[quote who="Rovert10" reply="6" id="3341205"] Even then using the textures as a reference point isn't the best either. I doubt the textures are scaled that well.[/quote] As GoaFan said, in the end it is irrelevant. The only purpose of knowing these things is to satisfy curiosity. You could go around measuring each ship from its textures, or try to compare them all to the colony frigate after estimating its size from the intro video, whatever floats

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="4" id="3341198"] Quoting Pat_22_, reply 3I've calculated that the Radiance Battleship is about 4.5 km in length. There is no way you can get any calculation in the Sins universe that makes sense in real life. If the Radiance is 4.5 km long than by comparison the planets have a radius of just a few dozen km. All ships the capitalships in Sins would have to be hundreds of kilometers long to make the scale with the planets make sense, yet t

Reply to How big is the Ragnarov Titan really? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

It's hard to tell as all capital ships seem to have varying sizes. I've calculated that the Radiance Battleship is about 4.5 km in length. The Eradica is about four times as tall as the Radiance is long which puts it at almost 20km height. If all Titans have approximately the same size, they're all between 15 to 25km in their longest dimension. That would make the Ragnarov a 20km long rail cannon. But as I've said, all capital ships seem different. The

Also a fear of cheesy, abusive tactics that might be employed by overcompetitive players who would go to any length simply to win a game rather than play a game. Like Corvette spam before the nerf or other such strategies I'm currently blissfully unaware of.

Er... I'm sort of afraid. I've played online with my brother, friends I know off the internet, and other friends I know from the internet. I'm better than all of them to varying degrees which might suggest I'd do well online, but when I look at the mistakes they make I tell myself they're just really bad and there's no way the other online players can be that bad. Basically I'm the king of my little kingdom of friends and I hesitate to join t

Counters to Wail? Don't make a frontline on an Advent Rebel where he has high population planets. Either take them from him early game or stay away from them. Don't leave your ships near his high population planets Send in your Titan and/or cap ships to destroy the temple of communion which is required to trigger the ability. Fire at the planet from which the Wail will be triggered with the Kostura cannon, it will disable the temple of communion.<
