Reply to Is the jump to Hard difficulty supposed to be this, well, hard? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

REPOST, I suggest actually reading the forums before you make a thread of which we had a similar one a month ago or so. Solution: play on smaller maps against normal, or play against 2 of them allied against you. If you can defeat 2 normals, well, you will be able to kill Hard AI. Or play against Hard 1v1, why a 8 player game for the first time against hard? and you are surprised it wasnt easy.... Try playing not FFA, seriously. This will

[quote who="GeomanNL" reply="33" id="3383697"]Well my test showed that it doesn't work that way. First attack by a large group of ships or second attack, it hardly matters. Only 1 or 2 ships in your whole group of attackers will do a bit of extra damage during the 1st attack and that hardly makes a difference. [/quote] strange, it always seemed to me that the first attack is stronger than the others

Reply to Nice game, but early game ... in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I never tested only looked at the ship stats, and I do think the first wave is much stronger than the others if all teh ships fire almost simultaneously, after this they start to fire continuously, they lose the wave-formation of attack, fire randomly, but I still believe with a well-ordered first strike you can do huge damage. Advent bombers and starbases are the best example, they can easily sting the starbase almost simultaneously with their first strike if you placed them well, and their

It basically it says "1 Ogrov is better than many" to target structures. For bombers in a single wave attacking a capital ship that would mean that the 1st bomber will do max damage, the 2nd bomber will already f

Advent defenses against AI are very good, with shields and many upgrades, once I destroyed like 10 level 6-8 Vasari capital ships and a supporting (though smaller) fleet with minor losses on my own (10 turrets and 2 hangars in exchnge for his capital ships lol). Without a starbase. Stupid AI thought from the total firepower he will win easily, well, he was absolutely wrong. I had no fleet in the vicinity (it was totally on the other front, I was like 10 jumps away) so I decided to do some tes
