Reply to ShackNews Interview with Brad Wardell (Part 1) in Sins News Sins Forums

Personally the whole impulse patching issue is a non point for me because I buy the software and my gaming computer has internet access.. If it didn't have internet access on my gaming computer then I would probably be a little upset and lashing out on the forums. Where else is he supposed to talk about this? If I remember correctly it used to be possible to download the patches directly from the website, if this has changed then Stardock really should mention that an internet connect

Reply to Piracy & PC Gaming in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I think it's nice to see people looking at piracy as something more than a black and white issue here... Game companies so often just consider every pirated copy as a lost sale when in fact nothing could be further from the truth... The reality is no matter what platform you go on you will have pirates, right now it's MUCH easier to pirate a PC game whereas pirating a console game requires a fairly sizable investment and some skill or social connection... I honestly believe as the indus

Reply to Please add design-a-ship ability! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It's quite simple really.... Pause the game while your designing ships... Ship designing shouldn't be allowed in multiplayer but in single player mode I don't see what the big deal is... Or just use a function outside of the game like from the main menu

Reply to Turning off Space Pirates in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I believe back in Beta 2 or 3 you could turn off pirates by simple clicking a box so I would imagine they could simply be turned off unless something has happened in the game development that prevents this now. Overall though I love this game!

Reply to Is it me or the faction are all alike? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

There are differences but one compliant that did come up quite frequently is that all 3 sides generally play the same... There are different tactics for each race but the game does "feel" the same whether your playing TEC or Vasari... It would have been nice to see some major differences between the races but thats the difference between a world altering game like starcraft and a game that rates 8.5 Looking at what stardock has done with the new GalCiv expansion I would expect eventuall

Reply to Causulties of War- Idea for future update/patch in Single Player Sins Forums

I think this is a pretty cool idea kind of like the epic generator that was supposed to go into galciv2: dark avatar. It shouldn't have an affect on morale or really the gameplay at all since this is an RTS but it would bump the immersion factor for those of us who like to roleplay our games a bit

Reply to Twars 2002 <> and Sins.... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I really dont see any meaningful connection.. If any game is similar to twars 2002 it's the X series... Twar was all about trading and building powerful corporations... It was a great game just as SINS is a great game but besides the fact their both in space and both games have trade ports they are just to vastly different to compare.

Reply to ITT: When we preordered Soase in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I actually pre-ordered back in early Beta 3.. I downloaded Beta 2 off a torrent site and became really interested.. When Beta 3 was released I was so hooked I had to buy it.. With the exception of finding out theres no campaign I haven't regretted it yet... However Stardock has never been good at making campaign's (Gal Civ's are all to barebones) so it's probably for the best!

Reply to prepaid in full back when, $44.95. wth? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Ya I have to say I'm a little surprised at this, I suppose one could say we got access to the Beta in exchange for our $5 I would imagine this is just a little PR mistake that will get cleared up and it is only $5 but it's the principal of the matter...

Reply to Define Pre-order in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

While I have only played the game for a few hours.. I have to warn you all that this game is a time waster... I snuck an archived copy into work.. activated it this afternoon and then a funny thing happened.. I loaded up Galciv 2 and somehow time fast forwarded and the next thing I remembered saying was wow.. its dark and realising I somehow had played all afternoon and into the evening... thankfully I noticed the darkness or I would have one angry woman drawing and quatering me right now instea

Problem registering in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Might just be me but for some reason I keep getting a "error registering product" message when I try to register the game.. using same reg key and email address so I dunno what could be causing this... On that note thanks for releasing the product early afternoon Stardock I don't usually buy games but I loved GC1 and you guys deserve every cent.. rock on!
