Wow, a lively discussion here! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [quote who="Seleuceia" reply="20" id="3217762"]I do not like wail affecting neighboring planets...all these propositions: targetting only friendly wells, doing damage over time, targetting a single entity etc etc either don't solve the overlapping problem or nerf it too hard.... As long as wail can target any planets next to it, you still have wail overlapping....and if you have a s

Dealing with an maxed out Orky takes time... even with dozens of bomber wings.. Far worse... as the damm thing can move - and at an rather impressive speed for its size - you just cant wait on your jump in point, even if it is out of turret range. You have to start flying away from it.... Running away from it AND avoiding the turrets is often very difficult.... if not impossible. And your fleet might end you up on the wrong si

[quote quoting="post"] Okay people. I'm aware that I might have annoyed a few people here and there in the forums (yes, I know, an understatement) with my prolific pony pic posting. Therefore, I pledge to restrict my pony pics to the "Everything Else" section of the forums. Will this make people happier? [/quote] Yes.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="5" id="3217675"]Well, first of all the missile platform could do that way before titans were around. Second, as the missile platform cannot move, just don't use your titan to destroy them. Let your frigates do the work. A pathetic missile platform should IMHO not be capable of doing that! Not to mention that by using phase missiles, this may be the only defense turret that remains useful in late game. Al

[quote who="candido-" reply="16" id="3217411"]I have to say that I am in a minority on Wail. I myself mostly play TEC, and I therefore do not play with Wail. I play against Wail. At first, I found it totally overwhelming. But now I have adapted strategies and compensations, and I find that Wail, though certainly powerful, adds an extra dimension of strategy to the game. You can't just "make a huge fleet and kill everyone". You have to think more, you have to anticipate more, most of the n

[quote who="Senza32" reply="26" id="3217492"].... On the subject of Orkies, I think the devs did indeed take a step in the right direction, but something has been bugging me. Why is it that the Vasari starbases are the best in terms of armament/ armor/ etc? They can already move, which is untrue of the other two starbases, so why are they made even better by giving them all these ridiculously powerful upgrades? I think that the TEC/ Advent starbases deserve a huge buff. because the

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="8" id="3217226"]Maybe there's a misunderstanding...for me, "warning" is an effect (particle and/or sound, but preferably both) that indicates an ability is being used...for example, when an SB uses RB, there is a short delay time and a particle effect....granted, if you aren't looking at the gravity well you won't see, but if you aren't paying attention, your loss... Again, I'm coming from the mindset that wail should only affect th

REVEAL THEIR NAMES PLEASE The solution to this problem is not to remove/limit pausing that affects the 99% of players who don't abuse this....the solution is to make everyone aware of specifically who does...then players/hosts can choose to avoid playing with those trolls that ruin the game...

A very good patch! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] What I like most: [e digicons]:D[/e] The humbled Coronata is back! And this time she means business! Until now, she had little answer to an Eradica microwaving your fleet. But not anymore! Now she strikes back with vengeance! <span style="color: #00fff

[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="6" id="3215710"]... In other news, Wail of the Sacrifice (which should probably be completely removed from the game) wasn't nerfed either.[/quote] Removal is not an option. Balancing it is not exactly easy... I will admit that. [quote who="Seleuceia" reply="23" id="3215941"] Quoting GoaFan77, reply 17A better way I think is to not attack with your whole fleet at once. Because the time to set u

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="2" id="3213340"]I think ten years from now it will be like the movie "Fanboys" where fans broke into Lucas Studios to preview the new Star Wars sequel. It's possible that Strardock and Ironclad will have forgotten about Sins II by then and be busy with the latest greatest thing of the minute instead and will be sipping mint juleps on their verandas. One by one, they'll be surprised by night camouflaged figures who knoc

[quote who="XATHOS" reply="43" id="3212566"]I usually play on 10x10 maps on SupCom. Sometimes 20x20. Oh,a and the game was developed the same kind as Sins was. It has no support for more than one core. There are only tools to aid in the thread processing.[/quote] Actually that is not true. I participated in the BETA for Sup Com 1. They demanded a dual core system back then. The issue with Sup Com 1 is that it was their firs

It should be noted that Sup Com 1 suffers from poor multi core programming. That was indeed adressed with Sup Com 2, but as mentioned before, the far smaller scale of sup com 2 ruins most of th point. Largest Map size in Sup Com 2: Arround 13X13 KM Largest Map size in sup Com 1: 81X81 So for all of you people wishing for multi core support for Sins... wish for good multi core support ins

Thanks Quoting ARESIV, reply 382Although it is somewhat pity that you cant see the current status of them. How many of them are build or how powerful they are currently.
