Reply to guys with tongue ring? in Everything Else Sins Forums

Ive had my tongue pierced for almost 6 years, and I still like it. Ive never had anyone think I was homosexual because of it. The whole eating thing only lasts for a few days. And your mouth will feel normal again once you can put whatever kind of bar you want in it. They usually give you one thats a bit on the long side to compensate for any tongue swelling, it well when I had it, it was kind of awkward. You may have a slight lisp for a week or two, or have a little trouble making the "th" s

Reply to [Bug] Lum Damage [Dev confirm] in Technical Sins Forums

Quick question for you guys: Is the Disable Passive Regeneration ability of Phase missile platforms supposed to effect your ships even after they leave the hostile well containing the platforms? It may be a bug, because I don't remember them working like that before, but I could be mistaken.

Reply to New Player, Lots of Basic Questions in Strategy Sins Forums

Tech Tree There are a few techs that are going to be pretty essential early on in the game. Ship research is probably one of the most important, you should almost always research your respective races Long range frigate (Javelis,Illuminator,Assailant) as soon as possible. The long range frigates are excepional at killing the common early game light frigates (Cobalt,Disciple,Skirmisher), and should be the backbone of your fleet early on in the game. That goes for SP and MP in most case

Reply to Whats the unit balances like now? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I see Kortuls and Skirantras WAY more often now. With extra squads now, you'll actually see Carrier caps at the start sometimes. Lums are still tough, but they aren't the end all be all of games like they used to be 75% of the time. I see less of guardians (people arent rushing them out to invulnerablize their lums anymore) more of LFs, more of overseers. more carriers (but thankfully not like it was a few patches ago). Overall, a vast improvement.

[quote]Vasari yes, Advent no. Disciples are very inexpensive, and steal antimatter is @_@[/quote] No doubt, but theyre still as durable as a wine glass. Theyre inexpensive, but you need a lot of them to be a threat, and lets be honest, Advent arent really known for production speed. Not saying you couldnt be effective with the others, just saying cobalts are much easier to work with.

[quote]3) Doesn't change much; you have to be zoomed in pretty close to see the graphics effect. As mentioned, the Kortul now has a disrupt, so it's a hard counter to the Marza.[/quote] I'd have to say you're essentially correct, but the red trails make the barrage much easier to spot when the Marza is supported by a ton of LRFs, which is nice.

Reply to Devs hate humans? (cause we all know who they secretly are) in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The exclusion of the TEC cruisers may be in part due to the lack of complaints about their usefulness during the previous version, wher as Guardians, Sunjugators, Overseers and Subverters got plenty og attention by the community, the TEC cruisers did not. I don't think the lack of buff on their part degrades their usefulness, but rather increases the usefulness of the other races cruisers to a more equal level. In MP I feel that all three second support cruisers share the same rarity due to t

Reply to [Request] Devs VS. Regular online members in Multiplayer Organizer Sins Forums

Not that defeating a dev at his own game wouldnt have its.. ego perks (and I imagine that a few of us may already have without even knowing it), but Id like the opportunity just to see what kind of tactics they use, and what kind of matches they prefer to play. I have a suspicion that the developers would want to play a game type that more effectively utilizes some of the less popular dynamics of the game, (ie pirates, unlocked teams, multistars etc) Either way, Id be honored to play

I agree with Uber here. Those changes make Disuptive strikes quite powerful, especially now that it can apply its effects to 3 different targets (ideally). This ability can now wreak havoc on any channeled ability, and now I'm sure you'll start seeing Kortuls charging headlong into missile barrages rather than running away, giving the Vasari a second interrupt option, which will be a lot better than having to rely solely on the Marauder. Also, we all have to remember that the first 3/

[quote]15 extra squads? Where are you getting that from. Their lifespan is still 120 seconds, and the cooldown (at level 3) is 20 seconds. That's six extra squads, not fifteen. That's kinda pathetic, seeing as the new Halcyon ability gives you three extra squads for free.[/quote] Ah you're right, I misread my own post about scramble bombers.

To all who are recommending more changes: Good ideas, but lets see how this patch goes before we start jumping on top of things. We ought to thoroughly examine all the changes that are evident and those that aren't (remember how interwoven this games balance is) before drawing definite conclusions. This is a MAJOR patch and a lot of hard work undoubtedly went into it, the devs certainly deserve a breather and a pat on the back before we start recommending adjustments (not to mention t
