That was my suggestion a while back for degredation. Something like 70% for each overseer (stackable), that way 10 of them get you a mobile PJI, but cap the degredation at 700%. Other numbers: - 100% degredation for each overseer, 7 gets you a mobile PJI (I like this better than the above). - 140% degredation for each overseer, 5 gets you a mobile PJI (I like this the best). I agree with egg's colonize sucking - either increase the build rate, or perhaps

Hi. 6 planets should take you a couple minutes, not a couple hours. You're screwing up really bad, but we should be able to straighten you out :-) If you just want success against easy random 3v3: 1) Pick colonizer as your capship (any race). 2) Send out scouts, then send colonizer capship to the first asteroid you encounter (there should be one connected to your homeworld in most circumstances). Colonize. 3) IMPORTANT: After colonizing

[quote]Subs can counter ilum and guards pretty well.I would say it is cheaper than repulse.[/quote] Yeah but subs are tier 5, and distortion field is tier 6. Since illums come at tier 3, well... good luck. I played a 1v1 against an average player today, who picked advent and spammed illums. I owned substantially more of the map than him, and outplayed him, except I couldn't counter his illums as vasari so eventually gave him the win. In the chatroom he told m

How the heck do you post an image? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I've never been able to do it. Do you have to host it somewhere first, and then give the link to it? Can you simply upload it to your post from your hard drive? I've used the "insert/edit" image thing, and filled in all the required data, but it never works. Help!

Hi Ballz, My recommendation is, if you don't feel strongly one way or the other, don't vote on it. Which is what I will be doing at the moment. Deceiver, don't take my last post up there as "ganging up against you" (not saying you did take it that way). As I said, your posts on this are well-reasoned, and at the end of the day, who the hell knows, maybe you are right. I know something needs to be done to help vasari against illums, but I don't know if that entails buffing the scout, buff

[quote]Did you know the player you were going to attack?[/quote] Nope. If a certain level of scripting and programmed play is necessary to play the game at your level, okay I understand that, accept that, and can do that. Since 99% of the time an Advent is going to illum spam, it will make my life a hell of a lot easier to just start building the counter to that from the get-go rather than having to physically verify what he is building first.

I think something needs to be done here, whether it is buffing the vasari scout, buffing the vasari flak, making charged missles work against regular frigs again - whatever. I don't care what the s

[quote]Haha thanks grey I was begiining to think I was only one.[/quote] You certainly aren't the only one. Others think what you think. However, the question is "what to do?" Personally I'm a little fearful of buffing fighters because I don't want carriers to become what they were before. I think it's a knife edge unit. Buff a little too much, it's totally OP. Hard to find the sweet spot. Having said that, I can't see that rank carrier spam

Let me tell you something else, SunnyHawk. I got booted from a game tonight because the people said I was a smurf. I said "waitaminute... why am I being booted?" They said "you're a smurf!" I said "I'm not a smurf, I'll tell you all the names I play under right now" and as I was rattling them off, they booted me. I jumped back in and said "Waitaminute! Don't boot me, I'll leave on my own, okay? I just want to know why I'm being booted?" They kept sayi

Yes, the absolute truth is, I had never seen, met, or played with knewgui, howler, or pawelo before. So it isn't as if I just woke up and said to myself "hmmm, I think I'll log onto the forums and pick 3 names at random to accuse of an incident." Maybe if I'd ever seen or played with them before, it might be plausible that I'd make such a thing up just to

Reply to Skilled games Vs Regular games in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I agree with JJ and Amish 100%. Just try what they are suggesting for God's sake, instead of naysaying everything that comes down the pipe. I don't think there should be much practical disagreement about what is "skilled." Not to imply that the world revolves around clans, but if A) you are in one of the major clans, or B ) you can beat or hold your own against someone in a major clan, then you are "skilled." Does that sound like a good working definition? Al

The guy that spammed all those Halcyons was [DT]Siddy. I must say I have never seen so many capitals owned by a single player except in SP. Although I hear he is an asshole, in his defense its nice to see someone using a different or original strat every once in a while, and he doesn't just spam illums because I've seen a few of his other games as well.

If possible, do your fighting on one front. If not possible, you have to try to create chokepoints on your fronts and defend those chokes with well-placed static defenses and phase jump inhibitors backed by repair bays. Yes, if you had entrenchment you could put starbases in the zone of your repair bays and defenses, which would certainly hold off 4 AIs provided you did it right. Since you don't have entrenchment, you'll have to use what static defenses you have, and ships a

Hell Fox, quit talking about proof, because 1) you don't care about the behavior anyway, so if proof was provided it would be of no use to you, and 2) I doubt they would deny the incident anyway (provided they even remember it - I'm sure they commit infractions on a nightly basis). If you want proof, just ask them and see what they say, or ask this Pawelo if you know him. I bet there are good odds they won't deny it. But if you don't want proof, then quit asking for it.</p

This is not a blacklist. This is an assistance list for people who want to play clean games with decent people and not be verbally abused. It is a win-win, because the assholes by definition don't like the people they abuse, and the decent people don't want to be abused by the assholes. So it is just as much a help to the assholes as it is to the decent people. THIS IS NOT A BLACKLIST. Thanks for your tip about /ignore. I didn't know about that command.</

Reply to A few ideas for improving Sins in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

9. Why not just eliminate the need for micro'ing the damn strikecraft altogether? Make it impossible to micro, and then adjust the damage for whatever scheme the devs want the strikecraft to conform to (short attacking runs or long). If damage is too low for long attacking runs, and if long attacking runs are what the strikecraft will do, then just adjust the damage up. I'm for anything which reduces micro, not increases it.
