[quote who="DastardlyDan" reply="23" id="2270253"](I didn't read the whole thread, so if my point has been previously mentioned, forgive me.) I think a lot of people have missed the OP's point. It seems to me that a lot of people are assuming that the OP wanted the TEC ally to be able to build and utilize their own Phase Stabilizers because their Vasari ally is able to. That is not what I believe the OP wanted. I believe the OP was suggesting that an ally of

[quote who="JuleTron" reply="10" id="2268521"] I thought that all weapons do instant damage to make it easier on the CPU. [/quote]Nope. The missiles deal damage around the moment of impact. Sometimes slightly sooner, sometimes later, as the game calculates damage, but it still takes 10 or so seconds for the phase missiles to fly the max range of Assailants to their targets ; and often another salvo follows just to be wasted in the void. Javelis are having a better tim

Keep thinking you have any sort of right Rezonator. You're the kind of man who is settled into his fantasy and won't accept logic until he shouts allah akbar and then it is too late. Say, we have 15 planets of a TEC player on the left and 15 of his Vasari ally on the right. The TEC builds lolmao amounts of factories on their border. Can the TEC defend the Vasari's other flank? Yes, one jump to his nearest system and one jump to the other end of the Vasari's territory. Can th

Ok so basically Rezonator wants to develop his own new soase lore and talk about it while you Deceiver just don't believe that having huge TEC fleet (supported by their huge economy and all bunch of production enhancing gadgets) jump around th galaxy like a Vasari would hurt the gameplay. I've said it all. Rezonator wants to dream on, very well. Deceiver decides to think otherwise, very well then too. Have a nice day. PS. No, it's still not gonna happen lol.<

Reply to Phase Stabilizers and Allies in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It doesn't matter what sounds reasonable technologically, this is not a real world. This is in its heart a competitive video game featuring 3 different races with different strengths and abilities. Each one has unique characteristics and even though som minor gadgets may work on allies as they do on your own, phase stabs should not. Imagine: there is a 5v5 game and team A has 3 TEC and 2 Advent (or, in fact, any number of TEC and Advent players mixed). The other team may build up

Reply to LF and LRF damage % chart changes. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm not sure about some of those changes. LRFs should still hit LFs badly in my opinion. However, LRFs should have their effectiveness highly reduced against other types of ships. The problem with LRFs rite now is that they work good against everything , as long as they're protected from fighters. Structures, LFs, Caps, support Cruisers, carriers; you name it - they blow it . Only HCs take a moment to destroy, but i

Reply to Phase Stabilizers and Allies in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

No, this should not happen. If TEC ships could jump through Vasari phase stabs, then Vasari should be able to build ships for half price when 'TEC researches Industrial Juggernaut. This is a lost cause. Phase stabilizer is the unique feature of Vasari. Everyone has repair bays or stuff like that, but only Vasari can jump from one of the star system to the other in one flight. You should not be able to hand that over to your allies.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, cause I couldn't bother to read everything; There is one more OP thing about Illums in Soase, which is instant weapon impact. It is very noticeable when compared to assailants, whose phase missiles are loltardedly slow. It often happens that your large group of assailants fires a full extra salvo of missiles ( = a lot of damage ) onto a ship that is going to get annihilated by the previous salvo, which is just about to

Reply to Capital Ships in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The problem with shield mitigation is that it takes 2 minutes to down a light frigate with firepower small enough not to cap the mitigation. Such firepower ( ~10 or 12dps, which is enough to max shield mit) is never a threat to anything. Basically, whatever comes under any serious fire in this game, it always has its mitigation bumped up. Why not focus fire then?
