Reply to The Official "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" MEGAThread in PC Gaming Sins Forums

About to play my copy for the first time. I watched the DTOID review to get a better idea of what to expect. The same sensitive friendly fire AI issues as in Oblivion, but nothing that can't be patched/modded out. That's the only real beef I've seen anyone give this game. [quote who="Windexglow" reply="5" id="3022310"] But from what I've heard..it isn't much of an upgrade over oblivion. The rendering still has that dead f

Reply to Whats with the horrible multiplayer public community? in Multiplayer Organizer Sins Forums

[quote who="boshimi336" reply="44" id="3018639"] To each their own, though I do fall in the 'long session' category.[/quote] It's much better to be able to have the option to physically hurt your opponent. Think about it. Besides, LANing always win in multiplayer. It's become more of a lost art due to laziness from developers. Just like not everything has to have a tower defense/DOTA element in it.

Reply to Peculiar Deceleration Values in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Anyone happen to know why all the deceleration values for ships are numbers like 9.99998 or 49.999992? If, say, such values were changed to "nice" numbers like 10 or 50, would something go haywire? I suppose in the grand scheme of things it hardly matters since .000001 is negligible...nevertheless, I'm still curious.... [/quote] You can make the same argument for the damage values, as well. It's just how they

[quote who="Tridus"] Quoting Phenoca, reply 30Steam is excellent. You like having extra DRM? Gotcha. Linux evangelists tried to woo people away from Windows for years with very similar lines about how the control Microsoft had over your computer was scary and evil and bad.

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="4" id="3017022"] Many people, me included, do not accept Steam's policies and refuse to patronize them as a result. Admittedly these days you must read the fine print to find out what you're buying into if you want to avoid DRM. For people trying to avoid Steam, Impulse has really been one of the last bastions. The fact that Gamestop has apparently capitulated doesn't bode well. For people who want to avoid Steam, the c

[quote who="Wrath89" reply="31" id="3017522"] Regardless of fleet supply, you have to make strategic decisions about what kind of ship to build, about where to position your fleet, when to move your frig factories, when to build defenses, when to retreat, when to attack an enemy's HW or to culture them to death, when to build trade ports or to feed allies, when to send a SB, when to double a dangerous player even if it means you yourself lose to the guy on the other side of you...<br

[quote who="JA_394" reply="25" id="3017402"] Sins, at the moment, is a game of spam, spam, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, M************ SPAM. It should be about strategy, not about who gets LRF, Phase Missiles, and Bombers first.[/quote] Why are you censoring yourself? What are you, ten? Anyway, if you want strategy, cut the fleet supply in half. There's your strategy. Forces you to have to think about what you build.

I've always been of the point of view that you start with learning the basics off your own mods to the vanilla game before doing major changes to someone else's mod.
