Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

Diplomacy feature suggestion: giving ships to another empire.

Nice suggestion. Once you get good and cozy with another empire, I think it would be cool to have the option to sell some ships to them. Or vice versa, you could ask for ships by offering big money & metal. During WWII, before Pearl ...

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

The game is still actively in development, but neither of its developers can afford to work on it full-time, so progress is kinda slow.

Hats off to the developers. Goes to show that this game is not only a project they deserve to make some extra coin from (and I'm sure they unfortunately don't ...

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

It was already noted by many players that Ion Beam is... not very exciting. Maybe take straight-forward approach and declare it primarily shield-depleting weapon? Damage against shields is doubled. We have specialized anti-shield missiles, and second way to solve the same puzzle will not hurt.

I ...

Re: Expansion\DLC plans?

Sounds great. I was hoping there'd be a new race along the same lines, focusing on bio-tech. As to how they look, I hope they are drawn very alien. Let your imagination go crazy and a bit darker. I was thinking 'big worm things' with triangular lamprey maws, with no eyes but with unknown sensory ...

Re: Expansion\DLC plans?

A new aquatic bio-engineering faction? Do they have squishy ships that grow bigger as they age?
The ships are mechanical, but some of the systems are bioengineered, and the race itself is bioengineered. They are terraforming specialists, their ideal target being the Coral World.

Sounds great. I ...

Technology




1. Gas Miner (Gas Mining Station)

There's all these great looking gas giant planets around. Instead of only being around to make planetary systems look authentic, I think they should be exploitable via researched technology. The proposed Gas Miner is a large station that collects ...

First impressions and lots of suggestions

First off, I think this game is great. 9/10. No need to go on about how it's a fun retro homage to the space 4X classics, because we all know it just is. And as much as I want to praise the unique innovations that make SiS its own game too, I'll save that for another thread. Let's just say I'm ...
