Reply to Carriers overpowered? in Strategy Sins Forums

yilmael you havent? it will take you under 15-35 seconds (matters what direction its heading) to kill a level 10 cap (if the cap has no anti-fighter abilities) with 40 bombers, even if he has 35+ flaks the cap will die, then you can just kill a few buildings (most likely you can find a building away from the flaks) and retreat, greatest harassment method there is and makes many human opponents quit. however an all out carrier fleet is not so good in direct battles (maybe why th

Reply to Why don't pirates launch their attack at time = zero? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

would be nice, especially since sometimes we can continue bidding for over 2 minutes after it hit 0 before the pirates decided who to attack (sword), think its based on the last bid and some random variable.

Well its extremely misleading, e.g. 100 advent bomber squads actually do 1780 damage, not 2100. A difference of ~20%.

Reply to So.. what are Vasari about? in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote] I found that the missiles bypassing shields was not as useful as I thought it would be, even with 7 or 8 frigates, since their bomber swarms only have 3, compared to the advents 7 or 8.And finally, that cost reducing upgrade was so expensive to reach 2/2, and for only an 8% reduction, that I don't even know if I broke even. Combine this with the fact that their ships cost so much, you'll usually only be attacking planets with your cap ship and 4 frigs. After the first ba

dps real/integer question? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

atm the dps is displayed in integers, however based on calculations its easy to see that the numbers are double/float. Im just wondering if they are converted to integers just for display purposes and the game uses the real values, or if the game actually uses the integers?

Reply to Returning Armada: The end all of team games? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

FFA: Its quite easy to get returning armada in ffa games (locked teams, so no backstabbing) , even in small FFA games I can usually get it within 55 minutes of the game start (with only 4-5 planets). Most people don't know your going for it until you put a few phase stabilizers up and by then you can be 10-12 minutes away from getting it and instead they focus on the enemy which is actually a threat (usually attacking them at some point) and in ffa games barely anyone attacks the person with

Reply to Ships turning on the spot in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

getting stuck is funny and something you usually dont expect. In a recent game my enemy actually put his cap beside my cap and it got stuck between the planet and his cap, took like 12-15 seconds to somehow push through and it died.

And what do you mean "bring reinforcements directly to your location"?

Reply to Vasari vs LRM in Strategy Sins Forums

ye vasari are much weaker in early game than their counterparts (matters which map, on maps with many capture able resources not so much, but on maps with none they have a disadvantage), but once they have a few phase stabilizers up and dark armada (can be done within an hour or so, with only 4-5 planets) they start to really shine.
