ok, but that doesnt answer my original question: do i have to manually copy/paste fixed code, or will impulse fix it when i say "update" like it did with 1.04?

@salmon: thank you for the clarification. Figured as much. @jsw_ballz: wouldnt you be better served with having an extra upgrade to defense/offense for your SB?

[quote who="Swordsalmon" reply="48" id="2399581"] Yes, it is. Actually, a common Vasari strategy is to rush the enemy with Starbases, preferably at his homeworld. The key is to have your fleet engaged with the enemy's while you can sneak a Migrator into their homeworld. It's absolutely devastating! [/quote] giggle, its pretty fun also you can build one if you have no carriers, but your fleet is strong enough to defend it while its building. then when its upgraded.. it can

[quote who="FlyingNinja77" reply="47" id="2399566"]Darvin, or anyone, Any good starbase strategies for the Vasari? I'm pretty dumb, so I just max armour, max weapons, and maybe throw a trade port on there to link my planets if it's in an empty spot. Are there certain upgrades (ie frontal shields, debris vortex) that are worth getting OVER the max weapons/shields? You only really have one slot left after maxing those, which might get tr

I agree. though, its not like strategy changes all that much in SP. For MP it should be hidden from all players in the game, until people decide to be on a team.

questions: 6: do you mean resource asteroids, or literally mines? The latter doesn't really make much sense to me, so I assume the former, but I would like to be 100%. 7: in a typical "oh sh*t, i am getting pinched" situation, I usually got for the 4 overlapping repair bays. vasari hangers and missle platforms have additional abilities that help out in terms of delaying damage or repair and this can be super helpful if nothing ever dies. I have played against some dumb players

What if one of the things you could do would either bribe them to attack a certain target, or find out where they are going. a la Sid Meiers pirates. You could watch them go into a system, and then follow them in while the target planet is under attack.

Reply to Advent homing mines in Strategy Sins Forums

My biggest complaint about mines is that they all say they are cloaked, or out-of-phase. And yet you can still see them, but nothing will attack them until a scout checks them out, specifically with the ability "decloak mines". To me this would mean that you cannot judge their placement or amount until you use said ability. So make them invisible fer crying out loud. If i jump into a planet without good enough recon and the place is filled with mines I cant see and I have made no plans for th

Reply to [suggestion]Idea for Diplomacy - limited trade of ship specs in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Personally instead of trading ships, I think it would be neat/headache-y to have moderate control/control over your ally's fleet. I think this was in some rts gae i played like 10 years ago, it was a lot of fun.. though the game was obviously much less complicated. but in that case it was "share control" which meant 2 people were playing as 1 player. have a research tree for allied control, first be able to control only x amount of ships, only if in your GW. next tier, control

Reply to Ship voices......relative to their status....... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I think relative status updates by fleet would work too, i mean if you had ships that told you how they were thats awesome, but what about when you select a fleet or a 10 ship squad? "fleet is nominal/taking damage/at 30%" i know you can read the stats, but in the heat of microing a battle, do you really want to keep track of whats going on with little numbers? otherwise, i like it.. a lot. actually scrap that first part and ust make status updates more informative other than

ok i am hving some problems with the forum kicking me out when i try to post today 2nd try: its nice to know that the AI does build assault Orkulus SBs. I havent seen it outside of them trying to retake a planet, but whatever... if it happens sometimes good. as for a vasari anti structure ship, i dont really agree. there is a thread about HCs that jumps ship for a bit and talks about artillery cruisers for the races. I think if vasari had one of those (a

Reply to [Suggestion] Diplomancy may need more cheating AI levels. in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

i dunno, with recent new learnings from another thread i may use superweapons again... though i do thin its odd that advent can put two super weapons in a GW but vasari cannot, despite the same tactical slot requirements. I think the AI should be allowed to put starbases in neutral gravity wells. The fact that I can easily dominate a game by parking an orkulus in a plasma storm, or 4 in a star is silly considering that the AI could have done the same an hour ago. also, has any

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="44" id="2399177"] You'd better do it with one, otherwise a smart Vasari player will just get debris vortex and restore all its health with the scrap left over on the battlefield. If the Vasari starbase has no backup, the best way to take it down is just to bring in carriers with bombers, then run the carriers away. They move faster than the starbase, so it will never catch up to them.[/quote] Or for fun, plant a starbase in a plasma storm,

@itharus: I knew the basics of the phase lane bit, but I had given up on most of that side of the technology, usually by late in the game I dont really have much use for it. I was thinking of a scenario wherein my roommate and I were playing and I think every single planet had a kostura and i was slowly working my way in through the front, if i had know i could have jumped behind and oh lawdy, what a killin i would have had. The way it was revealed to me here was so surprising i almost didnt

Bump. Has anyone seen how this works out post-patch? I play almost exclusively vasari, and for a while I had a glitch happening that when I upgraded the last level of wave that enforcers would stop firing and would drift around... which is a pretty expensive meat shield. Since the patch, that has been fixed for me, and I've been beating up on some poor people. But I dont know if thats because my bug was fixed, or because of the changes in entrenchment 1.04? As
