Reply to Entrenchment Beta Begins in Sins News Sins Forums

Yup, loaded up Impulse immediately but sadly I'm still stuck waiting for it to be registered. Can't wait until it's ready!

Kangaxx was perfect in that he was brutally hard, but you weren't forced down some linear path of things you HAD to do in order to defeat him. I read or saw many ways people killed him back when I still played it.

Huzzah! My long-awaited pre-order will finally do something. *froths in anticipation*

Reply to [ATTN.: Stardock] Isometric Action RPGs in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Bleh, NWN2 suffers from endlessly broken features that the numerous patches have yet to fix. Plus it is a big resource hog for how little performance you get. I can see why some are drawn into the official campaign and the private servers. There's some appeal there. I'm debating installing it again myself and seeing if I can finally get interested enough to complete the game. Yeah, Dragon Age is not running on the DnD ruleset, but no one who plays DnD games is

Sure. We also would have had to wait a lon

Reply to 1.1 Running really slowly in Technical Sins Forums

Hardware isn't the answer if he truly was running on high and after the patch he runs bad on low. Drivers or failing hardware maybe, but an upgrade shouldn't be the suggested solution. I'd try reverting to an earlier patch and running the game if you archived one. Honestly, I can't see how the 1.1 patch could have really added much in the way of taxing your graphics capability to that sort of degree.

Reply to [MOD] Bailknight`s Graphic Mod for Entrenchment ver 1.02 Fixed 1 in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Just loaded the game up with the mod and it appears to be working fine. Think Annatar has said it will work in another thread as well. You should be fine.

Reply to SoaSE, a Unit Reference Chart, v1.12 uploaded in Strategy Sins Forums

Awesome. Thanks for the update to a great reference material. I still miss the tiny jpeg from long ago that was sort of keycard-sized so you could quickly compare damage and armor types, though. My old copy says it was by SeiraBlack and that it was last updated 2/15/2008, heh. The forum search won't return any results for me, but here's a link to what it looks like: http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sinsshipdamagechartpv1.jpg Any chance you coul

Reply to Tip: when you are losing carriers vs. carriers case..... in Strategy Sins Forums

If you wanted to split your fleet in a situation such as this, about how many light frigates (or whatever other ship you choose) per carrier would you send after? Considering they're virtually empty of strikecraft, I can't imagine the answer would be a ton.

Reply to Cheating in multiplayer mode in latest version of Sins in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]a lone Marza will melt under the combined firepower of 200 ships.[/quote] That's why it's hard for me to believe that this is the issue. Auto-attack would have vaporized the capship, and even if there were a decent number of targets in the gravwell, I'd think any player would right-click the thing moving towards their fleet and then doing significant damage. Capships would be alerting pretty quickly that they were dying and you'd figure out what was shooting them.</

Reply to GAMESPOT HAS NEW ENTRECHMENT PICS INCLUDING OTHER STARBASES! DEC 8 2008! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Bah, it wasn't so much the estimate last time that got a lot of hate but the post on the front page saying the patch was coming out on an exact date and that everything was ready...and then it turned out to be delayed because not everything was ready. Regardless, good luck IC and SD getting us our precious Entrenchment in good shape and soon. Me want. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Reply to The Demise of My Capital Ships in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Yes, I've noticed as well that ships seems to forget about any orders you've given them if they are disrupted in some way. It would be very nice to be able to tell a fleet to travel to a system and no matter what happens to them, they'd keep that as their priority while using auto-abilities as appropriate.

Reply to Planetary shields not working? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I've never had an opportunity to see, but will the shield generator fail if players use abilities to deplete its antimatter reserves to 0? I would assume not.

Reply to Planetary shields not working? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

He's referring to the Planetary Shield Generator the TEC have. I don't know about any current bug in its use, so I'll leave it to the others.

Reply to New Entrenchment Shots Released in Sins News Sins Forums

Two things I was most impressed by were the new skybox and finally seeing a shield bubble around the starbase. Mostly just the scale of it really gives the impression it can soak up some incoming fire. *eagerly awaits notification that the beta is starting*

Reply to Sore Losers who refuse to quit even when the game is long-since over in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I'd imagine that'd cause a hell of a lot of problems in a game where one teammate builds a lot of culture. Would be hard to cap a planet with a time limit while you're waiting for the culture to slide back. That or having to annihilate a whole other system that's stacked broadcast centers just to recapture the first system to prevent the auto-win.

Reply to Floating Eye? in Strategy Sins Forums

Yeah, considering they have no other abilities, I wouldn't mind if they regenerated AM faster while still making it so you couldn't just insta-colonize as soon as you phase into a system.

Reply to Kol Battle ship points in Strategy Sins Forums

It's great later on when you have antimatter regeneration boosts plus a higher level Kol. Early on though, the railgun is a pretty big waste of command points in my experience. The forcefield has been infinitely more useful for me in the early game.

Reply to Vasari tweaks in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I don't play Vasari enough to comment on most of these, however, how is Reintegration bad? Self-heals that stack with repair bay heals or capship healing effects, right? Doesn't this keep enforcers alive a lot longer?

Heh, first person to openly recognize it, Penderin. Glad to see another Xenogears player.

Now that colony frigates start with full antimatter reserves, they're not nearly as bad.
