Truth be told that's not the most elegant response I've ever given to someone, and I'm sorry Sid. I'll move you up. DT has changed since it formed. It's not all members, and it's not just Siddy. This has been brewing for a while, and though I overreacted a bit there, I'm still leaving DT. This isn't a group I belong with. Tantrum over. I'm over it. I've realized I enjoy the game a bit too much, even after a rough patch. I've previously posted about the V

My favorite thing about the airlines is they'll make you pay for two seats, but they're not beside each other.

This game's becoming a headache. To DT, I'm out. I'll be back, but when I'm back, I won't be a DT. I won't be in any clan. Whip, Tyr, How, Cykur, Gini, P5yy, thanks for all the games over the past year and 4 months. We'll play again in the future, but I doubt it'll be with [DT]Raging Amish. Sid. I don't know what possesses ur mind to say what you say. I'll never understand it, but I hope that one day you learn to greet and talk to people with some civility. Sid. I know kind wo

Reply to 25 enforcers vs 30 destra or kodiaks? (updated 7/01/09) replays added in Strategy Sins Forums

The DPS could use a boost. I think the big thing is to move the wave damage bonuses down some tiers. Why are these level 4,5, and 7 respectively? This makes no sense at all. Level 7 upgrades are ungodly expensive, and at best would be used on a 100 enforcer composed fleet. You ever had that? Neither have I. Upgrade seriously needs to move down to 2, 4, 5, respectively like the others.

Oh, and to everyone who's been posting, I'll be getting on it. Just beware that it'll be slow going. I can't play with everyone in one night, and I only play 0-3 games a night on weekdays.

All I ask is to be patient. You see my Unit guide? That took me (with my 7 month Hiatus removed) five months of slow going to churn it out. I did it in bursts, cause it got kinda gruelling at points. I think I finished purely because I couldn't stand leaving it half done. I think I'll be doing the same here. Post a few names as I get more familiar with them, then give a little diddle about what I noticed. Sooner/More you play with me, sooner I'll put you up here.

Very true. I just kinda enjoy writing this kind of stuff. You saw the Unit Guide. This is just the kind of stuff I like doin. Kills time and keeps the gears in my brain turning.

Reply to Tactical Turrets Worth It? in Single Player Sins Forums

If a vasari turret has the said ability and shoots an enemy ship, that ship won't regenerate health on its own for a looooong time. Ships naturally regenerate health/shields slowly, like 1 hps and 1 sps. This ability takes that away. The ship will have to be sent to a repair bay if it's to be healed anytime soon.

I've long had an issue with making a fleet of flak. It destroys scouts and long range frigates yes. Basically by being so though that neither has a prayer of beating it. My issue is that you can only aim the front guns. Flak actually do well against Illums because they have "side beams" too, or on flak, ass cannons. The Vasari flak fires in two ways. In the front, and in the back. The two in the front are linked. The two in teh back are linked. You can only aim the front, so close pro

Not to steal a Robin Williams bit, but Kieth Richards. He's been on this planet so long and he's still alive. He's done enough drugs to make the Osbournes look Amish. He'll be there at the end of the world, sitting with 6 cockroaches who survived the nuclear apocolypse. He'll just look at one of them and go "You know I snorted one of your uncles, did you know that?"

[IDEA] 1 Star Per Player Random Maps in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I hope a DEV reads this. I just had a bit of an epiphone. Make a random mape mode where each person is going to get their own star. Say, 8-10 planets around each star, and 1 of those planets is a pirate base, so really 7-9. Devs, you can pick the number. Personally I say 8. No black holes. None. Ok. Maybe get a set up for having one black hole per system, and all of these black holes go off into another "system" where you can go from one system to another via black hole.

It's a bit tough to categorize Tier 2 and Tier 3. These are all solid players. Guys on tier 2 have done something to impress me consistently. Guys on tier 3, it's a little more cloudy. I doubt I'm justified in putting all of the guys who I say are tier 3 there, but I think I'm pretty close. I think the best I'm going to get to "categorizing" accurately is probably within 1 tier. Besides. I'm going to write reviews explaining why I think they fall there. I have no problem being correct

Once you have less than 40% of the map, you're done. You're out eco-ed at that point. That's the point where the game is decided.

Reply to Tactical Turrets Worth It? in Single Player Sins Forums

The devs gave the turrets some decent abilities in entrenchment. The vasari turret stops passive hull reintegration. The TEC cannon gets missiles at tier 4, and it's actually a nasty ability if in numbers of 10+. The advent get the most unique one. If you cluster turrets together, they do more damage based on how clustered and close to others they are. Except for starbases, it's hard for me to argue that defenses can stand alone. There are upgrades for the defenses now, so these can s

Reply to Request [Rebalance of units] in Strategy Sins Forums

I say yes and no here. You proved the enforcer is weak, but the enforcer has reintegration. Perhaps the fix here is to lower the time it takes for the Enforcer to heal itself (From 720 health over 40 sec to say 720 health over 10). It's tough to balance the enfrocer because it's the only HC with a healing ability. The devs did that intentionally. The skirmisher and enforcer are each a little weaker in the grand scheme of things because they get to heal mid battle. I will say t

Lol. You saw Krath do the scout rushing? Man, I'm not surprised. I wonder where he learned it from. ;) Anyday man. Any day. The quicker a "newb" gets, the better, cause that means there's one more player out there who I'll have on my team anyday of the week. You're a bit inexperienced, but you're actually listening to the vets out there, so you're leaps and bounds ahead of where I was with the amount of time you've played. You're still new, but definitely no newb. You've never been a

I think you saw some strange deformed version of a desync. If you did this online then that's definitely what happened. Essentially, at some point, you might've had a brief "jump" or "freeze" of the screen, perhaps for less than a second, that essentially took the same game that you were both playing and separated them into two. You saw one version. Your wife saw the other. Your wife saw your starbases die because I don't think her game was picking up on your orders. It sounds like sh
