Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire II is coming! What are you most excited for? in Sins Dev Journals Stardock.net Forums

I am most interested to see how far the new Iron Engine 3 can push the game. In SINS1 we had huge massive maps - which nobody ever played on because the lag was unbearable when it came to End Game. Most of the time 50-75 Planets was like the max most players would play on. So my wish list: - Large galaxy maps (maybe planets in the hundreds if possible?) - Larger Fleets - More complex faction mechanics - More complex Planet mechanics - More

Ashes falls far behind Supreme Commander in Gameplay strategies. It really lacks something huge, but it is hard to put my finger on it. It's just not as fun as other games? I don't know what it is. I wish SINS had the performance of Ashes, I wish supcom had it too.

Forget a campaign mode - it doesn't need it and if they did add it.. it wouldn't be the selling point. Sins is successful for the mod-ability and the game-play, not the story. If they release SINS II with 64bit, full Multi-core support (can eat as many cores as you have), graphics overhaul, and revamp the UI. It's like printing money for them.

My want for Sins 2 is an absolute. I know a TON of people who love the game and still play it regularly. I still play it, been trying out different mods lately too. I think what everybody really wants is just an upgraded version of Sins 1 lol. We have these maps with 100+ planets in different solar systems, but I never play them and nobody plays those. The end game, or even mid-game, lag is way too intense. If we could get a 64bit, multi-core scaling engine and maybe with a n

I am glad that they've acknowledged our want for Sins 2. With today's technology, the scale that could be produced would be amazing! If a lack of manpower is an issue for a completely new game, would it be possible to release an upgraded engine? Like Ashes has, import (with new models/graphics) the old Sins game into it and release it. I would buy it in a heartbeat just to see what the modders could do with such an engine. Graphics upgraded, scale of the maps larger, oh man..

When are we ever going to hear about a Sins 2. It's been 10 years at this point and the fact that they continue to give attention to the first game tells me that they still remember it. Come on guys! Give us some information!

I love the fact that Stardock is still creating Space RTS games - I just wish it was concentrated on a Sins 2 at this point. While Star Control sounds like it'll be a fun RPG game, and well polished by the size of the budget and team, I do get slightly disappointed. I've been waiting for a Sins 2 for years and with the introduce of the Nitrous Engine it would be perfect to use for such a purpose. Sins is arguably Stardocks most successful game to date I would imagine. The m

I am looking forward to Star Control, it seems like it's going to be a great game, but I wish you guys invested all of this effort into a Sins 2! :D I support Stardock completely, and love Sins. I feel that a Sins 2 would be a gold mine for Stardock, especially with the Ntrious Engine. Sigh, With Star Control in produce still we most likely wont see Sins 2 for another 3-5 years. :(

Reply to My Impression of Ashes currently. in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

While I have not been on these forums as long as others, and obviously have not participated in as many discussion - from what I am seeing here I do have to agree slightly on what Frog said, Tatsujb. I made this thread about my Impressions regarding Ashes - and that is the topic of discussion in this thread. In your very first post you didn't mention any of the major points I made except for," This game offers so much more currently than Ashes." Which I believe you took and ran with,

My Impression of Ashes currently. in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Initial Impression: I bought Ashes when it first came out on Steam under early access and have played it since then a good deal. There are some things I do like and some things that I don't like. Now, I have played a wide array of strategy games over the years so I will base my impression upon those games. I know there are two factions planned cu

Reply to Some criticism in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

This is a good discussion and I appreciate Frogboy answering our questions and concerns, also our ideas! 1. I am curious to why we need a infinite upgrade system? I can understand that you wish for the player to feel constant progression through the game by upgrading his units - but, my only fear is after awhile it becomes repetitive and in a way a nuisance? I would prefer there to be a finite upgrade list, maybe up to tier V - but, you make the upgrades far more expensive and more

Reply to The zoom level in this game... in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="12" id="3598931"] In Ashes you'd accomplish that through unit heat maps (which aren't in yet). However, the biggest issue I have with zooming out so far has to do with unit speed. Players zoom out and then want the units to move faster. So then you make the units move faster and then players want to zoom out further and so on. [/quote] The Unit speed I believe is fine, you could add in faster land units though - b

Reply to Some criticism in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I agree with much of what you said. I do NOT like how every map is basically corridors and ''lanes''. I feel like I am playing a MOBA in that I am constantly streaming units in a single direction under a pre-determined path. Supreme Commander, so far, has done far better in their sandbox appeal. The Wide open maps, not forcing players to fight a certain way like Ashes (control nodes- which I do not like in their current form) the tech tree is much better, an

Reply to Initial impressions and thoughts in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I actually believe the capture points on the map remove strategy - it forces players to fight certain ways and in certain directions. It's basically a moba - constantly spawning units down a certain path to get to the other side. Supreme Commander had far more strategy in it, you could attack and build in any direction you want. Your buildings even slowly start to die if you build them away from the control points even a little - it's stupid. The creators are attempti

Reply to Visual Clarity when zooming out in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Maybe having the possibility of holding space bar while zoomed all the way out will highlight units by the player color, the outlines of the units will be lit by the color of the player. It's the ONLY explanation if you do not want icons in the game. Even though this still does not fix the issue of recognizing units when fully zoomed out which needs to be addressed I think. Especially once larger maps come into play and the player should be able to grasp the situation at a glan

Reply to Space combat in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Sins is a very aged game now mythistocles. It's engine technology is far behind today's - for obvious reasons. If a Sins 2 was ever to be produced, I would love it to utilize this engine. Could finally have larger maps and more AI without the game going down to a crawl half way through. I was under the impression that there was going to be a game mode in this where players are fighting over multiple worlds at once? Sort of like PA's galactic war ( which they lied about,

Reply to Ashes: First ea update 0.61: Changelog in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I am hopping that there is a max range on these abilities. It will be sort of broken if you can teleport anywhere onto the map - fly a scout plane miles behind enemy lines and drop a group an army down and an engineer. Build a base then gg. It removes ''front lines'' in my opinion. However, If you have a max distance on the global ability, say it can only be used so far away from a node you control on the map, I would be fine with that. I think if we want to be able

Reply to Only 15 unit types per Faction? in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I actually really miss artillery - like a lot. I know the Devs didn't want to give players the chance to turtle, but giving players defensive structures doesn't mean that they WILL turtle. The maps are designed in such a way that it forces players to move out and secure the map nodes - which is fun I guess, but I think having stronger defenses would be a good thing. Adding in different tiers of defenses that can be unlocked via Tech points, as well as Shield generators for all faction
