Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment - The Last Stand of the TEC (1/2)

[thekillabeevids]

same thing happened to me called my kingdom the legionarys aliance 2 attacks from unfair opponent lost 6/10 planets did last stand at my planet i lost took em 583 frigates and 2 capital ships to take me down :D

[bovb902]

oddest thing that ever happened to me was before i nearly was defeated the vasari randomly retreated

[GeminiOrion9]

"Our capital ship has been heavily damaged."

WHICH GODFORSAKEN ONE?! THEY ALL LOOK LIKE THEY WENT THROUGH 4 ALAMO'S! WITH CHEESE GRATERS AS THEIR WEAPONS!

And that is my caps lock rage/sympathy for this video.

[MajorKickFail]

Here's my strategy for defending my home world: I would keep the battle away from my factories and keep building up my force. I would put the rally point in the hear of the battle. I also try to keep the battle around friendly star bases/ tactical structures for fire support. I also make sure that the phase jump inhibitor is there so if the enemy tries to escape I can slaughter them. It works out perfectly every time.

"The Death Star... it's operational!"

"It's a trap! Turn us around!"

Sorry. Just had to say those.

[SupremeCommander360]

Target the Reavers...... Target the Reavers.. Target Everything SOMEBODY FIRE!!!!!!!

[Hamiltonizer]

I love you for this comment.

[Lightray110]

Wow that is a damn big fleet.

[TheD3POD6724]

its a trap! do a barrel ROLL!

[AeonAion]

When you arrived from jump it reminded me of that moment when the Enterprise from the recent Star Trek movie attempts to join with the rest of the fleet in orbit around Vulcan...only to find some angry ass from-the-future-Romulans had destroyed them all.

[enCODed3]

@Hamiltonizer you put are starbase on the planet not out in the open and surround that sucker with hangers with the flak upgrade and as many guns as you can they will attack the guns first since they are in front allowing your starbase a long ass time to bring down the hammer

[iPopcorn]

i see you had a few kols. so how come you said you couldnt produce any other starship, or were they the few you had left?

[MrCanadianComedian]

you should have clustered everything together

[incinerator327]

oh, and have a pattern of defenses, not randomly placed structures.

A) have a starbase with two gauss cannons covering each phase lane.

B) Construct several gauss cannons in a smaller ring around your planet.

C) build any factories in an inner ring around your planet.

[incinerator327]

I was betrayed on this game once. He had his fleet near my Novaliath Cannon while there was peace then he attacked.

The words of wisdom for that: have TWO  novaliath cannons.

[jaspertheking4life]

If there comes a new Sins of a solar empire it would be cool that when a fleet or some structures are destroyed in orbit of a planet that the ruines would form a moon after a while

[incinerator327]

then you could build stuff on it, like a weapon or something, like the moonbase in kids next door.

[jaspertheking4life]

Yes that's a great Idea, and also there should be scavengers that come to your system to collect debris that still can be used for credits or something.

[jaspertheking4life]

you should always let the enemy get to you and when his assault is over and his ships destroyed go on a crusade against his worlds with 5 fleets or so

[ElChorizoPatuano]

I just donwloaded the demo and the fleet capacity is of 125, in the full game how big the fleet can be?

[anthonyr96]

i belive 2000 im not sure though

[ChrisTheMechanic]

Yes Fleets are hard to discern as being big or small depending on what you make of them. In all if you focus on farming Frigates then your fleet will be nominally larger then if you went for the more specialized and expensive Cruisers

[ElChorizoPatuano]

ok, thanks

[Mr00Ted]

little bit of modding, and it can in the thousands.

[ElChorizoPatuano]

thank's

Any mod you recommend

[nashertheatheist]

Watch the replay from the Unfair's point of view to see what they do.

[Ascensiam]

Whenever fighting an Unfair opponent, you should simply fortify yourself as much as possible, i believe your strategy was right, but not producing capital ships or cruisers may have been the worst.

[Hamiltonizer]

Yeah, It was a 3-way map, the other opponent (hard) was wiped out almost immediatly. I used them as a buffer to enable me to build up my forces. I had had one huge battle before this in which seven of my capitol ships were destroyed. By this time I only had the facilities and resources to slowly build frigates.

[1amnot13337]

Epic

[setsunawannabe]

lol epic

[XoRandomGuyoX]

Wow.  Gotta send out those lone scouts or Cobalts instead. Or perhaps an Akkan with Armistice learned. XD

[Hamiltonizer]

That probably would have been a better idea :P

[loveisamistake]

Only capital ship to build shoulda been Marza Dread because it's missles woulda been better for defense but that's just my strategy. I love Akkan and Kohl personally the best.

[DLuniz]

I try to get 2 fleets for attack, and one to stay back as a fast response group

caps, Marza, 3 Kols, 2 Duvons, and a Akkan, and a Sov, the rest is all cruisers and frigs

the marza and kols kill other caps, the Durvons keep them alive to do it, the Akkan give an escape option with armistic, and the Sov robs them blind with embargo

[ChrisTheMechanic]

Why the Sov? They don't bring much firepower to a melee and unless your willing to spend creds to get them up to the levels where their fighter squads number enough to make making Hangar Cruisers uneconomical. Even then however their abilities only seem more focused on closing down an enemy trade route or raiding undefended sectors.

I think the cap point would be better spent in another Marza or Duvon. Gotta love that shield restore.
