I was just asking cause I was hoping for a Sins style thick DVD box with the cover that opens into some inner picture thingy... Ah well, GC2, DA and TotA still fits snuggly onto a single DVD :P

Phase missiles that manage to phase completely ignore the effects of mitigation. Mitigation starts at 15% and goes up the more a ship is under fire, up to ~60%. Advent has a research that allows their shield mitigation to go up to 70%. That means any hit upon a ship with 60% mitigation will do only 40% of it's listed damage. Shield Mitigation stays in effect even after you take down the shields. Subverters increase the rate of successful phaseing of phase missiles. That means that fleets with su

I'm just popping in to reply to the Zeitgeist thing. Zeitgeist is pretty incomplete and very loaded and biased. It is rife with half-facts and rear-sight to support all the conspiracy theories in it. But it is a great starting point! You should watch the movie just to have your handy list of stuff to read up on yourself.

AARGH! It ate my post! AARGH! Anyway, the bugs could have that TEC superweapon but it would chuck asteroids at planets. ... But I don't think the world(book and movies) has enough to flesh out a single faction, let alone two or more. Too much creative filling up required...

Oh, and the TEC superweapon that shoots giant asteroids at insane distances! ... But overall, I don't think there's enough richness in the world(book and movies combined) to make for one complete faction, let alone two or three.

I've a simple idea about Returning Armada... Let's say we put it on a global timer(one timer for all instances of the ability for any one player), and change it's functionality. Remove the autocast, and have it's recharge timer increased to something like 480 seconds. Depending on the amount of time passed since the last time you triggered the ability and the number of gates under your command, the ability will spawn a different number of ships. Once you build your first gate, you can use Return

I think it's way easier to import DoW's resource model. Asteroids generate power with power plants and the like, planets generate requisition. It worked there, so why not here? Other systems don't have too much in common with each other..

Warning! Bolt down the hatches and button up, The_Regicide is posting in the thread! I could never for the life of me understand the need for a Patrol command in any RTS. I can see the appeal if you're a Sim City player, and while I do love Sim City, I just don't get people who play Real Time Sim City games. So here I place this anti-sign. This now makes two matter-antimatter reactions ready to blow the thread into errant neutrinos. P.S. Ironhand, where's you? :P

For the last time, the problem IS NOT the minidump! Seriously, your logic sounds like the Federal Government shutting down phone lines in the entire state because people die when other people call the cops to report murders...

If you can make an invincible frigate by modding the files, what's to stop you from making a tier 1 free... aww, hell, I give up.

...The Earth's magnetic shield protects us from being crisped by the Sun? Dude. You watched The Core too much. As far as shields go, there's this idea I've been toying around with that might operate as a shield against projectiles and, to some extent, plasma weapons. Take a few powerful electromagnets, position them so their fields intersect somewhere away from the vehicle, and then synchronise their emissions so the intersecting field travels around the vehicle. Take a few hundred 2mm iron

I was thinking of the Shivans as a race. The HoL would be the Vasudan's late-game high-tech feature, and the NTF would be the pirates. The Pirates would also have the NTF Iceni with a neat special ability. I don't want to reveal to much of my ideas right now :P P.S. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/175716 That's the first FS mod thread.

Siege caps are the 1v1 front damage kings, battleship caps are the 1v50 kings, as they normally have 360 gun coverage.
