Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Diplomacy wish list in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

@Shadowhal: By Stances I mean the general attitude of your empire's government against each of the other empires and factions. It's a user-settable option. If player A sets its empire's stance (you can call it relationship) against player B as 'neutral' or 'peace', ships will not engage in combat on mere sight of player B ships. Additionally, the 'peace' stance tells the AI that it's OK to route trade ships through player B's planet nodes. With a trade alliance (implies

I have posted quite a few suggestions for a pirates overhaul which I believe fit in the 'Diplomacy' theme: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/351529 About the diplomacy with gaming factions, though, I haven't said anything. I will tell my ideas even if they have already been said, you should want to gauge the popularity of the ideas: One capital per star system. It could be researchable, and not as effective as the 'Empir

Reply to Admiral ship (super capital ship) in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

About the fleet admiral thing...[quote who="ReiverTA" reply="10" id="2227458"]Not terribly seeing the point of the Admiral ship in that sense, really. If you think about it, a truly epic game shouldn't end up resolving around a single powerful ship - it's far more satisfying to watch squads of capitals with fleets of support craft venture forth and Lay Down The Smackdown - the US had more than one battleship in WWII, afterall, and that's always been the sense of 'capital ship' that Sins gave

Reply to "Fleets" - How to make them useful in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

For example I would like to see a 'Fleet sub-warp speed' improvement, which would boost the fleet's speed. That would counter that slow-fleets-to-a-crawl-flying-at-the-slowest-ship's-speed effect while not being balance-breaking. The tech justification is simple: warp engines are altered to operate in a sub-warp power level, which in a single ship is not enough to make a difference, but the multiple sub-warp waves of the ships resonating cause a mild space-wave distortion (like

Reply to Capital ship leveling question in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="goodgimp" reply="10" id="2212423"] Quoting Phalnax811, reply 5 Yeah a really stupid (hopefully unintended) feature. I think it's intended. At the stage of the game where you have a L10 ship followed by lower level capital ships, it'd be safe to assume that you're dealing with fleets of substantial size. If the XP wasn't being split, you could level up a new cap ship insanely fast. IMO it would diminish the value of

Add ripple and push effect to TEC starbase red button explosion in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Since TEC's Starbase can explode and damage everyone around, it only makes sense to add a 'shock wave' postprocessing effect dilating from the starbase in a circular fashion. It would look nice. Besides the cosmetic effect, it should also push everything away from the explosion centre. Even sructures and starbases. The closer it is, the more it is pushed away.

Reply to Starting out with Empire: Total War in PC Gaming Sins Forums

"select everyone and click on the enemy" will hardly get you any victories on ANY Total War game. You really must use strategy. I read E:TW has even more combat features such as cover, haven't played it though. In Medieval, you could really thrash the enemy while outnumbered if you use the proper counters. setting pikemen to halt a cavalry charge, while flanking the enemy's archers with your own cavalry. If you really manage your batallions and use the terrain in your favor (charging uphill =
