Reply to Rankulas, the clear winner of "Worst Piece of Garbage" award. in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Really some very nice discussion and observations here. Certainly most of everything said is on target, and nobody can make the case that the Rankulus is a great capital ship. Nevertheless, I will submit that it is one of Vasari's best options for first 10 to 20 min of the game. You make that ship and get those heal nanites going, and you will lose no ships in early game. You can crush a big neutral planet for XP (of course you can do that in other ways with scouts, colonizers, an

Very nice new guide! Congratulations! And thanks for it. Needs a hyperlink: " GoaFan's guide: 'Getting started with Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion' ." "No spamming, flaming, or capslock abuse." What are we supposed to do in the lobby in this case? " In most cases, there'll be 2 heavy cruisers, so 1 + 2 = 3 means you have to make 3 cannons really close to each other." I think you only need

I think we're a bit limited here on 3 axes. We need bigger thinking. I was thinking it would be cool if we could have in the game setup menu a user-specified N-dimensions game. OK?

Reply to In a serious game as the vasari would you.... in Strategy Sins Forums

1. The Subversion ability suffers greatly because you have to get your ship near to the planet to cast it. The Sova, on the other hand, can cast from far away and run around the gravity well, jumping out when needed. The Marauder has much less survival probability since it has to get in close to use Subversion. Nevertheless, if you want to take a risk, you can lead with the Maurauder and send in a starbase builder. If the enemy doesn't have a fleet, that sub

Reply to Bleed & Bows = enemy healing in LH Support Elemental Forums

I updated the file as you suggested, but bleed still gives healing instead of damage. C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\FE Legendary Heroes\data\English\CoreSpells.xml When does the CoreSpells.xml get read? During each battle or is it assigned to the hero on the upgrade? What I have done to test the change is to replay a battle from a save file; it seems the save file is now updating or reading the CoreSpells.xml. Could that be? &nbs

We can't really test out the beta version in the MP community yet. The changelog looks quite good. I hope that Psionic Scream could be evaluated, too, because I think there is a bug in the data file for corvettes, i.e., it can target them but it cannot damage them.

[BUG] Psionic Scream in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

In-game information says that Psionic Scream (Discord Capital Ship) says that it affects corvettes. Actually, it does not. I think the error is found in "BuffPsionicScreamTarget.entity", which requires an update to its 'targetFilter' to include corvettes. MOD'ers, did I get that right?

I've been playing the StarDrive game. I will say two things: (1) game has potential for sure and I am looking forward to the release; (2) I have put the beta into "storage" for time being. The main reason for #2 is really quite simply a user interface issue that I am really believing must be updated by release: a big part of the game is designing ships to counter enemy ships: you can partially zoom in on enemy ships to see what they have got but 'partially'

Outposts // bug or feature? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I make an outpost right next to my city. I upgrade its armory. This makes the outpost become part of the city. 1. As far as I can tell, the armory is then worthless. 1a. Units near the city (i.e., within 2 of outpost) do not get their bonus. This seems to be a BUG to me. Confirm? 1b. The armory shows up in the inventory list of the city. I have not had the AI attack my city so I do not know if the units in the city get the bonus. 1c. Because the

Reply to New Units Chart : Steamrobin_SoSE-Rebellion-UnitsChart.pdf in Strategy Sins Forums

Chart is visually very cool but does give some incorrect impressions. For example, fighters smoke corvettes and long range frigates. You wouldn't get that idea from the chart. Bombers smoke heavy cruisers. In your chart, if you look at bombers row, you do get the right idea. But if you look at heavy cruisers row, you get the wrong idea. And so on. Maybe update and correct?
