Just decided to give the thread a bit more of an explanatory title....the old was was rather vague.
I'm pretty sure no game to date is 4D as that many dimensions is beyond our feeble fleshling brain's ability to comprehend. But in all seriousness I'm going to assume what you mean is 3D movement. Sins has it, but it's so poorly implemented it's more of an exploit then anything else. It would certainly be refreshing to have meaningful three dimensional movement, but sadly I think sins isn't quite the game for it. There's already so much to

Frigates can overpower titans for the first level or two. Honestly I'd just like to see something along the lines of: -Increase exp required for each titan levelup by maybe 40-50% -Increase exp granted for killing titans by 40-50%(basically just means that frigates & cap ships become less efficient at leveling up titan. Also increases the risk of rushing a titan since if the enemy kills it, more exp for their capitalships)

Exactly, that's why I always make sure to upgrade the ragnarovs phase missiles....[/quote] Well I suppose not every faction gets a weapon that on average increases damage by 66-99%(depending on enemy shield mitigation). Most factions have to settle for max weapon upgrades of 30%.
A bit more information on the enemy fleet would be useful(what was with the coronata? And what does your fleet composition look like(whichc apitalships do you choose and what frigates accompany your fleet?) Honestly the Coronata does have a -damage aura, but beyond that it's no more resilient then any other titan(the titans with repair/shield restore abilities are generally harder to kill). If you're having problems killing it, it's likely either because of t
[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="9" id="3219769"] quoting post I love to play as VR, but everyone hates on them, and I'll admit that 27k for a SB is OP, and moving it with your titan is even worse. So can you buff others, or nerf VR so I can play them without people hating on me for it? Do the devs feel it's a problem is the question... The whole balance issue would dry up if the star base was limited to jumping to planets
Unfortunately I doubt it's price will drop son. It's still pretty soon after release, and frankly I don't think your assessment on it's worth is as empirical as you seem to think.

That said, "worth" is entirely subjective and I understand if the new content isn't worth the cost for you , but understand that for plenty of others it is as your particular sense of value doesn'

I should probably mention that I haven't tested exhaustively different weapon types yet yet, nor have I run numbers to be sure that ".2 ChanceToIgnoreShieldsAsDamageTarget" modifier used actually translates into 20% bypass chance(I've just assumes). This would be a rather odd behavior as we know the negative value of this modifier, phase missile blocking is a multiplicative modifer(IE 20% PMB= "-.2 ChanceToIgnoreShieldsAsDamageTarget" reduces a fully teched 30%

I'd been meaning to run some tests on The Stilakus Subverter ever since the Fiasco with Advent culture techs causing all weapons to have a shield bypass chance since Shield disruption uses the same modifer and syntax as the bugged version of the advent culture techs. Tonight I finally got around to it and lo & behold I was right. Shield Disruption gives ALL weapon types 20% shield bypass chance- not just phase missiles. Guess what ju
