Reply to Was Rebellion pushed out and why? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Most games have bugs and errors and overpowered strategies, and it makes more sense to release it and let the public find a lot of them instead of having to spend those same amounts of dedicated hours having to pay people to find them. Mind you they do hunt for them, but there is economy of scale and it is far cheaper for everyone involved for it to be released before it is perfect and just plan to patch it up as needed afterwards. Sins has a good record of patches and support. [e dig

Reply to Titan death un-impressive in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Titans should not have a sort of ability when they die, simply because Titans never really die and come back at the same levels. Killing a Titan should not punish whoever killed it because of this. If that were changed...then we can talk. As for the graphic...ah well you never know....there are patches and mods...

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="65" id="3191693"]From Wikipedia, under the heading "Incendiary Ammo": "Incendiary projectiles, in particular those intended for armor penetration, are more effective if they explode after penetrating a surface layer, such that they explode inside the target. Additionally, targets with onboard electronics or computers can be damaged by metal fragments when they explode on the surface. Ignition is often delayed by varying means until after impact."

Reply to A few questions about scouts in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Right clicking the "scout" ability will set it to auto, so each new planet it arrives it, it will choose another to explore. Scouts seem to have a priority to scout the planets closest to your empire. Say your starting, all you have is your HW. There are three connecting phase lanes, to planets unknown A, B, and C. Sending one scout, he is going to pick one of the planets (say A), and then return to your HW to scout B and C, unless A happens to have a phase lane connection to B or C,

This is even more problematic since it has a long-term impact - you cannot undo supply upgrades. So the problem really is that there exists no cost-effective way to destroy the orky
