[quote who="Mecha-Lenin" reply="5" id="3166718"]Too slow, Dirty. You're getting old.[/quote] Reading this forum just isn't as compelling as it used to be now that I predict that Rebellion will be a flop for online multiplayer. Having a full-time job and less time for forums doesn't help matters much, either.
[quote who="esorah" reply="67" id="3166504"]I had an epic "comp stomp" experience today. I defeated the first of many titans with nothing more than 50 - 60 well trained Advent fighters. This was done on "hard". Later in the game after losing track of epic moments I finally took over the pirate base. Haters can keep hating but days like this are beautiful.[/quote] It's much more satisfying when you know that you did it against a human intelligence as opposed
[quote who="Mecha-Lenin" reply="2" id="3166321"]Well if Dirty Sanchez didn't advertise his map pack in this thread yet, then it means this forum is getting deserted. Devs, seriously, release that patch already, game is unplayable.[/quote] One solution would be to get my custom map pack, where there are many maps where allies start next to one another and away from the opposition. The pack uses an easy auto-install program that will put the maps in the right place for Rebelli
I used to think that playing only against AI and not human players was pretty pathetic, but this may be a new low!
An online multiplayer PvP game ("the real Sins game"), such as 3v3, 4v4, or 5v5 will take 1:15-1:45. That's because they are played with Quickstart on and all Faster speed settings. Also, you only have to play enough to defeat one player on the opposing side because players match up 1-to-1 against the opposition (as opposed to playing a single player FFA against 9 AI). Also, when the players on the losing team see the writing on the wall--once the outcome has been decide
I agree with the OP. The auto-pinning of SBs can be annoying. In fact, I'd like an option titled "no auto-pinning at all, period". If I want something pinned, I'll do it myself.
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="28" id="3161965"]Furthermore, their actions and track record demonstrate this...they sold impulse, which was by far their best way to make money.[/quote] Now hold on a second. It isn't as though they sold Impulse for one penny. In any financial transaction, the seller is not necessarily the party that receives less value than what the product is worth. We don't know how much money Impulse was sold for. What if it were sold
It is what it is. I like to say that when you play against the AI, you're opponent is mentally retarded and incapable of strategic thought. It's supposed to be a strategy game, so why would you want to play against an opponent that is incapable of strategy? I don't say this to be mean; I just call it like I see it. There have been some good points in this thread. It's important to remember that this game wa
[quote who="Cpt_Siddy" reply="11" id="3161171"]It is next to impossible to catch vasari caps if you have marauder. And sine you can save the lab costs while making cap ships and have exstra slots for any economy, you actualy get returns from investing in capital ships. Something no other race gets.[/quote] That is an excellent point. (Good to see you back, man!) With the upgrade that allows a cap to count as two civic and two military research labs, four capital ships = 16

[quote who="Vatticson" reply="1" id="3156766"]Another thing i think the multiplayer needs to fix: Reduced 52%Original 1087 x 794 There´s too much information there. i think it´s tiring to look if the game i selected has a password or if it has free avaliable slots for everyone or for friends only. I would replace those texts with color icons (like those game options where you select game speed and stuff), because i know all
The warning is that...the solar system is about to be assaulted by a fleet of HuyMacs!
Did they ever say they were going to implement a ladder and/or matchmaking system?
[quote who="GoldenLegion" reply="2" id="3152998"]On this topic, it would be cool to have some more clans on ICO, to have some clan matches.[/quote] I'm all for that, but in order to have clan matches you need to have clans, and in order to have clans you need to have more than 30 people logged on at any one time who play against human opponents. Until this game hosts hundreds of people at any one time and until a large percentage of them play PvP, there won't be mu
For people who already own the Diplomacy expansion, I still think $30 is a little steep. IMHO, the primary reason for purchasing Rebellion is online multiplayer PvP. Most of the PvP action ("the real Sins game") has moved to Rebellion and hopefully hundreds of people will play it in online multiplayer at any given time once the game has been officially released. Otherwise, if I only played it in single player against the silly AI, I'd probably just enjoy the numerous mod
Clan GE?
The reason why you guys haven't seen much of me online lately is because I figured out how to smurf! Just kidding, just kidding. Two weeks ago I started a new full-time job and it's really cut into my gaming time.
[quote who="ZJBDragon" reply="15" id="3150199"]Upon playing the beta I realized it was nearly the same game as Trinity.[/quote] Basically, it's Diplomacy with the addition of Titans, Corvettes, and new victory conditions. If you already own Trinity, the primary reason for purchasing it is online multiplayer PvP ("the real Sins game"). Presumably, most if not almost all of the PvP action will migrate to Rebellion and hopefully hundreds of people will be playing it onlin
It sounds like someone hunted down one of your caps with corvettes across several gravity wells and killed it! It's happened to me too and I've had the same exact thoughts. However, at least now the corvettes aren't as good of a purchase as they were before.
[quote who="esorah" reply="12" id="3145421"]@ DirtySanchezz - You're the troll that I was making a passive mention of. By the way, your name suits your personality.[/quote] I'm really not a troll. I just try to encourage people to play Sins in online multiplayer PvP and I call it like I see it. As I see it, anyone who only plays against the AI is in all likelihood a "noob" in terms of skill level. That doesn't mean that they are bad people; there
[quote who="CilverBUG™" reply="18" id="3143894"]where did you say the .ini file was located at and also what program do i use to open it, note pad?[/quote] Yeah, you can open .ini's with notepad or wordpad; they're just text files with settings variables. Sometimes you want to make changes to a game's settings when you don't have the ability to adjust them from within the game.
I played the Advent Rebels last night and noticed two bugs on the Halcyon. (1.) Telekinetic Push did not seem to do anything. (2.) The level 6 ability works for the first upgrade but seems to reduce the number of fighters in a squadron for the second upgrade. I apologize in advance if this is old news.

Ummm... If you only play against AI, then by definition, you're essentially a noob. I don't mean to be an ass, I'm just trying to clarify. Maybe a small percentage of the AI-only players would have average skill level for PvP, and that's a big maybe.
