Reply to Patch Download? in Technical Sins Forums

One little issue with that - Impulse patches the missing files to get to the required version - so that torrent site by definition cannot have a patch - you would need a full copy the game to ensure all files. I suggest that the mods ban conte for promoting the piracy of Sins.

There is something that people need to remember here. The players asking for the surrender are better then the AIs that NEWT had supporting him. So they would win that part of the battle. And I don't know of any player (DT guys included) that can take two or three good players by themselves. 2v3 or 4v6 etc... maybe, since double teamed player(s) only has to hold out while the other one win a 1v1 enough to lend some support. But 1 human + 2 AI vs 3 humans when the 3 are some of the better play

You do get exp when bombing a planet - I checked on my egg as it was bombing (well, since it was vassari, actually lasering - I wanted to get it to Lvl 6 for suck :) ). Anyway, with no other objects in the system, its exp was increasing slightly over time. So unless I missed my fighters killing trade ships I didn't notice, there was some exp from the planet bombing....

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Walkthru in PC Gaming Sins Forums

One thing that new played need to understand is that when they colonise a new plant, that planet has negative income. A roid needs one upgrade and everything else needs two to remove this negative income and allow it to go positive. Different planet types have a different number of upgrade, thereby limiting the max population and therefore the income from tax. Why do I mention this - because I see a some new players coming online and wondering why they are getting worked so hard. They

[quote]In a large game, you should expand quickly, than fortify everything you have captured and then develop your economy[/quote]FYI - Fortifying only works in MP if the planet is a choke point and is hard to go around. Also, turrets are generally useless in 1.05/1.11 as you can go around their area of effect. You need hangers since the fighters/bombers can go anywhere in the grav well. Also, repair bays are important to keep said hangers and other structures (e.g. frig factories) from going

I built carriers a fair bit in 1.05!!! [quote]Problem with a huge carrier fighter fleet against huge bomber fleet is, the bombers can kill the carriers before they get destroyed by fighters, so if the fleet with bombers can destroy a few carriers of the fighter fleet, then you start seeing a tip in the bombers favor because then the bomber carriers can rebuild their squadron and slowly take out the rest of the fighter carriers. Even if the bombers are completly annilated when rebuit,

[quote]After reading this thread I'm convinced capital ships need to give more XP when destroyed and non-combat ships shouldn't hand out any XP at all.[/quote] Why should a Lvl 1 cap give out more? A Lvl 10 gives out a HUGE amount of experience when it goes BOOM. It is proportional to how hard it is to kill. Non-combat give out very little. I find is surprising Cpt_Siddy can afford to leave one like that without needing it for so long, or that no one noticed it ever...
