Reply to Small Complaint in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

if thats a design attempt by the dev's then I am kind of angry, I thought it was just that the random map maker was currently FUBAR, and they said that too. As a design Idea I frankly HATE HATE HATE it. Its silly your playing on a huge map for a reason... cramping them all into one system defeats the entire point of it. Just as well play on a medium map or even small, since you will likely just kill them off. Frankly it will go FASTER since the AI will never leave the system bu

I think we are all aware of that, and if you read a little more carefully you would see that I (and I don't think anyone who has posted in this thread) are looking for an 'uber-defense' that would be absolutely stupid. I was unaware that fighters intercepted LRM, that does change things a bit, and yes I'm aware the intention of not having weapons that reach the edge of the Grav well... even though they have a weapon which does that quite effectively already and even though currently if

This could be present with one of the broadcast towers upgrade, they could exactly like trade stations, in that the liners go from tower to tower, this makes you a little money but more importantly would spread culture faster. Twould be nice.

New words get coined all the time, but they usually are new forms of old words such as Truthiness, not a shortening or cut of a perfectly reasonable word. No Its not a common shortening, or at least I don't believe you based on my own experience, which of course differs from you. Maybe you visit forums of hottentot-word butchers and it is common slang. At any rate, I wasn't trying to make it an issue, as much as just mention it in passing. So can we drop it yet? Heheh

Ron, as usual you cut to the quick and miss the point. It was the only word he cut down, and its not typical or a word which normally gets cut down... more importantly it sounds weird... Imba... reminds me of Scuba Say Scuba its weird (Venture Brothers Joke)

I just want ONE count em ONE ship between the Kodiak and the Capital Ship... I would prefer calling it a Destroyer... many space games have broken the nomenclature rules before... but whatever, we can call it the Battle Cruiser.... Just One...

Reply to Research - forcing diversification in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I would make the effects cost and research of weapon techs do this, but not much else... that way you could get a clear distinction between he who has a focus on lasers or missiles... etc. But Im mostly pleased as is.

this is why in my original posts, I mentioned that I only wanted 1 New ship.... I wanted an odd ball ship called destroyer... now we have a discussion about a whole new class of ships... Why are you people so stuck on the naval terms, different navies have had different terms you know.

Reply to Minefields in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Not to mention the fact that phase lanes have a limited entry area, and thereby a limited quantified space where ships must be.... Yeah you could totally mine that, space, water, or land, you just need an area that is limited that the enemy will be on. Phase Lanes are essentially bridges... you can mine a bridge you can mine a phase lane entrance. Besides, they would just be missiles turned off and waiting for target, they don't need to wait for you to bump into them! They can

Your right it would prevent no damage skirting around, except that most of the time your ships will be in range of Gauss when they come in anyways, they just fly away fast enough... that is also why the Missile Turret like I said, would have low dammage. I think Anataar1 also had a good idea. You didnt explain how those two things don't work together? Missile Turret weak dammage protects Gauss cannons, and if guarded properly will give dammage to phase in ships, H

Okay first off... Why write such a nice post and use good vocabulary but refuse to fully write imballanced. It makes me so angry to read such a stupid cut-down of the word. At least at a period to it for the gods sake's! That being said, i'm not asking you to stop, I just can't stand not saying something about it! Okay, well when i said it wasn't needed, I didn't mean it couldn't serve a unique and useful role, just that currently we have the tools for defenses that work about as well a

Turtuling shouldn't be thought of as just a defensive strategy Vandenburg, like Osiris stated, defensive play should be rewarded at times! What Turtling really represents is the ability to win the game solely defensively, or at least achieve such a stupified stalemate without any offensive operations...this is really not possible in Sins, it is possible in Supreme Commander, but only against very bad opponents, the offense has the advantage in both games, and in just about every other.<

Notably for visual design something like a smaller Nostromo from Aliens the movie, would proabbly work well, it has a Kol-ish design fram, it would be thinner, and probably have the same design for the engine block. though I wouldn't mind something like the Conquest Frontier Wars ship from their intro movie (was it called the andromeda?)

That is a solution, but I really just never cared for the naval nomenclature enough. It has always varied too much from era to era. The term 'Dreadnought' for example... oh my has that been confused. Honestly I think most of the Support ships should still be called Frigates, the Kodiak should be called a Cruiser with the Light Carrier.

Yes they are; what he is reffering to is the fact that most cruisers are a support role; which carry the perception of being not powerful deadly ships of war like real life cruisers are. The Kodiak is the only pure bred Combat Cruiser... the Light Carrier just isnt pure-bred but it is also a 'good' or rather 'combat oriented' cruiser. At any rate... give me my destroyer and have it be bigger than cruisers. Its space the nomenclature can be different.
