Reply to Bug - Crash to Desktop in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I also had this CTD-without-dump several times in previous betas. I just had one with beta 2c and once I loaded the game from the autosave, I was able to play for several hours later on. I'd do a shotgun approach on looking for some memory mismanagement which puts the program in an inconsistent state, which crops up depending on how objects are created and destroyed along the program operation, but not (or hardly) a bug which can be reproduced consistently solely from a sa

The gibs are completely tinted with the team color, instead of being metal-textured. Is this expected, or a texturing bug? It's fugly (the colors, not the gibs themselves).

Reply to Rebellion Beta 2b (0.80) Change Log in Change Logs Sins Forums

I think there is a bug in how the AI handles focused vs. non-focused gravity wells. Ships seemed to change target for no reason when zomming out and in a gravwell. For instance, I was retreating a badly damaged capital ship and a bunch of LRF were after it. It seemed perfectly in sync with my minute zomming ou-and-in that they stopped, idled a bit and turned around, going back to fray with my titan. I noticed other instances of zooming in and seeing ships idling in the middle of

Reply to The 4 titan techs to unlock build percentages seem pointless in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I think the Titan should have other techs as requirements instead of being a standalone path. I would have the initial titan's cost lower, equal or a bit bigger than a capital ship. A button like the capital ship's, which lets you buy up to 4 levels would exist, but it would be to upgrade the Titan to a full-blown one once the new technologies are unlocked. For instance, it should at least depend on having starbase tech developed, following the logic that once yo

Crash not creating dump. in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I have had a few crashes on the beta2, but the dump is not being generated. I could not identify any particular in-game action which could have triggered the crash. One of them froze the game and gave me a warning, the other was a straight crash to desktop with no warning. The audio disappeared some 10 seconds before this crash. [EDIT] The second crash created an empty dump file, but with 0 KB.

Reply to [Suggestion] Pirate base enhancement in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I think that the pirate base should sit in a run-of-the-mill resource asteroid, instead of a 'pirate uber-asteroid'. It should have a starbase-like concept and growth (without the 1 star base per gravity well limitation though), becoming stronger as the game progresses. Pirates would only colonize resource asteroids on gravity wells without a colonizable planet though. That would also make possible for a single gravity well to have two or three pirate bases, and for a system t

Reply to Victory Condition: max. cap ships at lvl10 in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

It could have a difficulty to the victory condition. Easiest would be 2 caps. moderate 6, hard 10 and hardest 14.

Victory Condition: max. cap ships at lvl10 in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

That would be an interesting victory mode: cap ships would have to be maxed in fleet capacity and level. To throw a wrench in, infinite XP tech and that Advent resurrection tech would have to be disabled/replaced. Capital ships also only get XP proportional to the damage they inflicted to ship when it dies.

Reply to I realy dont like moons in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Busted planets would be a nice addition. I like the idea of moons being accessible only from 1 planetary gravwell. It would be interesting to have Gas giants with the chance of having more moons/asteroids than ordinary planets. A mechanism where colonizing 1 moon grants a small number of tactical/civlian resources on the planet would be interesting. Imagine a gas giant, not colonizable per se, but having 4 moons, each owned by a different player. All those players would be abl

Idea to fix 'truce amongst rogues'. Maybe. in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Making peace with all neutral is way too much OP'ed. Godmode. Why don't you make 'truce amongst rogues' an 8 level tech, in that: Each level enables you to make a permanent peace treaty with a single planet at most jumps from capital. So, at level 1 you can make peace with 1 planet 1 jump away from your capital. At level 2 you can make peace with another planet up to 2 jumps away from your capital. At level 3 you can m

Reply to Rebellion will use Steam Workshop for mods? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I think it would be incredible leverage of a familiar framework, without the hassles of having to build it from-scratch. There were lots of complaints about the deficiencies of the previous system. It will be especially nice if it is possible to have an auto-mod-download feature for multiplayer games i.e. If the host multiplayer game is based on one or more mods, all players which joined the game in the lobby would automagically download the mods. At most a prompt stating the

Reply to [Poll] Corvettes as Strike Craft? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I've suggested in another thread to tie corvettes to gravwells (strip'em jump drives!). Planets would build them automagically. Player would be able to set production speed to none/min/med/max with varying degrees of penalties for planet production of credits/metal/crystal.Would need a dedicated button for that. Number of corvettes would be limited by the number of tactical slots, but they would not actually take up a slot. They would still take up fleet supply. <

Reply to Management, Build Queues, Corvettes, capital ships, pirates. in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I was thinking more of tying the max number of supported corvettes to the number of tactical slots available on the gravity well, not on making them actually use up tactical slots. The slots would only act as a 'max corvette population counter'. It is up to the devs to make this per-planet limit become the only limit for corvette production, or to make in addition of the fleet supply limit. I vote for the latter. Maybe star bases and titans could support add

Management, Build Queues, Corvettes, capital ships, pirates. in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I think it's universal that ships which are meant to be spammed must have the build message toned down. Personally I think that it does not even need to have a voice. A sound effect would do, like a whoosh launching sound, and then it should only voice if I am looking at the gravwell where it was built, otherwise it just becomes noise. Another problem is that being so readily lent to a 'spam unit' role, micromanagement should be kept at a minimum. The

Reply to Titan death un-impressive in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Yes, the Titan exploding should generate a powerful aftershock which would hit friend and foe alike. BUT I think it should be dependent on the Titan ship type. Suggestions: TEC Loyalist: Ultra heavy damage + shockwave pushing everything away - including structures, even starbases. TEC Rebel: EMP pulse depletes shields and disables ship weapons and hull regen Advent Loyalist: Scream of the Unity - detonates antimatter causing damage which ignores shields

Reply to Corvette Feedback in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Yeah corvettes are pretty much useless. +1 to build message spam is uber-annoying. I agree to building 2 at a time, but also think there should be a tech tree where the number of corvettes build at once can be increased for faaster output. 3 levels for a maximum of 5 corvettes per build order for instance. Build time would increase, and cost would scale with the number of corvettes, but each level would give a small price discount (say 10%) and a little bit faster build time.<

Beta feedback: Zoom bug, maybe a rally point bug? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I am on my first game with the beta, and I have found the following: After some time, my game suddenly snapped into a limited zoom view where I could only see the planet's gravity well. zooming out after a certain point would snap back to a close-up to the planet, no matter how many times I zoomed out. The snap-back is instantaneous. As a result, I lost the ability to look at my empire from far away, looking at several systes at once. Needless to say i

Reply to 5 things you wish to see in Rebellion in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

1. Another starbase blueprint for each faction. I have some suggestions buried in old threads. 2. More upgrade options than levels for capital ships to force specialization, like starbases. Nothing against 'uninventive' upgrades like +armor, +shields for tanker-style capships, for example. 9. Better, less exploitable AI 15. Improved role of neutral systems and pirates. I have plenty of ideas on this, also on old threads. 19. Non-capital ships able to le
