Reply to How to counter early-game Bomber spam. in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote who="Swordsalmon" reply="1" id="2546287"]The best bet is using massed LF. They're the only early-game unit capable of killing flak quickly, and SC don't get damage bonses against them. Also, having a carrier cap would be extremely helpful. Build Fighters and micromanage them away from the flak, but towards the bombers (Which are presumably attacking your carrier cap).[/quote] massed lf early on still not quite effective; destroying a carrier DOES NOT destroying its bomber insta

[quote who="SageWon" reply="8" id="2518415"] Quoting Magnnus, reply 4I'm assuming cruel and vicious cheat. Is this assumption correct? Yeah, they cheat too. IMO, they get an almost ridiculous multiple of our 'income' (taxes & resources). Vicious gets 5 times, and cruel gets 4 times our 'income'! Just start a game with each of the AIs, quit after a few seconds, then look at the "Total From" graphs for income, metal and crystal - th

Reply to Pirates Still Not Right in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

[quote who="Mippy" reply="31" id="2546864"]the only problem I have with the pirates, is that they scale up to such an insane degree. my game is slowing down, it's not just the pirates but they are becoming quite a problem. because the last pirate base is impossible to attack. there are hundreds of pirate ships that have returned from raids, and are just sitting around this base. how can I defeat hundreds of pirate ships, that are superior in every way to my own ships. I can fight off any raid

Reply to Pirate Bug in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="7" id="2529615"] Wiping out the pirate base in the late game should be a viable strategic option, in my opinion. Which it is, and is still a bit too easy. For all their buffs, the only way they end up with more ships at their base is returning successful raids. Even though their base gauss turrets got buffed, they still won't hold up to a mid/late-game fleet, especially since there will most always be very few ships to kill in their grav well.[/quote]<

Reply to Pirate Dilemma in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="19" id="2534404"]Well, part of the problem is that they don't scale up evenly at the moment. They tend to go all out weapon upgrades, or hp upgrades, armor upgrades, etc. The new system will keep their upgrades more even so that overall they grow in ability as time passes and not just go insane with power.

Reply to Advent Communal Labor in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="3" id="2534662"]As I said, build times aren't that big a deal. I don't consider it a major disadvantage for Advent at all. The real disadvantage for Advent is that they don't have any good economic techs in the 4-7 lab level. As a result, mid-game economic booming is a real dead-zone for Advent. Their only real option in that stage of the game is to trade port spam, something the other factions can both do just as well if not better. <b
