Reply to Mines, oh God the Mines! in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

teaming scouts with flak can help speed up the mine clearing. edit: I thought the massive mine behavior was fixed in Diplomacy. Perhaps an alternative to disabling mines would be a lower limit on how many can be placed in a gravity well so you have to be more strategic about where you place them. I actually observe the AI doing this, placing mines around key structures. Would 5-7 mines fields be reasonable? Has anyone tried something like this in a mod?

Reply to Advent Rebel Titan fails to auto-attack in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I've seen this too. titans do act strangely and sometimes they think they are in range when they aren't. I often take them out of fleets and micro them separately because of this. FYI, a Sins fleet is a group of ships that you have grouped together and set one as the leader, so when you click on the fleet icon above the leader ship, all other ships in the fleet are selected. Not everyone uses this, but it can be convenient. Engagement range is a set o

Reply to Return of the Fallen in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

All this talk of probability made me wonder, if the dev's can't fix the techs with probabilities, maybe the Return of the Fallen should just activate on every 10th or 20th cruiser you lose (similar activiation for reanimation) depending on research level. It would be more predictable and we wouldn't have to talk about gamblers or fallacies. But perhaps Sins wouldn't be Sins if you didn't have deceptive percentages and fuzzy math.

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="11" id="3127127"]What exactly do Return of the Fallen and Reanimation do? From what I've gathered, RotF sounds like the one that is supposed to make dead ships reappear at your homeworld whereas reanimation would revive them in the battle itself. I've also heard people talking about clones of ships or gaining control of dead enemy ships? I'm also not clear on what Mass Communion does.[/quote] Someone correct me if I&

Reply to AI issue: Wont build subcapitals in mid-late game in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Did you have roughly the same number of planets as the AI (assuming a 1v1) and did you get your culture up as early as possible? You can eco as advent somewhat if you expand and get culture out quickly to raise your income and make it easier to get trade ports up. then you have to use your military to put pressure on the enemy. While the differences aren't as clear cut, I'd say that the advent rebels might be slightly more conducive to turtling (or at least slowe

Reply to Combat speed setting proposal in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

i can see how bombers would be helped in that case and they certainly don't need any help. a number of other tweaks would need to be made like ability effects and durations (especially for support caps) to maintain the balance, which is an issue now without other changes.

Combat speed setting proposal in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

What if we had a rate of fire/healing speed setting in addition to the other ones like ship speed, income, research, etc. (maybe throw in AM regeneration as well) It might make games go by a little faster if battles (especially early expansion) could be resolved sooner. Im thinking that the current rate would be considered "normal".

A few odd things I noticed in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

1. I just finished a 1v1 vs unfair AI as advent and when I won, I didnt hear the lady say that the unity was victorious, not even once. I'm glad it doesn't repeat over and over, but can she just say it once? 2. I noticed in a previous game that the TEC rebel corvette is different (and better). Is this my imagination or was it always different from the TEC loyalist? I could have sworn they were the same initially.

Reply to Addition of Titans possibly hurting Sins gameplay and balance in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Here's a thought. Keep titan research where it is on the research tree (levels 1-4) so we can play with our new toys early. I like playing with titans relatively early HOWEVER , make them weaker but add more techs in the same titan research line (levels 6 - 10). These could increase not only their base stats but also how fast they level and how much XP they keep when they die (as suggested by someon

i was just thinking this earlier today. I think a higher chance of bonuses would be very welcome. It would not only justify the cost but make the planets feel more unique. Also, here are some suggestions for new bonuses (its possible similar ones are already in the game and I just didnt notice): Master Shipwrights - frigate build speed increased Clear shipping lanes - ship movement speed increased, trade income reduced (it might not make sens

While I dont have a lot of experience with pirate mercenaries, this does sound like Insurgency from an enemy TEC player. As I understand, TEC rebels actually have to summon pirates now from the broadcast center. While hangars do the trick, if your enemies have teched up that far, you and your ally should think about putting up starbases with auxiliary govt/enduring devotion on all of your planets in case they start building novaliths. its expensive but you can take advanta

how about this: put TAR back to tier 3 with no pre-req's. (doesn't seem worth it in a 1v1 because you have to invest in useless diplomacy pre-reqs to get it.) HOWEVER, to slow it down, every neutral ship in the grav well reduces the planets tax income (this is a truce among ROGUES, not truce among charitable individuals, you have to pay the piper); or upgrades/structures could be more expensive. that will really slow down the expansion. Neutral ships could
