Title: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread
Post by: Corey on December 07, 2013, 11:38:37 PM
The goal with this thread is, from now until release, to post one screenshot every day, including some new content and a lot more action shots than what we've been showing. A few will make their way to ModDB (probably once per week) but this way there's always something to look at even if we go some time without being able to post a full update. If you have requests, feel free to make them.

For December 7th, we have some EotH ships engaging some Dreadnaughts.

There's some overlap on the shield mesh with the dreadnaught, but don't worry about that.

Okay you depraved bunch of Imperials, here's your precious Coruscant. This is my first attempt at modifying Sins planets visually, so probably gonna be changed or even redone as we go. I think this is also the first tim we've shown the TIE Bomber, too.

Wow, very busy picture.

Is that a couple of MTC's in the upper right?  Sorta look like they have that big bootied profile of the MTC in that picture.
Title: Re: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread
Post by: Corey on December 11, 2013, 11:31:55 AM
I had several of every IR ship at that point except Altors, includng MTCs so they should all be in there (the first three ships in the top row are all MTCs). I had an Executor as well, but I was getting attacked by the New Republic a few planets away so it was off dealing with those.
Title: Re: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread
Post by: Revanchist on December 11, 2013, 11:45:41 AM
Nice picture, got a little of everything in there. TIE Defenders next!! Or one of the new Rebel ships. Or the Empire's superweapon.
Title: Re: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread

Post by: tlmiller on December 11, 2013, 12:39:07 PM
Well, individually I wouldn't say it is, but definitely en-masse they are.  Hardest thing on ICW towards the end when facing the remnant is that their fleets will have 20-30 Defenders to blast your ships to pieces by the time you can kill them.

I'll talk to Davis about the possibilities of getting a Soverign shot soon, Defender probably won't be done for a while though. Anywho, this is what that Executor I mentioned was off doing while I was taking the Coruscant shot.

But but...in TIE Fighter I could take down VSDs with only a single Defender.
Title: Re: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread
Post by: tlmiller on December 13, 2013, 11:39:26 AM
Well yeah, Tie Fighter was specifically designed around the star fighter, it was rather biased towards them and made capital ships much weaker than they should be.

Alright, the Sovereign wasn't available for comment tonight so instead you're getting something you didn't request, which we've said in the past was cut. It's what I've been working on for the past two days (essay aside). As for the ingame functionality, credit to Lavo for the idea on how to make this thing do what it's supposed to actually do.

This is something really old, but we've never done anything with it and I thought it was kinda cool. It was taken relatively early on when Davis, myself and either Enceladus or Zer (I can't remember which) were testing out some stuff.

Post by: Corey on December 25, 2013, 07:52:40 PM
Something a little less exciting but more necessary today. This was used as the Light Frigate shipyard in ICW, but for Ascendancy those two come from one shipyard, so it has double duty. It's been given a few model touchups and a reskin by me as well, so you'll be building ships in style.

Nice to see where our smaller ships will come from.  What's the largest ship that's going to be buildable there?  Vics?
Title: Re: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread
Post by: Corey on December 26, 2013, 04:19:06 PM
Technically VSDs would be the size range we'd include for this, but we want Vics to be able to do orbital bombardment. The AI in Sins tends to planet-rush with any frigates that can bombard and ignore defending forces, so we decided it was better to have them as capital ships which could bombard instead of frigates which can't. We may change this at some point.

Wait, so VSDs are going to take up capital ship slots? That's interesting. How are we going to keep up with the BACs of the NR??
Title: Re: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread
Post by: tlmiller on December 26, 2013, 04:46:27 PM
That doesn't leave an awful lot of room for other caps.  Isn't there a limit of like 7 capital ships per faction in Sins?  Vic, Vic-II, ISD-I, ISD-II, Executor, Sovereign, that leaves only 1 unused slot for something else.  And then I assume the galaxy gun would replace the Titan?  Or would it be the last slot (assuming I remember correctly in how many Caps you can have) and something else would be the titan?
Title: Re: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread
Post by: Corey on December 26, 2013, 05:03:49 PM
The Remnant was already going to have more capital slots than the other two factions, and they'll be adjusted accordingly for VSDs as well.

We've managed to circumvent this behavior by having just a bombard ability on the frigate instead of the actual bombardment weapon. The frigate at least for the AI can bombard in a way but will prioritize enemy ships first over the planet.

Codeuser's back to working on some new particles. This is the preliminary hyperspace set made by me and him. Basically, starfield type situation grows in front of the ships and they fly through it, like in the leadup to the Battle of Endor.

Another set of more "infrastructural" shots. This time, it's the basic unit icons which I wanted to show since we're going in a slightly different direction with them than you'd be used to from playing Imperial Civil War or even other Sins mods. Basically, the usually perspective views of the ships as icons would look pretty bad with the UI. Instead, with the HUD in general we're going with more simplified monochromatic versions of things. I made all of these icons relatively fast as a proof of concept type thing, so there's likely to be some rescaling/repositioning and maybe a few will be rendered from different angles, but it should give an idea of what we're going for.

EotH fleet tender/transport, the Alaria. Basically a cargo ship (read: space box) which was also converted for fleet supply duties.

I will enjoy if/when the PA gets into the game harrassing the rebel scum with those behemoths.  A few corvettes to swat their fighters, and the Praetor II's can feed on MC's...

That should add a nice mix to the capital lineup.  Most Mods I've played give all Capitals similar stats and similar costs with mainly ability differences.  This heavyweight will make gameplay more interesting instead of following the Corvette - Frigate - Capital - Titan mold.  I look forward to the variety and different tactics.

This is really only the case with the ISDI and ISDII for us, although even then the stats aren't terribly similar.

Another new planet texture, this time for a new planet type. Polluted planets are relatively rare, however some of the more famous ones classified within this type in the mod are Honoghr, Vulpter and Ord Mantell. This particular one is Vulpter in the Deep Core Conflict scenario.

Mostly correct, we just shifted around the names, so the repair/resupply station is now called the naval station. This is called the command station.

Once we're able to do actual playthroughs, we should be able to do more regular stuff. Until then, I want to avoid posting different pictures of the same stuff too much. Right now Codeuser and I are working on stuff that can't really be shown in parts properly, but should provide a ton to look at when we're ready.

We don't usually post stuff still in progress, but we haven't posted anything for a while, so here's a (very) WIP shot of some of the Galactic UI stuff I've been working on. Right now it's the the frames, with revealed planets showing the aurebesh indicator at the side, and unrevealed planets just having that indicator. We're going for a more HUD-y display type, somewhat based on Rakatan starmaps from KOTOR but more miniamlist; when they're done, each type of planet will have the indiacator circles filled with different graphics.

This also gives you an early look at one of the smaller scenarios in the game, Deep Core Conflict. It's a 1v1 scenario, there's 16 planets, one player starts at Eclipse, the other at Khomm.

This is the "climax," it tends to fill the gravity well so it may need to get resized a little.

We've shown a full map screen earlier in the thread. All planet names and types will still be in the real alphabet. Aurebesh characters are only used in graphical effects. What you see in that screen is just the indicator that a p-planet is there. In Sins it was just a little low res sprite of the planet type, we're doing the little broken circles with an indicator inside those (that part isn't done yet) with planets that you currently have vision on getting the little tail like the one in that picture, with the planet type written in it just so there's some variety.

The trade station model.

Usually, I just post the screenshot, but I'm gonna give some other info here. As many of you are probably aware, Sins is a 32 bit program and therefore is subject to some memory limitations. As such, we have to be very careful about optimizing our assets and asset usage. One way we're doing this is by sharing certain things between factions. The main thing here is buildings; instead of having three separate versions of a shipyard, trade station, research stations, etc. This also tends to fit within Star Wars anyways, since the factions aren't from origins as diverse as the base game. There are a few exceptions to this, such as the resupply stations being shared between the Remnant and EotH, with the New Rep and Hapans getting their own. Of course, any factions who were substantially different would get a unique set (ie if we were to do the Yuuzhan Vong)

Just in case people aren't sure, this is the shield impact effect. If you played base Sins, you're probably familiar with the large black meshes that just envelop the whole ship. These are, obviously, blue and more location-specific (the MC80B is just taking a lot of fire there). I'm not really satisfied with it yet so I'll be playing with it more, but I haven't played with programming in Cg before so it'll be a while.

While I must admit that my personal preference would be that shields flare with the colors of the incoming fire, I still like the way you're going more than I do the base Sins method.  It's nice to still be able to see the ship while it's under fire... I've had plenty of Sins games where I can't even see the ship, only its shield bubble.

Your right about that when I started the team only had 1.3 out and if people remember back then (which some of you should) there was hardly any land units and other than it's fighters being superior to the other factions fighters the only really good units where the Republic SD and the Nebula everything else was quite poor to their comparable classes.

Working on updating some engine glows/data maps on the space triangles.

It's certainly very well done, but I think it's somewhat less detailed than it should be (linked, huge):

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Coruscant-AoTCW.jpg
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Nar_Shaddaa_TOR_new.png
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Tarisfull.jpg

Coruscant is definitely the most familiar-looking ecumenopolis. Things which I think make it look more plausible are noted: some of the circles have varying thickness, they have smaller circles and lines radiating in a crater-like fashion, some circles are tangent to each other, lines are typically short. Finally the contrast is much lower, and there are random smatterings of buildings just as bright as the rings.

I definitely love the smog. It's a nice touch, especially for places like Metellos, Skako and Vulpter.
Title: Re: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread
Post by: Corey on July 23, 2014, 06:28:08 PM
If you were able to see it more closely, there are smaller rings and different series of lights that are just as bright as the circles without being part of the circles (the latter is definitely visible). Also, keep in mind that the Coruscant picture you linked to shows Coruscant in a different way than most other images of Coruscant, since I'm pretty sure it's from the Clone Wars Cartoon; one which doesn't actually translate very well ingame when you try to replicate it, since UV stretching/seams tend to be more pronounced and there's a lot more negative space.

Move all the Gungans to Centerpoint, make them live in Glow Town, and then fire the damned thing at Naboo just to make sure.

Just never, ever let one into the control room.  It'd somehow end up being the next thing the system imprints on after it falls face-first onto the control panel by tripping over itself because a hack writer would find it funny.

Why not just take all the gungans onto a ship then kick them out the airlock into naboo orbit then blow up the planet. And see how many bodies are still intact afterwards.

it's too risky I say we pulled back and nuke the site from orbit... It's the only way to be sure kudos if you get what that's from

Not depicted: the 15 other lancers in the fleet.

Nah, no capital ships is a waste of a Sovereign... you want just a handful without a ton of fighter support, so you can blast one or two and let the others flee to spread a tale of woe and terror, and of course your supreme power.

The model was super old, and had a lot of geometry in places you'd never actually see, plus some edges were bevelled for some reason, using twice as many vertices/polies to do the same thing. Similar to the issues we addressed with the Clawcraft, BAC, and a ton of other stuff recently.

That looks amazing, and certainly different from base Sins. Feels like a whole new game.

Now, I've heard that the engine can support as many as ten playable factions (for example, the Interregnum mod which is working on having two Imperial and Rebel sides each on top of the original six). Are there plans to add a seventh (or eighth, ninth, or tenth) faction down the line?
Title: Re: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread
Post by: Corey on November 20, 2014, 02:42:41 PM
There really aren't many unique factions beyond the 6 we're already doing. We're never going to do multiple versions of the same faction like the base game, that would just be a waste of space.

I like how there are multiple SW mods either out or coming for Sins, yet all are distinct enough to feel very different from each other.  I've played the Interregnum alphas, which seem to be coming along quite nicely, but doing so hasn't decreased my anticipation for Ascendacy a bit. :)

I haven't checked out most of them (with hte exception of Sins of a Galactic Empire), might have to look at a couple others.  I know I have been playing a lot of Star Trek Armada 3 mod recently.  Overall a well done mod for the Star Trek universe although still a lot of bugs.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Armada 3's expansion next month myself - they seem to be putting an incredible amount of work into it.  Interregnum is definitely worth a look, the Empire and Warlords factions are downloadable in the current alpha build and offer similar but distinct play styles.  It's based on a storyline the mod's main author created where the Sins races flee their galaxy and end up invading the Star Wars one just before the Battle of Endor, so it involves the base Sins factions as well as Star Wars ones.  It requires the Enhanced 4X Mod (a worthy mod in its own right that helps flesh out and expand differences between the Sins factions), authored by the same person and included with the Interregnum download.  SoGE I've had plenty of fun with, but it's been feeling a bit dated for a while now.

Yeah, it's Daala. Those are techs with features related to the characteristics/policies of those particular leaders. Pellaeon Doctrine is a diplomatic tech that removes the racial relationship penalties, Daala Doctrine decreases your relationship standing with other Imperial players very significantly but increases the Allegiance you gain from your culture. Thrawn doctrine provides a passive combat bonus to frigates.

You could do one for the emperor something like "Super weapon construction speed increase" Description As the emperor liked using super weapons their construction speed is increased, although after the destruction of alderaan many people feel threatened by this so this slows the rate of culture spread.

That could really only be applied to the galaxy gun, which isn't something we want to encourage. Too many of the early IR tests ended with every planet destroyed when we were using the Novalith cannon numbers and cooldowns.

Either way, the whole "leader doctrine tech" idea is going to be significantly revamped after the first version most likely.

I don't know that I ever had that happen, but there were some design aspects I wasn't a big fan of overall... for instance, a number of maps were nearly impossible for certain factions to expand in, sometimes directly opposite what one would expect (IIRC, the Vong invasion map for a PC Vong had the Vong starting in a terrible spot as both linked planets had massive defense forces, but your starting forces were still default Sins level).  Wasn't a bad mod, had good times with it, but it somewhat had me feeling that I was playing it just because it was the only decently-done Star Wars mod I could find.  Sacrifice of Angels 2 I remember giving me the same feeling, though for Star Trek.

Fortunately, we've got new ones coming from proven teams to look forward to for both Stars. :)

Earlier, we showed a picture of the Deep Core scenariom which was small but still accurate. This is a picture from the "Unified Front" 9 player map with 128 planets. Essentially, it has all of the planets from Imperial Civil War not in the Unknown Regions (which will be featured in other maps). This particular screenshot is from the northern third or so of the map, which should look familiar to ICW players. Every planet in the maps is essentially as close to canon positioning as source materials and my desire to retain what's left of my sanity allow.

Keep in mind, the top only looks squished because of the camera angle; that cluster is decently far out.

Hello sir.  Been following your mod and Thrawns revenge for about a year now,and I've been nothing but stunned with the quality of content you guys produce.  I have a couple questions though.  First:  What is the sound approach you guys deciding to take when it came to ship weapons?  For example, the dev for Interregnum decided to have normal turbolasers and ion cannon sounds, but added sounds for a "light" turbolaser class as well.  Sins of a Galactic Empire had just normal turbolaser and ion cannon sounds with drastically increased firing times when it came to the ships.  I wanna know what approach you guys took.  Also, do you guys plan on taking a page out of SoaGE's book and bringing more of a focus to the capital ships?  Or will you need to bring an appropriate bag of mixed goodies to the party to secure the win?  Just a loyal fan in a thirst for knowledge.

I like how spread out the planets and hyperspace lanes are - it seems a bit less choke-pointy than ICW's map, except in places it should be like the very top.

The result of a galaxy gun projectile impacting Bothawui in retaliation for Bothawui firing a galaxy gun at one of my own planets. (Note, imps are in control of Bothawui because preset starting positions aren't in yet) The Galaxy Gun is a horrifyingly powerful weapon capable of launching planet-destroying warheads through hyperspace. Once the Galaxy Gun projectile has been launched, there is no stopping it, and no saving its target. As to your request Mark, I'm not sure about posting videos, I can ask Corey, though.

I've been really busy so I haven't been able to post much, but I'm still working (as are Slevered and OzWolf). The release date is more of a rough marker since ModDB doesn't allow ranges. It'll possibly be that day, but probably a little after. It was also set when I wasn't working Wednesdays and thursdays, but now my weekend is Sundays and Mondays, so those days are actually more likely.

Title: Re: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread
Post by: Senza on January 24, 2015, 08:14:14 PM
To answer your question, sort of, while I'm not exactly sure of the role of the MC30c yet as I haven't gotten to play around with it very much, I can tell you that is very heavily armed compared to most of the other light cruisers available to the NR, it vastly outguns the MC40, however it does not carry fighters and comes a little bit later in the tech trees. Torpedo/ conc dps is mostly pretty low in Ascendancy compared to other hardpoints, but the MC30c's torpedo DPS is actually on par with those of its other weapons. Make no mistake, this ship is not going to be in your fleet to act as light fire support with ions, it's there to wreck some shit with turbolasers and proton torpedoes. It also retains its cluster bomb ability from FoC, which iirc can damage up to 8 nearby enemies.

Both. Theoretically save for the fact that we want to redo a fair amount of the designs/models/skins the Empire of the Hand is pretty much where the NR/IR are asset-wise and the PA just needs 5 ships and one station to be at the same point. Since I have Settra helping me with coding now, and Davis has taken over sound design everything is going to be able to go a lot faster.

The difference is, where 0.9 and 0.95 were pretty much just "get the NR/IR in and make sure stuff works how we want it to before we're over committed" we want 1.0 to actually have some level of polish, and that's where a lot of the stuff that's not directly faction related comes in.

Theoretically save for the fact that we want to redo a fair amount of the designs/models/skins the Empire of the Hand is pretty much where the NR/IR are asset-wise and the PA just needs 5 ships and one station to be at the same point. Since I have Settra helping me with coding now, and Davis has taken over sound design everything is going to be able to go a lot faster.

The difference is, where 0.9 and 0.95 were pretty much just "get the NR/IR in and make sure stuff works how we want it to before we're over committed" we want 1.0 to actually have some level of polish, and that's where a lot of the stuff that's not directly faction related comes in.

Exciting stuff guys. That said polish for 1.0 is good news. The mod is fantastic but a couple of layers of polish before release would, I think, put the icing on the cake. Especially from things like a balance perspective. With double the number of factions available balance is going to be harder to enforce. I very much look forward to seeing the route you go down. Take your time because a good 1.0 release even if it takes time will be worth it!

Can't wait to play with the EOTH. A rapid movement civilisation sounds very fun and will hopefully allow a more fluid play style than often encountered with sins.

The Alignment's answer to the Bothan Assault Cruiser and Victory-II, the Procursator is a heavy combat-oriented cruiser which sacrifices some survivability for firepower compared to its counterparts.

I actually really look forward to these.  300 meter larger than a VSD-II, should be downright beefy for a cruiser.

Indeed. I am really hoping that with a smaller less powerful Titan we see some excellent cruisers. Really torn between Alignment and EotH based on current looks and how the factions are turning out.

Meh, assault frigates die fast enough that it won't destroy that fleet due to their pitiful turbolaser damage (although early game, yes, the AF is fantastic because it doesn't need corvettes to escort it, and in larger numbers can threaten even capital ships).  It's the 50 BAC's you need to be terrified of.

Are you referring to ICW or Ascendancy, because I have ICW down to a formula and the NR isn't that much of a threat (except for their BACs, so hence stay in Era 1) in Ascendancy however, they mix the two for devastating effects. Usually I can overpower them but the problem is that they send them early in the game.

Post by: tlmiller on April 28, 2015, 12:45:20 AM
Ascendancy, no limit (other than fleet and command) to fleet sizes.

The AI does love to bring AF's early, but they can easily be defeated if you use the right ship complements.  Doesn't even require many ships.  The only irritating thing about the AF in terms of defeating them is the jedi clone trick with them.  Makes their fleets look AMAZINGLY large.  However, they're not very effective against combat ships overall, and their greatest danger is their fighters, which the clones don't spawn quick enough to be a threat.  Rarely does the AI use the AF in a support fashion where it truly shines.  A few AF's with a MC-80/MC-80B and a fleet commander and they actually become quite deadly in the early game.

So nothing that's not already in the public beta (I think), but cool shots nevertheless since there hasn't been any posts for a while.

First, the planet Jerelec with full infrastructure dedicated to arming the fleet.  And lightly defended itself (if you're counting, that's a titan facility, 3 capital facilities, 4 Frigate facilities, 3 Golan III's, 2 Golan II's, and 3 Golan I's).
(http://i60.tinypic.com/w9xjbb.jpg)

Second, a fairly decent sized fleet (~50 ships, Sovereign, 4x ISD-II, Praetor FC, ISD-I FC, ISD-I, Altor, 5x VSD-I, 3x VSD-II, 7x Dreadnaught, 10x Strike-Cruiser, 10x Lancer, 5x Escort Carriers, 2x Immobilizer 418), with of course the up close and personal on the Sovereign.

Not a huge difference.  1.6 < 15 vs. 4.8 < 19.  While it is a slightly larger difference, percentage-wise much smaller difference.  Although at 15 km vs. 19 km, they're both gargantuan.  Very little difference when you see them on the screen at the same time.

Well, even in the Star Wars universe the Dreadnoughts were short lived as anything other than defensive vessels.  By the legacy era dreadnoughts were basically extinct (although I'm sure KDY still kept some setting around in defense of it's shipyards, as that's what the Mandator I was designed for, simply defending KDY holdings during the Republic).

Assuming that kind of space travel or interplanetary/interstaller civilizations ever become a thing, it's not terribly unreasonable that we might someday make spaceships that big, whether for commercial, military or civilian purposes. The largest naval ships we have are already about a third the length of ISDs (mostly oil tankers, with military vessels being a 6th)

Even at the end of WW2 the battleship had been made obsolete. Light cruisers, destroyers and carriers formed the modern battlefleet and all 3 types of ship had proved to be truly flexible and formidable in battle!

Submarines but the final nail in the coffin of a battleship and in the 60s when Nuclear submarines came along they become the "modern battleship".

Indeed you are right, but that's here on the ground (or sea) space might be way different, you might just need to make a flying city with guns to make it suitable for large trips and conquest, and that means something big

The problem could come down to the same as the dreadnoughts though.  While big, heavily armed, they were simply so slow that they could be defeated by smaller ships that could easily outmaneuver them.

I get the feeling that slow in space isn't that slow actually, it's pretty fast, and besides if you have a bigger ship you can have a bigger engine and that means faster and also you can carry more fuel, while a small ship would be suitable for garrison and a short range of action, I belive that big ones are required for larger trips, just my opinion

Nah, PA and EotH abilities (except for some of the more obvious ones) are after tech. When I'm working on stuff, I build based on what I need to test or get a screengrab of, which in this case was the Dominator model.

The Interdiction ability is something I still want to rewrite.

Ah, makes sense then.  I'm starting to enjoy the EoTH with how far you've got it.  Other than the obvious issue of Syndic still being significantly more powerful than the Phalanx, they're feeling much like the IR & NR were when we first started alpha testing.  And I adore their interdictor in this game.  Never really cared about it in ICW, but in Ascendency, it is a pure joy.

I can't quite grasp the Secutor yet.  For some reason, despite it being a carrier, the AI likes to take and fly into the middle of the enemy fleet with them.  I'll have every capital ship setting back firing, except the Secutors that fly forward into the middle of the enemy.  Needless to say, I lose a lot of Secutors.

Muni's are much more important in this game than in ICW too.  They're by far the best overall frigate for the PA, although they're going to need some balancing.  At this point they have the same fleet cost as a VSD-I, while not carrying any fighters, and having significantly less firepower (although they do good ion cannon damage, so strip shields quick, which VSD-I's can't do).  But then, basically nothing to do with the PA or the EoTH has even looked at balancing, so this isn't in the least bit surprising.

Exactly. Once you reach a certain mass of bombers no amount of fighters will stop them. Ie fighters do not "intercept" bombers so much shoot at them as they move. Due to the size of gravity wells and the speed of fighters it makes it very difficult to stop bomb spam with equal (or even greater) numbers of fighters. You need to use anti-fighter escorts. At that point why bother with fighters at all. Just anti-fighter frigates and combat ships with a good mix of support ships. Winner.

No, I've found if you have decent fighters (not Tie Fighters), they do a fairly decent job.  In a giant battle my Interceptors were definitely keeping the bombing runs to a minimal on my ships (2 fleets of ~50-60 ships each side; fighter:bomber ration on my fleets is close to 1:2), and I experienced only minimal losses due to their heavy frigates and caps combining fire on my poor nearly defenseless Dominator cruisers.

Hmmm. Well I've played Republic in this game more than Imperial and all I can say is that the Republic almost inevitably seem to lose the fighter battle in anything other than a knock out situation. Tie Interceptors coupled with the sheer number of squadrons + so much larger supply mean you really do struggle. This is only exasperated by the fact that Sins doesn't seem to support shields on fighters so republic craft simply cannot be as strong as they should be.

I'm sure Corey&Co have drastically upped the health points of the NR & EoTH fighters to make them significantly more durable than the IR/PA ones.  I've played a lot as the NR, and while it is harder to win through military, that's as it should be.  The NR had a much smaller focus on that, but I've never noticed that IR bombers were able to wreck my fleets, it's those freaking ISD-II's w/ VSD's supporting them that usually trash my ships.  In my experiences their bombers are quite decently contained by my fighters.  But that's my experience, and why Corey's going to be having more people testing (not trying to sound cocky, but I'm rather good with the NR in this game, which is why everyone ganged up on me when we recorded the very first multiplayer) to get the balancing right.

Fair enough. Well I'll try using the fighter ratio you talked about. Also how carrier heavy do you go in terms of warships. How many of your capitals do you use as carriers vs the carrier cruiser? If you don't mind me asking is the A-wing always better than the X-wing or does it depend? I assume in Sins the Y-wing is a flat out bomber rather than bomber/fighter. Sorry for the 20 questions. Just keen to get some knowledge from a NR player as NR/EoTH will be the 2 races I probably end up playing the most.
Title: Re: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread
Post by: tlmiller on November 03, 2015, 10:03:17 PM
OK, for the Alliance, I go completely differently.  Ships that have any of the "elite" ships I build them (K-Wing, E-Wing).  Of ships that have basic A-Wing, X-Wing, Y-Wing, B-Wing I will go 1:1:1 A-Wings:X-Wings:B-Wings.  I will not build Y-Wings once I have researched the B-Wing, it's simply too slow and is absolutely chewed to PIECES by Interceptors.  So if a ship has only X or Y, I build X's always.  Then offset by building a bunch of B's in another ship.

Carriers, as the PA I spam them like insane, like a full 25% of the entire fleet (between Acclamators, Venators, and Secutors).  But currently, they get no elite bomber, so I'll probably back off once they get that.  For the NR, I do ~15%-20% carriers.

As far as the A-Wing vs. X-Wing, the answer is maybe.  If you're going against enemy fighters, the A-Wing is always superior to the X-Wing.  Yes, it has less weapons, but it's faster and more maneuverable so actually harder to kill.  If you're trying to take out ships, then the X-Wing is always superior, as it has proton torpedoes instead of concussion missiles, so does more damage (legends-wise, in the game I just assume this is still the case).

In celebration of the new model, and because I thought it would be funny and it was possible with how Corey is testing the new BD model, here's a picture of a space whale, being escorted by entirely too many Battle Dragons...

That I'd disagree with.  Unmodded sins is a complete and utter bore, with no originiality or thought to the abilities.  The game designers couldn't have been more than 5, because everyones "research" is identical, and so it's useless to even have it in the game.

A Procursator decides that it's just too hot and tries running away.

Nice shot. Also something that should be fixed: the Chimaera should be using an ISD-2 skin, no?

Got rofled stomped by an Executor and support fleet taking out a border planet before I could field ISD2s. I kept running out of durasteel and forgetting I'm not the NR I can't rely on the black market.

How does one hide the UI when taking screenshots? Been toying around with it but not really sure what to do.

That would be embarrassing, I posted another picture. But I took it down as soon as I posted it, so maybe that's what happened. The picture still shows up for me I think

Okay I did something a tad bit different, if that doesn't work I know what to try next.

Anyway this is my personal "flagship" (a CC victory) looking over a mothballed fleet over Mygeeto. I call it the boneyard, if you get that reference message me.

Attempting to run away? What a silly thought

Now that we're on the screenshotting topic, has anyone had problems screenshotting the galaxy map? I can screenshot ships just fine but the screenshot is really messed up when I try to zoom out and capture the map.  I was trying to create an interactive map I could upload to a website.

Messed up how?
Title: Re: Ascendancy Daily Screenshot Thread
Post by: jsfinis on August 05, 2017, 08:14:14 AM
PA ships are too freaking beautiful, plz nerf Ansel Hsiao. I've always loved the Venator's design, and with the Secutor, Praetor, and Bellator, I just have way too much eye-candy; I literally can't micro because I keep zooming in and salivating over them, which is quite a serious balancing issue. If we could somehow get the Assertor Star Dreadnought (I don't even care if it was just the model with no weapons or hull), I'd be PA for lyfe. Just hand-wave and say Kaine wanted to pimp his ride and ditch the boring Executor :D It's not even cool anymore, like, everyone has an Executor but at least Daala's is black lol.

Also, I feel like you guys shouldn't have made the EoTH Peltast, now the other EoTH ships just make me want to cry ;D I guess it was two different artists who worked on the initial roster and the later Peltast; very different design choices. EoTH's strikecraft are to die for, however, simply gorgeous and a shame since you forget to zoom in on SC most of the time.

Love the IR's Allegiance reskin, looks stunning; I think the World Devastator could use one as well, or maybe just deviate from the Rogue Squadron design since, to be perfectly honest, whoever made that model wasn't a very talented designer (great game though); and I wish we could've picked some other ship than the Torpedo Sphere because it's a Torpedo Sphere, and it doesn't matter how cool the lore is if the designer just said "how about a hard-boiled egg that bombs planets? ayylmao muh concentric rings of proton launchers doe, das creative"

Played ICW this morning, and some Ascendency this evening.  Built a fleet that might have been just a LITTLE bit overkill for the size of the galaxy I was playing on.
