Rebellion 0.61 Update Log:
[Graphics]
[ Gameplay ]
[ Interface ]
[ Misc. ]
Okay in all seriousness I'm completely fine with that, if it were bombers, there would most likely be hell to pay.
I cannot wait too. Frankly, i played one full game as Rebels and one for Loyalists and i am already bored with TEC. I mean at the moment i do not really feel like playing the game more until more factions are added in. I know its bit stupid, but this is me, the archetype of casual gamer. As i got older, i am capable of playing regularly only games like Call of Duty multiplayer, PES or NHL... hell, sometimes i spend more time reading/writing to/refreshing various message boards like this one, than actually playing the game.
I thought capturing structures was halarious! Bring it back!...
Armastice has allways worke this way. Nothing inside the ability can give or take damage, thats the idea. IMHO they should have just made the effect gravwell wide, would have stopped this kind of silliness from people.
@Haze: in a sans flak enviroment the diplomacy era vassari fighters where considered quite capble against a fairly broad range of targets thanks to the effects of missile phasing. This change really hurts that and unless pulse beams have more upgrades, reduces their maximum damage against enemy strikcraft significantlly. It also potentiolly means that their fighters damage upgrades are locked away behind quite a bit more research. It's a major game long nerf to them.
I entirely agree: just because something is fun doesn't mean it aids gameplay. But I think it does. Anything that aids you and hurts your enemy is a good thing, right? So, you steal his hangar defence, or rail gun, or mine, or whatever you happen to steal: it's an immediate loss for them, a bonus for you (since, if you take the planet, you don't have to build it or you can scuttle it for cash), and if it gets blown up then you've still lost nothing.
I think that keeping the ability to capture stations as well as ships - actually, the ability to capture anything except planets, essentially - would be a neat thing. It might take lots of Corsevs, it might take lots of tries and probably wouldn't work, but how cool being able to grab an enemy starbase?
Just a bit of feedback.
Played me vs 9 vicious ais FFA unlocked tesms and pirates on on huge random map with capital planet victory option.
2 things I would like to point out
No mater which race i played after going for starter cap few trade and then rush titan enabled me to kill 2 ais by sending titan to theirs hw and kill it.
AI factions had multiple novas per faction firing them in about ~10 minutes into the game. While novas are easy enough to defend against I do think that ~10 min is a bit to quick for each race to have 2-3 novas firing all over the map.
I want my vasari!!!!
Playing this abomination tec race is so gay
And remove that z-axix, or make all object working in 3 dimention with " proper" sphere for pjs and mines and adjust price and logistic slots or increase range of them and make z-axis properly limited.
Its extrimly annoying .
The lost ship bug is still here.
I finished my game with the new beta updated (single player, random medium map so against 3 AI also random too).
Have had an enemy ship lost in the void (but still "attached" to a planet).
As far as I can say, this seems to happen during heavy/big battle and the lost ship is always a battleship (and its associated bomber/fighter if it has some).
By the way good work with this first upgrade. Things are globally better.

Implementing steam doesn't solve smurf problem we are having in diplomacy. True game score stays (hopefully you cannot reset it) the same but names are still changeable.
Further fixes regarding this problem please
Keep dreaming .
U cannot beat smurfs.
Besides, ill tell u something. And when u finaly make devs implement some final solution with your constant nagging , remember this.
This will be the end or sins multiplayer.
And last thing ill say is " didint i say so..."
Cause u cannot play constantly same 30 people. its dead boring.
So embrace your smurfs cause they cannot fake record, whith is good.
Record staying the same already kind of beats smurfing, people usually smurf to hide their stats, but with Sins the online community was so small that names became more important. People will just have to look at record instead.
Stupid question, but where do we go to download the update?
What did you do?
Steam updates games automatically by default...if you are certain your game did not update, then open steam, click the button "steam" at the very top left, and click "Check for Steam Client Updates"....
This will force steam to update all your games...
Personnally, I'm not happy with the titans keeping their level when destroyed/rebuilt. This is not logical, we have to put a huge effort to take them down. And they are rebuilt and as strong as before ? This should be a run to the highest level just like it is with the capital ships.
For the rest, it looks ok for now.
If steam doesnt update automatically you will need to reinstall the game.
Nice uptdate.
I test it and my consideration is that Titans need to be nerfed. It's too hard to kill like they are.
- There is no strategy to lvl your Titan. Remember the Marza MB lvl6 ?
Ideas:
1. Nerf armor or HP.
2. New ships that can "only" kill Titans like ogrov for SB.
3. Any other ideas?
Guys... i cant wait anymore so i take a shortcut, simply i use forge tools, create a map and put the vasari units, and capital ship´s, wait some time AND KILL TEC FACTION YEAH!! and create a advent faction, and crush it all!!!! YEAH!!! YEAH!!!! OOOJOOJOJOJOJOJOJJOJOJO I AM VERY EXITED... THE QUALITY OF SHIPS, SHADOWS, THE NEW EFFECTS AGH!!!! . i have no researches but... i like YEAH!!!!
LET ME PLAY WITH VASARI AND ADVENT FACTION!!! (WITH EVIL VOICE )
Bye all ! (yeah i am very very crazy )
FEEDBACK!!!!!. The fucking effect of the loyalist titan, is extremly annoying!!!!! i cant see this stupid green shield in 2D, ruining the graphics and other effects. And the lvl 6 ability too but it is not so much annoying, a little. only like the effect of auto-curation
The main problem with titan is that it remebers leve when destroyed.
It can drive to insane conclusion that at some income level, lets say 60+ it more profitable to level up the titan then run with it , especialy, if repair pads aren close.
Its stupid, Titans should die like normal caps
Changed Boarding Parties ability to no longer capture structures (per design)
- I don't like this change to be honest. I miss the fact that my Boarding Parties were able to capture enemy turrets and Hangars which could in turn be used against the defenders. Once a planet was subdued it continued to assist in saving costs associated with building new colonies. This change does not make sense to me.
Indeed, or at least take exponentially longer to bring back. If you're really reckless with them it should take 10-15+ minutes to rebuild a high level titan. That way you're very vulnerable for letting die no matter how big your economy is.
@Yarlen
Will particles used for rotating sections in mods also throw shadows? PLEEASE!!
imo titans should keep their levels if they die. If your enemy has a level 10 and yours is lower and gets blown up and goes back to 1 you basically lose the game. There is just no way late game that a level 1 can get enough XP to get to a high level or for it to compete with a level 10.
Just going through the forums now - this was not addressed yet. If anyone has a surefire way to reproduce this issue, please let us know.
Umm, probably?
