[quote who="Caydr" reply="7" id="2047697"]Game's definitely not ready for primetime yet. Eventually they need to stop making excuses though...

Reply to Starbases - economically viable? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I don't think Starbases in Sins are meant to be like a GalCiv 2 economic starbase. They're still primarily defensive structures, that can be upgraded to trade some defensive firepower in exchange for some economic help. Just IMO of course. Extending the trade network is a nice bonus, but I don't think its the point of the Starbase.

Reply to Beta 2 Slower than Beta 1? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Most things seem the same to me. Starbases got slower in neutral territory, and much slower in hostile territory. Maybe that's what your noticing. I actually think its too slow for the Vasari, since their anti structure ship is also their Starbase, and it takes an eternity to get one going now.

Reply to About the multiple banks multiple targeting system... in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Annatar's right. What you're suggesting is the ship have one bank that does 3 or 4 times more damage. :) The bank change can make starbases (and caps that use it) strong againts bigger fleets of little ships. It's not meant to make one ship that can blow away another capital ship in ten seconds.

I'm pretty sure having it only damage shields is a bug.

I believe one of the devs posted that only TEC AI is using mines right now, deliberately until they get the mine detection code better tested.

I don't know if its related, but a friend of mine recently had to roll back his Nvidia drivers due to issues in the current ones.

Optimizing for multi-core requires rewriting large sections of the core of the game. It's not very likely at this point, because it's not easy and prone to break almost everything.

That'd explain why Impulse couldn't log in either. Everything seems to be up again now.

[quote who="VRaptor117" reply="9" id="2039112"]So, I can build mines in any grav well that I've scouted, including enemy wells? Could you please explain this a bit more? [/quote] You have a limit of 150 mines per gravity well. Every other player has the same limit. So yes, you can put 150 mines in every gravity well that you can find, if you wanted to. So can everybody else. But what we won't see anymore is 3600 mines from one pl

Yeah, to actually use the "fleet" mechanisms you want to select a bunch of ships and go into the orders, and hit "create fleet". You can actually do it with a single ship and set your production rally point to that ship, and most new ships you make will auto join the fleet. Fleets can also be pinned to the empire tree (I think it's off by default, but its in the settings menu).

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="16" id="2038362"]It sounds like each target will receive 100% of the bank's damage output (ie, if the starbase beam does 100 damage and can fire at 3 targets, each target will receive 100 damage, rather than 33). But this is just my understanding, we'll probably have to wait for the beta update to see for ourselves. Edit: On the other hand, mention of unused targeting capacity makes it sound otherwise.. so now I'm confused as well. Thanks a lot!

Reply to Entrenchment Update in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

That change has major potential. Obviously it'll be a big Starbase boost, but if they set it so that Cap Ships can also engage multiple targets like that, it could change the game considerably.

Reply to Irritated. You perhaps shouldn't really 'sell' a dodgy beta test... in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

My objection to the release date problem isn't that they're moving the date. I agree, a quality release later is better then a poor release now. But the difference between Starcraft 2 and Entrenchment is that Starcraft 2 never had a date. Entrenchment has had several, and they were all wrong. I mean right now "next week" is showing up on the front page of this site, and that's probably wrong too. That's the motivation for my suggestion above to ha

Now they're quoting an IGN preview and IGN may have the date wrong, but if that's the case it shouldn't be posted here either. It looks pretty official when it's on the official site.

"I'm quitting" usually means "I'm not playing Entrenchment until a new version comes out". Thats where I am right now. Every game ends the same way in this version: a slideshow with zillions of mines choking everything up.
