- Sova carrier uses Embargo while it's in plasma storms. Duh? It should only use Embargo on auto-cast if it's in a grav well under enemy control, IMO. - AI has an near impossible chance of spreading it's empire across planets if it starts next to Ice/Volcanic planets, it a) can't figure out how to manage it's research stations such to reach the required techs or scuttle older stations in favor of say more Civic stations, even if it has a minimal amount of planets.

XP vs Vista performance after 7 months in Everything Else Sins Forums

Firingsquad Performance is similar with both OS', when disregarding SLI and Crossfire setups. Well within the margin of error in most cases, and largely insignificant in others.

My reaction: WTF?! Aren't capitols immune to culture? Why would/should they be? It's akin to having the sufficient % of culture in the galaxy in Galactic Civilization 2, where the rest of the alien races adopts your culture because it's the most dominant one, and thus viewed as the "best". It's a strategy just as conquest is. And serves as another factor to defend against.

Driver Version 7.15.11.6222 PoorManDSO, try the http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_163.69.html driver. See if it makes a difference. Remember to uninstall the previous driver first. Seems that sometimes when typing a in-game chat message, the game interprets the typing as pressing hotkeys. Doesn't happen all the time, though. I got the same problem during the second online game I played.

Reply to Culture Destruction? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I am not a huge fan myself of artificial aids like no rush time limits, or double resources or quick start ups, as I feel it detracts a great deal from the strategy. On a personal note, "rushing" was what singlehandedly killed all incentive to ever play RTS games online for me, and why I stick to LAN play entirely. I have never been able to see what possible enjoyment could come out from finishing a game after 5 minutes

Somewhat of an older issue, the Akkan doesn't benefit from a higher rank Ion Cannon ability, or the colonize ability. Are they going to change? Either shorter Recast Timers or Reduced Antimatter costs, or entirely different effects?

Reply to AI - Autoretreat option in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

While it might be great for singleplayer, isn't that a tad too out of place for Multiplayer games? The point being that, there should be some elements that requires the players attention, beyond telling ships where to go. If you're losing you shouldn't have a "Get out of Jail" free card for your ships. Either retreat manually or not at all, in my opinion. Yeah auto retreat is a must imho , saves my butt a lot in COH.

I'm pretty sure they already can? I'm pretty positive I've seen 'em firing off-plane. Yeah, they can. I'm guessing that Nova seriously misunderstood the point. I replied to the following. Wrong. As was said above, you can easily avoid gauss cannons by flying over them or under them, making them useless against a human player.</div

Trade and Refinery ships should be reduced in priority for combat ships to the point that they come after any opposing ships and structures. There's little point in blowing them out of the sky while there is still an enemy presence in the gravity well in the form of ships or structures. Even Firefox has built in grammar correction now a days. That's like the ultimate tool above and beyond all else. <br/

Wrong. As was said above, you can easily avoid gauss cannons by flying over them or under them, making them useless against a human player. This sounds more like the Gauss turrets should be able to rotate it's turrets, as opposed to being fixed to fire along the X/Y axis only. As for 3D movement, and wanting fleets to fly over other fleets, I can't see how that accomplishes anything of value. The opposing ships would simply lift their front

Pausing in MP would kill the pace anyway. I can't forsee people wanting to play beyond 3-4 hour session games. Least that's what my magical eight ball says.

July interview with Brad Wardell in Everything Else Sins Forums

It's from July 26th so really old news, but I didn't see it posted anywhere so figured it might be news to some other people as well. It's an interesting insight in to the history of Stardock, plus it mentions a possible release date for their fantasy 4x game. 2009 seems like a distant future though, with public beta in 2008. The mere mention of a MoM like game, in combination with the talent of Stardock, makes me long for 2009 to come around already. Someone hook me up wi

Jperzio, would you please restate your comment more clearly? In fact, might I recommend that you type your posts out in word, or some other processor, and spell / grammar check them before you post them? You're very hard to read, and I usually just end up skipping your posts. Spellcheck.net is a tool I used a lot my self some years back. That and google

Reply to Thoughts on AI after latest update in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

A phase jump inhibitor would fix that in a heart beat. As of the latest patch the Phase Jump Inhibitor only blocks travel to other planets under your control. So the AI would still have been able to jump back in the above scenario. Unless it came from one of your other controlled planets. In other words, the PJI doesn't do much for borderline fighting at the edge of controlled space.
