yeah, didnt mean to compare on a 1 for 1 basis... but insofar as community communication, Bungie trumps IC/SD hands down... in terms of making good games, and useful patches/updates etc, and NOT screwing around being idiots instead of working... well, i think we know who wins that one

i have to agree, Stardock and Ironclad are VERY quiet, although they are only small companies. another forum i was heavily invovled in at the time was the Bungie forums when halo 2 and then 3 came out. Bungie released multiple items of news a week, as well as a standard weekly update. on that aspect, they were very good, and i had lots to dream about at night (omg thats gonna be so cool etc) however, (and sorry to any fanatical Halo fanboys out there) i really think Bu

Reply to Entrenchment vs Original Sins in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

Sins is different to Entrenchment in some ways. i usually only play Entrenchment, because there are many common features plus the new entrenchment stuff, however, original Sins has different maps, with different people playing online. the AI is also different to entrenchment (different features, ships, research etc) and entrenchment has 3 more unique artifacts. also, im not certain but its possible some number values are different (such as damage values, cost of research or resource

and let me just state here that im not anti-god or anything like that, just very anti-religion. Hell is just a bedtime story to keep you inline and paying your dues to the church. In Australia, the aboriginies have a story about the boogie man, that if you disobey your parents and dont stay away from the river or whatever, the boogie man will come and take you away and eat you or some crap like that. Most people nowadays will say thats quaint, but crap. tell me how thats different fro

[quote who="Mooster" reply="5" id="2217963"] one thing i would like is for ships in fleets to manouver and fly and duck and weave and act as though the DONT want incoming fire to hit them, as it is, its smacks of American Civil War and even British Colonial Era fighting where troops would rock up, line up, ready, aim, and shoot the flying f*** out of each other. i think it would make for a much more interesting experience visually to see ships flying around, to see a LRF running away des

Reply to Really noobish question but... in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

i agree its irritating sometimes. i was playing a large single star map, the AI had fortified a single GW chokepoint that would hae very effectively blunted just about any attack i could have made... in the end he surrendered to an enemy AI who had been sending single ships to die in that GW for about 2 hours or so... i dont believe you can turn surrendering off, but the new expansion is about diplomacy etc, so maybe the devs will include something about surrendering... a

im just wondering, what is effective VS the actual carrier? like, flak is good vs SC, but any ship, including SC, can destroy a flak frig, while only flaks and other SC can take down SC, meaning there are already many more threats shortening a Flak frig lifespan. AND, you can destroy all the SC you want, but until you destroy the carrier, it'll never end, so whats is the counter to the actual carrier?

[quote]Rezonator, it sounds like you just don't have any interest in playing challenging Sins games--games against real opponents. Scoutting out your opponent, determining the strength and composition of your opponent's fleet, anticipating your opponent's next moves, and making adjustments to your own fleet's composition and responding to your opponent's moves and taking advantage of his mistakes is just part of the game. You aren't supposed to be able to build whatever units you want willy-n

here's an idea, how about axing the whole concept that makes certain units spammable? or at least put in a new mechanic that overrides current weaknesses, such as flanking a ship - lets say a LRF (i.e. attacking a single ship from 2 diff sides) will makes its shields drop twice as fast, and does more damage/quicker than a fighter attack? cause i seriously have to say, thats whats stopping me from playing MP, the stupid exploitation of 'loopholes' (for
