Reply to The Power of Culture in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

First off,i think multiple towers would be best, you can't figure out how many you need, but really if the enemy has even 1 tower of their own,you won't ever break the colony. Actually, if your playing advent, they have a tech that lets you see all hostile culture on the map,growing and receding, and further research of culture will give you vision on anything your culture touches(like an enemy colony or pirate base for example)

Reply to Best capital ship in Strategy Sins Forums

TEC - Kol #1, Sova #2, Dunov #9...lol Advent - To be honest, all of them besides the revelations battlecruiser are #1 on my list, they all rock in their own way(And even more when together) Vasari - Antorak,Evacuator and Devastator are all #1, haven't tried the other 2.

Reply to Vasari Guerrilla Tactics, or take out the Battleship in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Well, this is what the Antorak Marauder is for,if i recall correctly(only cap i use as vasari is the evacuator) it can speed other ships into phase faster with one of it's abilities, so they could maintain damage,buffer and agility all together.

Reply to Dense/Porous cores. What are the odds of this happening? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Lol yeah i had that happen to me aswell, i don't really care much thought. Since i keep all guns & structures close to the planet itself it doesn't change anything to me and i never notice if it's any bigger or smaller. But yeah that's weird lol. I also had a planet with the -20% structure build rate and then a 20% boost to structure build rate.

Reply to Cap ship rush? in Strategy Sins Forums

Never quite seen that myself, but if i was to do it,i would have a tec economist feed me all his resources so i could build a cap ship rush, i suppose it's feasible,just not very easy to accomplish. They probably practiced this,or where in the same room.

Reply to Wormhole how to use them? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

You have to research the ability to use Wormholes(Note that it isn't the same as the one that allows you to phase between stars) then move your ships to the center of the wormhole,and they should appear at the other end.

Reply to Dark Fleet in Strategy Sins Forums

They don't 'instantly' re-appear at the other planet(like when you use a wormhole) They still phase,but instead of having to phase through every planet to get to the destination,they can just make 1 long phase directly to the planet you told them to go to.

Reply to Hangar defense vs. LRMs in Strategy Sins Forums

To be honest,static defenses just don't cut it with lrm's, the issue isn't that they do too much damage,it's just that when your facing 100 frigates,and you take them out 1 at a time,it'l take for freaking ever....and eventually you'll break. Anyways,if you must build static defenses,4 hangars all with fighters,and as many repair bays around em as you can fit. micro the fighters so the ydon't all attack a separate target, and you should bring a considerable number down.

Reply to Prequel to Advent Builds: Advent Ship and Strategy Analysis in Strategy Sins Forums

Lol? Illuminators do not blow,their much better then lrm's. As for capitals....The Revelations has the highest base damage if i recall correctly,alhought radiance and mothership are still the best. As for the guardian...it's not steep....if your playing advent you w ant your shields at their best, and they only requires 3 labs, well worth every penny. Anyways onto the maps... Small map 1 vs 1.... 4 disciples, a mothership, and 2 temple of harmony so y

Reply to Culture percentage achievement in Strategy Sins Forums

From what i've heard,it's currently impossible to get your culture higher then 50% so,you won't be getting that one anytime soon. As for the artifacts....i suggest a multiplayer game with as many planets/stars as possible,it may just be me....but in 1 multiplayer game,i found all 9 of the artifacts in just 11 of the planets(this after days of playing single player games looking for them)

Reply to Bounty: does it matter to you? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

It's very situational, if i've properly scouted him,and see an opening then yeah, i would likely attack him, but then again....if it's mid-game then the opponent should easily handle the pirates,and then just move on to me, so i typically use them only early on when it makes a big difference. And no,i don't mind getting pirates put on me,put 1 capital ship in the direction their ocming from,and watch it level up.

Reply to [Question Regarding To Pirate Attack Order] in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Don't know if i phrased that right,so let me try again. I think that The ai will look around,and see your homeworld and where it is,then assuming there's more then one option,it'l take the shortest one,and attack whichever of your colonies it happens upon first, get it? At least,this is what i notice happening to me.

Reply to [Question Regarding To Pirate Attack Order] in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hmm, i wouldn't know then, i suppose that would be the logical thing,but the AI isn't always doing the logical thing. Alternatively,they might just take the route that's the shortest to reach your homeworld.

Reply to [Question Regarding To Pirate Attack Order] in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Pirates will go after whichever colony of yours is closest to their colony, doesn't particularly matter what colony type it is(planet,roid or dead roid) They do, however always go after trade ships and trade ports, and ignore all else until those are gone. by the way, wether on accident or on purpose,you made this same thread twice.

Reply to Vasari - DA/RA controversy in Strategy Sins Forums

I personally love to use Vasari just for the phase stabilizers and dark armada, but i only bother to use it on maps where i have ally support and/or multiple stars to hide in while i tech up,as you said RA is a huge investment, and if someone knew how to scout efficiently, they'd notice you spamming viturska's labs and phase stabilizers and would stop you,if you power rush to RA,as i often do...my only defense is your patience and lack of an ability to effectively scout. Anyways,if you

Reply to noob questions in Strategy Sins Forums

Depends on ammount and how hard the enemies are,i don't like going more then 3 phase jumps away from my home world at beggining of the game,not only will it be harder to defend,but because your so far...your allegiance, and thus your income will be lower there. Typically,i colonize 4-6 planets(number depends on game settings,and wether or not these are roids or actual planets),but never far enough that your within 1 or 2 phase jumps from the enemy.
