Build culture centres. The enemy clearly has stronger culture then you, so in the meantime, station your cap ships near that planet as they push back enemy culture.

Reply to Which is The Best race? in Strategy Sins Forums

I like Vasari the most.They are great both early game and late game. Phase missiles pwn anything, especially Advent units, phase stabilisers make them extremely mobile. They have great firepower, the almightly Death Egg and a very resilient fleet that is very flexible. Their mobile SB is nearly industructible with the right upgrades.

Giving Disruptive Strikes the chance to interrupt abilities sounds great. [quote]So vasari have 1 less option (Marauder being the only disabler). Doesn't mean they're that much less effective. With the Akkans, it would mean the opponent has 4 or 5 caps, which means you should have 4 or 5 caps, if you don't then its obvious your opponent has an edge. 2 extra Akkans will make it a little harder, but if you've got even 3 Marauders you're ok. Or how bout 2 Marauders and 3 K

On the subject of capital ships, is the "quickstart enabled with two early cap ships" a viable MP strategy?

[quote]Hate them both...can't give any valid or such arguments..it is just me.I hate pay/download..pay/view and so on.Like it better when i go to the shop,pick it from the shelf,pay for it.Go home and enjoy the box,the dvd,the manual,the posters and so on. Steam and impulse can't give me any of that.[/quote] So you would rather pay alot more for a game just to get a shiny box rather then pay/download at a lower price?

Reply to Steam vs. Imulse in PC Gaming Sins Forums

[quote]Rather than Impulse vs. Steam, I'm more curious to compare Impulse to Steam to salesforce.com AppExchange to Apple iStore. In general, there seem to be a lot of competing distribution platforms for various types of software. I'll be curious to see in a few more years what people generally think works vs. what doesn't, and in what field.[/quote] Interesting point. I don't have Steam, but I have no complaints about Impulse at all. I really like how it compresses

[quote]As advent there are several things you could have done.[/quote] As Vasari, there is very little that you can do. You can get a Marauder, but that is rarely useful and if the TEC player has a couple of Akkans, then its even harder.

Reply to Best Capital Ship Mix in Strategy Sins Forums

It depends on your strategy and who you're fighting, but I have found that the most flexible and powerful combos for each race are: TEC: 5 Kols, 1 Sova, 1 Akkan, 4 Dunovs and 5 Marzas. Sova may not be needed. Advent: 4 Radiances, 1 Revelation, 4 Motherships, 3 Halcyons and 4 Raptures. The Revelation is not really needed though. It can be good to reduce the cooldown time for Shield Restore to keep your ships alive, but thats it. Vasari: 4 Kortuls, 1 Skirantra, 4 Eggs, 1

[quote]I know that Sins is primarily a war game, but I would like sometimes to play a more diplomacy centered game, at least with some of the AI's in the game. [/quote] Thats what the second micro-expansion is all about: diplomacy.

Reply to I hope I'm not alone, but the reason I play Advent... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I don't mind Vasari voices. The Desolator sounds pretty evil, but is much better then the TEC voices. The Marza and Kol sound alright though.

Reply to another new player in Multiplayer Organizer Sins Forums

Getting Entrenchment is a very good idea, because it is great value for money. Most people online play with Entrenchment, but I would play against the AI first when you get Entrenchment just to test out the various new units, upgrades etc.

Reply to Sings Online Game in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Tell your friend to verse just you or ally with you against the AI when he gets the game. When he gets better, verse other people. I've never seen cheaters in MP, and I've never heard of any cheaters on the forums, but I'm new to MP so I'm not totally sure if it is possible, but if it is, then it is rare.

I heard that on Pirate Bay, there was a program called IPREDATOR that you could get. It makes your web-browsing completely anonymous. The name alone is just wrong. I think it may be a good thing that the Pirate Bay guys went to prison.
