Reply to Why PC Gaming is Dying in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Couldn't help but notice the title of the thread. I think subscription games like WoW have mainly taken over what's left the PC gamimg market. You've got millions of PC gamers spending $240+ a year on WoW. Some don't even bother purchasing or playing other PC games. There's also the shift by many publishers and development teams to console gaming. It's somewhat easier to work with: pre-spec'd hardware, gaming experience can be fairly consistent, and development for consoles

Reply to Please Release SoaSE on PS3 in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I have a hard time imagining how you would control SINS on a PS3. Without a mouse and keyboard, I would find playing RTS games in general "difficult to control". As for your 46" TV, I doubt SINS would look that "awesome" on it. A 1080p HDTV with a screen size that big doesn't offer that fine of a detail resolution. I tend to think of it as having a 800 x 600 resolution on a 24" LCD monitor. You can start to make out the pixels. :)

[quote]...I had a Novalith cannon and had fired only twice on a nearby Vasari world I didn't know that it takes three shots to knock a enemy colony world out of the game and so I retract my complaint on that point.[/quote] The amount of shots required to "destroy" a planet is dependent on the infrastructure health of the world in question. The Novalith, btw, does 3000 planetary damage. So when you had to fire your 3rd shot, it was because the world was recolonized after your s

You can already rename capital ships (select one and press y or click on the arrow button above the little screen in the center of the lower panel). As for crawling around the individual units, I think that would be too taxing for most of the gaming systems running this game. Although I do admin, the only other game I've seen do something similar is TA Spring.

I'm going to mod the Miranda ship so it uses the Kol's lasers with increased shielding and hit points. :) Then I'm going it play with it until some sort of beta for this mod is released. :D

Okay, I just built a few and tested it. I don't have that strange glow about my ships. It might be that the glow is part of some sort of group ability when you group ships into a fleet and send them off to battle. Overall, I love the ship. Very nicely detailed and well done for a first model. :D I look forward to its inclusion into the ST mod. :)

Pretty much everything is done as far as I'm concerned. I may try and make a more pronounced bump map, b/c earlier I made one that looked really awesome, but now I can't find it... whatever.

Reply to Learn from past space game mistakes! in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

First off, it is still in BETA, meaning nothing is finalized yet. So as to how the final game turns out, we do not know for certain. If the screenshot previews hold up, then we'll be in for a treat. The other points you have made except for 1 and 6 are doable to a point. 1 and 6 would severly shorten the market range that this game would be sellable to because it would severly increase the amount of resources a system must have for the game to run at a decent pace even in the midst o

I say Monday the 17th. I'm assuming that the Beta 3 MP test will consists of just the TEC faction (like previous Betas), and that most of the work was completed sometime last month. Of course, if they do let us play with one more race...I'd be justifiably happy

8 bits = 1 byte. A 100Mbit (per second) connection roughly transfers at 12.5Mbytes per second. Although the numbers might be visually equivalent, the units are not. They are both measurements of storage. Since we are used to base 10 figures, we usually deal with bytes instead of bits (which is base 2). The machine handles everything in binary (base 2) and therefore does it all in bits (not bytes). I like the 5th (from top) image of the bow of that cruiser and the 3rd (

I would like to see the sources where you get your information and conclusion that "in 2 decades time" the development of AI will exceed human intelligence and capability. From the research I've done online and info from reputable resources, I see a sentient AI far from being able to match a human's ability. We already have a very tough time trying to get a AI to respond to human facial gestures and so forth (this is still being developed at MIT).

WB 6 Beta, Wallpaper Application Freezes Program in WB 6.0 Beta Stardock Forums

Hey everyone, I've updated WB 6 Beta to its latest version via SDC, but everything I open up WB6b to change the wallpaper via the program, it would seem like it is loading the wallpapers, but then when I click elsewhere then click back, the program goes white and freezes on me. How do I fix this?

Well I went ahead and purchased the Object Desktop suite (w/ my coupon as well ). Overall, I am fairly satisfied. I only wish there was a program to modify or change the default XP logon screen (w/ out modifying the APIs or "hooking"). Overall, I've already made some personal changes to the Black Vista v3 skin so it more resembles Vista. I don't plan on (re?)releasing this skin (all credit goes th

Reply to WindowsBlinds and SkinStudio in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Hmm, I originally just wanted WB but after finding a almost-replica of Vista's interface GUI, I wanted to get SS as well to modify it so it comes as close to Vist's GUI as possible (of course without the widget sidebar). I'm not sure I will make use of any of the other programs like DX and such. I will take a more in-depth look into Object Desktop unless someone can pursuade me into the benefits of the other programs besides WB and SS included within it.

Ah, so then the new SkinStudio 6, will that be a Free, Standard, or Pro version? I figured it out, never mind that question. One other question, both purchases of WB and SS includes only 1 year of updates or is it lifetime free updates? And if it is only 1 year free updates, would we have to pay another $20 for each program for another year's worth of updates?

In SDC if you click on a product, near the bottom (in it's own seperate frame) there will be product information such as version, release, and supported operating systems. In some cases, it might even tell you how large the file is. Another question to help out Stardock moderators: Are you using Windows Vista or Windows XP? If you are using Vista, which version (Basic, Premium, Ultimate, etc.)? If you are using XP, which version (Home, Pro)? Can you also post a more detailed spec sh
