When you join a 5v5 tell them you are new. Ask questions. Watch replays. Host a game. Smaller games like 3v3 will attract newer players. Most vets play 5v5.

[quote who="EmpReb" reply="30" id="3071658"]This^. I am afraid that Caps will still not be that viable. I want caps to be strong but Sins online so far has not favored Capital ships at all. Their cost per damage is just still too great. If that fixed some how capital ships would come viable IMO.[/quote] Problem with making more powerful caps is you will have guys like me use 3 to 5 of them to take out another person

The only way I have found is to disassemble the fleet and then reassemble it making sure the first ship I select is the one I want to be the leader.Select fleet, tab to the thing you want to be the leader, click "create fleet". No need to disassemble the fleet. Thank you!

Reply to Best general situation capitol ship spread? in Strategy Sins Forums

There is a trend to use the akkan for its ion bolt in order to take out other capital ships. Ion level 2 is enough to prevent a cap ship from jumping out provided the akkan has enough antimatter. Another is the egg as a second cap.

Try turning off hyper threading if you know how. Games that are not multi thread will benefit from turning off hyper threading.

Reply to Game speed is much faster in the first minute of MP games than it should be in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

There was a patch over a year ago which introduced faster gaming speeds for the first 15 mins on ICO using Alloy. You can always queue instructions before a game starts in ico if your computer loaded the game faster then the other person. If everyone's computer in the game are fast, or played a previous game before yours meaning the game has been loaded to memory already, then you dont get the build queue time and the game starts immediately.

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="19" id="2923080"]We're investigating this actively. By default Alloy is turned on in the Multiplayer Options, can you try turning it off to see what performance is like? You may have to set your router to open up port 6112 for TCP/UDP.[/quote] having Alloy off not only slows the game down because having alloy on increases game speed, but if the host loses or leaves the game will usually end.
