Reply to When will the price drop? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

What with the way the American dollar is going atm, I got Sins downloaded at bargin prices. Usually I would have had to pay $70-$90 Australian dollars at a store to get a new PC game instead of $49.00. ($90-$120 for a new console game.) [quote]The local Wal-Mart had five copies the last time I was there (Thursday) and there were five copies the very first time I saw it on the shelf and every time I went between then and Thursday, so I don't think it's in any danger of selling out there

Reply to Revert Sins Windows Theme back to "normal" in Technical Sins Forums

Yeah I have had the same problem I found that it is not a trivial thing though some people would have me believe it to be so. I tried the Sins theme but found the theme too heavy to stay. It was also somewhat unstable, my windows kept freezing after I had applied the Theme so I used MyColors Vista Desktop option to revert to default, In my previous experience with other Stardock apps I found you cannot just try to use windows features to restore default themes, windowblinds, icons

Should just be able to hold the button down to build up the amount or have a slider or a text box to type in the amount ...pretty much anything would be better than clicking the button a 1000 times....

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Collector's Edition vs. Standard in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Well.. The MyColors theme is extremely unstable, at least on my system. But that's no big suprise, I've had the same troubles before with Stardock products. As soon as I installed the Sins theme IE7 and Explorer froze multiple times then WMP11 disappeared and I had to end the processes in Task Manager. Pretty much made Windows unusable even immediately after reboots. Worst of all when I try to get rid of the Sins theme by applying Vista Desktop it leaves behind corrupted window

[quote]I know, and I still don't think it qualifies for a research."General Hammond, we need to add more ships to our fleets, but we don't know how to do it!"- "A serious concern indeed, I'll notify the research division heads about this. Hopefully they can figure out why we can't just build more ships."[/quote] Don't think of it as research, think of it as training bright young officers to command those extra ships. Think of it as researching new training techniques.

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Collector's Edition vs. Standard in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Just a thought, is it possible to get the Sins theme on it's own through wincustomize or whatever? Also can anyone tell me what the Vista icon for Sins looks like cause the demo has a ugly gamebox picture for an icon. I hope the full version has a good looking one for the Games Explorer.

Reply to Question about Object Desktop subscription in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Nope, doing that just gets me a list of my serial numbers and links to SDC, which when I enter my numbers, only tells my subscription has ended and shows me shareware versions. When I say 'archived apps invariably failed to work when re-installed' I mean it seriously, not once have I been able to successfully archive an app, and then get it to work later.

Reply to Poll Results: Cell Phone Themes in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

When I think of cell phone themes I think of all those incredibly annoying late night ads that bombard you with tones and wallpapers that cost $4.00 a pop if you TEXT NOW! They are right up there in annoyance with the 'text the scantily clad bot for a date tonight' ads Every glittery teenie magazine is clogged with pages of the same stuff, giant lists of phone themes meant to rip off kids who buy them by the dozen on their parents credit cards The whole idea is pretty horrible to me so

Saying it was 4X was just a marketing ploy to get Stardocks GalCiv fans on board.

Reply to [ANSWERED] Dual-Core Support in Technical Sins Forums

oops double post I suppose I am dissapointed that Sins doesn't support multi-core CPUs, I thought I read that the game was able to scale for users of old PCs and the those who use the newest but I guess it's not really true.

Question about Object Desktop subscription in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I bought a Object Desktop last year that has since run out. I thought the deal was that I could get updates to my software until my subscription ran out but it seems I can no longer download Windowblinds 6 at all and I am limited to downloading a shareware version of WindowBlinds 4. Anyone know how this is suppose to work, when my subscription ends do I no longer have the ability to download the latest update available at the time my subscription ended??? I just re-formatted m

I also think the space available to name ships is far too short, all the AIs can call their ships longer names such as "Altarian Heavy Fighter M1 V2" but I couldn't name my ships the same way because I run out of typing space...it's not fair!

Reply to TotA beta bug: Return of the Dread Lords DA campaign mission in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Are the old DL and DA campaigns suppose to be able to work under TA 0.95[b]002 ?? because I am having a hard time trying to get the game to work when I try. Many times the tech tree reverts to the older DL or DA versions which in an ongoing game totally screws things up causing crashes when the game doesn't know what it's doing I also get constant crashes between scenarios when I try to continue to the next level. The UI is real messed up with buttons not working and borders missing
