now... could someone make a "all wormholes lead to rome" type map where every player has a 1 way wormhole to an otherwise unreachable system? That might be a cool map... that might not required modding...

So... I was playing a 1v1 on multiplayer... on one of the 1v1 maps... and the map is perfectly balanced... on each side of the map there is 1 roid, one desert, one volcanic, one ice for each player... and then there are 2 neutrals and a pirate base on one side, and 3 earthlikes in a nice curve around the star... It was a great game... but... he eventually won... why? well... there were other things going on that contibuted*... but the main reason I lost is sim

Reply to Game Balance and Version in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

1.16 If LMFs were a bit slower (so they could not chase), LFs were slightly faster and turned faster and shield mitigation. was redone so it better fullfills its purpose(preventing focused fire) Capships wouldnt die stupidly fast to FF, and a player would need both LFs and LMFs in the early game, because using only LMFs would mean that they would be expanding slower (since it would take more time for the LMFs to get to the next grav well). Slower LMFs woul

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

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="5" id="2235601"] i, personally think that shield mitigation, while was designed to sort of punish focus fire... doesnt do it very well... The problem is that, in practice, focus fire just makes mitigation reach its cap sooner. Even small amounts of damage, given enough time will cap out their target's mitigation eventually. Hell, send 3 cobalts to a neutral asteroid gravity well and order them to attack the militia. They will

ya... in sort of my side idea... i was thinking that close ships would donate both some of thier shields and midigation to the ship getting pwnt, but a ship on the edge of a group (or a lone ship) would be... well, left without support from other ships, and, since its "flanked" it would not get that sort of bonus. Your point about mitigation lore is a good one... the problem is... is that flacks (anti-verylight) and kodiacks (composite), both do autocannon dmg... which

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

i, personally think that shield mitigation, while was designed to sort of punish focus fire... doesnt do it very well... and instead of bute-forcing an + in the midigation cap... a more logerithmic sort of mitigation would be much better. Right now, it doesnt matter if 5 or 50 ships are focusing fire on another ship, hte shield midigation jumps straight up to the max and stays there till the doomed ship goes boom (or, if the player is paying attention, runs away).
