Very nice ManSh00ter... Particles are so much fun to play with... Can't wait to see the Chuck Norris Class supership explode when scuttled (after all, nothing can actually destroy it) :CONGRAT:

I am happy that you're all standing up for the features you want in SINS... If you could have [I][B]everything[/B][/I] you want in a Perfect Campaign, then what are all those things??? (not simply that you want them) That way, when the developers read this part, they will make [I][B]better[/B][/I] campaigns...

Harry Harrison (Stainless Steel Rat) Also, the brilliant Haruki Murakami: (A Wild Sheep Chase) Has anyone ever read the original 10 page short story of that bad movie last year: [size="5"]Mimsy were the Borogoves[/size] The point of the story was that we are taught ways of thinking, but there are other ways of thinking, based on understanding instead of perception... It's still my single favorite story, even if the movie was bad...

Reply to A question about turning building models into firgates in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Also, you should save it as a separate file to keep from interfering with the original intended purpose of the mesh (I do this so I know it's my new stuff causing the minidump and not conflicts with the old stuff)

Reply to A question about turning building models into firgates in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Most abilities don't need the dummy points added to the mesh... However some of them need a place to emanate from, like a beam weapon, and some abilities use the "center" and "aura" dummy points to show a persistant effect... So to be safe, cut and paste a collection of dummy points into the mesh if it doesn't have any, if you intend to re-purpose any of the meshes... Just be sure to count them and adjust the total at the top...

Reply to Galactic Modding team in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Also... ...there are those who make videos that make it look like they have a feature that they don't actually have, because of ego or they want to be first or something... It all boils down to the thinly veiled competition that so many people have with one-another (are we all so different from the sins AI that says "attack my planet", when they really mean: "get your fleet destroyed so I can invade you") So many people say competition brings development, but the sabotage

...Bad news... The proximity activation I've been using with frigates didn't transfer to planet-modules, so it won't help with the mine-fields...

That works... ...I have Tech Refineries going around laying siege to planets, with a big giant beam weapon emanating from the front docking port... Just one thing though... ...you are going to need to add dummy points for weapons, hanger bays, abilities, and whatever else you may want... ...or you get a minidump...

Reply to 2k's excuss for not having Civilization Revolution on PC, total BS? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Maybe they outsourced the game to a "platform developer", one who doesn't know how to make games on real computers??? That would explain how they can be so sure they will never, never make it PC, and the rest of the excuses would be to cover this up???

Reply to Outposts? I think we should have 'em in the game. in Strategy Sins Forums

I wish you could just toss a constructor module out the back of a SOVA, whenever you wanted to!!! Not only could you build bases in uncolonizable zones, but you could dump out 50 constructors at an enemy fortified planet and build a fleet of defense cannons and hanger bays!!! I haven't tried it yet, but you might have to "own" the gravity well first...
