[quote]agent Kharma... you are pretty clearly a conservative denier.[/quote] I am certainly a conservative, but I hesitate to classify myself as such these days, because in the popular culture the term seems to have degenerated into little more than "Bush supporter" (never voted for him), "war supporter" (I am not), republican (I am not), or, paradoxically, a supporter of big government (I am not). Since the term seems meaningless these days, I don't use the term, but will certa

[quote]Missile Barrage- the ability is silly as it is and the complaints about it are legitimate, no crew could attack infinite targets with missiles, either implement a target maximum or restrict to a smaller area saturated with non-homing missiles- a proper 'barrage'.[/quote] I hated the marza as much as anyone else. I think case against the marza was laid out and thrashed out very well on all sides, with vigorous and heated debate. The devs certainly read the main post

[quote]So then, what is your answer to the radioactive waste that is produced by nuclear fission - how do we dispose of it?[/quote] I don't understand why it should be so big of a problem. For one thing, the stuff we are digging up to stick in reactors (Uranium) is radioactive. Is the stuff that comes out - the waste - any more radioactive? Why can't we just stick the waste where we found the original stuff to begin with, or dig some big hole somewhere? I don't

I am neither denier nor skeptic, I'm just a realist who realizes that the world is full of lies, liars, and stupid people who can't think for themselves. I side with neither liberals nor conservatives on anything (rather, I just side with the correct side), and I never vote for a major party. Furthermore, as a disclaimer, I will state that I hate corporations and big money more than most any "liberal." These are the facts as I see them. If you pay attention, you will

I wouldn't swear to these conclusions for the moment, that's why I'm throwing this out there to hear what others say. But unless I hear something that changes my mind, it seems to be correct. I've been trying to use the skirantra to counter various things by advent and tec. It has dawned upon me that while it received a buff along with the other carrier caps, its buff is far less useful in practice, so it received an effective nerf against the other carrier caps. T

Okay, just got out of a 1v1 as vasari vs... of course advent (you didn't guess that correctly, did you?). He used the... of course seeker/disciple spam strat (you didn't guess that correctly, did you?). At any rate, what I'm here to say is, I've stumbled upon the perfect counter as vasari! I'm serious! Read on.... So the game starts. Of course, not only am I 'roid fucked, but I have only 1 phase lane out of my homeworld as well, so I was instantly b

I know because I have quit playing in the larger games for my own personal reasons, and pretty much do 1v1. To give you a taste of the dilemna I faced in my last game, the game starts. Because I am still paranoid about having 2 halcyons show up early

The spam alone is bad enough to deal with. But have you been hit with the spam backed by 2 halcyons loaded with bombers, in a rush? Because then the only "counters" you are left with don't work! Starbase? It goes down in seconds to the bombers. Capships? They die in seconds to the bombers. Get out a few carriers with fighters to deal with the bombers? Bitchslap. Anyway, I agree that 5v5 pugs, quickstart, and fast speed settings are a lot

I played tons of Dow, and now Dow2, and have never seen an episode. But the first game I ever got on Sins MP, there was a huge episode, and it has continued ever since.

Here are some votes, and I thought it would be helpful to the debate to explain my rationale for them. Nay to change minimum mines to 3. My rationale for this vote is that there should be some variability between planets so that you have strategic choices to make about how to colonize them. Nay to buff fighters. The reason isn't that I don't think adjustments aren't needed or warranted.
