Reply to THANK YOU STARDOCK, AGAIN! in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

[quote who="Caydr" reply="4" id="2080769"]I wouldn't know, Impulse can't decompress my game. I've removed all Sins-related registry entries, including those which the support team say need to be removed, and I have deleted all Sins-related directories on my computer. I've switched to the legacy download system, and I've rebooted my computer several times. So as frogboy says, thank you Ironclad, your game was fun while I was able to play it, and I don't hold you to

Reply to Globalization, Global Warming, and Overpopulation in Everything Else Stardock Forums

So anyone here mentioned either Z-Homes or how Amphibians are dying off at remarkable rates? The first of the two subjects is neato banditto, homes that produce more energy anually than they use :). (It's happening in my home state). Secondly a collection of creatures that have survived as long as the dinosaurs are finally meeting their match in humans. Kind of funny how we are more dangerous than millions of years of natural disasters, disease, and radiation. As for I

[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="8" id="2065370"]I've never used the template system, so I can't tell you. Usually deleting a design prevents it from showing up in later games. Marking it obsolete removes it from your current build list, but it DOES show in later games. I don't have a clue how to remove templates. [/quote] You can find the templates in your games folder and physically delete them :). That's what I did.

[quote quoting="post"]For having the balls to make a defense heavy expansion pack. I love the idea that turtling can be balanced and so few developers have the courage to attempt this daunting task. Again you have shown me why you are the company to beat for PC games (Blizzard, you better watch out, because Stardock is serving the customer better, IMO). Here here, for the Brave New World that Stardock has ushered in. Have fun everyone. [/quote]

Reply to Impulse virus like activity in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

Well I've installed Impulse on just about every variant of Windows that it is said to work for and never experienced the problem. So I'd say it's something on your end, a hokey reg key or something.

The Internet Mega-Bias in Internet WinCustomize Forums

On the internet I’ve begun to wonder if in fact there is a rule for ignorance. Perhaps some sort of internet mega-bias. I’ve often found it funny that you need a license to drive a car but not to have a child or surf the internet. I know this is an old adage that has probably been joked about many times before I even knew about the inner bowels of the internet (which I likely don’t, I’m probably looking at the shoulders and thinking I’m in deeper). <p

You ever thought that these kind of pictures might just come from someone who thinks she's an idiot and wants a laugh? Or is everything on this planet a dichotomy now?

Reply to Windows 7 Editions Revealed in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="starkers" reply="19" id="2065721"] They may have just lost my purchase, I don't feel like researching what I use to figure out the perfect version for me. Oh come on, I mean, how hard could it be? Microsoft has stated that 2 main versions will be made readily available in stores for the general public, Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional., with Windows 7 Ultimate probably being an 'order in' option if you want it. With editions lower

Shipping Cost? in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

Is it REALLY 10 bucks to have a copy of the game shipped to us from Stardock? I would be really interested in getting a copy of the game that I can hold onto because I'm weird like that but I noticed you guys charge 3 times more than most places for shipping. Do we get our packages delivered by a topless goddess or something? Or is the 10 dollars a gross estimate? Just curious, I mean worst case scenario I'll just buy it from a store but I like Impulse because I can give 100%

Reply to WTF? Did I just pay for a Beta? in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="5" id="2016457"] Suddenly having a Beta appear in "My Games" would quickly lead more then just me to believe we've been duped.Getting something extra equates to being duped? Ah well. Hope all is clear and you are happy with what you have now. [/quote] Yeah that was the most ridiculous thing I've read today :P. "I can't believe you'd give me something extra! You heathens!" :P

[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="1" id="2067727"]That's cool. Why has this been so popular recently? Any particular marketing efforts that would have helped (other than putting on Game of the Year)? [/quote] I like to think it's because I've been telling every person I've met that Stardock is the only company worth mentioning these days for PC gaming :P. I can think of one or two other companies but they don't have the pretty shiny record of interaction with me that S

[quote who="Brakner" reply="10" id="2067684"] For you. Its not always about you.... [/quote] You know just by saying that you defeat your own point right? Because you essentially say the individual's view is void, which then makes your own individual view void. Just figured I'd help you out there.

Yes, simple and straightforward would be nice. But it is still MS, so i suppose we cant expect them to be too different than they always have been.

[quote quoting="post"] Ownership of space? In the mini-map, ownership is shown in your color and every other major race color. I know it has been stated on this forum before that I only own my colonized planets, ships, mines, & starbases within my area of influence in just space in which others see as your empire. Currently if an influence starbase from another race is place right in the center of my area or something like that, I have no way to tell

Extremely unusual. 2) How do I delete old ship templates from the game, I don't see them anymore in either tab in the shipyard YET when I research technologies related to them I see them on the list In the options menu, you can turn off the autodesign feature entirely.
