Reply to Scouts in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]It is possible to turn the auto-attack option of your fleet to false. That way, they won't attack the enemies scouts. This helps in two ways: You can leave your fleet at the repair station(s), and you won't lose any hard-won reputation with that AI player if you destroy the scout.Also, research PSIDAR (or its non-TEC equivalent), to know when an enemy fleet is approaching your planets. That way, if its just a scout, you can always turn off auto attack. If its a large enemy fleet, just tur

wooot? u actualy wanna spil the fun of the game and remove utility? u cant be serious.... remove utility and replace with lrm + kodiak spamming? that = so lame. if i make a fleet i atleast get some utility with me, if you are unable 2 properly use utility then i'd suggest you go on training with an A.I. the only thing that doesnt feel 100% in this game is people trying to take advantage making massed lrm's or kodiaks..

i see al these long explenations about vasari being (worst) in defending with tactical stuff... (didnt read al of it tough) reminds me... vasari have phase gates . right? 1. phase gates let u phase jump between planets that both have em 2. they bring RA 3. they are the best defensive choice in combination with PJI as vasari u need a gate at each 1 planet so u can assist instantly when needed the only downside is the (slow) phase jump speed, but then again its A

1. build 2/3 scout ships (or more depending on the amount of nearby planets) 2. build 1 capital ship factory 3. build 1 metal extractor, then 1 crystal extractor then another metal extractor (in this order) 4. your scouts should be olmost ready now, que up 4, 5 or 6 frigates (4 for Vasari, 5 for TEC, 6 for Advent) 5. get a capital ship (preferably the 1 with colonize since they all give pretty good starting abilities) 6. order scouts to move to nearby planets and enable

carriers are neat later on, the advantage of carriers is that you can micro the carriers out of danger while the ifghters and bombers keep attacking the enemy tough as mentioned above... u're a complete fool if u use strike craft vs flak dont forget tough... strike craft arent meant to be alone always have a fleet with your carriers and if possible keep em out of the battle (edg of gravity well) another "dumb"strategy some people used was making lotsa (75

Reply to Returning Armada overpowered in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Returning armada definatly is overpowerd no matter how many replays you show me i'vee seen what I can do with it the problem here is that .. like any other empire, the vasari need economy. they do this relatively slow since of the slow trade ports after they succeed in getting a network established... which happens pretty fast.. the game is nearly over, al they need is 10 min of time to prepare a few gates and get returning armada tech, now t
