Reply to Underpowered Starbases in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

the problem with the vasari starbase moving is that it is unfair, it is unbalanced. why should it be allowed to fullfil its purpose, but the other two not? and besides, we dont want a death star because we dont want a super death machine. to rectify this, i have a few suggestions: a) give advent/TEC starbases longer range b) instead of saying that the vasari starbase must move because it is their only anti-structure weapon, simply GIVE THEM A TORPEDO CRUI

1. nay, vasari should remain unique, the starbases need a range buff, not movement (or a way to force combat, like 2) 2. aye 3. aye 4. aye, absolutely. that was the whole point of entrenchment! 5. nay, unnecessary, especially if 4 is enacted 6. nay, again, unnecessary (esp with planetary gov upgrade, assuming its fixed) 7. nay, too hard to beat with 4 8. nay, that makes them uber-capital ships. our current capital ships should just be bu

probably a mod. or maybe a typo. anyway, i had a 12 hour game on twin empires as vasari. about 8 hours in, i had about 10 planets, and another vasari (my ally) had about 25 (i like to turtle). also, the last surviving AI, as advent, had about 1500 fleet supply at one planet on my border. my fleet supply was maxed, and i sent everything i had against the advent, who, after losing half their fleet, retreated, and i gave chase with half my fleet. we ended up in a gravity well with most o

Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. <

no, actually i believe that the advent story was my idea, seeing as how i came up with it three years ago!! seriously, why does it matter who came up with it first? although i have not read either of them (yet), i am sure they will both be very good. besides, having multiple stories allows us to combine the best of both and create one uber-good story

Reply to Supply lines in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

i think that supply ships make a lot of sense, both logically and as a game mechanic. if you were in command of a deep strike mission, wouldnt you bring resupply ships along with you? its also probably a lot easier to create. i have absolutely no modding experience, so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt, but it seems to me that it would be a lot simpler to take Tkins' idea than create a entirely new culture-like thing. however, it would work better if the resupply ship were a separa
