Reply to The games you find truly groundbreaking, original, awe-inspiring and memorable in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Now, I'll admit I haven't actually played this game, and it hasn't even been released .....yet. But it shows promise for the first 40K shooter ever. WARHAMMER 40,000: SPACE MARINE That is a game that is going to be ground-breaking. Oh, yeah, and I think Battlefield 2142 is pretty ground-breaking, as it introduced a totally radical objective-based game mode, "Titan Mode", wherein the enemy team's epynomous Titan had to be destroy

[quote who="ChaoticNeutral" reply="140" id="2920633"]As does SW, they are almost identical in speed, but the empire has a range advantage due fighting at the same ranges, but having guided missiles.[/quote] There's several problems with this statement. 1. The acceleration figure I gave was derived for a vessel the size of a small moon . Further, calcs derived from the 40K novel Sabbat Martyr gives an Imperial capital ship an acceleration on the order of 80

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="29" id="2920232"]Its a good game. But i prefer Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War (the first one, not the sequel), although theyre basically the same, CoH does have things like suppresion fire, which makes it bit more tactical.[/quote] I'd like to point out that Dawn of War I+Xpacks is nothing like Company of Heroes+Xpacks. In fact, none of the DoW1 titles are remotely similar to any of the CoH titles. Dawn of War 2 on the other hand, it&

EVE was most definitely not the first to call large and extremely powerful warships "titans". Also, there's no "Sins of the Capsuleers" mod. But there is a "Sins of New Eden" mod.

S-Thread Boosters were used to create stabaized routes through area where none could exist. Another one is the Byss Run. I used the atlas to calulate the distance. Endor to Sullust = 5.5 map squares. SW Galaxy = 20 Map squares wide. SW Galaxy Width = 120,000 Lys. 120,000/20 = 6000 6000*5.5 = 33000. All reference books state the Fleet left from Sullust.[/quote] <p

Their speed might enable them to close the distance with lrm's quickly and might not be targetable
