Reply to The Colonizing Quickly Replay in Strategy Sins Forums

That's usually incorrect. The force that a player can project without expanding his economy first is way inadequate to hurt an economy of a player who has gone on a colonization rampage. In simple words, if you take your money and use them to colonize & upgrade 7 planets, the guy who took his money and built 20 LRFs for it will not be able to hurt you. Killing structures takes quite a long time, taking down planets takes even longer. If he has 7 planets and you have three, he WILL

[quote]i'm not so sure that sins ships were intended to be huge. just look at the crew sizes given in the manual. the kol battleship has a crew complement of 2,500. a modern carrier has a complement of more than twice that! and the kodiak has a crew of less than 475[/quote]I'm quite sure all ranges are given in kilometers, so if VN has a death splash radius of 1000 kilometers, then the Kortul (and other caps) should be about 200 kilometers long and frigates should be ~60-80.

[quote]1) does anyone think there should be a time limit from when a planet is destroyed to when it can be re-colonised by friendly/enemy/your own forces? ive seen many games where the planet was destroyed and 1.35 seconds later my forces re-colonise it. its no problem from my point of view, but from a defender's point of view it would be a bitch...[/quote]I believe it is the combination of how easy it is to take a planet and how hard it is to un-colonize planets that mess

Go throw yourself into open space, see what happens. There's a huge difference between having air slowly sucked out of your suit and being directly exposed to space void. People had a number of thories in the history of science. Until NASA throws a naked kid out of the window of a space shuttle, grabs and pulls him back inside 90 seconds later and that kid won't end up as a vegetable, I'll be convinced.

I hardly ever find time to play Company of Heroes via the net, and the matches there usually take 20 minutes, 30-40 being the maximum.

[quote]it p@%*^# me off when my lev. 11 cap. with upgraded everthing does that [/quote]lol I agree with the OP. Queued orders should stay. If it is not possible (for some coding reasons), I believe at least the "Retreat" order should be persistent. I mean, if you order a cap to "Retreat", it should do just that no matter how many times it's hit and with what. That would solve the issue partially.

I think knownalien is secretly on Stardock's payroll. He's bringing out the irritating stuff about Sins diplomatical options so we're more anxious about the Diplomacy expansion. Ha, you're not gonna fool me. Back to the topic though, your options are: Vasari - scuttle the planet (leave it) and KOSTURA THE GRAVWELL TO HELL. I'm not sure, but I think it will wipe the structures. TEC - build an argonev near his structures, upgrade it with the Red Button, use,

If someone found any information in this or the neighboring thread that we hadn't already known, let me know. I can't see any. Oh and btw, what's with that guy on the picture? He looks like a poor TEC commander who's been screwed by the Advent psychos and by the look on his face - he's at least 24 hours dead. No matter how hard I look, I cannot see any connection between this picture and the term " diplomacy" .

Dear Amish: Jam Weapons can save a whole fleet of heavy cruisers that is caught off guard without fighter/flak support against bombers. Just like that. You chain jam and the bombers do shit.

[quote]interesting idea, but I sort of have a problem with vasari getting such a powerful structure just for free, even though it doesn't do anything for a while. maybe give tec a free trade port to start with and advent a culture centre with both only working after the appropriate tech has been researched. those come a lot earlier though which might cause new problems. or maybe the races' specific defense structures shield generator and am regenerator with the same deal. they are, after all,
