Reply to RTS is glorified Tetris. in PC Gaming Sins Forums

the main difference is time rate. and how cool it looks. all a TBS does is this: click..... click..... click.... ooh, a ship moved!.... click.... wow, it rolled 2 damage! in RTS, you can see ships all moving together, and even experience the joy of a good ol' fashun'd civil wah voll'y that decimates the opposing fleet. in my experience, a TBS doesn't really give that good of graphics, or of an experience. you don't get into the feel of the game, because

[quote who="NelsMonsterX" reply="10" id="1973076"] Quoting The Wicked Flea, reply 6 Can we avoid these silly topics? Subjectivity is just a clash of opinions, and no amount of agreement or disagreement can make either position right. In the end it all comes down to taste, nothing more. TBS is little more than Risk with 1,000 variables you must track, yet no pressure nor micromanagement. Maybe that's why I struggle to l

chances are that there aren't that many supertanker shipyards in the TEC empire, but those would be a little quicker to retrofit, but they would still need to be refitted to add much more interior framework, so that the warships aren't just a hollowed out hull. the main size would be for medium (cruiser) size vessels and smaller. civilian vessels are also much less structurally sound than warships, not being intended to get SHOT . this would also mean a decen

[quote who="Mascrinthus" reply="19" id="1971802"] Out of all the Space Scifi, Star Wars, is perhaps the worst when it comes to laws pf physics and everything else. Yep. It is fine for soft SciFi to get around the limits of the speed of light by coming up with space folding, short cuts through other dimensions (think of two points at opposite ends of a sheet of paper and you fold the sheet so that they are touching), etc. However, in Starwars they refer to pa

FTL would take very long, even with ten times light speed, and there is also the time alteration factor at such high speeds. if that was true, then the fleets would never arrive anywhere in time and would be strung out throughout time. its just unfeasible if it was conventional FTL and not interdimensional travel.

what I was going for really was a certain firepower spread. the combat caps are meant to jump right into a group of smaller ships and "spread the pain". but I didn't know the Radiance didn't have anti-strikecraft, tho.

Just giving a some ideas to make the story more believable and to be honest, I kind of take offense when someone insults the Vasari by saying they have no chance of winning. It's just that they are my main race, and I've gotten rather attached to them. Heil, Vasari!
