i have jsut found something that would be extremely easy to implement (a single dev could implement it in the time they spend reading this) on the display of your planet's allegiance, the part where it shows the increase rate, make it show to .001% instead of to .01% this would make sense because it never (that ive seen) goes above .05%, and it increases so slowly sometimes that it would be nice to see more precisely what it is at

i think they need to make AI not flee as easily, this would prevent players like me from making a fleet of 16 capships and no frigates from being able to kill every AI fleet in a previous large game, 3 huge AI fleets were trying to take my last remaining planet... i had a 16 capship fleet and no frigates, every time an enemy fleet came, i focused all firepower on their capships, almost immediately after the capships all died the rest of the fleet fled despite them almost certainly being

Reply to Large Map Slowdown in Graphics Design Sins Forums

i experience some slowdown as well on large maps, and im fairly sure its not jsut having to do with the number of ships onscreen almost constantly on a large map AI somewhere will be fighting.... and im fairly sure that when there are enough AI battles going on at once, as there ussualy are in large map battles, the game slows down

[quote]Progress is a process, and you can't expect people to get everything perfect the first time out of the gate.[/quote] even though they did... :D about unit diversity: think of it this way when we were cavemen, all cultures were pretty much the same... hunter/gatherers who lived in tribes as our knowledge and technology grew, we became much more diversified and our cultures were no longer able to be grouped into one large catagory of tribal hunter/gatherers<br

Reply to 9/10 GamessRader in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

i personally only use the empire tree for doin stuff with my fleet... if u select it, the tree goes right to it, so it makes selecting a capship that leveled up really easy as well as making sure all warships in the well are in my fleet

Reply to How many colony ships do you recommend? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

i make about 2 or 3 per game, as i am EXTREMELY capship oriented when it comes to fleets my fleet always has at least one capship with colonize ability, so i colonize within a minute of when the hostile fleet is destroyed and/or the enemy colony is bombed to death

also, the distance from which that ship i mentioned is firing shows that range must only be computed on the x and y axis... so it pretty much allows multiple ships to be in same place as far as range goes
