Reply to Strike Craft Animation in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

yeah, if IC ever decides to either expand or outsource, it would be good. on the same page, if the larger ships could also turn and bank and do something other than just line up and fire from the hip i know there may be performance issues, but if its at all possible, id love for that to happen... but i can definitly imagine IC/SD being too occupied with updates/x-pack/Demigod to have time to fiddle with visuals

Reply to Time Barrier? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

yeah, there is a mod, called DOME something, it has something similar, a phase jump inhibitor that prevents you jumping outside your few planets or whatever but it loses 1 health per second whatever, and once it is destroyed all teams get to go at it with whatever they have built up as of yet but thats a mod, idn, in Sins, if you want to stop rushing you play on a slightly larger map... ive got nothing against the idea, but i dont see too many uses... as smaller maps are desig

1. i agree, id also like the ability to turn off auto-fleet join. for instance, ill have two large fleets in one system composed of the same number of units (when at full strength) but if im re-inforcing one of the fleets, the replacecment ships end up going to the larger fleet that does not need re-inforing. i know the devs were selling this as a unique feature, but they said it would join the most appropriate fleet... not the largest fleet i reckon if frigate/capital factori

Reply to The Three Expansions... in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

i dont think IC will make a campaign until Sins 2, or at least until the 3 X-packs are done. they have said there will be 3 expansions, but not that it will be limited to 3 expansions. ive been trying to think myself... atm, Sins is a great game for skirmishes and MP matches, but it is missing the flair and uniqueness of a campaign map. unless they use the third X-pack to introduce alot of the things needed for a camaign (neutral labs to capture, ship designs to plunder, more

Reply to Suggestion - Lock Formations in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

no idea about chances but i definitly like the idea. i think something happened in one of the entrenchment updates that messed up group jumping behaviour, as well as fleet moving within a grav well idn, though, what are you doing exactly? if you right click to attack a target, each ship will charge forward, get into its 'optimal' firing position and start plugging away. LF and HC are faster than say cap ships, carriers and some support cruisers, so they will get to the battle first.</

[quote]It does matter. You don't see phase stabilizers too much around in normal multiplayer because it is hardly useful until the game is already won - then it is just a gadget. Its position on the tech tree is important. If Stabilizers were useful to allies, they would definately feed to make the Vasari build them. Vasari would be reduced to a taxi corporation in the first 20 minutes. You perceive the Vasari through the scope of a TEC player. News flash - there is much more to Va

Reply to Capital Ships in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

i agree with the point that very damaged ships shouldnt be able to cause as much damage as one that is undamaged. i dont think new units need to be implemented where squadmates die and it lowers the effectiveness, thats not quite sins style, but definitly would like some weapons and abilities go out as health drops. like the Kodiak has 3 large autocannons right? when its damaged maybe it only fires out of 2 or 1, or a Guardian who gets so damaged it can no longer project its shield, or a
