Here it is: "What if there is just one pursuer? A lab experiment gone awry? An ultimately powerful physic being, able to destroy planets and control trillions of people with ease? A nearly immortal vengeful creation, b

Heh Timmaigh. Sounds like you fall in the same trap as me sometimes. -Hm. I'm low on Crystal income and have some spare so I'll invest in a better tech there. While I'm at it I'll do some metal too. Could use some more credits so more population tech it is! -Hum de doo now the resources and credits are rolling! Though I could use some more. One more economy tech cant hurt. -Eh.

Welcome! My first question is if you have played a true 4X game before? You see Sins is a 4X game at heart, it is just in a continuous time mode, what most call RTS. Just to clarify 4X stand for Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate and this is what you do in Sins in that order. It plays much more like a standard turnbased 4X than a general RTS game. Yeah you can rush and do all usual RTS things if you like, it's just harder and not as effective. I'm tel

Reply to Major Bug: Research not affecting Cobalts in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

This is why I rarely research the tech for the frigates weapon. It's not worth it unless you go crazy with them and that usually doesn't work well to say the least. Edit: Been like this since the first Sins instalment. Gets more bang for your research cost weapon wise if you upgrade the weapon type that have a high value from the beginning. In fact this is true in most strategy and tactical games, percentages you know. :)

[quote who="Darksxx" reply="56" id="3117046"]You guys are missing the whole point of what beta testing is about. They are taking this one step at a time. They have a guideline on how they are going about testing the game and right now its not so much about balance. its more about compatibility and bug testing for the TEC faction. If they go opening up the other faction then the Devs will be all over the map trying to isolate bugs and issues. Right now the focus is TEC,

I'm still going with my initial thought that I got when watching the first Sins trailer for the first time. It was a Vasari Transport Lab that blew up. They was experimenting with a new transport technology most likely having to do with phase space. The new long range phase space...tunnel or something destabilised, exploded and created a expanding phase space rift that warps/disintegrates/phase out or something everything it gets into contact with. It's not something "
