Reply to Choke Point: Hanger-VS-Turret-VS-Other, how do YOU defend. in Strategy Sins Forums

Build a huge fleet, then build jump inhibitors. I find this is the best defense. Do not build hangers. Instead, build a few turrets around the jump inhibitors (1 or 2). These punish your opponent for wasting his time destroying one before you decimate his fleet anyway with your awesome superior firepower.

What is EVOLUTION, anyway? in Everything Else Sins Forums

Evolution can be defined as a change in alleic frequencies within a population over time. Thus, considering a small population of 100 sins players, we have two alleles, A and a . The allele A codes for a phenotype, something you can observe, and so does allele a. Since humans, like sins players, are diploid, meaning they have 2 of each chromosome, humans can have two alleles for a particular tra

[quote]Plus, in order for evolution to NOT occur, you need a population with identical genetics, no crossing over, entirely random mating, and absolutely no environmental pressures.

Reply to Expelled: Is Intelligent Design a Science? in Everything Else Sins Forums

I am a biology student. I do not see why Intelligent Design should not be taught in schools. It is a wonderful theory when explained correctly. The theory of intelligent design states that everything around you is the way it is because some cosmic power wanted it to be that way. We cetainly cannot disprove it, and leaving a lot of religous assumptions out of the picture, the theory gains some credence. I have studied evolution, and I can tell you that evolution and the

But as it is you need either a cap ship or a seige frigate. I know seige frigates are very limited, but they serve a purp

I see that your argument was that your illuminators just killed everything super fast anyway, so why bother? The answer is that they disable enemy heavy cruisers and heal your own. They are not really meant to be paired with huge illuminator fleets.

... on the other hand, you can expect 60 fighter squadrons to take out multiple bomber squadrons in a single run. An interesting point is that the flak will fare much better against the fighters.

Reply to Seige frigates are mighty! in Strategy Sins Forums

Seige frigates are great for putting pressure on the enemy. Send one and a couple support ships to maybe 3 planets at once. The enemy fleet will have to suffer losses while fighting you. Also, they are great for cleaning up enemies who you have beaten down. Why should I build all seige caps when I could build ones that live longer or serve a purpose more useful to me?

Reply to Build all your ships before you start to upgrade them. in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]You also forgot that due to the mitigation system, 5% more health is not really 5% more health. In a typical ship fight, a ship must take a certain amount of damage (450 instant) to achieve max mitigation. Only after that initial hit, does the ship take minimal damage. While I don't have the exact math, that means a ship with 600 health can actually be around twice as tough as a ship with 400 health. When you're dealing with low health ships (especially the disciple), that little bit of e

[quote]Actually, bomber DpS/supply ratio vs target armour (in this case very heavy) is the worst DpS/supply ratio vs. target armour. of any combat unit in the game, by a fairly heavy margin. Using bombers at all is pretty much just not a good idea. You're more or less always better off building LRMs or more HCs. Bombers are occasionally cool for guerrilla hits on enemy infrastructure (since all orbital platforms are 'very-heavy' targets and the cruisers can just hang out on the edge of the grav
