[quote who="Phalnax811" reply="11" id="2067217"] 1 point of contention, I disagree with the build rate penalty for carriers. Each race has a cap (or 2) with anti-SC abilities. It's not my fault that 95% of sins players didn't know how to use them, so now the carriers get nerfed beyond belief. I agree with the flak buff, but with the build rate penalty change, the carriers will be relegated to pre v1.1 use. Mark my words, against competent players, carriers aren't OP now, and

Reply to Are you using Colored Skyboxes ? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

When I play no, I dont. I find myself getting lost looking for units in the colors. When Im recording video, yes. Sure most of space is void, black and boring. But there nothing to say that your not near a nebula or gas pocket or anything really. Different colors could be light reacting to what around. Maybe the same as the Northern and Southren lights on Earth. Idk.

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire v1.14 Change Log in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Blair Fraser"] The 1.14 changelist is up as well. The engine is so different now and so many data formats have changed that its very difficult moving a lot of things back to original Sins. I won't be attempting to do any of the semi-complicated ones until Entrenchment is out the door and running well. [/quote] Im sure all the cool stuff like that is what he was talking about. But dont quote me.

The SC are not the problem, its the way the carrier deploys and host such SC. The only thing it will change is carrier spammer must prepare ahead of time and make sure they have an Option B if their horde of initial SC die a very flakish death. So people can still spam away, there is just a bigger price to pay if it doesnt work. And thats all the carriers ever needed. A punishment for failing the air support war.

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment – New Trailer! in PC Gaming Sins Forums

[quote who="Ceylin" reply="13" id="2066512"]I do think its kind of interesting that this game is always displayed in extreme close up for its trailers/screenshots/advertisements. When in reality, you rarely play the game at that scale Though I guees up close is more sexy. [/quote] I try to during a battle. Makes for some great movie clips and/or screenshots. But I play on slow speeds...soooo....

[quote who="CreditSuisse" reply="14" id="2066939"] Quoting Astax, reply 7 Seems silly change, you now have to retreat carriers, and possibly your whole fleet, but with entrenchment retreating from starbases is a bad idea. Carriers will become a dead weight then? Any deadweight unit will be toss out of the fleet and replaced by flak probably. Also what is the point of further neutering damage against structures? It might get to a point where t

Reply to A thought to balance carriers in Strategy Sins Forums

So after reading this topic and many others...There are 2 schools of thought here. A- Buff Flak B- Nerf Carriers Both have some great ideas and vaild points. I think we can all agree that the ability of the carrier field SC and keep those squard up and running without strong a strong counter. Maybe the best way to handle this is to not only buff flax and nerf carrier but do both. If we give Flax a increased damage vs Fighters to 120% and Bombers

Reply to Bigger Capital ships PLZ! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

To be honest I dont know why everyone always want a bigger ship. Once you get your super ship then someone wants a super super ship and those good old classic Caps/Frigates/Cruisers get forgotten. There is no need or a Uber ship in SINS. Unless you mod it. Like I said in Post #3. We look forward to your mod.

[quote who="DorianGray7" reply="5" id="2062852"] Quoting -Ue_Carbon, reply 4 In the Distant Star mod we made Cap Carriers better by bumping up the amount of starting SC to 4/5, maxed out to 8/9, and ALSO by giving Cap Carriers 'Elite' SC. You know only the best pilots get to fly on a Cap Carrier. These Elites have I think 25% more damage, armor and HP. Helps balance them out and give them an edge over light carriers. I like this idea, but

Reply to What is your favorite ship?? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Cap ship: Dunvo, hands down. The elite support ship. Crusiers: Hoskotos. Cant kill what you cant shoot. Frigate: Flak. Again best supporting frigate ever, even though they dont get much love. Now I play alot of SP so i know flak sucks online. But if you ever play a comp stomp with me you see my using mostly these 3 ships. They make up at least 80% of my fleet.
