Reply to Analysis of late-game Entrenchment Advent defenses in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

My view on this is that wile the synergy ablilty is cool and is decently effective, it is still not as effective as the tec gauss upgrades, (the ablilty to temporaily take away armor is a big "oh shit" for any of its targets). Even with a 50% boost to its damage output, the beam weapons can still be ingnored by the cap ships, even with a good setup. spaming the turrets with strikecraft and long rang ships duing the outset of the battle can still only be defeted by eather have

It installs that way so that if you have multiple users on one computer, another user wont beable to play your saved games or screw up your game with bad mods and what not. I know this isnt a issue with most players but there it is.

Reply to Strike Craft, what do you think? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

I think that cap carriers should start with 4 squads, then max out at 9 at level 10 (+1 squad every 2 levels) I also think that carriers should have very little offinsive firepower aginst most other ships, but be very effective aginst strike craft with much longer flak range than any other ship (better than it allready is). With Tec, take the flak abililty from the kol, give it to the carrier, and give the kol a diffrent battleshipy abililty. I'm thinking a consintrated firepower a

Yeah, when I first started playing the game, I thought that there were unlockables, thus a reason to have achievments. But after a few games, with me striveing to get a bunch achievments accomplished, I started looking around the menu for the unlockables, but there were none. Sence then, I always thought that the achevments were ment for a X-box 360 version of the game, but it never happend. Thanks for karma <a id="ctl00__Content__RepeaterReplies_ctl12__LinkUser" clas

Reply to Strike Craft, what do you think? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

A tactic that I have been useing (with tec) with fairly high success: In my fleets I usealy build my strike craft with a 2 fighter to 1 bomber ratio. More fighers to combat enemy fighers and the fact that they are harder to kill than bombers. This ensures that I will have some full squadrons thoughtout the battle. I will then group my bombers together and have them attack the same target at the same time for effectivness (usaly eneamy long

Reply to Credits Reset? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Ive tried a few times and cant seem to replicate the issue. Is it still a reoccuring problem? I might suggest a re-install to see if that fixes it. I know that there are some behind the scene progames on windows that can cause problems with games like some tax-prep programs, and that could possabley cause some problems, but I havent had any. Just some thoughts.

Reply to star base crew in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

That would be cool to have actual size and specs on each ship and strutures, (maybe a unlockable extras connected to the achivements for players to read after compleating each one, like in Battlestations: Midway). This would also give a real insentive to reach each achivement. You could also throw in a basic timeline/story line with it.

Reply to Credits Reset? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Are you building starbases? when you have your deep space consrtucters build a starbase, it wont take the resorses to build one till it starts, if you dont have enough credits when it reaches its building location, it will wait till you have enough, then automaticly take them out of the bank to build.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="4" id="2097413"]It's really easy to have diplomacy work in your favor.

Another idea I have been thinking about was a "hero captian or admrial" (or two or three) that you could transfer to whatever ship you wanted, and any ship fleeted with that ship would receve a bonus to it, (like 10% to everything: speed, fire power, shields and hull, whatever it can do. If you had more than one in a game, each hero would have a diffrent effect, like one would have a bonus to speed wile another had a bonus to fire power. Also I would think that they coul
