Reply to Custom Battle in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

i can understand a custom battle mode in a game like R:TW, and i can see it working here too, but i consider custom battles and opportunity to get your major fleet/army etc set up, set up defenses etc, and fight your ultimate battle... i cant see Sins as having enough strategy to be able to fully appreciate a custom battle mode... like, if this were a land based game, you'd set up your cavalry, your infantry and armor, your long range seige weapons, etc etc, here... well, its pretty much just

Reply to A SoaSE myth debunked. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

its probably based on how everything in sins is done by the clock, not real time (i.e. damage per second, not damage per actual shot) so, as of the second the fleet got the jump order, the fleet can jump, regardless of the fact that the stabiliser was destroyed the very next second... sucks, but i doubt its game breaking

[quote who="Allegiance86" reply="75" id="2425073"]I said it wasnt canon, no need to repeat it as if I hadnt mentioned it. Only reason its not canon was because it was oriented towards kids so alot of the usual stuff had to be reworked forcing it to lose its canon status.

StarFleet wouldnt even have to worry about instantly reacting as it takes forever for both Covenant and UNSC to actually act out any hostilities. [/quote] haha, so true

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="8" id="2422980"] So if it gets destroyed before all the ships reach their destination. Do they disappear? I don't believe this is how it works. My experience is that if the units were ordered to use the phase stabilizer node, they will complete their jump even if it's destroyed. That is, if you order them to jump, the stabilizer is destroyed, and after that they begin their jump, they will still use the lane even though it's destro

Reply to Any one else think strikecraft should have to be LAUNCHED? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

i think SC should not be manually launchable/dockable outside of battle but should remain docked until an enemy unit/units enter a grav well. so, on one of your planets, SC stay docked, but once an enemy ship enters a grav well, the sc are launched. once the enemy ship is destroyed or leaves the grav well, SC should dock automatically i do believe SC need some sorta ammo/fuel limit, after which they should return to their host. but alot of people will disagree, so...

so far, i consider SGU to be like SG1 and Atlantis,, but from the point of view of, like, SG 12 or whatever... you know, the expendable, ineffective support personnell that always come along just to be killed etc? they happen to be surviving a little longer here because the ship is taking care of them, but.... seriously... the producers better shape up quickly or they are going to loose ALOT of fans... on one hand, i can imagine an awesome firefight with&nbs

i do think it funny that the TEC's sin is 'punishing' the Advent for their sin... its like the Dark Ages church burned 'witches' for their sins, yet killing another living creature is a sin, so the church itself was sinning... given... i dont think the Advent did anything wrong... the TEC were just so narrow-minded and chicken-shit that they saw something they didnt understand and did the typical human thing which was to flap at it until it went away...

easiest first, as for the thing that broke off, i really thought it was a shuttle... if you watch the second episode (i think, maybe first, they blended together pretty seemlessly...) it shows a shot of the shuttle from the outside, and in the few microseconds we saw the shuttle at the end of the 3rd episode, they looked pretty similar to me... hey, thats at best, at worst... it really was a piece of crap that just fell off the ship, maybe an attempt to emphasise just how badly the sh

1) i figured the Destiny was using a traditional FTL drive where the ship's engines propel the ship at .999c whatever. (btw, i have my own theory that if you surpass the speed of light without a warp drive or Hyperspace drive, yes, you may go back in time, by only so it is proportional to the 'time', distance and speed travelled. so, you jump to ftl, and arrive at your destination the same time you left your departure point... anyway) and FTL drives are in SG canon, there is an episode in Atl
