Shoot a planet with a kostura cannon, it now acts like it has a phase stabiliser for a bit, allowing you to jump from a phose node to the kostura target.

Defence placement in Strategy Sins Forums

i was just wondering how people position their defences to get maximum coverage? Personally, I just stick everything together, so the hangars and starbase draw the enemy fleet in (to stop the strikecraft) and this by extension brings them into range of the 'turret' defences. I put mines in front of my defence, in the place the enemy fleet has to go to attack the SB, so at least they have to spend some time mine clearing, or basically go around/ over the or

Reply to Starbases versus Superweapons in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote who="Deceiver_0" reply="4" id="2210031"]So the Deliverance Engine is the only Superweapon that is unaffected by Starbases, interesting. I mean, if novaliths can't destroy the planet, and it would take a ridiculous amount of Kostura warheads to destroy a fully upgraded starbase, than the Deliverance Signal gets a little boost in effectiveness eh? That's not to say it makes the other two completely useless Since Novaliths can still take your population to 0 (thus reducing tax income) and

I might be wrong, but while starting poor, don't TEC ultimately have the best armour rating (if you get all the research.) I love the complexities of the tech tree, ata glance it looks kinda homogenous, but the more you compare them the more you see the subtle but definite balancing.

Yes starbases are a foil to even the unfair AI, seriously you can fight as many of them as you want as long as you lock an area down with starbases, they'll waste their ships fighting them. Against all the AI's the trick is surviving the opening, then you just turtle forward as you get resources, sun starbases are a good way of creating a chokepoint.

a: 10 fleet for tha TEC and Advent construction cruiser, Vasari's comes from colony frigate. Once you turn the ship into a starbase it no longer uses supply howerver. B. 1 starbase per side per well. 4 starbases per side per star well. C. Its like planets, click on the starbase and you are presented with options. Each starbase has 8 Upgrade points, there are a lot of upgrades, you can choose 8. No going back. Some are tiered, so you need lvl 1 weapons upgrade to get lvl 2 weap

Hmm, I think a good one to add, is to ensure that you position your ships correctly. If a ship has guns on multiple sides, Caps/ illuminators, make sure it is in a position to fire as many as possible. For instance, the death egg (evacuator) has a wave array that targets frontal targets, but it has beams down either side that wont fire unless there is an enemy to the side, try and position the egg to be facing the enemy line down an angle so its beams have targets as well as it's front.

Most of the people arguing for this say it worked in DOTA. From what I hear on the 'nice communities thread' the DOTA community are a bunch of talentless dolts; who have less social ability than a dung beetle with chronic halitosis. Maybe they need a ban list. Coming from the SOASE community, which as Frogboy noted is nice, this should be unneccesary. Before we decide we need a banlist can we have a go at being a nice community that doesnt need one plz. There is never a good reaso

Reply to Vasari question in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Vasari to my understanding, they are aggressors with a relatively poor economy, and culture spread (so no TEC credits and no super money making advent allegiance bonuses from culture.) They have resource extraction techs roled into one, so upping crystal and metal income through research is more viable. NO1 coolest thing to my mind are PHASE MISSILES, as you research Vasari missiles become increasingly likely to negate shields and shield mitigation, so pew pew [e digicons]:cylo

Reply to Should Assault Cruisers (i.e. Orgov or Starfish) have ship-to-ship weapons? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Like medieval siege weapons they need to have the way cleared for them or they are just big vulnerable targets, i think its fine that the same goes for assault frigates. When you take out the army round the fortress, THEN you can wheel in the big guns to break down the walls. I would say that the same should go for siege frigates, excecpt this would limit the planet harass strat even more and further reduce their use.
