Reply to Graphic Representation of Sins Counter System in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote who="Twilight_Storm" reply="12" id="2580027"]Correct me if I'm wrong, then, but would all this not make a fleet of LF/LRF/Light Carriers w/ fighters technically un-counterable in reasonably even numbered battles? LRF is core, Fighters protect LRF, LF kill Flak, which is the greatest threat. Just curious. -Twilight Storm[/quote] Invincible?not if u can redirect their targets ; 1.a 50%-50% fighter bomber combo vs a 100% fighter in this cas

[quote]Just for the sake of argument, I tried your suggestion... I put around 2000 bounty on 2 AIs just before bidding started. I end up with 2500 on me. However, thanks to that large lump sum, I was able to easily verify who put it on me. It was a 3rd AI that had zero bounty on them! And he cashed in a pile of resources to make that bounty, too.[/quote] 2000 don't work?tell me the AIs difficulty level and the game time when this happens for not worked out.i

Reply to Overwhelming Pirates. in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote quoting="post"] I'm having trouble with pirates. I'm relatively new to Sins, and each of the games I have played involved the pirates becoming a kind of superweapon. Their offensive force is powerful enough to demand the attention of my entire fleet, and by the time I build up a decent sized fleet the pirates often have several hundred ships in their primary base. What is the best way for each race to defeat the massive pirate defense fleet? [/quote] <
