Limiting targets is not the desired outcome. Reason: what is to be the target limit? 5? Lmao. 10? too nerfy 15? One-click wipe of small fleets, quite useless in big battles. 20? That's already a little OP for what a single cap can do with one click and still not too powerful in big battles. 25 is basically imba. There is no hard target limit that would work. MB will either become junk or will still be the same one-ship, one-click, no-fleet-required imb

Yes it is strange, yes it is sophisticated and yes it is f*cked up. I admit ;p . It was 4AM in the morning and I just threw whatever came to my mind first. Whatever the change is, I still think Missile Barrage shouldn't be outright massive AOE damage dealer. Nothing does that. Cleansing brilliance affects a tight cone of targets. Volatile Nanites require a lot of dps ( = fleet) to work. It shouldn't be nerfed to boot, I don't mind a good ability on Ma

You nailed it again. So please IC, pimp my Starbase! Well not really. But at least make it a viable option against another Vasari. Or give the attacking Vasari a different tool, something he can use to his advantage and the enemy can not (like torpedo cruisers are for Adv or TEC, like mobile starbase is for Vas against Adv or TEC).

Reply to Idea to balance Vasari Starbase in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Well, you made a mistake of throwing the starbase alone (it looks like it from your description). I too feel that the disintegrator arrays seem to be more effective against units than structures, rather than the other way around. As in - they hurt ships badly while not being anywhere near 4 bomber squads when used against structures. However, it isn't all that bad. Has high hitpoints when upgraded ( if</s

I didn't mean the Marza to buff nearby ships. I rather meant that nearby ships should increase the Marza's effectiveness. Marza shouldn't be able to wipe a fleet alone. That's retarded.

[quote who="milo896" reply="22" id="2131196"]Yes and no. Just lowering the damage and leaving the rest of the ability alone would be too much of a nerf IMO. As it is now, it only will kill of LRFs (not countin Illums), and a few support cruisers. It heavily damages HCs, but all the factions have good AoE repair abilities. It's because of these AoE heal abilities that lowering the damage would make MB useless. Just for the sake of argument, let's say that MB would be toned down to deal 900 dam

Maybe I was fooled by the fact that the disintegrator arrays shoot two blasts from different cannons at every target. Whatever, it is still not lvl1 cap, but it is helpless for as long as you're building it. So it really ain't OP.

[Suggestion] Moving the camera should lock the cursor. in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Hi, The tiny change I suggest is locking the pointer whenever you hold the right mouse button. Whenever someone wants to turn the camera around by holding the RMB and moving the mouse, the cursor follows the mouse as usual. When the person is satisfied with the angle of vision, he releases the right mouse button. The problem is that when you release the RMB, the game treats it like a 'Click' wherever the mouse pointer is located at the moment. This caused a lot

[quote who="transitive" reply="15" id="2128335"]its obviously incredibly dangerous once its got a few upgrades going (particularly the frontal shield and its weapon upgrades) but starbases, Orkulas included, aren't really much of a threat when freshly built. mediocre weapons and about as much durability as a level 1 cap ship when freshly built. its probably worth diverting your attention from the Vasari fleet to the Orkulas so you can frag the thing before it gets upgraded to super evil death

Agreed with invisible grav mines idea. They should become visible some distance away, but generally not be seen. They don't kill, but unless the enemy is cautious, they can hinder. Perfect surprise for the careless spammer. Another thumb up for this idea.
