[quote who="myfist0" reply="4" id="2981282"]That is not an in-game shot. It's a Softimage screenshot with the -cl texture only. Just like these...[/quote] And graphically speaking, the new(er) TEC bomber still looks the best. But lining up the old bomber and the fighter together, you can tell that they were modeled to be cohesive in design.

[quote who="Peter1x9" reply="7" id="2981124"]For Windows 7, (no matter where you installed the game) it creates the mod and settings directory way off in c:\users\yournamehere\AppData\local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire[/quote] This is also the directory for Vista. @OP- the directory is a hidden one on Vista&Win7. If you're using said OSs, make sure to tic the "show hidden files&folders" option.
[quote who="CanadaMan777" reply="1" id="2981109"]Man, that looks WAY better than the current one.[/quote] I disagree- but I do think that the old one looked quite epic. It does fit somewhat better with the TEC fighter- but then again, I really like the new(er) TEC bomber. If this one got the same kind of graphical makeover (nothing suggested/intended) that the TEC bomber currently benefits from, I think it'd be serious competition. @OP- my suggestion
[quote who="KrdaxDrkrun" reply="31" id="2980666"]Hmmm. How does one take a picture using a built-in webcam? I have an HP Touchsmart computer. I'm sure that this is a stupid question.[/quote] It has something to do with the webcam; the software on my now-bricked HP had a function wherein the webcam could take a snapshot. Note that the quality is quite horrendous when compared to an actual camera.

[quote who="KidInTheHall28" reply="6" id="2979414"]don't want to pay $70 a piece for like 30-50 ships.[/quote] Well, the thing is, if they went that route, then they'd almost certainly have only a few models available- at most, all the races' capital ships, but no cruisers, frigates, or strikecraft. OTOH, given the relative levels of detail that are built into the models and textures compared to EVE Online's assets, the resin casts of a Sins capital ship would probably

[quote]Just a suggestion, you guys should see about meeting up with a good quality diecast model manufacturer and consider selling Diecast models of the ships from SoASE, You could sell them for $15 bucks from the Sins store so I could play......I mean collect them.[/quote] I think that this depends on the quality that they'd want to get from the models, and the amount they want to sell; do they want to sell large quantities, or do they want these to be more akin to a collector

[quote who="CopperCrab" reply="265" id="2978104"]I have a question. I know that this is a multiplayer only mod, in fact I kinda prefer it that way. My problem is that I SUCK, not in real life of course (because I'm awesome) but rather I really am terrible at games (and yet I still keep coming back for more punishment). Is there going to be any way of making sure I don't suck every game.... What I am getting at is matchmaking in the mod....[/quote] Play with friends.<
