If Sins 2 releases someday with 64-bit programming and support for quad cores and the like, maybe then you'll see an expansive 'galaxy'.

It's definitely good at nuking militia. Every 12 seconds you basically cast Doom against another frigate, until antimatter goes down. And, working with a pack of Assailants with one point in the Gravity Warhead, you can guarantee a cap ship kill if you have a superior force. The problem with the Egg is that it is a slow and easy target without a good way to repair itself. The Akkan will be towing Hoshikos with it, while the Mothership will simply use Shield Regener

Yeah, Vasari have the worst trade set up time, and hangars suck as lone defense structures. Repair Bays are the smarter defense structure, along with some defending fleet. Your early moves should be Skirantras, Assailants, and then Sentinels. The Egg might work with small 1v1 against the Advent, but otherwise it will die before too long against the Vasari or the TEC. Try to get extra scouting done early to capture neutrals and look for likely chokepoints/areas of confl

Kostura Cannons shut down starbases for all of 3 seconds, compared to the 3 minute shutdown for tactical structures.

Some sort of 'slide by object' routine called during a collision would be nice, instead of the 'drop dead in the space water' mechanic in place now. And yeah, they aren't changing wide curve maneuvers. I'm guessing the devs see it as the effect of gravity and all that. IIRC, ships are supposed to move a bit slower when going away from a planet. Or at least that was their stated intention at one point.

https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/405991/page/2/#2900238 That was my own early thinking on the matter. I really hope the Vasari idea gets implemented in particular. It would create some great tactical opportunities, and would work quite well with the Kostura Cannon as well.

Well, turning pirates off certainly kills karmic retribution right there. Other skills are either situational, or could use some tweaking. Insurgency is one of those situational skills, and is more oriented toward vs AI play to stop their haphazard expansion on huge maps. The fleet capacity would need to be something much higher to bother players who focus on p

I'll double-check, I have a recorded game or two I can peek at with some Kol/Dunov interaction.

Reply to Some begginer questions ? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The ability for the Novalith reads 100%, but each 100% cuts ability usage in half. So, for example, the Dunov's Flux Field reads Antimatter Cost 300%. This really means abilities will cost 12.5% of their normal cost. So if we use the Kol's Flak Burst as an example. Instead of 100 antimatter, it will cost 13 antimatter. As for the Kostura Cannon, maybe it is affected by armor points?

You can move a ship away and trigger a repair before the damage is applied and it will very possibly survive. I.e. ships stop firing at the target, marking it as 'dead', but it repairs hullpoints first and ends up alive with the ships targeting something else.

I could go for the phase jump thing if it was only triggered on enemy capital ships in range trying to jump away, maybe carriers too. But I certainly wouldn't want to see it stopping a Cobalt or something like that. The cost in antimatter is too expensive to use on cheap ships. The level 6 abilities are not set to auto-cast at all unless you tell them to. But the option should still be there for those that want it. And

A Random Huge Multi map with a 10 way FFA is pretty much a galaxy. Or as close to one as you're going to get. It would likely take 30 hours to conquer such a map, especially if you're playing against Unfair AI. My thought though is that he's referring to stringing dozens of the Random Huge Multi maps together into one mega map. One that would take 1,000 hours to completely conquer.

Or just have more militia colonies, which fortify their own planet. You can set militia colony likelihood for custom maps, but they don't generate their own forces beyond what is initially set. Imagine if they did? Now you have microfactions spread out across the galaxy. So you come to a terran planet and it might have 25 tactical structures along with 125 fleet supply worth of ships. And, if you left without killing them, they'd construct more. Tha

The deliverance engine has multiple applications, rather than one established purpose.

Other than strikecraft, it makes sense that large ships with high mass aren't zipping about. Sins might be small at the gravity well scale for the sake of gameplay, but it takes time to overcome inertia for ships that size. Also, it would screw the Advent a bit since they have to aim their lasers while the TEC and Vasari could spam missiles with their own tracking. You just have to kind of roll with the gameplay.
