Another Siddy. Peachy. I'll admit I was wrong. Of the Vasari Caps the Devastator is the one I have the least experience with. [quote]Green 75% weapon cooldown does NOT mean that the weapon cooldown is reduced by 75%[/quote] Not sure why I'm a moron for thinking that. I'm well aware of the use of (1/(1+X)) formula for most of the stuff in this game. I didn't think it applied here. As you've pointed out, it obviously does. Volatile Nanites is a battleball counter to me.

Or how about a government encroaching on the rights of the individual with a program of pervasive goverment surveilance and control. Hmm.....which is more of a concern. O, wait. That's right. Cheney's not Vice-President anymore.

Reply to Banning of advent in Strategy Sins Forums

Gotta be careful with what we ask for from starbases. Right now the vasari have an upgrade that can lower the construction time by 40%. It should be reworked so that when the Vasari invests in the upgrade they can construct as fast as they currently do in enemy grav wells BUT so that the construction rate is slow enough early on that it's a repellable rush tactic.

God I hate Fox News. Don't worry. I hate MSNBC too. News networks that have to give startling enough points to bring in ratings so they can make money off of ads. If you siphon through all of the news networks you can figure out the facts, but I prefer to use this thing called a newspaper.

Reply to Sins is dead? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Just once I'd like to hear an advent ship have a male voice that gets bitch slapped, and then is followed by "What were your orders?" Let's hope some of the suggested balances go into the up and coming diplomacy. I really hope the devs do some "copy" & "paste" from the work of the balance mods.

Reply to Nasty Nasty Trends in Strategy Sins Forums

Yeah. Cykur. You pretty much hit it on the nose, and while I look at it differently, we come to the same point. Personally, i see it like this. In 1.05 ( which is when I wrote this, I feel like singing "those were the days" when we think about 1.04 ), the Illum got massively buffed and it created problems. Fighters were too expensive to counter them, and even if a person had sufficient fighters, flak were so strong they eliminated that threat. Since th

I'm probably going to cover a few points that Cykur has already touched on, but I figured what the hell. Why not. If I don't mention the abilitiy, then I'm ok with what changes you put up there. Kol: I'm happy with Finest Hour, Flak Burst and the Shield. Flak burst is sufficient as stands, and the shield fits the "Never Gonna Die" mentality of the Kol. The GRG seems to be in huge debate here. TBH I'm hap

Actually, I disagree with the suggested fix with Scramble Bombers on the Antorak. I'll explain why. TEC have two anti-channelling abilities. Magnetize (ok, it's bugged a little, it doesn't stop an ability mid-use), and Ion Bolt. The Advent have two anti-channelling abilities too. Reverie on the Revelation and Antimatter bomb on the Radiance. Vasari at the moment has only 1. Phase Out Hull on the Marauder. I'd like Scramble bombers to be so

[quote who="Ascension" reply="34" id="2343023"]lol bro. if i see kok again im going to HC rush as vasari just to show him how stupid his rush is. [/quote] Actually, this is the 2nd best option and what I tend to do against HC rushers. If the enemy has even just a few fighters, the bombers don't last long. Especially if they bring flak.

Reply to How does culture work? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Can't say what it was with the culture without seein the game, but to answer your last bit: Phase Gates do that. It's a bug that's been in the game for a while. Phase gates won't pick up on their existence for a while. Why? Don't know, but that's the way it is.

To add to the lame jokes: I got really really confused when everyone started bringing up "Rage Quits". I was wondering what the hell people were getting at, cause I never quit a game unless: 1. My team is dead 2. I've legit lost Was damn confusing until I figured it out!

Calculated: Trade Ports vs. Refineries in Strategy Sins Forums

1 Tradeport (all fast) income is 1.6 cred/s. That's the default if it's just one ( I know, I know, they pay off quicker when in a trade line, but this is just a base start). For my calculations I'm going to use 2 cred/sec. That's about a 3-4 planet chain on all fast. I use 1 resource = 4.5 cred 750 cred + 100 metal + 125 crystal = 1762.5 cred 1762.5/2 = 881.25 sec or 14.7 minutes. That's the slowest i
