Reply to Upgrading planet infrastructure (emergency facilities) while it is being bombed in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

[quote who="WJC3688" reply="4" id="3472237"]In MP, I imagine you would never ever touch the emergency facility upgrades.[/quote] You actually do quite a bit...you obviously don't do it on every planet but you do put them on key worlds so you can go attack somewhere without having to worry about a planet being bombed out before you come back.... Building a turret in range of a siege frigate under control of the AI will usually get it to relocate somewhere else...o

Reply to Scouting as early warning (not just for exploration) in Strategy Sins Forums

Be careful jumping back and forth between planets....if you queue up several orders, sometimes the scout will actually travel all the way to the planet itself instead of immediately turning around at the edge of the well and jumping away... Also, you can often tell if a planet has been colonized by the color of the extractors in the infocard...when you hover over a planet, the text for the extractors will appear grey if an extractor is built and white if one is not...this works regard

Vasari have a huge advantage in some positions, but also have a huge disadvantage in some positions...matchups with Vasari are more map dependent, but on average they are equal with the other races, no need to nerf them...

There are about as many casual games as there are skilled games...of course, you wouldn't know that if you don't regular ICO... Tons of FFAs with "all welcome" in the title, small team games, etc. etc....if you want to play casually, it's just as easy (or difficult) as playing skilled....

[quote who="Hydraling" reply="8" id="3471456"]Radiance vs prog is actually an even matchup. Once the former hits level 6 its game over for the prog player.[/quote] Prog does have colonize, and excluding the occasional fight over that planet you both colonize, bomb out, colonize, repeat, etc. the radiance isn't going to counter that advantage...the map determines the usefulness of a colony cap but at the very least it will save you a colony ship and some resources upgrading populat

As this thread has clearly shown, the hostile attitude between MP and SP is mutual...it is simply unfair to blame one side when in fact both sides can be equally ignorant...I will tell you that many MP players, even if they do have an ego, really just want a fair challenge, not necessary a win.... If you look at the win/loss ratio of most skilled players, you will find that there is little correlation between skill and win/loss....the best players aren't looking for a win, they ar

For Advent, it is almost always Prog...you see people try the other caps but if they do well, it is usually because they outplay their opponent, not because their cap choice was a good one....the prog helps win fleet battles with malice, is good for suicide and eco because of the colonize, and helps against missile barrage and Orky rushing with shield regeneration...there is no other cap that does all of those things... If I had to pick a second cap for Advent, I'd say Halcyon...i

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

I do believe the ability is intended to get hull from any nearby destroyed ships...now, whether that percentage is applied to the destroyed ship or to the corsev could be a design decision, though I'm inclined to think it is a bug, or at least an oversight... However, it being unkillable at high levels depends on the fleet compositions involved...I'm not sure that salvage ops is particularly relevant when SC spam dominates the battlefield....

I see a lot of hostility on these forums towards the MP community...usually this hostility comes in three forms.... First, there is criticism on the MP community for being, well, nitpicky...this criticism, however, is usually heavily biased against MP and conveniently ignores other parties that exhibit the same behavior...MP demands (or complains of the lack thereof) many features for ICO to help improve their game experience...this is not any different than SP guys com

What I'm about to say is going to be very similar to what Sinkillr has said...I'm not trying to be redundant, but rather I think it is important for people to see multiple voices saying the same thing for the sake of credibility..

At least my smurf accounts were made four years ago...your trolling is so n00bishly amateur... To the OP... Corsev is a decent ship...if you buy up to lvl 3, you will do really well against frigate fleets and can catch even decently skilled players off guard...unless they have an AM draining ship, they will have to run their fleets or seriously outplay you...it's a high risk, high reward strategy -- the best players still stick to the more dependable marza or akka
