Reply to Diplomacy useless - can ruin a game in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm sorry but some of you are apperently missing a few things about this game. 1. You can designate targets for your capit[B]a[/B]l ships 2. Siege Fleets aren't exactly much of a bother if you know how to counter them. If your getting ganked by siege fleets then use fleet one to attack the first ship in the fleet, while fleet two attacks the last ship, this way there they'll run out of ships before they get to your planet. Also, use shield generators, that is

Reply to Where is my bandwidth Ironclad in Technical Sins Forums

Ok people; let's settle down :) I just took the liberty of talking to a friend of mine who actually OWNS a server (And more) and according to him it's not common for someone to download at 10 gb's a second, as its rare and expensive, but it does exist. In fact, there is an outfit that OFFERS 10 GB DOWNLOAD SPEED, Known as [link="http://www.nelsoncable.com/modem/cable_modem.htm"]Nelson Cable[/link] So in short, I highly doubt AVMF8 has such a connection, so I'm also i

Reply to Sins v1.02 Changelog in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

*yawn* Took me several minutes to read this thread.. Either way, I'm happy at most of these changes. The one to pirates is good, as even though I found unique ways of countering them, it was still annoying to have to go through a bid-fest every twelve minutes. Though with the siege frigate, I never noticed any problems. Perhaps it's because I'm a defensive player (I rarely go out and openly attack unless I KNOW my planets are well protected) then again, I very rarely U

[quote]I spent the first 4 hours with the game trading the 3 drivers I have around to see which was the most stable and they all suffered from alot of recoveries. Soooo, maybe it is a 7 series thing. The older driver tested by and recommended by Alienware (Ya I know)seems to be the most stable with it. But it seemed more of a CPU problem, like it couldnt handle the calculations of all the AI stuff going on. Which was weird cause it wasnt using much CPU... [/quote] That's your

[quote] way from the boarder compared to me being about 150 KM away from the US Boarder. Why do you speak as if Canada was a different country? Everyone knows it's the 51st State.

Reply to Carrier Question in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]Obviously, fighters/bombers with no ship to return to should just kamikaze into enemy ships, doing 1000% more damage per craft. That'll ensure that killing carriers is a lose-lose situation [/quote] When I read this I wondered about one of the abilities of fighters/bombers in this game; can they, like in Homeworld 1, kam

Reply to 11 Days until release and some answers in Sins News Sins Forums

[quote] I mostly play Sins single player. It is a VERY good single player experience and it is not a mere warm up for multiplayer. Single player has diplomacy which matters a LOT. Play a game with 10 players and you'll see how important diplomacy is in single player. [/quote] Glad to hear that as well; I typically only play Single Player in these types of games (Gal Civ 2, SC, CnC...) mostly because people seem to be very cocky and think that only MP mat

Yea, sorry about the revive, this is what happens when you don't have a cup of coffee in the morning ;p Thanks Annatar11 for the reponse :)

Reply to minimum System requirements in Technical Sins Forums

Matthew is right. Contrary to popular belief, Vista wasn't that well received and is also only used by roughly 7% of the gaming community(Figure by Wallstreet Journal). Plus, if Stardock makes this game DX 10, then it'll only support Vista as the OS unless they had DX 9 compatibility, but then it'll be very unfair to players who don't have DX 10 (either due to money or because they just don't have the interest right now) However, I do have a question of my own. I play game's li

Reply to Multiple Ship Entrys, among other things in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Aye, for me it either occurs AFTER I load up the save Or, after twenty-twenty five game years have passed It's VERY annoying espically when I have several custom ship designs and suddenly notice [b]duplicates[/b] of those designs, it's not only very annoying, but also very confusing. If this game wasn't turn based then it would certianly be a murder But yes, for me, the only difference in the duplicates is the speed ye

Good day I found something very odd when I loaded up my save today Last night I started a new game, gigantic, nine races (Nine kinds of fun ) Well, played till two in the morning (this game is addictive...) Then I loaded up the save today and...... well... lets see I had four ADDITIONAL designs now for my four units: I had four new de
