Reply to Dawn of Victory - Total Conversion: Use the newer thread idiots. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote]apknullare it is a TC(total conversion). Also the spacecraft dont look like aircraft! They look like realistic assumptions of future space combat craft!I'm sorry, but that's just not true. First, they are not matt black (stealth approach) so you could see them coming from a couple million kilometres away and just pick them off with a laser. Nor are they mirror-polished (defense approach) so the aforementioned lasers would have no trouble in making them look like a melted swiss cheese in a

The Sequel - CAPITALS To keep things short, I agree on most counts, but I'll just outline the cases where I don't. ADVENT Radiance Animosity is currently an obscenely powerful anti-AI ability, and only moderately useful in multiplayer(I found out that ordering a phase jump will break the force fire). If it did what you suggest, it would be stupidly powerful, Subverter style. I have no idea what should be done. What could be done is change the ability to reduce the accuracy of

In my head(and the various bits of paper that are meandering about my desk) I have fleshed out the GTA and PVN factions, complete with ships, strikecraft(and roles), abilities, mechanics, buildings and technologies, even superweapons. I even added a few ships to the Vasudans, and sketched out buildings for them. Shivans, well, they're more difficult. I have a superweapon, three buildings(one of my own design plus the Comm Node and a Shivan Knossos) and that's about it... There's also a few q

The game can be legally downloaded and played, but it can not be distributed, and it's IP can not be used to build anything that is capable of making money. So no, noone can make a sequel, or feature it on the gamer's monthly DVD. I tried to hunt down the license, but came up to several dead ends. One of the dead ends suggests that some dude whose name I forgot who lorded over all of Volition holds the IP. Another path lead to Interplay being the owner. This path now separates into one that

Well, here I am... Note that all these changes should be viewed as a set, not separately. They're al intended to function together, otherwise you'd end up with a whole lot of broken things. So when commenting or contemplating my post, bear in mind you're supposed to read it all first before thinking about it. This also goes in with what innociv wrote and what I agreed to in the technology thread. Also, balance is not an end-goal, it is a process. These changes I am suggesting he

The thought of steampunk makes me wet, but these models don't. They're not... steampunky... Except for the blimp, which lacks a few dozen pipes and dials, maybe even some gears... But kudos for the effort, I'm watching out for this one!

[quote]It's just not feasible anymore unless you want a poor quality game.[/quote] How the hell do you figure that? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you're full of it :P I just can's see how the price can rise like that? The market is growing, so the price must grow too?

How the hell did this topic get so lop-sided? We went from discussing Long Term development ideas to trying to rationalize and find a reason for using subscription fees... WTF? Please, pretty please with a great sugar-frosted caramelised cherry on top, stop trying to promote subscription fees as a good idea.

I'm sorry for my last post, looks like spam now. I wanted to say something, but I was attending class at the time, and had to go... Anyways... General Price mark-ups for new ship techs? Definitely for it! Something like 2x sounds good, yeah. But I don't like the idea of splitting them in two... Upgrades? Upgrades could use to be more tangible, especially that whole planet-bombing set. This is a good idea, but I feel more can be done, for example, change the role and mechanic

[quote]maybe, but now there is absolutely no reason for anyone to play anything other than Advent.[/quote] I fixed that for you, Kruelgor. leadhead, there shouldn't be such a thing as a "late game race". Across all tiers, all races should be equally potent, just potent at different stuff. In 1.03, the Advent were a gamble to survive the first 20 minutes, and then they started to rule. In 1.04, they just rule. Nothing compares to Progenitors with Guardians and Light Frigs...

So a patch comes out, Vasari gets nerfed, Advent gets buffed, and you make a post saying "Yeah, that was good, now buff Advent some more and nerf Vasari some more!" What the..? I still say Advent is bloody imba. Now more than ever because the "sweet spot window of opportunity" has been shrunk, and now has barbed wire all around it...
