my guess is sins is not suited for this type of modding, adding armor values and making the unit change to ideal locations is not something that can easily be done requires some calculations and i dont think sins's engine was meant for that olmost all of the modern games are intentioanly lowering cpu-needs becuase otherwise customers would drop u might have a triple-quad core plugged in, but i certainly dont,
just like blair said, you can redownload sins of a solar empire indefinatly (there's no time limit) all you need is your impulse account info (login etc.) and ofcourse impulse from impulsedriven.com after that you can download it as often as you like, and on any computer you like you CAN order sins of a solar empire WITH the box (not sure if theyre sold out though..) initially, you can just down

[quote who="SunnyVS" reply="2" id="2256002"]Ok it maybe an error within the coding of the game, but if you think about it, isnt it possible for ships in space to full stop, and carry on fireing at the enemie? I was speaking to you before about this in the lobby. and btw, nice using the ion bolt to stop the marza.[/quote] theres nothing wrong with realism, i agree, but dont forget that fighters suddenly get very powerfull. if this is
i jsut completed this game where i noticed an most unusual strategy concerning fighters, namely, setting the fighters behaviour to, "hold position" what happens is that the fighters wil move in a ball when ordered 2 move shooting anything they encounter, he especialy used this tactic 2 move his (20+-) fighter spam evading my flak frigates, and getting behind my LRF frigates, killling only 10 of them in under 10 seconds<
C&C Tiberium Wars Spore (it was a dream coming true... a realistic Evolution sim... until the kiddy-lovers showed up and turned it into a kiddy's playdome...) i agree the CC was worth the 10$ Age of Empires 3 (doesnt work on my pc..

I really don't think there's all that much abuse online; these concerns that people have are real but overblown IMHO.

That's not the point. The point is that no other lvl 6 cap ability comes close to competing with the power of a Missile Barrage. It is about the burden of countering a single ability and keeping that
im not sure what you mean by making all expansions compatible.. if you mean that entrenchment players also being able 2 play vanilla games, just quit, launch vanilla (i do agree they need a "launch Sins of a Solar Empire" button on the entrenchment main menu like they have on sins of a solar empire main menu (launch Entrenchment) makes switching that much easier ofc the dev's could put their time into the game auto-load
[quote who="Darvin3" reply="3" id="2250606"] I also notice we're not even going to bother comparing the disciple to the skirmisher. Kind of strengthens what I've been saying around here for some time: the light frigate just doesn't have a substantial role within the larger fleet.[/quote] comparing light frigates is difficult as they help in racial strategies (disciple's steal antimatter = interesting for an antimatter dependant faction..)</p
AI = a joke, tactics are ... dumb, wil rush straight into a minefield and 2 starbases (even if his fleet couldnt have taken out a single starbase) (i DO admit, being dumb has its advantages... i'd never anticipated that he'd attack that useless roid over a lightly defended terran, (thus my fleet was at the wrong location, and i ended up losing the roid and 2 nearby worlds b4 i pushed him off) 1 thing 2
i never scuttle my cap-ship factory, cuase my nextcap-ship is never far away building research stations dependso n the game, map-size, recon etc. if i c an advent player building up 3 temples of hostilities i'd need a good explanation to make civ's instead of military my fav. race = the TEC (lego's...) as a TEC i build civ labs 90% of the time.. maybe 95% the t2 tradeport is easy to get, and a must for quick

titel says everything, not a big issue, but annoying when theres something urgent going on and u have 2 pause, but cannot explain why during pause mode ofc simple solution = saying it b4 you pause, but i (and im sure alot of others do 2) forget it >.> and end up using 2 allowed pauses any thoughts?
hm >.> 4 hard ai's = easy actually pick the smallest 5 player map u can find put all the 4 ai's in hard mode, and, lock the teams and put them in team 2,3,4,5 (you being 1) build up like usual, but don wait for the ai's to finish eachtoher then come to you. if you'r stil having trouble you might wanna play online a bit, and host "comp stomps" and learn from others there
