Reply to Which is The Best race? in Strategy Sins Forums

Vasari, IMHO, are the best race. Early game they can gain a sifnificant economic and military advantage by capturing neutrals and being able to pump out LRMs within 5 minutes. Mid game, their support cruisers can disable enemy units and make them even more vulnerable to the almight phase missile. Upgrades further increase the effectiveness of phase missiles and improve crystal and metal extraction rates as well as reducing the cost of everything. Late game, the Vasar

Reply to a new faction idea for the next expansion... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="GeneralJosh" reply="8" id="2199960"]wat if the strike craft, instead of being uber awsome, were like suicide bombers, and could infest enemy ships and make them work for you for, say, 10/25/40 seconds (with research) before they blow up from hardware crash?[/quote] One of the ideas pitched around was that whatever is chasing the Vasari is something made by them, most likely some of their nanotechnology gone horribly wrong. This fits in with the robots idea.<

Debris Vortex Question in Strategy Sins Forums

Quick question about the Debris Vortex ability for the Orkulus- Does it only consume debris, or does it actually suck up small ships?

Reply to Feel big? You're not. (Epic Mindboggle inside) in Everything Else Sins Forums

We have actually recorded something moving 10,000 times greater then the speed of light. From the May 2009 issue of Discover Magazine: In 1997 University of Geneva phsicist Nicolas Gisin sent two entangled photons zooming along optical fibers until they were seven miles apart. One photon then hit a two-way mirror where it had a choice: either bounce off or go through. Detectors recorded what it randomly did. But whatever ac

TEC Screenshots in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

In light of the great feedback to my Vasari Screenshots (thanks guys!) here are a few TEC shots from a game I just finished up. Turned off team colour mesh, so the ships look a little more realistic. <img src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2630/181/119/517984497/n517984497_2227735_1332701.jpg" alt="" width="604" h

Reply to Why all the TEC hate? in Strategy Sins Forums

Personally, I prefer Vasari. I haven't played online yet, but against AI they suit my play style the best. Each race is fairly balanced, what you have to look at is their unique options. Vasari win me over with Phase Stabalizers, awesome firepower, great mobility, and of course, the mighty Space Egg.

Vasari Screenshots in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Here are a few screenshots I took of various Vasari ships...my computer isn't on the highest setting, but they're pretty good. EDIT: They've also been shrunk quite a bit because I used Facebook to upload them. <img src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2630/181/119/517984497/n517984497_220331
