Reply to TEC: How do I master this faction? in Strategy Sins Forums

Uhmmm excuse me but your argument above, Sareth, seems a little biased. For the Radiance example you clearly describe a battle against a clever opponent (moving caps away from detonate AM, kiting etc) and yet for the Kol battle you describe it as if playing against a retard. No clever player is going to focus fire on a lvl6+ Kol and certainly not anything lower. There is no point doing so. The opponent is going to blast the hell out of those LRMs and then giggle at the Kol's attempt to do

Reply to Fleet Supply and Population in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I agree with above, an interesting idea. Certainly would change the way raids are done. But I also doubt the Devs will go for it. There is a reason the current system is in place and I doubt they will want to rock the boat that much.

Reply to A.I and Diplomacy in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

This game doesn't have a track record of bugs. I've been playing now for around a year or so and worked with the Beta of 1.2 before it came out. There are a few minor issues like every game but these guys have been very good with listening to the community and fixing issues (including some balance stuff). The fact that this game is a couple of years old and still receives patches is proof of that.

Reply to Sins needs a change in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="69" id="2917014"]Here's an idea...what if we incorporated a 6th capital ship for each faction called the Flying Spaghetti Monster...this capital ship could be used as a means to balance the game considerably.... For one, all 3 factions would have the same Spaghetti Monster...this way, no faction would have any advantage over an other... Then, in order to foster more fleet diversity, the Spaghetti Monster would have a new type of damage c

Reply to Best size/#players/#planets for no slow down in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I usually play 3-4 AIs on a medium sized map (somewhere between 30-60 'planets') and can play for over 10 hours on highest settings with BailKnights graphic mod with little or no lag. The new patch 1.2 has helped this a lot. Also, running few other programs can do wonders. It depends on what your specs are tho.

1.2 Feedback in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

The Setting: 2-3 hour game 2v2 on Fulcrum. 3 AIs and me, all AIs ended up TEC and I chose Advent. Pirates were great as I have said in the change log thread. Much better balanced. AIs bidded on each other once I nudged them which was realistic and fun. Enemy team relations fell apart half way through which was a surprise but still made it a great game as it felt so random and realistic. However, as we all know it wasn't very random and AIs just don't get along very well. Ma

I liked the idea of Mass Disorientation being added to the Deliverance Engine [e digicons]}:)[/e] Only if Kostura went back to pre-nerf tho lol and the Novalith would need a slight buff in response as well.

[quote who="rowanlad" reply="123" id="2906655"]It would require a massive re-write and would never return on such an investment.[/quote] This is why. Its going to take far too long and is far too much an investment in an aging engine. They wouldn't make enough money for them to do so. We are very lucky they are still paying attention to Sins at all, let alone a stand alone expansion.

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion Pre-Orders Begin in Sins News Sins Forums

^ Thank you Pbhead. The Devs have been extremely clear on this. Its not worth their time and effort at this moment. It would require a massive re-write and would never return on such an investment. However, the recent 1.2 patch for Diplomacy has done wonders for lag. You will notice significant changes to the load times, FPS, and general smoothness of the entire game. It is a massive improvement. Not just a few seconds less in load times, but a serious upgrade.<

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire - Trinity/Diplomacy - v1.2 BETA Changelog in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Those refinery threads are very interesting. I have rarely used them due to the community's consensus that they arn't worth it... however those figures showed something else (in certain circumstances). Cykur, you seem to have looked at this in depth, how many mines does it take for you to consider a refinery? (Assuming mid-sized game, longer than 2 hours, where refinery tech is already researched, i.e. no tech amortization).
