Reply to Stargate - Universe in Everything Else Sins Forums

just because the plot of the episodes is predictible (which... in these 16 pages, seems to be the largest complaint)... doesnt mean that it isnt any good. Seen Avatar? its just as predictable as any SGU episode. I mean... a line pops out "whatcha going to do? shoot me"? 30 min later he shoots her. and the entire time i was picturing the end fight... and i was spot on. but its still an awsome movie. just because something is predictible... does not m

Reply to Sins a clickfest game? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

while all real time strats require clicking... I would say that sins is rather on the low side... even at high speed settings, as far as "who ever clicks the msot wins". I mean... if you have ever watched some koreans playing starcraft... ya... sins of a solar empire is really low on the clickclickclick side. Learning the hotkeys is really helpfull to... cause instead of trying to hit buttons... i can click on a roid and hit qqgwqqaa and have that roid with its pop upgrade, and al

In single player... I am sure carrier cap spam is effective and usefull... but in multiplayer... your either going to end up doing some mean shizz if you do it right (2 haylcons+scouts+lf= very, very hard to lose early game)... but building 4 or more carrier caps... I only have seen done sucessfully twice... and thats only cause they were already winning by a large margin (and had many frigs) Now.... as far as numbers... high level capital carriers are just as/more

the problem with distort gravity (and this is the big problem) is that if your ships are at the edge of the gravity well... they sometimes suddenly feel the erge to back up to the new, shorter departure range... Which... wehn trying to GTFO is suiside to turn around... back up... turn around again... and by this time the ablity has expired... and now you have to go foward again... and those PJIs suddenly prevent you from getting out... >_>

actually... love cannons do stack... at least 3 times. they dont lower the maximum allegiance lost... but they exponentionally increase the amount of culture spread. fire one at a planet... mouse over and view the "culture spread rate" or whatever... then try 2.

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="63" id="2493139"] Nobody seems to care overmuch about the floating chunks of rock on Pandora, or the blue ovoid crystals in the pterodactyloid-choosing-scene that seem to provide the lift. Now, I highly doubt that the humans have access to practical antigravity devices, because the vehicles all have wheels and airfoils of some variety. If so, that would make the rocks an INCREADIBLY valube scientific and tech

They are preety nice... although... idk... The TEC one does look exceptionally unimaginative. (and not like a retro fit like most every other tec thing) The Vasari one looks... rather nice actually. THe advent one looks like a sex toy... (then again... a good portion of the advent stuff looks likes shiney, metal, nvm...)

erm... alot of the stuff still works with locked teams... even with locked teams you have to do quite a bit of work to get some of the uber pacts... which are very helpfull. (new tier 8 tech, anyone?) and envoy cruisers have some very helpfull ablities... even for your own worlds.

back onto super weapons... i really think they are fine atm. Deliverance engines... while... maybe underpowered... can be really really effective when used right. (not to mention... advent are the only race that can stack 2 superweapons in 1 grav well... although that will change with the introduction of tactical pacts.) superweapons (if you can get to them) are very very easy to kill... i used a single kostura shot to jump in a few assainants and some siege frigs (for the lulz) on to

Reply to Sins: Diplomacy Beta 2 Notes in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

something i would like to complain a bit about... in the notes you say that pacts do not stack... however I can nor form multiple pacts with other people (it says you can have only one of each pact). Please make it so you can offer pacts to multiple people... even if you dont recieve the bonus. However... I think that having the same pacts with different races should still give diminishing returns... say... the first pack gives your current 10%... the second 6.66%, and the thi

just because the tec doesnt get much from the beam pack... the advent player does. you might as well get any pacts you can with everyone... because while one of you may not benifit from it... the other one will.

TEC and vasari DO have beam weapons... just... not very many. and... i think... that the advent starbase 2nd weapon upgrade (psionic surge or something) is a missile weapon.

Instead of listing players... how about you just give a list of all the things that are unsportsman like. for example... the biggest thing there is (and the thing your missing) Is Kicking people. Sometimes people will wait an HOUR for a game to start... and then someone comes in and asks "any room?" and the host of the game will kick someone who freaking waited an hour to get kicked. This is preety gay. (for all the devs reading this... it would be intresting

oh, i can use a balanced fleet 'tactically and strategiclly'. With a mid-late game vasari fleet I can do very evil things. I normally use a balanced fleet. I almost never use advent, and i never use the spam except to show how OP it is. You assume too much. However, I can also use spam tactically and strategicly.
