Good question. It so, this would force players to consider military and diplomatic options very carefully.

Reply to Will America always be a superpower? in Everything Else Sins Forums

I am fully of aware that the US was using relatively old planes. The Indians were using planes comparable in age. A single air combat exercise does not prove or disprove anything, but that wasn't my point. My point was that arrogance in warfare only helps the enemy. If you are so sure that your equipment is brilliant and that it guarantees victory, that if America ever fought India, they may win, but if America was that arrogant than they would get a very nasty surprise. The V

[quote]US also has the best Air Force. While the F22 program has been somewhat contraversial, the contraversy was that it is so advanced there is nothing for it to fight. It's in its own league, so we can just as well go with the much cheaper F35, and maintain superiority with quantity.[/quote] This is debatable. In a recent air combat exercise, the USAF lost 90% of the dogfights against the Indian Air Force. See here.

Reply to NEW UPDATE!! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The changes to cruisers are good and the changes to cap ships are fantastic. The new Halcyon is an absolute monster. 6 squads by lvl 3 with ADA and Anima Tempest doubles the strength of all the Halcyon's SC squads. Very useful cap ship and all its abilities are very powerful. The Egg is basically the same when it comes to combat effectiveness. It actually kills frigates more easily now at lvl 1. The Vulkoras is a beast. Nothing kills planets as quickly as this thing. I haven't

Thanks for the info. I'm glad to hear that. Marauder+Overseer is going to be one hell of a combo when it comes to preventing your caps from dying to FF.

Absolutely brilliant. Love the new changes, but I'm slightly dissapointed at how little love the Skirantra got. Can't wait till its released.

[quote]pirates should have some level of self preservation so that they know when to leave.[/quote] Agreed. Pirates are criminals, not insanely brave suicidal fighters. They should leave when they have gathered all their money. Its stupid that pirates will destroy everything if you let them regardless if the bounty is 100 credits or 100000 credits

[quote]As long as it's not a full scripted and "un-persistant" campaign, I'm all for it. But I hate campaigns where it is linear and completely predefined. A non-linear, persistant campaign....kinda similar to Dawn of War 2's but fully in space and with our beloved Sins twist on it. Agree on that?[/quote] Definately. As for extra races, I really don't want a fourth "killer" race. Escaped Vasari slaves that gain independance from the Vasari would work I think. Ha

I think that Iudi sounds more Advent and not Vasari-ish at all. The Vasari one would be called the Astorak Council or something.

Reply to Sins 2 Idea in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Some pretty good ideas here but I was hoping for feedback on what I wrote, not what I thought was unoriginal (supcom: fa style story with killer 4th race) I was speculating as to how Sins may develop lore-wise, not gameplay changes or the addition of a campaign. Also, IC said that they will do a campaign, but only if it was completely unique and different from other RTS campaigns. Once again, any feedback?

I think that most of us will agree that if a 4th race is added and the current races team up to fight them, then it will be too similiar to SupCom:FA. Any responses at all?

Sins 2 Idea in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

A Sins 2 would likely happen and this is as idea as to where the storyline could go. The Sins lore is cool so it would be great to see how it will develop in the future. As the Darkness that is chasing the Vasari gets close, the Vasari are stuck in a dilemma. "Do we flee like we have been doing for millenia or do we stand and fight?" some ask. The Jisura Nomads and others decide to flee whereas the KorSul Armada stay and fight. They reason that they have fought too hard to gain their

I like these ideas. The Vasari "pretending" to be democratic to keep the masses happy makes sense. [quote]when a new Fleet Admiral Commander is elected, the Supreme Council approaches the Vasari who they have agreed to promote and issue him a sort of mission. This is his test. The test site would take place on an unknown planet's surface and gravity well (unknown in the sense that you never know what planet you will be sent to to complete your test until the Supreme Council drops you

Reply to Vasari History and Culture in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I don't picture the Vasari as being either religious or democratic. I can't imagine the brutal Vasari rbeing democratic. Maybe Vasari individuals become Omnipitor when they pass a very difficult "test". This "test" pushes the individual to the edge of their psychological endurance to see whether they are worthy of that position. In the military, people are not voted to become promoted. They are appointed based on ability. being militaristic, a Vasari individual may become Omni

Good read. I have one minor issue with this though.

Where did you get this from? Its the TEC geting smashed by the Advent not the Vasari.
