Reply to A few questions from a new player in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]- and lastly: are credits better to have than metal or crystal? or is the opposite better? since you can buy or sell on the black market, does having a lot more of one of these matter? Thanks in advance[/quote] My recommendation is to avoid using the black market as much as possible, especially early game except when it provides a strategic advantage or you have large amounts of excess metal or credits mid to late game. I personally find that crystal is more valuable than metal

Reply to Sins - Diplomacy update - can't load savegames in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

In the future if you have save games you want to continue in Single Player and have the hard drive space available simply make a backup of your entire Sins application directory in Program Files. I have done this multiple times to be able to watch replays from previous games. It also works for saved games as well.

Reply to What makes a "gg"? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I don't have a lot of online games compared to most here... but, I have had quite a few good games and they usually are based on how the winning/losing team responds to their victory/loss. It really takes away from the game if someone is a complete a##hole and ruins what could have been an enjoyable game. It's like going to Disneyworld and having your wife or mom bitch and complain the entire time (no fun at all!). The really great games are when you work well as a team to achieve victory, ma

My friend who was playing Visari didn't know what the hell was going on as his superweapons fired at random, only to notice autocast was turned on. Why would anyone want this thing on autocast for any reason?! [/quote] I believe this was done so the AI could actually use super weapons.

[quote who="Kitkun" reply="3" id="2534715"]Fighting Vas? Phasic Barrier ability allows them to phase out most of the damage, and also causes anything targeting it to lose focus. An extremely annoying ability. [/quote] Aha, loaded the replay... It was indeed the phasic barrier ability on the Vasari structures. Very handy in the future I think! Thanks Kitkun!

Micro'ing Bombers? [solved] in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Has anyone else had issues in Diplomacy with bomber strikecraft ignoring your micro orders. For example I had ordered my bombers to attack a frigate factory or media center and they stopped to attack a scout or colonizer. This was really frustrating when I was trying to destroy high value structures and they kept canceling the order to attack something else. Edit-Didn't realize phasic barrier on Vasari structures caused strikecraft to lose focus and queue'd micro commands&nb

Reply to Bug? Capships not autocasting in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

just curious, did you have the ships set to hold position? I've seen this happen that way as the autocast range can be just outside their bombing range.

[quote]The point is that people like me DO find ways around this. If pirates aren't brutally powerful, I'll just shrug them off with the right tactics and the feature be silly and pointless. Now, I can understand that pirates need to scale appropriately and level off in the late-game. However, they need to be powerful enough to break through starbases and minefields to capture planets, otherwise they don't do jack once my defenses are ready. [/quote] I agree wi

Reply to [Fixed next build]Pirates are ridiculously powerful??? in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Ok, after winning a FFA against 3 cruel AI (maximum two winners) I let the game continue to see what would happen and... I've got to agree with Ryat on this one. Infinately increasing pirate strength is not even believable. The rate of increase sounds more like an oversight to me than a planned gameplay mechanic and has nothing to do with perceived player skill. Part of the problem is actually the Pirate Pillager laser damage. Later in the game it can fire from 1/4 of t

Each player gets his own star with 5 planets and can colonize without being rushed immediately. It's pretty fun for 2v2 matchups or if you like playing coop against the AI. Another good multisar map for longer online games is Systems of War. It's a 4 player 5 star map with each player getting their ow
