Sins of a Solar Empire 2 - The Friendly Titan is a Castle in Space - Ep 4

[@brandongraham8755]

The super gun waiting to get in range is like watching the death star in a new hope trying to get in range of yavin

[@Comerade_Daniel]

Star wars reskin?

[@brandongraham8755]

@Comerade_Daniel that would be a awesome idea

[@Nabie2]

This series was really fun to watch. And the awesome thing is this is only one way to play both of these TEC factions Primacy can do Nova Cannon 1 shot enemy home worlds with orbital mechanics, or military research rush Railgun Titan or influence rush to "Insurgencies" that will cause enemy sectors with your culture to just be constantly harassed by non-player controlled fleets trying to liberate the worlds. And Enclave can do garrison worlds (500 fleet supply worth that doesn't effect your supply cap that is passive made on a planet and can either protects that world or be ordered to attack neighboring enemy worlds), or they can military rush the Castle titan or they can do the double starbase and make impossible to seige planets. Combining both garrisons and double star base basically impossible to seige.

[@kttank1612]

Aye, the insurgency by themselves can neutralize enemy worlds given enough time. And while I admit to being a turtler, being able to have the garrisons set to defend up to friendly neighboring gravity wells has saved my bacon a time or two.

[@tiberiosity]

On the story of "Ferengi showing up to steal your hats", My brother has the best story ever in ST: Armada 2. He was playing the Borg on a versus computer run, and he forgot to turn the "Beam over drones" option off on a Tactical Fusion Cube. All the crew beamed off, the ship went derelict, and he just hears this "Hahahah, WAR is good for business!" His reaction was OH NO and by the time he located where it was, this teeny tiny ferengi marauder was dragging a Tactical Fusion Cube off the map.

[@joeycarterhiba6257]

The tech loyalist also get garrisons! They are my favorite because of that.

[@ciselkane05]

I remember back in Sins 1 unmodded Novalith's were infinite range so once you got there you could just build a artillery base system or five, (one planet ahead of it as the only way in fortified to the nines while) where you just put 2 novalith's and set them to auto fire. 2-4 planets worth of novaliths just sees M.A.D Across the map as novalith warheads jump the galactic gulf from star to star hitting planets as fast as there colonized just wiping them out. Made T.E.C players and AI's high priority targets because of there camper sniper ways. putting a limited range on the novalith was a overdue balancer. but im going to miss my 2-3 line of planets with nothing but novaliths behind a fortress world in a deadend branch...

[@bluemodelt]

Just saw the video of Armada 4. It looks so good. Can't wait.

[@xantishayde-walker4593]

The Probe Tube Ship was from Star Trek IV(4): The Voyage Home. It was on Earth wreaking havoc because the whales were gone. That's when they had to slingshot around the Sun to go back in time to "borrow" a few whales from the past and bring them to their present so the Probe Ship could hear the whale song and stop destroying Earth. I had that movie memorized for a long few decades because it was my Dad's favorite Star Trek movie. That's where we got the iconic scene of Scotty trying to talk to the "ancient" computer of the the 1980's. "Hello computer." Nothing happens. I think Bones suggests "Try the mouse." "Oh, ofc." Picks up the mouse and trys to use it like a microphone. "Hello computer." Still nothing. Bones "Why don't you just use the keyboard?" Scotty "Ahh, a keyboard. How quaint." Then he sighs, cracks his knuckles and proceeds to type at 150 WPM, no mistakes. Lol! Edit: Too many "the"s and forgot about the knuckle cracking.

[@guster3360]

Man, I wish the ships would move while they fight. Like the star trek mod for sins 1. Hopefully that mod gets remade for sins 2.

[@Ponyman-1997]

Star Trek Armada 4 has a video on KZbin already

[@ALividPileofDirt]

Corvettes do move around while they fight, making them great against enemies with fixed weaponry, but I agree some of the larger ships should move more.

[@xensan76]

I guess so it's to make people's CPUs not explode, but battles would look way more dynamic with moving ships.

[@xensan76]

I love the design of the Ankylon. It's like someone took a look at a East European apartment block and said "Let's build a spaceship out of that!"

[@joshuastanton6731]

🤣 @ 31 minutes with the two tech titans lol: “The power…” 🤣🤣☠️💀 I could feel the excitement!

[@ericjustice5742]

The Sins of the Solar Empire I think are Wrath, Greed, and Pride.

[@WeirdPros]

Too bad this didn't run long enough for Shack to notice the Titan was ALSO a Novalith

[@ADMNtek]

getting the titan to level 6 takes so long.

[@filtheymcnasty8214]

The sins in the title probably refers to the fact that you can experience all 7 within the game itself.

[@JeffreyClark-j4b]

Please do another co op of this game maybe add a few more people's cause this game looks fantastic. I'd love to see more of you co-op this game. Also Captain Shack rulz

[@fuzztsimmers3415]

enclave get twin fortresses and garrisons

[@frankiesan_FT23]

More please Shack, this was awesome! Co-Op brings more to the game too.

[@joshuagardner3789]

absolutely loved this please shack give us more!

[@Wucked1]

Great co-op game, thanks for the videos!

[@Seresh-j8m]

In the original game, the novalith could target any planet anywhere in the galaxy. But in this one they seemed to make it so it only hits planets next to where it's deployed.

[@joshuastanton6731]

Hey Shack, love the videos. I was wondering if as an “airman,” I believe, would you ever consider War on the Sea? I’ve played it and just through my first campaign, it’s amazing. WW2 dog fights, naval battles, and all genuinely it’s a great game. With your strategic way of thinking and the whole SE series this would be perfect for a naval throwback. lol Semper Fidelis 0311/platoon intelligence 94/100 ASVAB Iraq x 2. Good takes on that last main planet in the previous episode as well.

[@Kamen-Rider-Nexus]

I think the Sins for SoaSE are Pride (TEC), Wrath (Advent), and...I think either Envy, Gluttony, or another helping of Pride (Vasari)...

[@ahemschmeyer]

Really hope we get some SW and ST mods. I couldn’t get Armada 3 to work on Sins1.

[@zeash482]

what happened with the Carrier aborting the jump is it autoused an Ability and that interrupted the jump I think, is hard to tell but the same happened to me with some repair ships that kept using their repair on each other and interrupting their jump charge.

[@datonkallandor8687]

One of the vasari capitals has a phase-jump disruptor ability. Once the jump is cancelled by that, the regular ship AI will kick in and it'll turn to fight rather than re-try to jump.

[@ferretmwalli8886]

Trade by Superior Firepower. Say No to this deal at your own Risk

[@grantmidlane8147]

Epic! Thanks Cap'n! 👍🍻

[@DarthnightKing]

Great work I really like it more please

[@kineuhansen8629]

i cant wait to see the united federation of planet titan

[@diamondq7s124]

Super Gun is like from some anime show XD

[@Kenneth_A_H]

I defiantly would like to se more!

[@Sockosan]

Avi is definitely a pakled, with a big hat. lol

[@killer13324]

they nerfed the novalith's range immensely. in sins 1 you could hit neighboring star systems

[@davidrobinson5057]

For what sin it is for Sins of a Solar Empire is Greed.

[@deanverstraeten3850]

can't wait for modders to release star trek armada

[@johnvavrin7798]

That was Fun! Mwar Pleezz 🙂

[@Etters07]

you should play the Advent or Vasari

[@generichardson4771]

in the original dune picard was in it

[@skipper2285]

SINS = Space Is Not Safe

[@spartananator4191]

Yay more sins!

[@tonypringles2285]

it would be cool to see you play planetary annihilation to. but that game has WAY to MUCH stuff going on at once. you have to command entire armies on multiple planets AND in space?? plus you never get to enjoy the battles since you always have to be zoomed out so you only see the icons and not the actual vehicles themselves

[@TheFlyWahine]

So the space gun's got NO RANGE WHAT SO EVER! That makes it really anoying, stupid and worthles.

[@Neithan02]

sins of a solar empire, is not the Tec pushing out the OG Advent their sin=?

[@carrotsgaming7980]

First, never been this early lol

[@tonypringles2285]

dune 1 and 2 the characters are SO boring. literally no character acting worth talking about. utter drivel
