My friend used it against me in a MP game, the Novalith that is; I had lots of Asteroid planets, and it killed each with one shot. If I remember right, a Shield around it did nothing.
Basically, you can now have a "Front Lines". With a starbase ($3000 minimum price) you can make it very difficult (not impossible) for an opponent to reach you back planets. This also allows you to battle on multiple fronts (as you now don't have to worry so much about having a fleet on every front, and protecting all your interior planets too). The Starbases have all sorts of upgrades and there's all sorts of upgrades for Hangers and Turrets too.
I've played 2 games; Hard & Unfair, didn't knowtice a bug and most everything seems balanced. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Human vs Human will tell more.
Also, look in the research tab, there's a new area: "Defence" (generic term).
Instead of making another Thread, I'll ask now, Entrnechment tommorow? I just sent in a mini-dump 3 days ago, hard to beleive they'd have it all de-bugged already, but there's always hope . . .
Oh, they Got'a release all 3 on DVD/CD, just got'a. So many may not even know it exists till they see it in a store. Plus, I hav'ta have a solid copy to hold; I really don't prefer this "ownership via email" stuff, since I seem to have a new email and/or computer every other year.
Two things: I use to work in retail, and as a manager in retail too. You, all too often, get these "type" of customers too, like the guy that was banned. Think that if they bought something, they have a right to verbally abuse the employees and even upset other customers. When I was a lowley clerk, "my" manager use to say "The customer was always right", so we employees (and other customers) just had to take abuse from the jerks regularly, even from one I remember that ended
I got the game, my quick review is: The solo campain is 50/50, there is little strategy, but, I love the level-up stuff in between missions. There's so much diversity and possibilites when you level up your squads. But the solo campain is more like a FPS and RPG combined. The scirmishes are where it's at, but NO base building; zero; nada. But it only comes with 7 maps total and NO 2v2 maps, only 1v1 or 3v3 [e digicons]8C[/e] You start with one "base", and
Well, just finished my first game on Hard, medium random map: Here's the horrible bugs I found: The computer did'nt retreat all the time, it stayed and fought, especially if there was a Starbase! [e digicons]8(|[/e] Forcing me to build an actual well thought out fleet to attack it with. Carriers/Strike Craft seemed balanced; at first they swarm you as usual, but if you can hold them off and cut them down, they stay down, and Flak ACTUALLY helped! [e digicons]
Sins Forums
I cut and paste my custom music into the "Sound" folder as I've been doing for many months after each update/patch/beta, but when I start Sins Entrenchment, it still plays the old Sins music??? Yet when I go into the Sound folder and play the music files, it's my custom music??? This never happened before (it should be easy as pie)?
I uninstalled everything as told; have no mods, and I'm downloading as we speak. Guess I'll see in a couple hours if it works for me or not.
I'm excited about Beta 3, but, man, I JUST had to completely uninstall Sins and Entrenchment and then reinstall them both again due to a bug Impulse did when it updated Sins. Takes me 5-6 hours. Now I got'a do it again? [e digicons]8C[/e]
The carrier rebuilding SC changes, along with increased Anti-SC range increase is GREAT! That should be just the right nudge to make carriers/SC more balance, and, even be more realistic to boot (Attention all mechanics, this is the captian, please draw straws to see who has to repair the strike-craft durring the upcomming battle).
Addition: Played a game tonight, my level 3 colonization cap ship did it's job every time: 2 free extractors each time I colonized a planet.
Use to be nobody would build strike craft, now they are king. But slowing carriers (and lowering their armor/shieds) would help greatly; maybe not taking damage when they lost strikecraft, but costing LOTS of antimater, even resourses to build more fighters.
THAT"S what happened!? Thanks ToJKa. We had a mini dump during a MP game, and I remember it was exactly when my starbase was being attacked (while it was under contruction). But I never thought about that being the reason for the mini-dump. We did send in the dump-file though.
1 week to go (if the 25th is certain). Do you think there will be a Beta 3 before then?
Ya, I wish the Sova had like a simular ability to like 12 Flaks (2 front/rear, 4 on sides). Maybe 1 extra squad too to begin with.
It's the Colinization ability of the Tec cap ship. Although it seems to work on and off for me. Anyway, after you colonize a planet, it gives you a free extractor on a resourse, sometimes 2 (if your have level 3). But, like I said, some times it does it for me. other times I have to purchase all of the extractors.
My friend was on the fence about buying Sins, UNTIL he saw Strike Craft comming into their own when they increased the number per Cap/Carrier. Now that he has the game, even he says "too much". He loves fighters/bombers, but even when I build tons of flak frigs, it's not worth it. Only building tons of fighters of my own seems to even things out. I build lots of cobolts, but he just jumps out when they get near. If the Cap Carrier had what ANY cap carrier in an
I'm not sure I'll get SCII, but I have friends that can't wait; they say it's taking FOREVER; I would'nt know, cause I've not been keeping track of time with that game. I am looking forward to Diablo III, but, after playing WoW for 3 years, I'm wondering if anything Diablo III can do will impress anyone.
I did have an AI send in a Starbase constructor to my well once, it turned tail and jumped out when my fleet jumped in to stop it. So the AI WILL do it, but it ONLY does it if you have no defences at the planet at all. The moument I put a Hanger on the planet, and left with my fleet, he never tried that again.
Well, it's still Beta, so lots of this could be tweeked, , , , I hope, but right now, MP is where it's at for me. I've never had so much fun with Sins till I started MP Entrenchemth [e digicons]:D[/e]
Well, I think the 4-6-8 (or any variations there-of) is pretty good, hate to see it, and other great ideas dumped due to a date set in stone. Now I know why Blizzard refuses to put out release dates.
The labs just don't research the Techs, they makes all the special parts/devises that make them work too. We already know how to make computers, but if someone destroyes the computer labs around here, there's no parts comming to make more till you build another lab (or import from China [e digicons];)[/e] )
