Reply to Random Events List (Mostly) in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Most competitive games have random events off...of all the events, the 2 worst are the Gamma Ray Burst and anything that spawns ships...the former is bad because if it hits a player's HW, it can irreversibly cripple that team...that's just too large a source of credits for a frontliner to lose, and it is not the kind of event that affects their opponent equally...the later is bad because it can be free XP for someone's titan or caps, which can lead to a very unfair advantage that

First off, you should make a windows 8.1 ISO so that you will always be able to reinstall the operating system. http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/53855-Windows-8-1-with-Update-ESDs-Repository The website above will provide you with ESDs (basically the windows installer) for windows 8.1 (with the spring update)...I'd suggest clicking on the "Direc

Reply to Why does the Marza suck so much? in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote who="RespawnedTitanL10" reply="18" id="3473596"]I never saw a traffic jam from a single group-move order, [/quote] Don't fixate on the term "traffic jam"...the issue here is when a ship is given an order to jump, sometimes it does not immediately jump when it gets to the edge of the gravity well...it might have to move itself to a position just to the side of it, and in that process it might do as much as two 180s...occasionally ships just seem to hang indefinitely (though

[quote who="RespawnedTitanL10" reply="15" id="3473562"]I'm surprised we don't find more on this forum about intentionally causing "traffic jams" as an exploit/tactic when chasing down important ships (caps, etc.)[/quote] Actually people do try to do it to caps and titans...they crowd their ships around it so the enemy can't jump in time to escape death...

Reply to Best Starting Capital ship? in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote who="RespawnedTitanL10" reply="28" id="3473329"]One thing that's not entirely obvious about the Rad is that once it levels up a bit, it easily gets an armor of 13+6(bonus from its passive)=19, doubling its hull basically, meaning you can spend twice as long bombing an enemy roid (or some structure with AM) before you have to retreat compared to most other caps.[/quote] This is completely wrong...probably the single biggest issue with your entire argument is that you take in

Reply to Cobalts vs. Gardas in Strategy Sins Forums

This behavior affects all frigates and has been in the game for as long as I can remember...it is just one among many pathfinding issues that ships have in this game, only one of which has arguably been fixed (ships do point turns instead of arc turns now)...while I'd love for all of them to be fixed, I have a feeling they won't...

In general, flak spam works when: You have a really good AoE to handle frigates (lvl 6 marza, lvl 5 corsev, titan) You need protection from SC and/or corvettes Carriers aren't an option because you need the firepower ASAP or you need to do a lot of phase jumping These situations occur every once in a while...hell I've spammed flak a few times to protect my Advent titans...they aren't common though since usually you have a legacy f

Reply to Request: Make Old Versions Playable as Betas on Steam in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Out of curiosity, who has the ability/authority to make text changes? Also the EU4 feature is really nice, not only for modding but for finishing old games, getting old ConvertData's, and reverting back when waiting for a hotfix...while I think we've missed most of the window where that feature would have been nice, it couldn't hurt to have it...
