Why would anybody who is in MP play with these settings? Implementing number 1 would gut a key part of TL, 2 would basically make rebellion a more refined version of diplomacy, and three would make vasari players disappear completely from the game.

Hate to say it, but this list is just bad.

For me when playing with a friend against hard AI with the economy bonuses it becomes a problem as the AI will then spam superweapons.  Titans (because you can only have 1) and star bases (easily defeated by siege ships) are not a issue for me but giving people options to turn off them is not a bad idea.

Because back in 2009, when the game was actually good and not the "rush the choke point whit the SB".

 

The old sins, the sins what loved, got changed by the new meta. I want options, that are easily implemented to experience the old, classical sins.

 

In other words, it takes nexst to no effort for iron clad to implement, and will give the grizzy old timers a old game mode back.

 

Now, i know there are mods that do this, but the point is, that this should be a feature of game play. Super weapons, titans and star bases are meta that takes away from capital ships and fleet maneuvers.

Vasari sb is not hard to counter... As for general balance, I think it is probably the best since rebellion launched...

And what old "classic" sins gameplay? You mean spamming lrm until your fingers go numb? If SP players want these features, they can just go back to the old games or mod the things they dislike out...

Also, it doesnt matter if it takes next to no effort for starclad to implement; hell it wouldnt even matter if this change took 3 seconds to implement. Starclad does not care about improving the MP side of the game. AT ALL. Just look at the recent patch...

Who said anything about vasari SB?

 

This thread is about giving HOST the OPTIONS to LIMIT or EXCLUDE or INCLUDE things that will not require mods and allow in the content that is not available in earlier iterations of sins.

 

This brings more utility, ease of use and potential FUN in to a game while subtracting from it absolutely nothing.

 

And since you think that ironclad don't want to help MP, well, this will also enrich single player experience.

What possible real reason there is not to ask these features to MP and SP?

For the same reason its not worth asking to improve feed button....

If it was going to happen, it would have happened a long time ago......

At least this can be solved with macro.

There is a mod to disable supers, you may want to try original sins if you have the trinity pack or purchased as they were made.  I do agree an option would be useful for the people that want it,

I think the only use I would use is the super weapons and there is a mod for it.
