Reply to MAKING FACTIONS AVAILABLE NOW. in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Heh, you gotta love how people are outraged about one guy, who asked simple question. As if him asking had any influence on development. If the devs disagree, they simply wont do it, no matter what. No harm done. BTW despite TEC being the only "finished faction", you can actually finish the game for Vasari Loyalists. There might be some placeholder graphics, their abilities may be unfinished and imbalanced at the moment. but its not like the game crashes the moment you start the game

Reply to HD texture pack? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Titan could use higher res texture though. Given their size and all that. I wonder though whether we will see some minor graphical differences in models/textures of at least some of the units/structures, which are shared between the subfactions. I recall this was part of the original media statement.

Yeah, jamming frequencies like Vorlons on Babylon 5, when they attacked planets with their planetkiller, I like it. Could use it when attacking a world with my (hopefully) planet-eating titan [e digicons]:D[/e] Not sure, if it was not overpowered or simply annoying game feature, even though the basic idea is cool.

[quote who="Lavo_2" reply="5" id="3114722"]I have a suggestion, make it possible to disable Titans in the game/map setup options.

Reply to More Bugs in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Good idea with those star attribute descriptions, i built 2 Orkulus SBs at a blue star recently and watched them die, as they would not repair themselves. Then i found out it is the star. Actually i have no idea, what are the other star types attributes, does every type come with some kind of downside, so you cant just build ultimate 4 SB combo and be cool with it?

number of gigabytes is fairly irrelevant. the number of shader computing units is what makes the GPU strong, and notebook gpus are generally pretty lackluster in this regard (because lot of shaders = lot of Watts needed). There are however few high-end mobile GPUs, which are spec-wise closer to their desktop brethren, maybe you have one in your macbook.

Reply to Vasari Loyalist Titan in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Vorastra Titan can already summon Dark Fleet ships on its position, so there is no need for it to "store" any ships inside like some sort of carrier. Its 3D model also lack some sort of launch bays for this to look graphically adequate. I would like though, if the Titan was somehow part of the planet stripping process, which based on current info, is not planned/going to happen. I would imagine the whole mobile capital base gameplay work like this: you send the titan with flee

Yeah, i think Envoy should have the immunity all the time and to prevent its use as a indestructible scout in such casw it should be made far more expensive. In regard to any "bars" and crapload of those relationship factors, as i said,at best they should affect AIs decision whether to accept your proposal or not, but not preventing you to offer it to them, if you wish to do so. Actually, if there have to be any ratings, i would include some kind of espionage. You will have to

Thanks for the explanation, now i get it. And i do not like it. As you said, i should be in charge of who do i want to ally, not the system with some random values. I understand the reason behind the system though. Against AI it seems only one value is needed, how they like you, but if there was another human player instead of AI, he needs to know, how much you like him. Anyway, i think this whole point system needs to be removed and you should be able to offer AI anything you want at
