Reply to what would you like to see in a Sins expansion?? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Some realism. I would like to see star systems. When I enter phase space is because I am going to another start system. Think Master of Orion 2 and you will know what I mean. The star systems should be heliocentric with several satellite planets revolving around a star. In game progress report. I would be nice to know where I stand compared to the other factions while playing. Think of it like military intelligence. It would be good to know tech level, number of enemy ship

Reply to Advent Capital Ship Abilities in Strategy Sins Forums

Stupid noob question here. Ready? To exploit the Advent ship abilities, I have to stay close to the ship that fires the ability. Right?

Tell me about it. I played a fully upgraded Advent. I had beaten the Vasari back into just one world. I controlled all the other planets. I had 4 broadcast centers near their last world.

So with a fully upgraded Advent, plus 4 broadcasts and the Deliverence Engine, if all that can't flip a beaten enemy,

I have several questions around trade ports. 1.) Do I have to have a 1 to 1 relationship with trade ports? Suppose that I have two worlds. And I build 3 trade ports. One port at my homeworld and 2 at the colony. Will the extra trade port at the colony not generate income? What if I build another trade port at the homeworld. Now I have 4 ports. A 1 to 1 ratio.
