[Bug] Neutral Planets Don't Spawn Militia Turrets in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

On the Dawn of Victory website, one of the DoV devs said that: "I should note that around 70% of randomized planets are supposed to spawn with Gauss Turrets but don't due to Ironclad misspelling "Gauss" in galaxyscenariodef and never fixing it." Is this true? Will it get fixed? A single spelling mistake is hard to find, but fighting militia who have turrets would be new for me.

This is dissapointing, but hopefully it means that IC is working on something even better. I think the reason for this is that ICs ideas couldn't be inplemented in the current game. I remember ideas about different game-modes, a unique campaign, cap ships that could get every upgrade and even a way that cap ships could pick up map items. I think IC is saving these ideas for Sins 2.

[quote]'ve heard about a 40% of discount. But the is biggest savings that people forget about is: you get high tech ships like HC's, (or Carriers) even if you don't do the research for them.[/quote] Maybe this explains the low cost efficiency of Vasari ships? Maybe the devs intended for Vasari ships to be too expensive, but give them a way to get ships that are free (not only much cheaper). Imho, this reasoning didn't work out so well.

Most of the Marauders abilities need an overhaul. Phase Out Hull should be changed so that sub-light engines aren't disabled. Or it should become an ordinary disabling ability like Ion Bolt. Distort Gravity is rarely needed, but I can't think of any change except a longer duration or maybe even make it passive. Subversion should be like Embargo. The Egg's colonise should give 1/2/3 extra contructors.

[quote]you phase it out. they stop firing at it. even when it comes out. you still repair it. and your enemy just lost an entire salvo of fire.[/quote] Exactly. You still need to repair it afterwards. Overseers do it while saving your cap ship. Overseers allow your cap ship to continue to fight and/or flee. With Overseers, the enemy may waste MANY salvos of fire, not just one. With Phase Out hull, your cap ship is still stuck in

On a different topic, using Phase Out Hull on a friendly cap ship that is being FFed is a waste of time. This is because the friendly ship is disabled. Why bother when you can use Overseers to save your cap ship from FFing and not disable it? Using the Maruader in this way is pointless.

Reply to Making Cap abilities viable in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Jam weapons is only a stalling tactic if you don't bring flak and/or fighters with you. The ability that is really a stalling tactic is Phase Out Hull. You can't kill the targeted ship so basically it gives you a little bit of time and thats it. Also, Phase Out Hull is pointless when targeting friendly ships. Why save your cap ship from FF and disable it with a Marauder when you can use Overseers to save your cap ship and not disable? Its incredibly stupid.

N3rull, when you used to say that assualt cruisers should have medium armour, I thought that you must have some logic behind it, but I didn't really think about it. In any case, its pointless having two different structure killers if you can counter them the same way (fighters). Its stupid. I've been trying to raise awareness of this issue ever since Entrenchment came out. Only now are people noticing. Giving seige frigates heavy armour makes sense. Back when carriers

[quote]Change armor type? Nah. Though I'm curious what it is currently (as well as the Sivuskras and Ogrov's).[/quote] Ogrovs and Starfish have light armour. This is bad because fighters counter them. They have the same role and the same counter as bombers which makes assualt cruisers obsolete. They are destroyed too easily. Flak may counter SC very well, but with a change to carriers this will also change.

For Starfish, I say change armour type, increase shields and reduce fleet supply. Not sure about other changes. As I said earlier, buffing Overseers will increase the survivability of Subverters. They need no change other then the SB targeting thing.

[quote]I suggest the subverter jumps back to where he cast the Distortion Field after the channeling ends.[/quote] Interesting idea. A simpler solution may be to give the Subverter more hull/shield points. Buffing Overseers may remove the high destruction rate of Subverters anyway. Also, with the Vulkoras the issue has been raised that Phase Misile Swarm damages random targets that you may not target with the rest of your fleet so that the ships regen health and the damage is

[quote]man, calm down. 120 shields per second is like having two overseers patching up the ship all the time. I do believe 18 shields/second (the current value of having 3/3 PS on L10 Kortul with shield ups done) is total bullshit, but 120 shields/sec? On the other hand, though, the Kol can easily shrug off way more than 120 DPS with Adaptive Forcefield. So it's not that bad after all.[/quote] Ok, maybe I went overboard slightly with shield recharge, but the Kortul should be comp

I think that Power Surge should deal splash damage like the Kol's Finest Hour. A simple DPS boost is pointless on a cap ship. Also, it should recharge shields at 30/60/120 shield points per second. Disruptive Strikes should have a chance to interrupt chanelled abilities.
