One Ability Per Two Levels for Capitals? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Just a thought, but would having the abilities more sparsely parcelled out make for a more interesting game? I have been thinking of doing this in a mod, just to change things around a bit and see how it feels to play. Normally, because i have rather limited time, i tend to play a single player game over several days. I just thought that having an ability for every two levels of a capital would mean i wouldnt get all of them until level 8. Or to stretch it out to one ability every three level

if i bought 1.05 at the store and upgraded it online when setting up the first install, then i should be at 1.096, yes? I will need to copy the game to another area and see if i can download this and load it into the second copy. Does that sound right? Sorry for all the questions. -Teal

Creating Levelable 'Crews' in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I have had this idea in my head for the last few days, and wondered how to accomplish it. Basically i would like to create crews, that are moveable from ship to ship, and carry their experience with them from game to game. 1. If i rename the ships, from CapitalBattleShip to something like Captain Faragate, link them to the a player.entity file, then i could make 10+ copies of the ship and drop them in the game folder, each time i play a map i could choose a different Captain level Nam

[quote who="GAGA Extrem" reply="2" id="1920961"]About focused fire by strike crafts: Why not add flak guns to cap ships? Scale the number with it's level, so a lvl 1 kol has no AA, a lvl 10 gets 3, carriers get 1-4, support ships 2-5 (for example). This would strenghen the caps against the new mass strike craft tactics, would give battle caps the opportunity to stay in combat much langer and strenghen supportive caps in their fleet assistance role.

Reply to Help with making a Machinima in Sins Modding Sins Forums

hmmm..... can you do this from windows? what i mean is take a cursor icon in windows and blank it, make it a clear window instead of some picture. Use it as a template, so you dont lose your ability to get it back. And then fire up the game? But the game probably has its own icon for it anyway, so it may not accomplish anything. :( Hmmmm.... this is a toughie... Have you googled it? Invisible cursor? Just a last minute desperate thought.... haha...

Reply to Massive amounts of bombers in Strategy Sins Forums

Really, just changing out the 'guns' or upping the weapon damage in the fighters/bombers can be done without being cheating too much. A modest increase gives the ship an edge, not necessarily an all-out win everything edge. But if we look at this realistically, with no changes at all, the best counter for fighters/bombers, is anit-fighters, and fighters themselves that take out the bombers. So that would mean if i face a super-carrier with 200+ squadrons of fighter/bombers, then i wou

:) It runs off screen for me, but still there. :) i lose the part that shows the ships stats, and just see a bunch of fighter bomber units. :) Haha.... its annoying to not see the info on the ship. I wish the window were scrollable, you know? So then we could see them all. One way around this i found was to up the numbers in the squadrons and lower the squadron amount that i call. Say up squadron to 50, and then from the ship list 2 squadrons. I get 100 fighters/

[quote who="particlewave" reply="7" id="1922227"] old farts tend to do a lot better when there's more than just blowing stuff up. Well, I'm guessing old fartdom begins sometime after 40 (maybe for some as early as 30, depending on who's doing the labelling) and ten years ago I would have vehemently argued against the above statement, after all, mindless destruction and mayhem holds high status in the gaming pantheon. I do concede that I tend to like a more strategic/metho

[quote who="CenturionJixra" reply="5" id="1922211"] People keep saying that it takes too long to play. It really doesn't take that long. Most 3v3 or 4v4 maps (large random single star or even huge random single star) are decided within an hour-and-a-half's worth of game play. What makes it take long is when there are noobs who are too noob too realize when the game is over or insist on fighting it out to the end for some dumb reason when, instead, they could
