I only send the pirates to the non-ALs in very early game where it more of a hindrance than XP fest. Then I drop a starbase and my titan a jump away from the pirate base and soak up the XP no matter who they're raiding.
Yes, multiplayer would definitely solve the problem. But living in a regional/semi-rural area with only crappy over-priced mobile broadband being available, it kinda shoots that idea in the foot. Plus I usually restrict myself to Caps only plus 50 supply of non-Caps in game to give the AI a bit of advantage over me, just to make it interesting. But thanks for the replies guys, the info is most appreciated.
Hi all, One thing I've noticed since the update to 1.82 is that Advent Loyalists seems to always be the first AIs to be killed off completely in all the maps I'm played since the update. Even when I've set up AL to a 3:2 advantage over all the other AIs and I've been sending the pirates after the non-AL AI, the ALs still all seem to die off before any non-AL. Has any one else noticed this?
Thanks GoaFan77, Your help and feedback is greatly appreicated. I came up with this idea of a 'capital' class starbase (I consider the current starbases in the unmodded game to be 'crusier' class/level) while in between two lectures at Uni this morning and sufferingthe consqences from lack of sleep. <p
Hi All, I'm not sure if I should post this here , but here goes. I've a three part question here. Firstly, in terms of the game engine mechanics, are starbases limited to just one type/class of starbase per race? Secondly, if not, is the game engine capable of handling an entity metamorphisis? Finally, can a buildable entity be limited to specific area or terrain, like starting homeworld or terran worlds only?

Hi all, Just a small thing I've noticed with the AR titan is that once it's leveled up and taken the Unyielding Will ability, is that it no longer awards xp once it's finally destroyed (around 1200xp at this stage of the game). From what I can tell from the game mechanics is that the titan is treated as an invulnerabl

Thanks for the reply Yarlen. Minidumps, gamefiles and screen caps have been zipped and emailed to the rebellionsupport@ address Verified game file/cache at 100%. no errors. I was able to reload game from autosave files, but when saving it under a new filename, it corrupts that new savefile too and minidumps on reload. I can't delete the corrupted savefiles through the Manage Files panel on the Option menu. So I'm going to delete them manually, If that doesn'

My main savegame file has corrupted and caused minidumps whenever I tried to open at about the 8hr mark, and now the game will not allow me to delete the corrupted game file through the 'Manage Files' panel in the Options menu. Plus Steam client now seems to be conflicting with Sins-Reb by thinking the game is still running when it's not. it's even happened on a fresh boot-up of the Steam client and just shuting it straight back down again. I have the minidumps
There is a retail version sold here in Australia, through EB Games and other computer games retailers, I know I brought it, only cost $40 but it's worth it in my opinion and yes you still need steam to play it.

Great job so far, keep up the good work.

Argh, Ok, I stuffed up, lol, and being on the the tail-end of a 36 hr bout of insomnia didn't help at all. My most sincere apologies to anyone and everyone who tried to show me the short sightedness of above comments. But there is bug (and thankfully it's minor annoying one at that) with towing homing mines through wormholes and a lesser extent and extremely rarer occurrance phase lanes.

Lol, the Space Ponies are real, does that make Ironclad the Vasari? Oh, and a 40-hr single player campaign and in-game customisation of ships, now that has me interested already.

I have today. It like the AI just said "Screw the rule, I'm f*$# you over, you peon of a fleshbag". Now I may be a little out of standard setup of Diplomacy, but I thought only the Vasari had a minelayer unit that could put mines in neutral non-colonisible zones.

Ok I don't know if this has already been posted, but I seen on at least several different occasions that the Pirates have been killed off by AIs using only culture to do it, not the Advent superweapon, just the general Culture spread effect. It's pretty much like how a player uses their culture to flip a AI planet into a netral planet, but from some reason this only happens with AI culture, never with an actual players culture effect. In one weird case when playing the
