[quote]One thing that Sins does a bad job of is conveying the scale of whats going on to the player. I remember reading once that if you took a Kol battleship and poked it into the surface of a terran planet. Just one of the beam cannon barrels mounted on the front would crush an area stretching from Vancouver to well past Seattle. Probably more, its hard to tell.[/quote] I'm sorry, but that is one of the most idiotic statements that I've ever heard on these forums. What sort

[quote]"Many years of stalemate have gone by and the great empires stand, idle in action but frantic in growth. The great starbases hang in every sky, symbols of death but also of hope. Soldiers who watched thier brothers die at war now watch thier sons take up arms with pride. Dreading the day when the conflict begins anew. Citizens who once wished for survival dare to dream of peace. The great empires who before met only over the crossed blade of swords now extend empty hands in friendship.

Did it have two sections with green energy tendrils? If so, you are most likely talking about the concept art for the Vasari SB. It looks pretty different from the final version.

[quote]current bonus of free extractors on the resource rocks but instead of having it level up 0/1/2 it should be 1/2/3. [/quote] That bonus is too weak. TEC already gets an upgrade giving them cheaper structures. Free extractors are not a major saving anyway. If my change is too strong, then make all structures 10/15/20 % cheaper as you level up Akkan's colonise. Well, what about my other suggestions. Revelation definately needs boost and Seige Frigate

At level 3, the first 3 structures you build are free. Maybe this is too powerful. This would make the

Entrenchment is mainly very balanced, but some changes need to be made imo. There is too much controversy over the Marza, I'm not going to discuss it. I will discuss other units which get less attention. Seige Frigates: Greatly increase their survivability by doubling their hull and shield points and reduce fleet supply to 7, BUT make them require 3 or 4 mil labs to be researched. Carrier Caps: Increase the no. of squads to 3. Make them upgradable to 9.<

The reason I say that MB is not overpowered because it is easily avoidable and interruptable.youve couldve done multiple other things to stop it. One would be to get your opponent to prematurely trigger it by using a faint it does not need to be nerfed, you just need to use tactics instead of blind spamming, if you see a lvl 6 marza, then run away or actually do something abou

Great ideas. However, the population does not dissapear. Population growth does not refer to breeding, but to that fact that it takes a while for your subjects to be registered for taxation. When you lose a planet and get it back again, you need to register your subjects for taxation again, because the records have beedn destroyed. Hope that makes sense.

If every faction had "act now or die" abilities it would be fine. Right now, it's off.[/quote] That is totally correct. btw, I like your sarcastic changes to the other cap ships. I agree, MB is not an "I win button" it is an "act now or lose button". No other race has anything like it. Devs, please change it

Reply to Gravity Mines in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]Invisible, nonlethal mines would be a shocking surprise, but not one that can instantly kill players without remorse (which is the reason boom mines are visible). A surprise hit from gravity mines forces the player to either stick around for the ships to catch up, or to leave them behind to their fate. More races should have this option for their mines. Another potential mine type can destroy antimatter, or provide some sort of combat hinderance.[/quote] good ideas!<

When I first played Sins, I thought it was ok, but the more I play it, the more I like it. I love it now. I tried playing Galactic Civilisations 2 and I found it to be ALOT less rewarding then Sins. I don't understand why you were expecting Sins to be like GC. Sins is advertised as an RTS and RT4X. It is in a different genre to GC2.

These are all very good ideas, but the game will become far too complex adding all of them. [quote]Taxes should be settable. Lower taxes means higher growth rate for all planets, and a slightly higher resource gathering rate. Higher taxes slows growth rate, gives you a slightly lower resource gathering rate, but more money of course.[/quote] This one seems pretty good and not overly complicated. I think that if you set low taxes on your planets, the populace l
