I hate to be that guy, but he may have a point. I was playing a game last night in the beta patch multiplayer, and tried subs out for the first time.

Now, I have played many, many RTS before, but only recently have gotten my hands on sins. Like 2 months ago. So I'm terrible and straight up admit it. But here it is, 630 am and im like damn im tired dude hurry and kill me so i can get some sleep. Yea no, he rushes my home with a good 50 kodiaks and at least 50 javs, plus 3 cap ships a lvl 4 marza, a lvl 6 carrier cap whatever that one is, and a level 4 kol. I had 30 enforcers 15 of the vasari LRM ships, and my 3 caps, a level 9 Evacuator, a lvl 6 carrier and a lvl 4 siege cap. I see his fleet coming from 2 phase jumps away and it scared me. I remember reading this post and decided to build 4 subs because it was all i could afford. BTW i had all AM upgrades researched. So he invades. and I watch as one of my subs disables his entire fleet of kodiaks, then manually send one to get his javelis frigates. other than caps. Grand total losses for Crakata = 3 subs. Grand total losses for tribius = 40 kodiaks and all his javelis. Kinda different losses, no?

I think it might need a different system than it has. like perhaps a certian amount of antimatter depleted for each ship it disables with the jump? because with 4 subs and full antimatter, they each get 3 jumps if the battle lasts long enough. its silly. or maybe its just my noobishness coming to the surface.

ROFL! Yeah I KNR?

as of 1.09

* kind of offtopic*

Vasari have like no power any more. Their econ is the worst of any, and yet we have to pay 500 Crystal just to get the RA to one phase stab AFTER spending like 6,000 creds just to get the ability to USE the RA, not to mention building those stabs. That was not good in any way whatsoever for shorter games.

Would have been much better putting the money required for RA at half of everything.


IMO Every game has different tactics.

In long games, (80 planets+, multi or system) it's who researches the most and gets to the other system first is he who has best chance. (Your culture's cannons, respectively)

In Middle games (usually about 79-60 multi, 60-30 single), it is he who has culture and trade ports up first who has early advantage.

In Short games, it is he who has the trade ports and more than one cap ship up first who has the best chance

This has gone on long enough, this guy is obviously going to ignore anything we say. we told him strategies, ideas, everything, he is just posting because he wants to annoy all of us. well, i say we all stop helping him if he won't listen.

Oh, and this game's AI is, in my opinion, both stupid and timid. It sends out constant streams of scout ships (smart), finds out where you're weak and where you're strong (smart), then spams subverters evey minute or so at your main fleet (smart), but doesn't follow up with a quick strike to take them out (dino-dumb)!

To top it all off, even though their fleet bordering your weak side greatly outnumbers you, they don't attack there, either. That part I have to agree with -- anyone who loses to this AI couldn't beat a retarded chimp at tic-tac-toe!

we read his replies, we responded, and he still never does anything different. i believe it was ben franklen who said the true definition of insanity is doing somthing the same way and expecting different results, this guy is INSANE

A large part of the general community consider anyone who spends large amounts of time on the computer playing space sims to be insane ! Spending large amounts of time in forums talking about them is also largely considered a form of insanity !



As Zapphod said : "Put your analyst on danger money baby, NOW !"

Face it the guy is a freaking moron, he removed them from teh game good for him. Lets move on. Its not like we will ever see the scrub in multiplayer. He cant mod his suck out there.
