Reply to Argonev Star Base in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Depends on what your up against, but I will say, If you're going to be using meteors, you dont really need that second weapons upgrade. And you can actually do without the weapons upgrades completely if youve got disorient and a bunch of synergized beam turrets. I would highly recommend using homming mines (build a hangar bay or two to get them) in any front line situation. Theyll soften your opponents fleet considerably for your defenses, or cause heavy damage to fleets trying to bypass them

Best time to use the culture upgrade: 1, on a starbase protecting inner portions of your empire (like a wormhole for example), 2. If your opponent is technologically inferior (ie doesnt have much culture of his own), then you can use culture to grab his border planets without firing a shot, or prevent him from taking a contested planet. As for bombers/fighters, most of the time its difficult for an opponent to tell what upgrades you have on your SB. If you upgrade its health to full,

Some fighter bays (with fighters) will make quick work of ogrovs, and dropping some homing mines can do some serious damage to an attacking fleet

Im afraid I disagree with you N3rull. The only time subverters get annihilated by enemy fleets when they jump and disable is when theres nothing else for them to shoot at once the distortion field falls. If youve got your fleet right there, then there isnt a problem. Distortion field is really a 1 time use thing any way, and if you really have problems keeping them alive for more than one use, then practice stringing them together, ie use 1, 18 seconds alter use another and move the first to

Two things. Tradeships dont show up on the empire window, wouldnt it be possible to give another ship that status. Also isnt it possible to change the icons that show up when zoomed out? Could you make your own that is very very small or invisible?

[quote]The no feeding option would work as long as a change was added to allow players to designate a new HW for free if they lose theirs. That way someone can get back in the game even if they lose their HW. I kind of like the idea of fleets having to reinforce their allies who are in trouble rather than just instantly sending them buckets of cash. It takes time for someone to plan an attack, and it sucks now that someone can just scream "FEED FOR STARBASE" and throw up a crapload of defense

[quote]Now, I guess you could create a custom random setup for many small star systems, but I've yet to see anyone do this.

Although feeding makes team games interesting in its own way, I'd like to have the option of turning it off. Also I feel like so much of the MP community is stuck in a Single Star Random rut. There are other options. We dont need a "No rush timer". Easiest way to play without th

Reply to Disrupt shields in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

[quote]Devs forgot about it.[/quote] I think this is the most likely situation, as shields were only added to structures in Entrenchment, so there was no reason for subverters to be able to target them with shield disruption before then. Designate target has always been able to target structures, so they didnt have to change anything about them when entrenchment came out.

[quote]abilities ranges aren't long enough to get w/in an SBs range and actually work.[/quote] The range doesnt matter, there are very few things that can outrange a starbase, yet that does not determine whether or not their abilities work on starbases, plus overseers and skirantras can keep subverters "alive". If you applied your range argument to designate target, the same could be said, and yet deesignate target can effect sbs.

Pawelo is right, shield disruption is very useful, especially in assailant and carrier heavy fleets. Its not a channeled ability. I say if its got shields, subverters should be able to disrupt them.

[quote who="Raging Amish" reply="5" id="2345475"]Ah rushing. So annoying. I wish Sins had the feature that Rise of Nations had. You could set a timer on how long until aggression could commence. Like, say, just put a 15 minute "all peaceful" mandate on the game. [/quote] Sounds like it could be an interesting Diplomacy feature.

187.5? thats all it does!? That is way lame for a lvl6 ability. It should be a channeled ability that does serious damage and heals the Vulkoras around 2/3-3/4 of the damage it does while its doing it.

Reply to Attacks from above? What? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Making Sins more completely 3D would require a huge overhaul of the game and its mechanics, thats out of the question at this point (pray for something like that in Sins 2). More practically there are two easy fixes for this problem. 1) Remove the ability for manual z-axis movement 2) Allow defensive structures and starbases a more vertical firing arc. Being able to move Z-axis manually I think is the best option (since it really does negate so many of the entrenchment
