Reply to Would it be possible to force players to leave picket forces at their planets? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

i've generally found that it's almost always better to concentrate all ships in one mass in sins rather than distribute them throughout your empire. splitting fleets is just not practical because of the limited hotkeys (making it impossible to manage different types of ships in two fleets) and the buggy "fleet" mechanic, as well as the fact that the cost to have sufficient units for that is prohibitive

the rapture vertigo autocast will cast on any strikecraft squad that comes across it, wasting antimatter and recharge time, even if there are frigates in the same vicinity. imo it should only fire on strikecraft when they're in a certain number, say, 10. also, manual targeting on sc should be enabled (it currently isn't)

this is what i don't like about the game mechanics. the weapon graphics aren't completely consistent with the actual meta damage. it would be nice if the effects and projectiles were actually real objects

Reply to What's Your Favorite Race? in Everything Else Sins Forums

advent/vasari i find vasari a lot easier to play most of the time. assailants and phase missiles are available at tier 1, and scramble bombers/repair cloud and phase missile strikecraft is nice. later on, there's overseers and subverters, and phase stabilizers. i also like enslaved labor. whereas with advent, i usually end up living on stupid tier 3 illuminators and/or carriers that cost a fortune, until i can make the stretch to tier 5 and destras

Reply to So what should be in the new expansion? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

sins does need a more intuitive and efficient fleet division system. as it stands i almost never bother to divide my forces because a) it's usually more effective to overwhelm enemies with a single large fleet (more of a balance issue) and b) hotkeys are inadequate for managing multiple diverse fleets, and the fleet mechanic is absurdly buggy; ships join fleets without being asked to and passively move to "reform fleet" which ruins any positioning i've set up.

Reply to Why is everybody such an ass online ? in Multiplayer Organizer Sins Forums

[quote who="ColeTahn" reply="4" id="2829032"]Well, since i have a busy life i don't know anyone in this game and don't have the time to wait forever for a "normal" game so start. The faster game mode is boring as hell. The one thing i appreciated most in this game is the game speed so you have time to watch your ships fight and so on. [/quote] this makes no sense, if you don't even have time to wait for a game how can you play on normal game speed, which is ridiculously long?<

judging from the fleet size upgrade names, they breed/clone crew members and directly impress information into their brains to speed up training
