Reply to What is this community's opinion of competitive multiplayer? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I think that the EVE style multiplayer would be neat. However, trying to work this out in my head, I don't know how it would be possible. Would the "campaign" be open to anyone who wants to play online? Would you have to schedule a match for a contested system? Would clans/guilds/alliances be able to control swaths of space and defend it against others? From what I can see you have a few options with respect to combat in contested systems: 1.

Reply to UI / AI feature request in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

The AI doesn't currently avoid your cannons. There are much better placements for your cannons than at the entrances to your solar system - use them to protect key structures would be a better idea. Increasing their range so they can hit the jump point is rather absurd, as it would remove any need for any other type of mobile defense. If you rely only on cannons and you they get bypassed, then it is time to build a defensive fleet. The fewer turtle option

I've been a long time lurker here. Browsing during downtime at work Anyways, this Fleet Composition issue is killing me.

I have a similar problem. However, there seems to be a graphical glitch in my ship stack area, when I click on it, it crashes the game. Not only that, but now, at what seems at random, the inital menu screen will freeze right before the fly-in movie starts, and right after the doors open. Here is the debug that I found. Debug Message: ******* Starting Game Shell ******* Debug Message: Going Fullscreen Debug Message: Preparing to change display settings. Debug Message: RG

Same thing happens to me here on XP. Except if I am creative enough I can get task manager to close the program and escape the reboot.
