SotS2 is coming out this year, heh. ;P

Unless they delayed it?

Some of the voice acting isn't bad. A lot of the rest falls in so bad it's good territory.

omg, I am still not used to 2011 lol... yeah, THIS YEAR !!! eeeeeeeeee

I have not heard all the voice.. I have only played with morrigi and hivers (started with morrigi, then I tried hivers, and I just foll in love)

Probably the humans voice is quite nice.

What have been the best moment for you?
Mine when I tried those heavy drivers and to my surprise the ship got a single huge cannon below it, and then in combat... oh my, a huge ranged attack that sent enemy ships bouncing arround... nergasm right there.

I must admit, Im a huge space theme fan... big battleships with tons of turrets and stuff...
Other games worth mentioning: Gratuitous Space Battles; X3Terran conflic, and to a lesser extent Sins of a solar empire.

What do you guys think about a Sots community play? I can host it in about a month, give or take, depending on how slow Amazon is on shipping. We would be playing with all the expansions, since I don't think its possible otherwise.


Same price on Impulse, currently.

Also:

SYSTEM UPDATE.

Personally, I like the Peacekeeper voice. Even if he is a giant dick.

I love heavy lasers. Especially with antimatter drives.

While impressive (and PUTTING THE FEAR OF THE SUUL'KA INTO THE ENEMY), I prefer Mass Drivers when pummeling colonies into the stone age. ;)

What counter is there to Liir blazer dreadnoughts? It seems like you have basically lost once these get produced in large enough numbers, they far outclass other blazers and because of their speed they toast cruisers.

Just use anti laser armor/shielding.

Or be faster and longer ranged.

Zuul missile ships could just stay out of range forever.

Only problem with Liir ships is they die when something sneezes in their direction. Their dreadnoughts have the weakest armor, even below Zuul. They're pretty much glass cannons. Not much luck in the tech department for better armor either.

If you can't out-shoot them, try an unconventional or a counter route. EMPs, disruptors, energy absorbers, range, etc.



As for blazer DNs, Hivers are the worst offenders based on how many beams they field. 18 beams. Woe to anyone in their path if they roll cutting beams.

Yes, but Hiver blazers turn so slow everything can get out of their firing arc.

Hey there, I've just bought this game. I'm finding it pretty difficult to actually do anything though. I've done the tutorial and everything but every time I meet an enemy they kick my ass horribly, any tips?

You have to tell us what race you're playing. They all play quite differently.

If by 'enemy' you mean alien menace, yeah, that's supposed to happen. Scout ships, colonists, whatever else, will get eaten up by colony traps/derelicts/swarms/whatever. Once you have decent weapons, you can send a few warships to clear them out; until then, avoid them.
If you mean other races... change race? Or research the appropriate xenotech and sue for peace. (Unless its the zuul. The zuul do not do peace. Ever)

Unless you're lucky. If you are at peace with the Zuul, though, don't break it, especially since they're probably at war with everyone else.
