Reply to Keeping Planets in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]I love to play as the Advent, and don't ever really have a problem taking out fleets (when they don't run away) but I can't for the life of me keep a planet safe.I'll take it, post up some defense, and then watch as some planet killers wipe it out. The last game I played, four defense hangers and two beam cannons couldn't keep it safe.Am I supposed to build even more hangers to keep it safe, or waste my fleet cap and just have ships always hang around?Here's a wild idea: Keep a group of S

Reply to Do Pirate raids ruin the AI or hamper them? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

same problem with me everytime i play with an AI he has a small fleet made up of 10 light frigates and 1 (sometimes 2) capitals, and 1 fleet made up entirely out of siege frigates (record so far is 35 in 1.5 2 hours) i'm eager to find out why the AI makes this choice, since by then my fleet consist out of 25 light friagtes 25 lrms 5 or 10 antifighter and 1 or 2 capitals more then enough to take down his siege friagtes, but the hit and run tactic is pretty annoying

Reply to Unit Counters ( I hope this becomes the ultimate counter thread ) in Strategy Sins Forums

sorry to say but all this is not true there are a few ways to counter LRM class frigates, and TEC garda is not one of them TEC: the only way to effectively counter LRM's is to make LRM's of your own, since theyre made pretty fast Advent: best way to counter LRM is using the Illuminator, since it needs 3 tech levels this is not always avaible instead use Defence vessels, the adventanti fighter frigate is the strongest of its type and wil do go

[quote]The first part of the mod sounds great but: Some of the changes in the 1.0:- Normal self-repair removed.This is a terrible idea. The reason for self-repair is to eliminate the need to micro. Self-repair is slow enough that it makes no difference in a fight, and the entire reason it's in-game is to remove an incentive to turtle. Instead of blockading around repair stations, you can set up defensive fleets in neutral areas like Wormholes. Self-repair means that they can take care of the

Reply to General Warfare Strategy in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]Just bulid some scout ships, and send them to various planets owned by the enemy, all if possible. This is always fun to annoy the player by having multiple structures (even if the buildings regenerate it) under attack. The player will often send a large section of his force to deal with them, or start building defenses. If the player sends some of ships, this will obviously make him weaker. If he builds defenses, a large chunk of his income is wasted. This becomes a small t

Reply to Strong vs. None??? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

i think you are refering to the Carrier cruiser right? in this case, the Carrier is the weakest ship in game, even scouts are better the Bombers and fighters it can produce are pretty powerfull however another example of sweet balance.... pawning bombers without a refuelspot r worthless ;)

Please dont do cost comparisons, because the bombers also kill other ships and structures, Im just stating what can happen before any of the bombers start dissapearing, not the carriers. Oh sorry, here I was thinking any discussion of 'unbalanced' elements might want to actually look at if it's actually a problem or not. If yo

Reply to Making Phase Jump Inhibitors work in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]It sounds like the objection to a total lockdown is that it is possible for the defending player to make a very strongly guarded chokepoint, then fire superweapons (novalith cannons, etc) from behind it. I think you could fix this specific problem without making the PJI so weak for its intended purpose, though. Here's two ways: * Make the PJI easy to kill. Simple. * Make superweapons shut down their owners' PJIs for X minutes after firing. [/quote] <
