why not just make a channeling abilty that uses 0 antimatter per second? passives don't have end conditions as far as i know.(see destra crusader's ruthlessness)

meh. nanos are nice early game, but they really start to pale late game when counters are more common and theres simply more to shoot. gravity bomb is another story. im tempted to suggest they swap it with marauder's subversion like someone around here suggested, so ppl really have a good reason to use them. shield restore is pretty powerful, yes, but it doesn't screw you in under 20 seconds. and its capability, even at level 3, is still far less than MB. i do agree it is a nice abili

A burgler sneaks into a house at night, looking for things to steal. After a while, he hears a voice say, "Moses is watching you!" Thinking he's imagining things, the burgler keeps stealing things. He's just about to go into the next room when he hears the voice again, louder this time: "Moses is watching you!" The burgler looks around, but he's the only one in the house. He ransacks the whole place, and just as he's about to leave, he hears the voice yet agian

Vasari surivability upgrade grants +10% health, +6 armor(=+30% health) =~+40% health TEC survivability grants +20% health, +4 armor (=+20% health)=~+40% health Advent upgrade grants +15% shields and +15% shields regeneration=~+15% survivability. umm? and advent dont even have a special upgrade for their sb(combat deployment, improved disruption).

Reply to Increase research please in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

the races do get research that improves their population caps for their favored planets(plus some research for terran planets for all 3 races). Tec prefer terran, vasari prefer volcanic, advent prefer desert

Reply to upgrades in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

was talking about research wise(but yeah thats a good point): Argonev has Lasers(lv0)->missiles(lv1)->Beam cannons(lv2) TEC have research to increase damage of all 3, + range of missiles Orkulus has Pulse beam cannons(lv0)->disintegrators(lv1)->phase missiles(lv2)-> damage increase Vasari have tech to increase damage of pulse beams & phase missiles, + shield negation of phase missiles Transcencia has plasma cannons(lv0)->lasers(lv1

Reply to [Balance] Standard Combat Upgrades ineffective? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

yes but you also have to consider bonuses to SBs and cap ships, which you can only have so much of. upgrades are the only way to increase the abiliity of an SB to project power in its gravwell(except stars where you can build four).

Reply to A way to fight piracy other than DRM. in Everything Else Sins Forums

there's so many things wrong with this idea...one being, exactly under whose jurisdiction are the web sites? what if the torrent site is hosted on a failover cluster on servers in different countries(kind of a theoretical there but still)? its the plague of the internet. it isnt really anywhere. there is no central hub even(just a network of routers on steroids). also, posting the game itself isn't particularly illegal. using that torrent when you don't have a license to the software

Reply to Nerf the damn marza in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

umm...no cap ships for the attackers? they deserved to lose. Ion bolt/magnetize could've screwed those motherships over good. LFs are a hard counter to carriers but the tech level difference is so big. also advent carriers are 50% more effective than the other races. how come no one built flak? would've screwed those carriers. build 50 and go steamroll that fleet!

i don't think a damage cap is beyond the engine. not part of it, yes, but i don't think it would be too hard to add in.

great DPS booster late game, usually the backbone of a fleet(or 2nd backbone, for advent). also make for damage soaks

Reply to Heavy Cruisers in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

yeah, kinda is. however, it can end up with an effective + 34% fire rate. comse out to about 28.9 DPS, +1.5 of course.... then again this once more involves figuring in all the researches, meh, ill have to do that later this week.
