the whole game for popping those pesky militia ships early game and late game it really helps against cap ships with its Detonante Antimatter ability which basically turns Cap Ships into huge frigates Cleansing Brilliance is beastly too [/quote] indeed, when on small maps i cant help to take the radiance as my #1 capital, it's just so monstrously strong combined with its detonate antimatter ability, and with clean
my favorite = the Halycon Carrier 1: its energy aura gives cooldown bonus for every ENERGY WEAOPON inside, as far as i know there are only 3 types of attack that do not count as energy 1: TEC rockets 2: Vasari Missles 3: TEC Siege Nukes (Advent siege bombs ARE energy :) ) this aura makes it why i get it as my 2e capital the ability to have an aditional fighter per squadron every level also adds up to overall damage (specialy when using fighters to hit w

Will Wright made it / supports it etc. it happens alot tough, technical support not responding, or if they cant find a solution not replying any more saw this happenning alot @ EA tech support (so far 3 problems, 2 of em are yet to be fixed.. no more replies after i wrote something like "i followed all the steps, none of them worked, what now?" i'm pretty sure toug

cobalt / diciple / skrimishers are a pretty good addition to any fleet late-game this is cuased mostly by their unique racial ability, Advent, steal anti matter TEC, sabotage reactor Vasari, auto-repair + sabotage engines (not sure about that last one) this gives pretty neat support + theyre great if you focuss fire with them on either siege frigates, carriers or FLAK you gotta be carefull about the flanking strategy tough, advent illums will make tht par
yes the more annoying part = how ships fly... i hopes thats either done in 1.1 or fixed later on, i.e. ships getting stuck in eachother.......... the AI wil always pick what he thinks is the shortest route going through a wormhole i believe = not considerd a jump, so if it takes 6 jumps to go to star system 2 while using star-to-star method and 5 jumps (wormhole-to-wormhole is not a jump) it wil take the wormhole i also cannot imagine why going through a wormhole = so
