Welcome! Given your attitude, you are well on the path already. You are much more inclined to get help if your seen as someone that can appreciate it. Looks like that's the case, since several top notch players are already willing to coach. Of late (post Diplo), there has been a more coherent community-wide effort to retain and develop a stronger player base. At least by in large so as not alienate, or ostracize newcomers. Ruby and others have taken up th

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="35" id="3286938"]I haven't played Homeworld 2, but if its anything like other Homeworld games you have much fewer ships flying around. Sins engine is good, but its meant to have as many things in the game as possible. And for that you need to make some sacrifices, from fighters not having shields to static turrets. And I'm totally happy with that trade off. From the screenshots I've seen I don't think HW2 looks that good compared to Sins, at least

Admittedly, there is a philosophical point to whether you would engage in such monumental clashes just to see how it all shakes out, or accept the reality that those types of conflicts would almost never happen in a purely Multiplayer contest. Primarily because no successful scenarios exist where non-aggression by opponents, allowing the build up massive armada type fleets, leads to anything but 4 hour type games. This is not the desire of Multiplayer since the entire premise of h

What is happening is the Advent are really a lesbian race, and their culture weapon is known as the Gay Ray. Once it hits, there is a chance-to-cruise roll that determines the strength of the effect. All across the affected planet, a coming out phenomenon spreads and results in a gay pride movement at varying speeds.

Reply to Will there be a Sins 2? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Yes, SoSE is inevitable imo. In SoSE "2", we need to see the Z axis integrated into the scheme of tactical deployment. This single aspect could introduce an entire new dimension (pardon the pun) to the game dynamics, especially in the following manners: The Z axis would really come into play in larger grav-wells, say "super grav-wells" at strategic choke points. These super-wells could be the size of a star, and incorporate 2 or 3 collapsing spherical "boundaries"

Reply to SINS MP - Societal Standards in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Been getting a lot of feedback as to multiplayers not contributing because they don't want to "give out their secrets". I think this attitude is contrary to any true competitive players desire for better games. By embracing the less-skilled, and helping players improve, we will automatically expand and elevate the quality of gamesmanship, and the community as a whole. This undoubtedly is the single most important aspect of any game community, but it is one that S
