The AI is dumb. Just make sure you have your cap tanking the bulk of enemy forces while the construction of your starbase is ordered. The enemy will most likely continue to focus your cap and chase it around the gravwell while your SB is underway. If it's a Skirantra/Kortul/Marauder or any other fast/tough/healing cap, you'll likely have your cap still with half hit points when the starbase starts doing its thang.

Finally some chunk of info. I guess I'm not in hell yet. I wonder, who in his right mind would let an envoy cruiser into his territory if it can be used to take over his planets. Oh well, I trust there's more to it. Keep it up.

Reply to No more sins addons after pax? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Answers will come in time, I agree, but the time doesn't seem to be coming any closer. We've been waiting 6 months, nothing. We've waited for PAX which was to reveal ALL . It revealed nothing. I won't b.tch for info anymore though. Do what you want and when you want it. Somebody page me in hell when that time comes, cause I feel it may be about that long.

Reply to Need large map help please in Strategy Sins Forums

In Sins vanilla it is really hard to protect a large empire, even as Vasari who can quickly jump all of their forces from one end of their system to another (if the gates don't get buggit). I must say it is at times almost impossible to do - simply because the enemy can bring number_of_AIs*2000 fleet supply points of ships, which means that against 4 AIs you can only bring out 2000 supply points, while they can attack you with 8000. There is no bloody way you can beat THAT, except with M

Yeah, right. Captured criminals would be that much happier without handcuffs as well. All sorts of objects, from knives to bombs, have been brought aboard planes in hand luggage (laptop case?) and used to deadly effect a number of times in the past. If you don't want to open your laptop case, rent a private jet/helicopter. They won't bother. Oh and if you want to know why they're checking your shoes: [quote]An example of active passenger resistance occurred

Everybody can kill another person. Hell, you can kill fifteen people just by slamming your car into a bus stop. Let's take all cars from everyone. Taking my example into such a scale is exactly where your "cost/benefits" becomes extremely unfavourable. An airplane is a very specific place. You can stop a bus and get out. You can stop a subway train and get out. You can't just stop a plane and get out. Further - you can immobilize a bus or train and thus render it har
