[quote who="Bartowski" reply="13" id="3464096"] You ever played the tribes series, dirty? Better than Unreal Tournament in every single way.[/quote] I looked into Tribes 2 somewhat in its twilight but could never get into that game. I'm not much of a hitscan type of shooter and it was just too hard to kill anyone. I guess I didn't fully understand the movement either. In my opinion an organized UT99 5-on-5 capture-the-flag match where people hav

[quote quoting="post"]Alright, time to make my own clan after so many years here.[/quote] What for? What is having a "clan" going to do for you when there aren't any other clans to play against? This game has never had a real clan scene and we often struggle to launch single 5s games. Here's what a real clan scene should look like. This is what it looked like in the dying days*** of UT99

[quote who="Sinkillr" reply="1" id="3454531"] Good list, but keep on dreaming if you think any of this is going to be implemented. They cant even get an in-game clock, lmao.[/quote] LOL. They cannot even change the amount of feed on the feed buttons! I introduced the idea of PUGging to the Sins community way back in 2008. The devs may not even be aware that there is such a thing or a need for a built-in pug system. Maybe they'll invest some effort o

As a general rule, the AI in this game is retarded compared to what a human opponent can do (which is why I have difficulty understanding why so many people are content to just playing the AI). As a practical matter, here's what happens: When a player on your team drops, you evaluate your situation. Was he a top player, a good player, an average player, a mediocre player, or a noob? Is your team currently winning or losing? What position was he playing? Losin

Diplomacy in its final patch was the most balanced version of Sins. IMHO, it was the pinnacle of Sins for competitive play.

Welcome! What Ekko Tek said. It sounds like you're ready to move up. As a general rule, if you're experienced playing other RTS games in online PvP, you should be able to pick this up pretty quickly and you'll do just fine. Here's a link to Grimm's excellent guide: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=161168470#-1 The Raging Amish unit guide is getting outdated, but it's worth a read, too: <a title

[quote who="Ohoh2" reply="7" id="3424129"] The Radiance is by far more efficient in this field than any other capital ship because DA's AM cost is low, the cool-down is low and absorptive armour converts damage to AM reserves.

10 v 10, maybe. Maybe that would be playable. I really can't see much more than 7v7 being practical. Can you imagine picking teams with 20 players? One is guaranteed to be AFK and then of course, someone is going to minidump when the game loads. Then they'll always be someone on the losing team who will drag it out for another 3 hours.

It would be really silly not to produce a Sins-2. Most of the concept work is already done. They just need to add another race and maybe one more capital ship type per race and then they can justify producing the same content on a new engine. Hopefully they would make an improved online multiplayer interface and allow for 7-v-7 games.
