Reply to Titan keeps on shooting a target that's already dead? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

It's all down to the fire delay between weapons. There's some 16 ralguns pointing forward, 12 to each side, and 8 aft. But the delay is somthing like 1 second between guns. Which means your looking at over a quater minute per cycle. Really all thats needed is to reduce tha delay to somthing more resonable. Most ships that have a really large number of guns of one type pointing in one direction have a fairly small delay of the order of a couple of tenths of a second. The result is that

[quote who="Calnus" reply="13" id="3109634"]There's no game balance need for capship AA to be weaker than flak frigate AA on a per ship basis. Cap ships cost 5 to 10 times as much supply and have a command crew cost, after all. Even at say, 4x effectiveness per ship, either through damage, ROF, or bank, flak frigate will be far more cost-effective. As for starbase AA, I think that should come either with the station, from a research subject, or as a part of th

I haven't actually played with the new factions as such, i've spawned in the new capitals as tech to see what they can do, same with titans, i also got the other races in game and used that to glance over their tech trees at the new stuff. but i've not played games as them. So i haven't actually tried the new stuff, such as the mobile capital. I don't want to go into too many detals, but in short you need a enough labs to actually research a tech to

Having spent the afternoon digging through the other two, yes they both have some massivlly good abilites. If anything Tec with their twin fortresses, militia upgrades, and pirate stuff are looking the weakest of the lot. Without going into specifics too much (the devs seem to be fine with discushuion so long as we don't over spoil). The Advent Rebels are just going to be hellish to fihht period, even without their titan they're going to be a major pain in the r

They've slightly altered them for rebellion, (again you probably won't notice unless you visit the artifacvt world and get into the correct fire arcs of the titan), as a result they look a lot better when fired for short durations like that. Think babylon 5's minbari fighter beam cannon for an idea.

it's going to be a while, from some pictures of their titans we've seen the loyalists are quite a lot of steps away from complete as their titan is still using a lot of placholder UI and weapon FX elements. Also be prepeared for a shock. You probably haven't noticed it at the artifact planet, but their fighters now use pulse beams instad of phase missiles.

What i'd really like to see is them adding a tag for the titan, (and other similar AA wepons), that flips off their ability to target capitals. It didn't look so bad at one time with the flak frigates and the like, but the new titan flak guns look really sily firing at the frigates. I'd love it if they where restricted to targeting and shooting at fighters only, (not to mention those guns are undoubtedly antilight or antiverylight which means they're pretty ludicrous DPS vs Si

Ok i've done some playin and a lot of digging. Vassari corvettes are a littile odd so i'm going to deal with them seperatly. Both Tec and Advent corvettes share the same basic design elements in terms of damage output. Namely they both have 2 guns with the composite damage type and one with the anti-light damage type. That means that 2 guns are bassiclly heavy cruiser weapons of a lower DPS, whilst the other is a fig
