Uh, I am not sure about this, but a lot of people complain about LRM rushes. How about a unit that directly counters LRMs early game. Maybe a vessel that rushes past the front lines if it can get through (it also should not get blown to bits, like light frigates). And then, of course, an updated auto-cast feature. The one now is totally broken. It does not prioritize anti-matter usage, and there is not way to save anti-matter. Auto-cast is completely pointless.

I don't think they should have put a single player campaign in just to have one. But maybe the tutorials could have told the story. Tutorial: TEC drives back Vasari invasion, you have to learn how to move your broken fleet to fight the new advent menece. Or whatever. I would rather the developers not waste their time on a story line that is not going to just blow my mind. Homeworld's story campaign is a good example. It was pathetic and drew the developers away from improving

No, I think the supply value is fine. They were too expensive though. You have to increase your upkeep to build a lot of them. In essence, you have to sacrifice some of your economy for the ability to put someone else's on the fritz.

You can only build one of each hero in WCII. If you don't get how different the game is from that, then whatever. I'll say this. The game is massive in scale. It plays like a turn based game. Do you have city structures to defend in WCII? No. But you do in Civilization IV.

Oh by the way, I would be pissed off if I could not evacuate damaged capital ships. What kind of science fiction movie features the amiable but hardcore crew of your favorite space federation ship about to make the jump to lightspeed but being destroyed because their ship was too damaged to make the heroic escape? Think Millineum Falcon. What if the empirial cruisers had actually damaged the hyperspace device, and Han had died. Lame.

Having certain ships good at killing another certain type of ship reduces the incentive for focus firing, and Sins includes that mechanic. As for suppression fire, highly damaging but not killing ships would not work. I would just send in repair droids to restore my combat effectiveness while I actually blast your ships into the nearest star. I think the best option would be to literally remove the ability to focus fire. You should be able to set your ships to attack a certain

No, I know that. The problem is that turning all the skills off requires unmanageable micromanagement. Anyway, this is not the full post, and I cannot figure out how to delete it. Can anyone tell me?

Micromanagement problem in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I encountered a problem when playing the game that I might even send to support as a bug. The problem is that when a ship has two ability options, the ability consuming the least amount of anti-matter (and usually the lesser cool-down time) activates over and over. My capital ships, for instance, would never use top end abilities if I did not micromanage it. This would be fine ordinarily. I can turn off all the auto-casts and do it myself to an ex

The point is that you cannot build a superweapon unless the enemy is incapable of stopping you. If someone starts building one, build a couple long range missles, move your bombardment capital ship, and blow it to bits. If your opponent tried to build one as a last resort, then he will just waste his money; he probably cannot afford defenses afterwards. Also, even if you start to lose a battle and have to do something like armistice + retreat, if you a) destroyed enemy ships equally b) lowered e
