wow I've never seen 250 squads, seen over 90, but never 250. must be quite nice to zoom in and see them kill a cap in one run.

Reply to Broadcast centres and research stations in Strategy Sins Forums

okay I made a mistake there, but the cap isnt 10% per jump, it just starts you off as 10% per jump, but can increase by 10% through culture. e.g. 3 jumps away can become 80% from 70%. so his outer worlds are basically 25%+10% from culture.

Reply to Broadcast centres and research stations in Strategy Sins Forums

Yep culture does increase allegiance. All non homeworld planets can get to 100% (doesnt matter what distance as long as influence has been around for some time), the homeworld can be 110% and with the advent tech 110% for all non homeworld planets and 120% for homeworld.

Reply to Fighters vs. Flak - Imbalance? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

the info in this thread about damage and armour types is incorrect (most likely extremely out of date), based on the files the flak frigates have heavy armour, fighters do anti-light damage and going by the modifiers which you can see nicely in this spreadsheet. [link="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pcOvsvGOuzj52hJcEejsTZg"]WWW Link[/link] you can clearly see that fighters do 25% of their damage to antifighter(listed as heavy in their files) frigates.

Reply to Phase Missiles in Strategy Sins Forums

the advent ships have a lot more shields than hull (at least the majority, a few have more hull than shields) and in many cases they have ways to regen shields or share damage among themselves using special shields. In these cases phase missiles are quite good.

Phase jump inhibitor, doesnt have to be like beta, but make it alot more effective (especially if the enemy is jumping into your other systems) and the whole grav well.

info about armor from gameplay.constants file. in Strategy Sins Forums

found this in gameplay.constants HullPointPercentageIncreasePerArmorPoint 0.05 what this could mean is that: a ship with 0 armour and 1000 hull has 1000 ehp (effective hull points) a ship with 10 armour and 1000 hull has 1500 ehp. a ship with -6 armour and 1000 hull has 700 ehp.

when a planet gets to 0% allegiance it becomes neutral and this can take quite some time, since theres a cap of how fast the allegiance goes down.

oh I was referring to number 2 in skunker's post.

Reply to Strategies for Vasari & TEC? in Strategy Sins Forums

number 2 is the dominant way to win ffa's and the like even on small-medium maps. you only need 3-4 planets(not dead asteroids or the like) to successfully get returning armada/have and have enough logistic slots for a few media hubs and 2-3 military labs.

[quote] I also noticed something funny when I played the TEC, a Vasari fleet entered my system which had a phase inhibitor. As soon as it arrived my defenses attacked it. The fleet actually phase jumped in my gravity well. Has any one else seen this? Also I noticed that the PJI's radius is very small. Perhaps with the upgrades it could be made bigger. Will putting more than one PJIs, slow down a fleet more than one? Regards [/quo

only the homeworld can get to 110% without the advent tech, the rest stay at 100%, with the tech it goes up to 120%(homeworld)/110%.

Reply to Advent - Flipping homeworlds like pancakes in Strategy Sins Forums

this worked wonders on my first 2-3 days, but since then I've seen a lot of people who are smart about influence..etc, if you exclude the super weapons the advantage advent have overall across a longer game in spreading influence is tiny (assuming all players actually start making influence spreading buildings) and when including the super weapons some of the others are also quite good in damaging allegiance..etc, e.g. a smart tec player can instantly make you temporary lose ~30%-50% allegiance
