That would be very helpful. Good idea, Kruelgor. Also: do the races' differant strikecraft have idiosyncrisies enough to justify putting them up on the chart as well?

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....................:( Relic wouldn't put 'nids in Dawn of War either. Torpedoes would make a good extra-slow ROF, extra-high damage weapon that bypasses shields, but some kind of countermeasure for dealing with tin fish is pretty key to BFG gameplay mechanics (not that you have to follow those to the letter...Dawn of War had some problems emulating Eldar being effective at all). Perhaps some sort of manufacturable, kamikaze strike craft? Though that would g

HW2's graphics WERE pretty good...but so are Sins'. It's really the gameplay that sets them apart. And the Story. And the music. And the general feel of the game. Etc. Etc. Etc. [Thread necromancy! Yay!]

I accept full guilt for any irrelevent tangents this thread may have gone on...what can I say, I relish a chance to talk to fellow 40k fanatics. Just a few ideas: -For necron particle whips, you could use the Vasari battleship capital's pulse beams. -Nova Cannons, Torpedo barrages, star pulses, etc. could be triggered special abilities, but take far less antimatter and are available for free -Tyranids need to eat planets. 'nuff said. Please don't ask me to put my mo

Assault marines are great for cityfight, especially if the sarge has power weapons. Two of my assault marines once hacked their way through a building with a 10-man havoc squad in it... in three turns. Pure bliss:)

Heheheh, that made me remember a game of 40k I played a couple years back...I was marines, and teamed up with Kroot: Me: so what exactly do those kroot do? Him: well, you can use them as meat shields or bullet magnets Me: What's the differance? Random passerby: Meat shields make a bigger splat when you kill them!

The minidumps may be caused by trying to load save games from the previous versions. That's what happened to me, and I was tearing my hair out until I figrued it out. No crashes since.

@FEAR100, [quote]Because they want to have something left when they're done.

That's a good point, but still, wouldn't that mean it should be a wedge and not a brick with some engines strapped to the back?

Sorry to butt in...I like to think of beams as more of a pure white with fringes of bright orange around the edges, it makes it seem less star wars laser-y. As for chaos lances, who knows that crazy sh*t they dump into their reactors. I kind of get some pangs of disbelief whenever I look at a ship painted in the colors of a space marine chapter. For the Templars or Iron Hands, not so much, but take the Imperial Fists. how long is a battle barge? How much surface area does it ha

So next time the US air force names a ship "osprey," "Harrier," "hornet" (technically an insect, but you get the point) "Falcon" etc, is that a bad thing? Birds fly. Fighters fly. It works. Sorry if that seemed disrespectful, the tone of that came out somewhat less jokingly than I intended.

Reply to Ship Designs needing most improvement......vote. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The models for the original SINS game weren't so bad, it's just that the textures were left wanting. Just take those gunz on the kodiak (and the crusader too, for that matter) and make them NOT BE POINTING FORWARD. That way the suspension of disbelief is preserved somewhat when the thing fires at something behind it.

Reply to Ship Designs needing most improvement......vote. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Advent ships all look great, though why don't the fighters have textures? Vasari as well (though the Davastator looks like a giga-TIE fighter, but that's a tiny gripe). The Assailant could be tweaked a bit, but it's nothing bad. The kodiak needs to be redone. Simple as that. It would be fine if all of the guns didn't point the same way. But as it is, that has got to be some of the worst art direction in a space game short of some of my earlier GalCiv 2 monstrosities. Which is a

This may be outside the sphere of what is possible, but the battles could be conducted on a map with differnat regions and there is a risk-like system of moving from place to place to conduct battles. Though that's more GalCiv scope/scale than Sins.

Fear100, Is that really a bomb so powerful it's sending the planet's ocean into low orbit? Wow... Hmm, maybe every ship should have a planet killer-style supership? Space marines get a battle barge, Tau gets an explorer, Chaos gets the planet killer, Imperials get an Apocalypse, 'nids get a Norn Queen ship, Necrons get a Cairn, etc? One 'gigacapital ship' that is at the end of the research tree where the novalith/kostura/deliverance engine are now (in spirit more than

1: Homo Sapiens pride. Humans have always been one of the best races, and TA tech trees are no exception. 2: Thalans were VERY slow from the get-go for me. When I got the later techs researched, they chugged along nicely, but I was the bottom race for the first 3/4s of the game until I got Doom Ray. Also, the Arceans lacking engine techs is absolutely awful. Plus, for some reason, I've never survived the initial money crunch with them. 3: I don't think I've played a game yet in

I find that diplomacy victories are so easy (especially as humans) that I turn them off. It's just not as enjoyable as steamrollng over every opposing empire with a fleet of custom ships...after embellishing your planets with all that free terraforming, of course ;)

To the good man with the Yor icon, Jihad means a religious 'inner struggle' with one's beliefs that was only used to describe Holy War by Saladin to raise support for his reconquest of the Crusader states. If that's wrong, by all means correct me (I'm jewish myself \m/-_-\m/). And it woulnd't be all that silly to give the yor a crusade tech. Abbadon the Dispoiler's had...what, thirteen Black Crusades now (Warhammer 40k)? Regardless, I'm off topic. I've noticed that o
