Reply to Exploring: Worth it? in Strategy Sins Forums

Don't get confused between exploring the map (with scouts) vs exploring a planet for a potentail planet bonus (The ultimate being an artifact). Generally not worth it early on, but may be worth it if you have the credits and not enough things to spend them on :)

The game will only go as well as the worst rig since the game is simulated on ALL systems with the host syncing traffic... There are stickys on network - look for the one by The Monk, or read the FAQ page

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire v1.1 BETA Change Log in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]Oh, forgot to answer a question earlier about multiplayer: Those who opt into the v1.1 beta will be using a special ICO test server. You will only be able to play against other v1.1 beta users and will not be able to see/play against those using v1.05. After the final release of v1.1, everyone will be consolidated back onto one server.[/quote] Dumb question - how would you have the beta installed but still be able to play 1.05 as wel??? Since there may or may not be any

[quote]all looks good, except I still see no fix for carrier swarms in sight... that one issue seems only to be getting worse.[/quote] Not sure what this means - surely it just means you need more anti-fighter ships in your fleet AND/OR more fighters???

Reply to Thoughts on this tactic? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Yes - I can understand how that might work But these ones were just lined up duking it out as if they were cobalts/LRMS (or in this case disciples/illums) Made me wonder if there is some ability they have that I have missed or something... Because even though the yellow fleet was larger, it was getting chewed up by my ally

Can be worth it for TEC if you get the 4 logistic slot upgrade - can allow you to built a trade port there and maybe get a better longest route

Yes - but this wasn't TEC as the ships being used were Seekers - hence why I don't get it - I could understand someone rushing TEC 10 scouts PAST an opponents fleet to hit their infrastructure - but using seekers in a battle instead of some kind of frigate???

Reply to Noobs quitting - and why wouldn't they? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

One issue that possibly needs looking into is a way to declare a game a no contest so that it doesn't get counted in stats. Quite often people have to restart a game as someone lagged and dropped at the start or similar so a do over is called. But the stat can still count. Mini-Dumps make this harder too... So the following buttons are needed (remove Quit) Surrender - I loose the game, or choose to leave - counts as a loss. No Contest - requires everyone to agree (maybe only avai

[quote]Oh, and I'm 15.[/quote] That explains why I could hardly understand anything that was said - it was a complete ramble from one topic to another with to structure. The best I got was 1) Does anyone care about DRM 2) Has anyone campaigned against SPORE? I am interested in people who don't like it based on their creationism views. 3) What computer should I build since I want to play PC games Am I close???

Why shouldn't the first planet have those kinds of defenses??? It makes you earn such a valuable planet. And if you get lucky you only have 1 of the following Kodiak Krosov Garda LRM Cobalt Easy picking for a undamaged lvl 1 cap ship...

Reply to Stupid question, but... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It doesn't - only the tactical and logistics ones do Generally logistical will give you one extra (and only one) and each tactical upgrade will also give you one per upgrade, to get 4 (going on memory for the last bit).

Reply to Looking to pick up this game... in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Failing that, you can join a game that others are hosting. The only real benefit with hosting is that you can get some wins you wouldn't otherwise get due to being the last one in, or people quitting on you when you are beating them :) Just get the game - it is great!!!
