[quote]It strikes me as strange that in a game that is so incredibly easy to mod, and provides both an auto record/playback feature and an endless list of graphs at the end of the match, that the discussion is still revolving around vague references to 'math' and 'I'll fight ye!' chestbeating. If you have:a) notepadb) a second PC and/or someone willing to test a modification out with you on ICOWould you care to explain why you are wasting your time trying to lobby the developers for a change to

Okay so it was the devs fault for listening to the whiny babies. But without the whiny babies I gaurantee it wouldn't have been changed was the point. People need to take some responsibility for themselves and not just blame the devs alone. I respect the devs and what they've done - up to this patch. For different reasons. But that's my stance. It's still a great game, but to many of us, this patch was a step backwards except for the AI (Though the save game AI and player controlling the same te

I'm just angry at the amount of crying about something that isn't imbalanced. I'm not angry at one person in general. The amount of misinformation flying around is crazy. Flak will beat LRMs in a cost effective scenario. And as far as my "e-peen" I don't care what someone thinks of me. But the whole lrm thing just irritates me to no end. And I haven't used IRC in like 10 years. Maybe if I get it working again I will. And I don't like the idea of handicapping myself for a challe

I'm not embarressed or bothered at all by this thread, what people think of others on an internet forum? Pointless. I'm very different in real life, and so are most of you. But as far as here goes. I play other games with people that if I was with in real life, I would probably start a fight with them - but I respect their knowledge and skill to the point where regardless of how much we might bicker argue and disagree. We work together. Because we realize that for everyone involved including our

For all you whiny little babies that think LRMs are overpowered and will cause more damage than their cost against flak and buildings. play me 1v1 and lets test our your solid mathcraft and theorycraft. Lets see how your on paper experience goes against my in game experience. I've got over 150 games on all my accounts to back up my side of this argument. How about you? Little pissants probably won't even accept the challenge. 12 pm est after that I can play, not sure how long I'll be up

[quote]Illums can be good, in close range, the LRM missles spin around your ship a few times before finally getting hit, while illums can get close and the three guns (front and one on each side) will definetly hit. So bring your illums in close range to the LRMs. try something like that, make your illums fly over the LRMs and the back again, they will spend all there time turning around while your side guns take them out.Illuminators only deal 75% damage to other LRMs, they are less cost effici

[quote]After playing Sins for a solid few days on patch 1.03, I feel finally able to judge some of the implications of the patch. The unit balance kicks big butts! Well I'm not American or even African American so that probably is the wrong phrase lol. Suffice to say, the there are no real cheese units that I can find and everything seems to have a counter (unit wise). That isn't to say some units still aren't great (or better) but everything seems to have its place. I even use the siege frigate

Can anyone whose played GalCiv imagine GalCiv without the starbases now? But the people who suggested starbases didn't start out by saying "This game sucks, only adding starbases will save it."Rock on. Now starbases are not only an integral feature of the game, with the famous 24 Military Starbase Array being some kind of achiev

Double post, go forums. Not sure how that even happened, two versions of one post. And uh, the biggest point is balance was -better- in the last patch, a step backwards in balance is a very, very bad thing. And it does alienate a lot of us when we're blatantly ignored and this stuff actually goes live.

[quote]Nobody is suggesting that it should: simply that players like that look at the stats and optimise more than friendly games or single player, and they will find the problems first. That's important for multiplayer, simply because once found, they're easily communicated, and now the small flaws in the unit balance mean 80% of all games play the same way, x faction is never used, y unit is never used, etc. We agree. The problem is that it's hard for us to seperate the signal and the noi

I don't know how many times in how many different ways we can say that we look at the posts, play through the game, and make recommendations on balancing changes based on player feedback? But at the same time, I don't agree that elite level multiplayer issues are going to take precedence over, for instance, improving the computer AI or getting AI players to replace dropped players or making it easier to join multiplayer ga
