Reply to Steps to TEC econ boom in Strategy Sins Forums

The most efficient order of taking those planets depends on what you have in your fleet. If you have a pretty good sized fleet with LRMs and carriers, just own the malitias and make sure either a colony cap is with them or a colony frigate is close behind them, and take the planets in order. Don't waste time skipping some and then coming back later unless the desert planet is likely to be a contested planet. If you don't have a decent amount of firepower, say just a col

Reply to Any mod that replace just the Kodiak Heavy Cruiser ?? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

While I too think the kodiak is probably the worse looking ship in sins, I don't think that anyone has taken the time to make a mod exclusively for getting rid of it. Of course, it wouldn't be to hard just to download a mod with a model you like, copy the model and texture files into a new mod, then change the kodiak entity file to reference those files instead of the tank in space model. Of course firing points and shield overlays could be a problem... Its probably eas

Reply to Steps to TEC econ boom in Strategy Sins Forums

Nothing wrong with your list, though I'd keep it flexible (though I don't know why desert is last). Galaxy geography is the biggest factor in how you should expand. If your near 4 ice worlds and a volcanic world, the volcanic all of a sudden is alot more valuable. You also have to concider what worlds your enemies and pirates are likely to attack from. Step X. should be decide how you are going to use your logistics slots. For econ, you are going to split pretty much all of them between civic

[quote who="newbwithkeyboard" reply="12" id="1997151"]Ok, I have a question. Lets say you are surrounded by volcanics and ice planets and there is a terran planet/something you wanna colonize beyond it. Do you guys fly through the volcanics or do you stop and kill em so that later reinforcements or w/e don't have to keep dealing with the shenanigans? This goes along for sneak attacks as well.[/quote] It all depends really. If its likely to b

Reply to Adding minerals to planet system in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I'm assuming you tried to use galaxy forge for this. As of now, there is no way to add a custom amount of resource asteroids to a planet. The resources that appear are determined by the planet entity file, not the map, so if you wanted to change say the amount of resources avaliable at your home world, you'd have to mod the desert/terran home entity file. However, this will apply game wide, and if you wanted to play the pre-made maps as intended, you'd have to change it back... [e digicons];P

Dead Asteroids, which are econ leeches, are perfect for static-bases and supply choke points.

Alright, I take that as a you want to give the netrual malitia around a planet a boost. The easiest way to do this is to right click on the planet you want to add the forces to and click edit. Click add right below the group manager box and then add the ships/building you want to have around that planet. Now normally you'd then select what player you want to give them to, but you want to give it to a malitia. To do this, you'll have to save your map and then find the location of the folder al

Not quite sure what you are wanting, but anything not involving standard players pretty much has to be done outside of galaxy forge. Though its not too hard to get custom random militias if thats what you are wanting. Reguardless, you'll probably have to do some text editing on the galaxy file.

Reply to About mines in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Wow, when I read all of the stories on entrenchment that were appearing in November, I got the idea that the mines would be in the phase lanes. You'd have to have a scout jump first so that it would be able to detect them and allow your main fleet to just go around them. Obviously it didn't work out like that. Though if they can't get the mines to work at a reasonable level in the gravity wells, mabye they should try it. Would also solve the lag problems.

Well, technically, now that custom maps can turn random positions off, you could make your own story if you wanted. I'd guess it's possible as the tutorials seemed to have some features that would support a story mode (Limiting what you can do, displaying text, really all you need for a perimitive story). Could (ok, will) take a bit of work, but you'd likely get your story mode quicker that way. And I totally support more game types, plus some more game options (Rush ru

Umm, its really quite a useful ship. I'm pretty sure designate targets does not force your ships to attack the ability's target. Even if it did, the ability enables your ships to do 40% more damage on that target, so it could still be worth while. Its other ability restores 2.5 shields per second to one of your ships and increases its rate of fire by 10%, thus increasing the DPS by 10%, which is always a good thing. In short, I would build more Ho

I liked it, but it depends what you are expecting from it. If you are expecting another Bioware RPG, you'll be in for a shock, as you actually have to work at aiming. If you're expecting a tactical shooter, you'll probably be a little bored with the long yet well writen story. If you like them both, you'll love this game. Overall, I recommend it, especially for sins fans, as they probably have the patience for it and will respect its original sci-fi story. While I have
