Hey everyone! You might not recognize my name because I was contacted and had to change it (somehow I accidentally went around the "not allowed in a name" rules.)

Anyway, you might remember me as either C.I., or guywhoyudontno (wayyyy back in the day).

I've been out of Sins for over a year now because of hard drive space issues, but those have been resolved and I am reinstalling Sins as we speak!

What I'd like to know is what (if any) updates, tips, tricks, etc. have happened/became popular in the last, say, year. Or as far back as you can remember. Really anything Sins-related that has happened. Thanks in advance

The most important thing is that the online multiplayer action moved to the Diplomacy expansion and overall online player counts decreased, so you'll probably want to get Diplomacy if you think being able to play in the 4v4s and 5v5s is worth it to you.  Advent is now the least chosen faction because Illuminators were fixed/nerfed along with scouts and Vasari now benefits from enhanced Scramble Bombers ability on the Skinatra capital ship (you might see two or three of them coming at you, early game).

The target date is tomorrow.  That doesn't mean it will be.

That said, expect to see me at the patch party if it's on time

Patch Party?

on Feb 09, 2011

There's going to be a patch in the next few days.  If it goes live in time, we're going to go online and have a bunch of games Friday evening.  Open invitation, feel free to show up.

Beta patch, iirc.

Somehow I missed where the date was said, too.

It was buried deep in that thread.  You'd have to be actively following it to have seen it.

And just in time for me to upgrade my system. Getting the parts tomorrow.

Ha, we all know how closely Sins follows target dates.

 

Aw I liked the Advent :/

Time to try my luck with the Vasari it seems, can't really appreciate the TEC too much.

Thanks for the reponses!

Well I think the very first date they gave was November, but they did make this one.

Advent capitals at least have improved from the Beta patch, and Scramble bombers is a bit less broken, so things are looking up a tiny bit.

Its too bad the com labor bit didnt make it in... I think that would have given the advent a SIGNIFICANT buff.... I dont know how much faster they were planning on speeding things up... but could you imagine building drone hosts 50% faster? mmm...

Yeah I was curious about that two, but the fact that they even thought to do anything about it stuns me. I mean its been among the most useless techs/abilities since launch, and we didn't even have any real ideas of how to fix it.
