[quote who="BlazeHunter2500" reply="19" id="3346832"] The High and lofty ideas part was directed at Xathos. Its a little annoying when you create a forum to find information out and to spread an idea and some guy comes on and tries to shoot you in the face and say your stupid.[/quote] I never once called you, or your idea, stupid. If I'm calling you anything, it's naive. Anybody that ever played game to any good degree, or has any understanding with

[quote who="BlazeHunter2500" reply="13" id="3346373"] Why do people come up with Radical gameplay ideas? Because they hope it can. [/quote] Not when you assume such a thing can work, and don't understand why it won't. In most cases, you'd need the game's source code for such things. You shouldn't hold such high and lofty ideas for an old and indy deved game engine. You're only going to disappoint yourself.

[quote who="jkmaster9918" reply="11" id="3262225"](but that's what happens when your OS is for both tablet and desktop).[/quote] This, but they were mainly focusing on using it for tablets. It's too watered down, and unless they have a fully functional Windows Pro version, nobody will switch to it for gaming (aside from what devs are trashing it for). The start screen is stupid, and not needed. How hard was it to make a Windows OS for tablets, or

Reply to Mod merger? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

You're looking at something I've spent alot of time doing through the last two years. It started off as finding a way to finetune DS to work better within the engine limits (aside from TSOP) to rebalancing the existing races for better gameplay to being ballsy enough to add whole races to that base, and go through the process of rebalancing and defining them to be unique. Ultimately, as long as you aren't republishing work with

Windows 8 is a steaming pile of shit regarding gaming. Removal of other features also didn't help it. They gave away too much to in favor of tablets. There is no wonder many gaming devs. are staying away from it.

[quote who="AseOfSpadez" reply="1360" id="3239002"]You really need to reduce the eco slots on the dyson planets by a factor of about 5. I can get about 300 cred just from trade ports on a dyson sphere. no upgrades. Also, make the population on the dyson swarms grow by about another 35% less. Mine got up to 600 creds a sec with upgrades and that's crap. I don't know if you guys have fixed this in the last few months, but if you haven't, pleas

Reply to A Vote to Ban Advent Rebel in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

[quote quoting="post"] In online games, advent rebel have a significant advantage against all the other factions. I am not saying they are strictly over powered. What I am saying is wail of sacrifice is unbalanced because it gives a potential advantage to the Advent Rebel. For clarifications, wail is only effective when used on ice, desert, or terran planets. It deals 20 damage for every population sacrificed on that plane
