Reply to Newbie looking for some early help in Strategy Sins Forums

You actually learn fast playing online. You dont have to unlearn strategies that only work with AI. Online settings are at the fastest settings, quick start, locked allies and pirates off. Learn how to expand properly and what units counter what. Watch replays.

Reply to Diminishing return rates for Trade Port and Refineries in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

You actually have it wrong. Trade ports give an increasing amount of return the more of them you make unless you decrease the trade chain. (decrease the longest most efficient continuous trade route) Refineries is based on surrounding grav wells also so if you have a planet that is next to other planets that you own and have high amounts of resource then you will want to make 3 refineries (max limit per grav well is 3, no overlaps allowed) &nbsp

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="14" id="3088190"]We have a couple of very vocal multiplayer testers on our external team that have nagged me relentlessly for months about multiplayer balance. It should be better overall, but time will tell. I can inform you all that one of the key things Steamworks has allowed us to do is to eliminate the potential for smurfing.

Reply to Defending against Cruel AI in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="3" id="3079854"]Yeh- because basically if you can beat down a cheating Ai then you can beat down Seleuceia , modders alike and any other noobs.[/quote] Well if you can take out a cruel ai, its easy to ramp to killing a vicious ai and up to 7 of them. It only takes time. Game gets boring. online will put the game in a different perspective.

[quote who="Rovert10" reply="5" id="3072538"]Orgovs with a support fleet of flak frigates and hoshis is a great raiding force. The frigates move fast enough to run when any serious force arrives but can do some serious hurt on emeny logistic structures.[/quote] This fleet will get eaten by Light Frigates which are faster and cheaper to make. Orgovs are too costly and too specialized to be used just for a raiding party.

TEC scouts with bombs works well.

Reply to Unit costs and balance in Strategy Sins Forums

When I tested which HC was the best, I ran two test based on cost and fleet supply. TEC had the best un-upgraded HC for both cost and fleet supply. With full upgrades Advent had the best HC for both cost and fleet supply.

This has been stated before but I will state it again. If you close the game after each match, I have never crashed or desyncsx. This speaks volumes as to what is causing all these problems. Blair fix a few bugs but it I believe it still something to do with the game not resetting or still reading a system state from previous game.
