i think it might actually help with situational damage, such as flanking etc. hide a fleet behind a planet and when the enemy fleet is drawn into a cross fire, open up... it could definitly help get rid of the rock-paper-scissors style hard counters

My Idea for a new type of Gravity well in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

right so the idea popped into my head the other day, what something interesting we can do with Sins. no idea how it came to me but it did. So, imagine some giant ship like the emperors destroyer from Starwars or something of equivalent size. give its own gravity well, and incorporate defensive platforms into it so it looks like the weapons on the ship are firing etc. then send your fleet out there to attack it and then either colonise it or research it or

Reply to LRMs need a real fix in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

i agree with getting rid of rock paper scissors approach i was playing World in Conflict recently, and before that, Company of Heros. Both games have somewhat of a RPS (rock paper etc) approach, as in, only Anti-Tank teams or other tanks can destroy enemy tanks etc, while tanks themselves were less effective vs infantry. pretty basic stuff, but one thing both games have is situational damage buffs. for instance, flanking a tank (firing at it from behind) would destroy it faster.

like i said, start the game with all your AI's on easy, then when you've got a big bombad fleet, save, exit, reload with all AI as hard or unfair, and go for it. best thing too, is that if you havent got any of the preeeding achievements like beat 1 hard ai by yourself, beat 2 etc (like i hadnt) you get them all shotgun, yeehah

[quote who="General_Harada" reply="6" id="2229783"]It's a lot easier to just ally with one of the AI's. Do a simple mission or two at the beginning, give them some resources, or kill a few of the people they hate. It's a PITA, but it works well. The mission screen will aslo tell you how much 'favor' you'll get for any particular mission, so if you are well liked, you can skip one or two. The real problem with AI's, is that once you're down to you and one, it doesn't matter how much
