Reply to Poll: Novalith vs Kostura vs Deliverance Engine in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The things about dropping allegiance and losing planets/population to the DE and Nova is that, by the time those weapons show up in a game, the majority of players incomes comes from trade and not taxes, so unless your targeting the enemy HW with Novas or DE, the loss of income at any other target is negligible. The Kostura is the only superweapon that can really put the hurt on someones economy by destroying the multitudes of trade structures around any planet.

Reply to What do you do with Fleet? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I often use 'fleets' so that new ships adopt specific behaviors when they join the rest of the group. For example: I have my fleet in a enemy well with heavily defended structures all in a ball. To prevent new ships coming into the well from wandering over to attack the defense ball, I'll select my cap ship and create a fleet and then set the cap ship to 'hold position'. All incoming craft will join the fleet and hold position, and I wont have to tell each one to do so.

[quote]The Z-axis just needs to be removed completely[/quote] Not all of it. I like being able to line my ships up in a wall. And I like my fighters/bombers being able to fly up and down. I also like that my cap ships and my orky can wiggle out of situations where theyre surrounded or blocked by going up or down. Putting a definitive top on gravwells would be nice though. Really though I wish gravwells were spherical rather than cylindrical or conical (not sure exactly what th

[quote]As I said before, if this was on the Kol, it would be awesome. A level 10 Kol with FH and IS would plow through enemy fleets. DoT's and splash damage. Awesome. On a Kol, it would increase DPS by 24, here it just increases it by 6... At level 10, that is about a 15% boost to the Kol and a 3% on the Marza. That is why... I just don't like it on a ship that doesn't get much bang for the buck out of this...[/quote] Good point. Doesnt have much place on the Marza with Radiati

[quote]ctually you can build the turret, let it kill everything but the LRF, then come in with a few scouts to clean them up. One or two LRF will take like ten minutes to actually kill a single turret. [/quote] Right, or you can just wait til they start atacking one and build another right next to them. They aren't smart enough to move.

Reply to Sins is getting Overwhelming... in Strategy Sins Forums

A few tips for outsmarting the rather dumb AI: 1) AI will always attack defenses. Be sure and build-em around all your border worlds. AI is particularly fond of sending a bunch of siege frigates to take poorly defended planets on your borders. Be sure and upgrade emergency facilities and put up turrets all around the planet to kill em. Hangars with fighters are particularly effective at killing these guys. Hangars with fighters are also great at taking down enemy

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

I've noticed this extreme Z-axis movement often occurs when two planets are too close together or a phase lane crosses above or below a planets gravity well, and is a silly bug. However, turrets and SBs do fire along the z-axis to counteract this. So I'm not sure what happened in your case. You said his fleet "nibbled" at your starbase, what did you mean by that? I know assailants can increase their range, but I'm not sure if that increase puts them out of range of the Sbs weapons completely.

[quote]And Deceiver, I think he's talking about the premade maps, not the random maps.[/quote] Right but the OP is talking about all the maps, and so was I. Oh, and yeah the militia thing does really suck. BUT I know an easy way around it, even if you've got 3 hcs and a bunch of other ships at a desert/terran 1 jump from your hw. Send a scout ahead. All the militia will fruitlessly chase after it, as you just run it away. Send in your cap to kill off the siege frigates

Reply to So Sins is broken, a patch anytime soon? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I'll tell you why everyone is frustrated. It used to be the Devs would let us know what they were up to, comment on issues people would bring up, and release patches addressing theses issues. It's been almost 2 months since the last patch came out and we haven't heard a peep from the Devs about what they're working on. The 1.03 patch did address some bugs, but ignored the biggest issues of the game to date, which I agree with Raging are Illums, repulse and enforcers. So it feels like we haven

[quote]In other words, Rad Bomb is better.[/quote] That is it does more damage yes. But it also soaks up a lot of AM, if you'd rather save your AM for Raze Planet and Missille Barrage, I'd recommend simply boosting the dps with incendiary shells.

Reply to Map Balance in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]The maps aren't the problem, it's the inherently random nature of the game. The number of extractors and militia are randomly generated for each planet at the start of the game, and slight variations in the map's layout can greatly affect the balance. [/quote] This is most prevalent on Random Maps,hence the randomness. Other maps have certain aspects of them set, such as extractors and militia.

[quote]perseverance is not 360 degrees...would be nice, but advent cap ships would be damn near uninteruptable 24/7[/quote] Perserverance is also a channeled ability and a tier 6 tech. 360 degree firing arc would be good for this guys abilities. They aren't stackable and are likely to be interrupted before they complete the whole ability, so a big boost to their ease of use would be desirable.

[quote]Fair enough. It doesn't need to be a 360 degree ark, but the current point and shoot's gotta go. I don't think you can adjust the turning speed without affecting the speed/acceleration of the ship, but that's just a guess on my part.[/quote] Agreed, 360 is too much, increase the arc/turn speed, but don't make it omnidirectional. Had a long debate with n3rull over this one. You wanna make it par with hohos, 360 makes it significantly better since its instant and stacks.
