None of us enjoy stomping some n00b we want to play good players and get better, for this to be any fun it helps A LOT if there's balance and variety rather than us being forced to play a single tactic if we want to win.

[quote]I know many carebears (e.g those who shun competetive MP because they hate losing ) have no capacity to understand it. So I am not preaching to them. I am preaching to devs - in MP RTS games balance and dynamics is everything. You guys are really close to make spectacular failure out of SoaSe and makes people really stay away from your games in future. Look at MP RTS games which are synonyms of success -Starcraft, Dawn of War etc. They are what they are because developers un

The world was built on knee-jerk reactions. That's why, in general, the world sucks. And if you say, "Sim City" one more time, I'm going to puke. I think someone should've stuck with RTS games.

I've got a groovy (for me) undocumented change to report! Although I was running all of my visual settings on "Highest" before the patch, now that I've patched, all of my textures are higher resolution than they were before! It took me quite some time to decide I wasn't just going nuts and imagining it, but there are words and numbers on things that were never there before, and even some slightly bad things, like texture misalignment at seams on asteroids. I'm not comp

[quote]Flaks targeting incoming missiles is a stupid and imbalancing idea. TEC Missile weapons are used not only by LRMs, but also by Marzas, Dunovs, and Bombers, and in case of Vasari Phase Missiles, they are used not only by Assailants but also by Sentinels(flaks), Fighters, Bombers, Defense Platforms, Devastators, Desolators, Marauders, and Skirantra Carriers.

Scouts make pretty good cannon fodder/anti LRM units, en-masse, but I'm not going to hijack this thread with that conversation. I played around with cloaking yesterday, and it didn't seem all that useful to me, either. I never play Vasari, though, so I'll let someone else give you a valid opinion.

Reply to Cinematic toggle error in Technical Sins Forums

If you exit the game with cinematic mode on, when you start the program again, it seems to forget the settings and think that's the way it should look all the time. To fix it, go to your user interface options, and turn everything back on. It's a bit annoying, isn't it? Remember to turn cinematic mode off before you quit, and I don't [I]think [/I]it'll happen.

There isn't a Sins demo yet. They're working on a nice patch, (much more important, at least for those of us that already own the game) and then they will be releasing a demo. If it helps, Sins of a Solar Empire has a MUCH cooler name. ^_^

Reply to Unfair AI in Strategy Sins Forums

In case it hasn't been made clear enough already, all those planets are NOT occupied by your enemies. The did NOT make "all those ships". The ships you're seeing are just local garrisons. If your real enemies want to colonized that planet, they have to fight the locals just the same as you do. It's 100% fair and even. When you're first starting out, try colonizing asteroids before planets. The local defenses will be a lot less. (And don't forget to build that

Reply to Pirates: What the frick? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

So CAN pirates make actual interstellar jumps? Imagine a three-star system, including star A, B, and C. There is only a pirate base circling star A. If a pirate raid is called against an empire that only has colonized planets around stars B and C, where there are no pirate bases, will the pirates jump between stars to harass them? Is a pirate fleet even spawned in that instance?

Reply to Hold Position problems in Technical Sins Forums

Move orders and attack orders are entirely separate. You'll notice that even if you allow your fleets to attack whatever they want, when the gravity well is clear of enemies, they'll return to the exact point they jumped in to the system, because this was the target of the last move order given. Moving to attack something isn't actually a move order, and so they'll always return to the last point they were ordered to move to. Is this convenient? Maybe not, but it's goo

Reply to Can't pan in two directions in Technical Sins Forums

I've had this same problem, intermittently and seemingly at random. It starts and stops during a game, and I've never noticed anything that definitely caused it. It seems to happen often when I'm looking at a ship that phase jumps, and I break the camera lock on it, but that might just be my imagination. It's pretty annoying when it happens, though, isn't it?
