Reply to Space Station With Last Resort Enough? in Strategy Sins Forums

you can tell if a starbase is 'rigged to blow' by its exp value, which is no longer set, but dependent on upgrades. You can use some upgrades to fake the exp value into suggesting the existence of big red button, but i dont think you can hide a big red button. Unless 'waiting to upgrade at last second' counts as hiding. in any case. players are not stupid usually.

Reply to Should Random Maps Use the "Fair" Planets? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

races still require different quantities of resources, like, the advent is crystal heavy. And the black market would definitely still be a thing regardless, before quickstart, selling 200 metal and buying 100 crystal was one of the first things to happen in a game, and the quicker you were on that draw, the better.

Nothing is lost by adding an option. What could be gained however... 1v1's and/or competitive multiplier could actually become a thing. I know I would finally legitimately just be. ecstatic that I could play a 1v1, and not be able to blame a loss or win by getting map screwed / opponent getting map screwed. anything else interesting new in those files?

Do you know the scariest thing about ponies is? This is not a good statistical sampling, so grain of salt here. but every pony thing I have been shown by my sister? has to do with huge quantities of violent killing. There was one thing about grinding up ponies into rainbows. Another with chainsaws (I think i saw that chainsaw thing somewheres on this forum even.) something about tornad

This stuff is incredibly impressive. For some reason I feel like the Devs wanted, tried, and failed at directional shields for rebellion, so serious props to you.

Agree with the DE sentement. in the stupid ultra dumb lategame, advent could field 2 superweapons per gravity well, as opposed to the normal one per grav well... which sort of balanced out the fact that each individual shot was wimpyweak. Now they have gone from 2/grav well to .25/ grav well... without making the DE stronger to compensate. as to how? Significantly increasing duration on both the buff and generation is prolly a really good start. It i

Reply to DEAR DEVS, OTHER PLAYERS BEATING ME. in Strategy Sins Forums

I think the clear way to go about testing this, is to hire the other players to play for you. If you still suck, then it prolly has to do with your account, and you should buy another copy and get a new name. That should solve your problems.

Reply to for a new player, concerned about your concerns... how big of a balance issue is there? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

advent just got unborked. vas still a bit op though. Trueth is, this is a game of inbalances. Everything is "inbalanced" in the starcraft 2 sence, but not in the sc1 sence... where one seige tank, psistorm, or irradiate or whatever kills everything one hit. Basicly, nothing is fair, its just a matter of who can abuse the abusable things harder. (someone check me on this)
