Yes it is. However, I think the Radiance's Animosity is bugged, but still efective against the AI.

[quote]Just plow through them. That's what I did. Capital ship shields are strong enough that a few hits won't deplete them but get their mitigation capped, so afterwards hitting mines doesn't hurt as much.

Some people do not seem to know what interceptors even were. I speak in the past tense because "interceptors" have not existed as a seperate class of warplane since the late '80s. Air-superiority fighters have taken on their role. Interceptors were NOT dogfighters. That is what fighters are for. Interceptors were purely anti-bomber aircraft with poor agility. They had NO air-superiority capabilities. Adding in interceptors in this game will make no sense

[quote]I've done it with v1.05, captured about 20 pirate ships but still got the achievement in the end.[/quote] Thats good to know. Thanx for testing it out. One other thing: Because I have Entrenchment, I'm worried about enemy mines because I won't have scouts. (As Advent I could capture them with the Rapture) How has anyone been able to deal with mines with TEC and Vasari?

Reply to Hi - new to the game, few quick questions... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

1. Patches are through Impulse only. 1.13 is the current patch. 2. Entrenchment is an expansion only available through Impulse. 3. Not that I know of. However 7 deadly sins is quite a popular mod. 4. No campaign. Just skirmish and mp.

[quote]My least favorite to play with has to be the Antorak Marauder. Its barely capable of combat its non ultimate abilities are all hard to use efectively and the autocast AI for its abilities is totaly stupid. The only truely good thing it has going for it is base speed witch is fairly fast for a capital. "fairly fast for a capital?" what are you talking about? the Maruader is the second fastest unit in the game (not counting SC) The Only thi

Reply to Go Big or Go Home in Strategy Sins Forums

Thanks for the replies! As TEC I will just get 1 Akkan and maybe 1 Sova and more Kols. So as Vasari I'll get more Kortuls and more Space Eggs and fewer Skirantras (maybe none) and just 1 Maruader. The reason I chose 4 Skirantras was because I would need SC numbers and micro-phasing aura. I was also thinking of using scrample bombers to distract enemy fighters. What about my Advent capship combo though? Is it any good

Reply to Possible Solution for Overpowered SCs in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]Perhaps this is oversimplifying the problem, but it seems to me that it should be reasonably possible to balance the flak's attack and cost so that it properly counters carriers/strikecraft. It seems to me that this should be possible even in your high-speed high-damage hit and run attack scenario. How to do this? Figure out whatever proper ratio is needed of flak to strikecraft, whatever that ratio is. [/quote] Building 1 flak per enemy squadron properly cou

I'm interested in getting this achievement and I have thought about what combinations of capships to get for each race. TEC 4 Kols 2 Sovas 2 Akkans 4 Dunovs 4 Marzas Advent 4 Radiances 2 Halcyons 4 Motherships 2 Revelations (I know they suck, but I'll get them for the sake of getting every type of capship) 4 Raptures Vasari 2 Kortuls 4 Skirantra

I really like these ideas. I hope IronClad is having a look! How about this one: Destroy 20 enemy Starbases only with your own Starbases and: Build a fully-upgraded Starbase at all of your planets.

I have considered using this tactic for a long time, but I have rarely bothered. Maybe I should use it more. Anyway, SC ball has a weakness. It makes it so much easier to kill them.

I find it really annoying how they continue to attack even if the bounty has been depleted. They should flee is bounty has been depleted. It makes no sense that pirates will continue to fight even to the death. I mean, how can miserable criminals be braver fighters then the AI empires? I agree with what you say though.
