hmm tried to add this to my previous reply, but was too late. illuminators also received a ~20% buff to survivability. basically against the target being focus fired (FF is extremely significant). they do 256% more damage to the jav being focus fired and have 20% more survivability than they used to. they do 44% more damage to the heavy/cap being focus fired and have 20% more survivability than they used to. they do 288% more damage to the light frigs being focus fi

[quote]Nice advent buffs there. I was hoping for some advent skill tree changes or at least making culture have a more desirable effect.Buffs?I could be wrong but I don't see how illums will have any use compared to the others lrms now.Sure they have 18 dps instead of 15.6, 10 on the front beam (compared to 11 for javs, 13 for assailants, but assailants get awesome phase missiles.).But they are mil 3.But they cost a ton of crystal, and resources in general.But now they no longer do 100% to heavy

theres a lot of info missing from the tooltips/infocards and the tooltips/infocards are misleading in many cases. anyway just something you might find hard to answer (the rest of the info is across the forum): capital ship abilities are only 75% as effective vs capital ships, this is in regards to what you observed with disintregtration.

[quote]megavolt is correct, queue two ships and watch them pop out of the two factories.Did you just say each ship will come out of each of the two factories?Also, that is not what megavolt said. It sounded like megavolt implied that the ship production rate (per ship) does not increase despite having multiple factories. I'm not sure if he's right on that one.Each ship seems to come out a much much faster rate.[/quote] what I said is exactly what megavolt was implying, I was implying

about disruptive strikes: kortul is as slow as a sova, so if the sova is being microed to continue circling the kortul will barely ever get any hits in and barely deplete the AM. yes it can catch up if you send it to the right spot and the opponent doesn't change his direction or when the sova is changing angles, but each time it catches up it will only be able to fire several shots (not all of its weapons work with disruptive strikes) that actually have a 30% chance to deplete 8/12 AM

Reply to Infocard /ui improvements in Sins Modding Sins Forums

infocards show incorrect damage data and ignore the biggest elements when it comes to damage/armour. I only read this thread since I thought you meant to improve the infocards to actually show damage/armour info correctly. type of armour: can use colour on the armour amount to symbolize type or add a little icon next to armour that has at most two letters, e.g. VL - verylight, L light. type of weapon damage: can use colour on the dps amount to symbolize type, e.g. brigh

accuracy only influence the chance of ships to hit capital ships, fighters and bombers and is set as 100% to capital ships. The buff helps fighters and flaks attack bombers/fighters or helps in the case of a few select things in the game which reduce the accuracy of a fleet against capitals/fighters/bombers. [quote] To me the best use for this is to have ships that aren't meant to hit strike craft have a chance to hit them, and usually if a capital ship can hit a strike cra

creates up to 30 additional fighters (might be fighters and bombers or only fighters, I forgot) that are added to your own squads. basically the squad size of your bombers/fighters will increase by a specific amount, I havent seen it spawn new squads, but I guess if you have only 0 existing squads it might create a new squad or two.

we actually discussed this over a month ago and theres numerous replays that I made across the forum, the one scout that does excel above the rest is the seeker. However if it isnt an early rush(first ~15-~30 minutes), flaks/fighters are a better option.

After reading my previous post I could see a few things that I should correct, like writing "8 javs died" and "20 disciples died", instead of "dead". I hope they fix the editing functionality at some point. [MAGOG]Kruelgor: check the second replay in my previous post (#87), it will amaze you and possibly shock you at the same time.

disciples do win if theres a ratio of 2 to 1, however thats unlikely and could only occur if the advent player invades with disciples within ~15 minutes of the game start, barely giving the opponent time to accumulate javs while the opponent spent resources on tech/labs and if the disciple player only went disciples, ignored labs completely..etc would only work well if the jav player has 0 defense. costs: a jav costs ~1.2 to ~1.43 times more than a disciple (fluctuates based on market p
