I don't think that's necessarily true.  When I play I set Firefox and some other things to Core #0 and Sins to Core #1 and give Sins high priority.  I think it works better than allowing all programs to run on both cores.  So, having a multicore system gives you the option of dedicating one of those cores to Sins.  (Hopefully Windows is smart enough to run itself on the other cores.)

WOW.

And here I thought you guys abandoned us.  Especially us modders out here who make mods bigger than the original game, that stretch the code to the limit.

This is a new horizon for Sins, and for Stardock and Ironclad, and all players and modders alike.

Way to Go!  Can't wait for more news!

Have you noticed how much of each core is used? I have a dual core and Sins uses 50% of each. Maximum. Unless you set it a single core setting. It runs better that way.

The processor is an I7 Quad-core with dual threading so it runs sort of like an 8 core. The four that are getting the most use (1,3,5,7) usually run about 30%. Sometiimes the others get bumped to 5-10% but that could just be another processes getting handled.

The problem I would have if I set SoaSE to run on a single core is that it would only be 1.6GHz. That is low enough that I would probably see some problems.

Also, I haven't run a large map with multiple opponents yet.

I think turrets should be thrown in when ram limits are removed

And perhaps a real Z axis with wider populated planetary disks. Perhaps some grav wells having two planets.

I dearly want a cruiser class below capitals but above kodiaks in size. You should be able to group these and use them as capital hunter killer squadrons. More expensive to make but less population requirement than caps.

and orbiting dammit

Great!

What exactly does "new memory model" mean? Will it be conversion to fully 64bit engine, or just some optimalization of the current 32bit model?

Maybe they will give modders a way to edit the horrendous AI. Nothing cooler than a map where they AI quits long before its defeated. Id sure love as a modder to control the AI a bit more. I could go on and on about the AI but im sure everyone gets the point.

the rapture vertigo autocast will cast on any strikecraft squad that comes across it, wasting antimatter and recharge time, even if there are frigates in the same vicinity. imo it should only fire on strikecraft when they're in a certain number, say, 10. also, manual targeting on sc should be enabled (it currently isn't)

https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/399456 - here is a thread full of good suggestions. 

I do love Sins as it is. It would be great to have a few more bells and whistles. Certainly running more smoothly would be a huge plus. The only thing I thought was missing from the game was additional Caps in the research tree. I was surprised that no additional Caps were released in any of the expansions. It is interesting how new cruiser designs need to be researched yet you have all the technology to build the most advanced ships in your fleet right from the beginning. I'm sure that this has been discussed ad nauseam elsewhere in the forums, but I wanted to add it as a suggestion to this particular thread as it relates to future development. Would also be cool to have a Super Cap. Some kind of Goliath class vessel. Again, there would have to be balance and such, but could be an interesting idea. Limit one per fleet, used for starbase offensive...that kind of thing. 

Super cap flagship is a great idea.   Something like Mamooth tank Mk.II in tiberian sun, you can build only one at a time.

I would go crazy if they add another race.....like a Hive-like/Tyranid/Zerg race.
