I have said in the past that fighters were nerfed too hard post 1.1 and I still believe so. Flak are too effective at clearing the field of fighters. I am less sure of what change should be made to make them somewhat usable without making flak obsolete again. I would agree with mindseye. Once flak are out it is generally stupid to have fighters on those carriers still. You are not gonna kill many LRF before the squads are gone. While the carriers are still

In my opinion the mature route for me personally is to find out what happened and judge what needs to be done as clan leader. It is not to apologize just because agent is annoyed or agitated before I even know if there is a reason to. This is a game clan. I am not a business owner trying to apologize for my employees to retain business whether the customer is wrong or right. I am not their parents to clean up the messes they make. If they want to apolog

We all can be asses at one point or another. Agent seems to be focusing on clans mostly though for his list. I don't have a problem with DU in general. Most of them are fine in my experience with at least 1 notable exception. DT smurfs so much that they might as well not even be a clan. Their bad members practically never wear their tag since they are too busy smurfing(i think i have seen siddy with a tag maybe a handful of times in a year and a half). &n

FYI a blacklist was already attempted that was blocked by the moderators. You are welcome to give it a try though. Several other small ones have popped up every now and then that have not been blocked. Most will just smurf around your list anyways but best of luck. It might be advisable to grow a thicker skin or use the /ignore command if you don't want to listen to someone. [_]-Greyfox

If provided proof, then they would have been dealt with according to their behavior be it a warning or removal from the clan. No proof has been provided so it is his word alone. No corroboration has been offered. There has only been debate on the ethics of kicking others to let friends/familiar people into a game rather than have an unknown. He just wanted to gripe and accomplished that purpose. My clanmates only allegedly called someone else a noob which happens

I do keep a watch on attitude. We have kicked out a few because of their attitudes(namely Caius, Sire/King of Kings, and Ascension/Black Sword Command). If someone repeatedly acts like a jackass then eventually it catches up with them. [_]-Greyfox

Reply to Brothers In Arms = Brothers With No Class in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I asked for proof because lack of proof could be just you talking out your ass. You insinuated that you played this game and were not actually kicked out so a replay would automatically be saved and chat in game recorded. To my knowledge there is no log kept of chat log outside of devs in the game lobby and chat channels. Outside of that, you have only your word. I assume that you have no proof or you would have provided it already. You don't gripe about pawelo b

The title of the thread and the majority of text afterwards was aimed at my clan only because you said they wanted him to boot some newbs as you say so they could play instead. You barely mentioned pawelo and did not at all since then. They were not the ones that booted anyone. They asked them to be booted so they could play and they received what they asked for and instead of saying that pawelo was a jackass for kicking unknowns for people he knew, you talk crap a

Now you are calling me unfair and unsportsmanlike? I don't even recall ever playing you unless you were on a name other than agent of kharma. I don't care about "big names" and kicking unknowns for knowns is attempting to make things fair for the game because you do not know what you are getting with an unknown. A name is meaningless on ICO if you haven't noticed and most games in general. I don't hide myself like some others do with smurf names so I can ac

Exploit abuser in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I played a game with an exploit abuser. He goes by the name AlwaysRandom. He used the exploit of SB not being able to fire above themselves to put a vasari SB abover another player's SB where he could fire but my teammate could not. He tried to use the excuse that illums were bugged to rationalize his use of the exploit. [_]-Greyfox

Just because they kick someone for another they would rather play with doesn't make them an asshole. I would rather play a game that is balanced and with people I am more comfortable with/friends with than have an unknown(smurf or noob). This is a game and I will play it with whoever I like. If I am the host and I want to kick someone for another then I will and while I would like to avoid offending someone because of this but if I do I won't lose any sleep over it. It

Saying sorry doesn't make everything peachy but it is the closest thing to polite you are going to get when getting kicked for someone else. You may not like that it happens but it does happen. It is nothing against those getting kicked unless they act like an ass otherwise. Those kicked could always host their own game as they like and kick whomever they like. They are the host and they can host in whatever manner they wish and the people joining can choose to join or

I am the leader of Brothers in Arms. Are you upset at you or someone else being called a noob or the fact that others were kicked so that they could play? Not being there I couldn't speak as to what was said that got you so miffed. Kicking unknowns so that knowns may play is a fairly common thing. I do so myself depending on the situation. I try not to kick someone if they have been waiting a long time. Smurfing is too prolific and I would rather have someo

Then Achilles further asked about 'why noobs ruin everything' or something around those lives.

Reply to 1v1 Ladder in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Tyr attempted to make a forum one for a short time(his "call out" post). It didn't last long. Smurfing prevented catching some online to play an actual game and people generally prefer to play larger games rather than 1v1 so it was lower priority. I have been interested although I tend to suck at 1v1. I always do too much or too little econ. [_]-Greyfox

Reply to The LF/Scout fleet, a Response in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The people that griped about carriers in their heyday were unwilling to counter them with LF. Carrier only fleets were easy pickings but the amount of bitching about them was louder than any of this other griping about lrf, scouts or whatever. Flak at that time were crappy and needed a boost but fighters are still suffering from it now. Back in those days, lrf spam was handled well obviously and people built well rounded fleets in general. Ahhhhh for the good ol d

Your analogy can go both ways. Weapons on a scout does not imply they should be the backbone of a fleet. Just because a chicken has wings doesn't mean it should fly. [_]-Greyfox

The point is not that I want them nerfed because I don't like them. I want them nerfed because it is difficult to fight it off early rush. Their SB is one of vasari's strengths and I don't want it nerfed too much but the build time is slightly too fast. It is still tough as nails and very difficult to dislodge once it is there. Build time nerfing will leave it just as tough but a little easier to deal with the rush. I don't care as much about the sneakiness altho

Marza is a good cap to kill SBs with compared to others. Its weapons are forward facing and it has a damage inflicting ability that you can use against it. I assume you mean cobalts instead of disciples being as you have a marza. If you have a fleet ready and waiting there at your hw then it usually isn't too bad but generally in early game you are away from your hw at least a little bit to colonize elsewhere. Even being 2 jumps away gives the SB a helluva headstart.&n

You don't HAVE to go lrf. I do generally add flak to the lrf so my illums won't be wiped out too quickly but thats more research and requires feed and build time too while the SB is continuing to build. There is always the option of LF or scout spam(LF being preferable since they are more resistant to fighter attack) but once it completes the LF are toast. SB tears through LF like butter much like they do LRF. A carrier cap start helps in this instance in that it can t

With 2 Skirantras, the problem isn't just the heal from the caps but the strikecraft as well. The most obvious response to an SB building on your hw is to build lrf to kill it as a tec or advent. The skirantra fighters counter those nicely in early rushes because you are unlikely to get much of a flak presence to protect your lrf AND build lrf to kill the SB. You could also make the case for carriers if you can get enough up in time but it as its own issues which namely is y

I would agree that the build time is too quick for SB in enemy wells. Your comments about a vasari against a vasari in terms of sb rushing is not useful really. The home field that builds an sb is always going to have the advantage with everything else equal because of build time and upgrade speed and the only time a vasari can sb a vasari and have it work is to catch him totally by surprise. It is different though when it is against advent or tec. The vasari has the a
