A little issue : Proximity mines are defective... need contact for have them explode... in case of titan, mines explode only when it a very small area at the center of the ship, plenty of mines pass trough the titan without exploding... pirates ship who help a player ( the very light grey one ) don't explode at all on mines...

Is there somebody who have found something with planet exploration level 2? As now, after 9 hours of play, everything is found with the first level of planet exploration, artifact included and always nothing with the second level, making it useless...

As for Titan, i find strange that movement ( linear and rotation speed ) is faster that capital... big ship have more momentum/inertia...

Titan level too much fast, maybe double the value for increase level... kill only a few pirate corsair and you are already level 3-4...

The file called "manual_rebellion.pdf" is in fact the Trinity manual !!!

Have a few other issue but they are already mentioned here or in the Yarlen post...

Big bug ocourred in Single Player mode, when I played with Cruel AI's. After 15 min. of game the AI's frozen. They don't advance at others players.

Also pirates bug occurred. In deep game they also going frozen.

The AI tend to be cautious now. They dont suicide completely to a SB.

Can you provide more info about the pirate bug

Also, Insurgency and Truce Among Rogues interact in what I believe is an unintended faction... When opponents have researched Insurgency and you have Truce Among Rogues numerous neutral ships begin to pile up in your gravity wells. In the last game against 9 Vicious AIs I had 1 gravity well with 13 neutral Kodiaks as well as a plethora of other neutral ships, and several others with about 10 Kodiaks a piece. Suggestions:

1) Make players who research Truce Among Rogues unaffected by Insurgency.

2) Create an alternate "neutral" faction that attacks regardless, this faction could potentially contain Vasari / Advent ships.

Hi, this is kind of related.

ok  first off i have just been playing single player and it seems that i have come across some of these bugs.

the culture of the graphic from planet to planet seems to work in theroy but i also have found that even with culture on and everything should be around the 80% mark in relations becuase you own a crap load of plannets on one side of the system the Culture doesnt seem to employ relations plus with other plannets from your home planet. so the further away you are from home the less culture you get regardless of if you have culture and deplomacy on.

Another bug. It seems in a long lasting game not that i was rushing to kill the other player even though i had a superior fleet. It seemed that if i blew up a planet and everything in the gravity well if i left that after all was clear i could come back and find the planet not taken but everything around the gravity well takin and built appon from the enemy meaning that even though the planet was dead the ai could build in the gravity well like the planet was still alive.

Nag. I hate when and if you leave your ships to kill everything in the gravity well of an enemy world they go for the guese cannons first then it seems the trade ships wich are small annoying and sit around the edge of the gravity well looking stupid because your blowing shit up. but it seems after the most harmfull thing has been taken wich is either a starbase / guese cannon the little buggers sittin on the out side get next command to kill. please fix

just one more thing..

When the enemy is attacking you with a small fleet of ships and you attack a world the ai will not pull back the forces is that ment to happen ?.

Here we go... green circle around proximity mine who normally need to explode...

As now, mines are only good for level titan... AI build hundred of them and a titan with a scout clean them in less that one minute... 150 mine by gravity wheel, at 10 exp by mine, it is a 1.5k exp... a few planet and you have a level 10 titan without any real fight...

Another "Research Victory" related bug I found playing with 9 Vicious AIs. It occurred repeatedly, was not game breaking but was definitely a glitch.

Periodically, an alarm klaxon would sound, and by the end of my testing period it had sounded for quite a few AI players. It shocked me at first because text appears saying "Nitheim Rebels are victorious" "Provians are victorious" with text simultaneously elsewhere on the screen indicating "Nitheim Rebels have started researching a research victory" or so on. However, under the victory tree, their victory research progress would not increment at all.

My theory is that this warning was occurring when the AI had completed the 50 prerequisite research topics to enable make the research victory researchable. However, in the save file I have, since it has already happened quite a few times, I don't know if it would occur again.

Secondly, the Rebel Titan, as compared to the Loyalist Titan, is seriously underpowered. I feel however that the Rebel Titan is approximately right and the Loyalist Titan will need some retuning. Currently, with highly research upgrades even a lvl 5 Rebel Titan cannot solo a fully upgraded starbase supported by 1 or more repair platforms (the vicious AI makes 2 around its starbases, along with a massive number of mines and gauss platforms. My upgrades were maxing hull and weapon emplacements, 1 in antimatter, and 1 in scattershot, snipe and explosive shot. 

My experience is that the Rebel Titan dishes out a lot more hurt than the Loyalist Titan, but because of the differences in survivability, the Loyalist Titan after level 2-3 becomes an immovable object and just will not die. The Rebel will kill stuff faster, but the Loyalist will stick around long after the Rebel has had to flee due to low hull.

I have a problem- I get a minidump every time I try to launch the game! =/

By using hyperspace... it is obvious that the missile/bullet is faster that light since it rake only 1 or 2 minutes to hit a other planet... when you think that light generated by our own sun now will hit the earth in around 8 minutes...

Take a look at stargate atlantis, season 5 episode 11 called "the lost tribes"... and see how a hyperspace windows is open allowing two ship for jump trought a planet...

Maybe it work like the Vasari phase stabilizer node, who allow ship to jump from one point to the other using the shortest route, not carrying if a planet or sun is in their way...

Point is that sins is sci-fi and the only limit of sci-fi is your own imagination... you see a possible bug, i imagine a feature !!!

Well, for people without imagination, let check the "manual_rebellion.pdf" located at ".../Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/sins of a solar empire rebellion"... look at the page 48 :

Novalith cannon : this is the ultimate weapons of the TEC and can be constructed only after laborious research and cost. The Novalith cannon is capable of firing a devastating shot through phase space at a enemy planet, causing obscene damage.

So, i seem that TEC have steal the technology of the Vasari phase stabilizer and adapt it to the big gun... in some way, like the galaxy gun ( http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galaxy_Gun ) from Star War... so, it is not a bug but a feature writed down in the game manual...

Why is it that nobody read anymore the manuals... or the files called readme...

Guess: Glitch caused by rounding, you may have only had 14.495 or something, and you could get the pact like a minute later? (cause I had the pact already, and it was quite short after reaching the needed reputation too)

Another potential bug:

Titans flak guns seem to do almost no damage at all to squadrons they shoot at. I put my titan into a grav well with an enemy starbase with lots of strikecraft and it seemed there weren't any of them dying. So either it's not hitting at all, or it's just doing next to no damage. Though when shooting the flak at frigates, it does some damage...

Any way it's weird to have that flak guns on a titan, and they virtually do nothing helpful against the craft they should be designed against.

Random question have looked and for some reason i do not have the manual.pdf on my system- did a search through computer all data with keyword manual showing hiddden, ect

How would we find the save file and how would you perfer the delivery method?

whats the Z-axis on those mines?
