Reply to Please, just drop Alloy from v1.13 in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Don't get my post wrong I LOVE ALLOY. It allows anybody and their mother to host and theoretically increase the MP community. However, as Monk said, there is a reason routers exist and I suspect MANY of the problems experienced since the release of beta v1.1 (aka v1.09) are attributed to Alloy bypassing standard traffic protocols. From my v1.05 experience (and even now in v1.12 w/ Entrenchment), there were a ton of people able to host and it never took long for someone to

[quote]Clearly you don't remember the early days of Sins where, mid-way through the game, you'd have 20-30 or more techs and logistic levels queued up and have to wait forever to max out the trees.[/quote] Ahh...the need for proper planning.

Ok, Siddy is somewhat on the crazy side. Just ignore him. OT, can you PM me what he said? Oh, and thank you for deleting most of the junk in your orginial post. It is much more bareable now without all the "incoming communications."

Merge the Defense and Military Tech-Trees in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I like the new defense techs, but the new tree is not needed. Let's face it, defense is the same as military. So just put them both under the military tree and be done with it. Besides, having 2 tech trees messes with my pavlov's dog mouse clicks. The ONLY benefit that I see from the 2 tech trees is that your can research both military and defense at the same time, but I am willing to give that up for a more understandable tech tree.

Please, just drop Alloy from v1.13 in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I know there are a lot of people who love the ability that Alloy gives them to host a game (heck, I'm one of them). But honestly, I think Alloy is the reason for all of the bugs since v1.1 came out and the reason ICO seems to go whacky all the time. I think Alloy is a great idea, and perhaps will one day be great, but I vote for getting the MP community back with the good old stable host setup and then, once all the Alloy bugs are fixed, bring back Alloy (and under a new n

Reply to how to fix mines in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Completely agree. I just played TEC and felt they got the shaft with the mines. I also think that if a scout is there, the vulnerable time should be longer for mines. Right now, it's so short that most units (including strikecraft) don't target them because the phase in and out so much.

Reply to Mini dump Entrenchment (fixed) in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Perhaps the code should be modified so that it won't let you select settings that will cause your system to crash? BTW, I have a HD 4650 and I run this thing at max settings without issues.

[BALANCE] Entrentment Feedback in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Starbases are not OFFENSIVE enough. They have enough hull points, but they don't do enough damage, even when upgraded. They should also have things like flak and culture upgrades. All starbases should move as well. Vasari starbases make EXCELLENT minesweepers with fully upgraded hull points. Mines are OVERPOWERED. They should not flicker between invulnerable and vulnerable. If you have a scout in range, the mines should be vulnerable, period.

Reply to Mines & Attacking with Starbases in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

[quote]Maybe Flaks can double as minesweepers in addition to their anti-fighter role?[/quote] Great idea. Flak right now are half useless anyway. Make it a research option and you are good to go. Flaks are so meaty anyway that this would fit the ship beautifully. I also agree mines in general are OP. They are disgustingly powerful

[BUG] Auto-casting planet abilities even though Auto-cast is off in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

The bug people have been reporting about auto-colonization occuring even though auto-cast is turned off is not specific to colonization, but to all abilities that are linked to a planet. This includes planet suction, raze planet, and any other ability that targets a planet. There are multiple threads on this, here is one: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/333142

Reply to Auto-colonization? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

[quote]The issue is not with colonizing exclusively. I launched a TEC game last night and built a Marza w/ Raze Planet. Jumped into an enemy system, and the Marza made a beeline for the planet, ignoring an enemy capital ( ) and an enemy starbase ( ) to use Raze Planet.[/quote] I think this bug is specific to ANY ability that has to do with cap ships and planets. I got my lvl 6 egg and it imediately wanted to suck the planet dry of an enemy when I jumped in, even though the auto-
