[quote who="SithLordAJ" reply="7" id="2976700"] Sins is so very technical, providing a clear description of the technical details would be a boon to those wanting to progress in the game. [/quote] Totally, and I suppose it's also a liitle part of why the online players count is low. I remember when I was playing Sins at the start and I didn't really know about the forums. I was kinda knew to RTS, and I got crushed several times by the easy AI. In fact, depending if

Reply to A quick and simple semi-fix to the empire tree in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Could help selecting maybe. :) However beware with the right click to give orders, I don't think you'd want it to be registered on press, or you won't be able to rotate the view anymore when you have a ship selected... (by the way SageWon if you read this I apoligize for having said you were wrong in the "long standing complaints" thread, ships phase jumping are the main problem and what I exposed doesn't happen all the time and is secondary...). I also have an idea th

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity/Diplomacy v1.31 (Hot Fix) Change Log in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I don't know, maybe they just forgot it until now. Either that, or they have a good reason (which I'd like to know) to have left it as is, otherwise I don't really understand why a universally supported change that would be implemented in probably less than five minutes doesn't make its way into a patch... Plus it would help balance a little. What are the "screwy squadron times" ?

Reply to So I have an updated refrence chart... in Strategy Sins Forums

Hey thanks for this great chart ! :) However I'm wondering about something : the chart by badken says capital ships have a 75% modifier against capital armor, but your damage modifiers chart says 100%, and the next line (CapitalShipAbility) says 75% against caps. Either you swapped the 100 and 75 in these two lines or badken's chart is no longer true for this... I don't know really.

Yarlen and devs, would you be kind enough to check out the issue some people are experiencing with game speed going crazy (like 2 to 4 times normal, and here "normal" refers to the normal speed with "faster" settings) in multiplayer (ICO and private) ? Especially happens at start of games, not all the time, and at least 4 persons have been reporting this until now (maybe all the vets on ICO don't even notice it ^^). It seems to be some kind of lag compensation... Here are

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity/Diplomacy v1.31 (Hot Fix) Change Log in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I've been experiencing two strange bugs since the hotfix : - A minor but funny one : I was playing an open teams AI game, and at one point I took one vasari enemy planet that had mines, and then the infocard for structures on the planet said the minefields had like 261% health (and the color was one we never see on infocards, light blue/green...). I tried to take a screenshot but I can't find it (I think it didn't work). It did not affect the rest of the game as far as I k

[quote who="ImpurityXIII" reply="32" id="2969176"]Nice! Thank you for still supporting this great game. Has this been adressed? https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/405271 Can't read anything about it in the changelog.[/quote] No that hasn't been addressed I think but Yarlen said that if it's not in another Diplomacy update it would be in Rebellion.

Reply to MultiPlayer Game Speed All Screwed Up in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

[quote who="KrdaxDrkrun" reply="10" id="2958380"]The game speeds up to compensate for computer processing speed differences over connections. I think that this is a feature, not a bug.[/quote] How could it be a feature to speed up the game if one computer is faster ? I agree slowing down is ok (and it happens), to enable the slowest one(s) to catch up if they can no longer process at the desired game speed. But speeding up ? This is wrong. I have seen this kind of t

Thinking about it, why are the health bar indicators on the empire tree and when you press down Alt always proportioned something like 3/4 hull and 1/4 shields ? It seems strange to me that they don't represent the actual proportion of hull and shields of the particular ship. Especially for Advent ships, that generally have at least as much shield points as hull points (and the Guardian's shields are something like 3 times its hull), I think it would be more readable.

Reply to Core Game Mechanic Suggestions, Long Standing Complaints, and Realistic Concerns in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Hello ! I know I'm late but I would like to add my little contribution : First, the empire tree jumping around thing, this I remember, some time ago when I was playing on a kinda small screen pc, was really the one thing I found the most annoying about this game. Well maybe the lag was more annoying, but you could somehow avoid it by not playing too big games... I remember I stopped some games because I just couldn't manage to play with this thing jumping around at each click
