Reply to Sins Enhancement Mod v1.7 3/23/08 UPDATED in Sins Modding Sins Forums

One thing that HAS bothered me about the game is that gravity wells just don't feel very big. Granted you'd have to change the build distances of everything, but especially around stars - the antimatter regen and central nature of stars makes me think they'd be the site of huge, epic, powerful battles. But the star gravity well is tiny indeed. I mean... ITS A STAR. On another note, if you figure out how to stop the AI from being cowards all the time, go for it.

Speeding a school zone is worse than piracy. This thread needs a hefty dose of a fucking clue and a slight reality check. We're talking about photocopying a piece of paper someone else wrote.

Wow. Unlike 99.999% of any kind of fan fiction (yes, you who is reading this, your story fucking blew), this is actually somewhat decent. The writing is a little rambly and meandering, but it sure beats the hell out of anything else anyone has written.

Reply to This game takes too long? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

[quote] I hear a lot of "Its a 4x game, so it should take awhile", when in reality its a mix of 4x and traditional strategy, so in trying to cater to both crowds it must address this concern. It needs a faster game speed meaning quicker build times, research times, lowering resource costs...and only slightly, unit movement and fights because too much on this ruins it. [/quote] Faster speed also turns it into a moronic clickfest. Half the point of

Reply to Screenshot of Fleet Bug in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote] Here's a picture I took that showcases a bug I've viewed for all the races. If I create a fleet, sometimes one ship doesn't want to join the rest of the fleet. I moved the units inside the gravity well but the one outlier there doesn't want to move. It's happened to me quite a bit so I imagine it's easy to replicate. HTH.[/quote] I've had something like that happen. I made a fleet of Cobalts with my Kol as the fleet leader, an

Reply to wat is the purpose of exploration in Strategy Sins Forums

Exploration isn't random. It's fixed at the beginning of the game. I've been playing on a Huge Random and out of the 15-20 properties I own, only ONE ever actually had a planetary event discovered ("High Security Protocols"). The fact that the AI each starts with an artifact in their second planet pissed me off so much I ran some tests and determined that you can just save the game, explore the planet 100%, if you don't find anything, reload and ignore it forever. It's also a c

I honestly can't wait for Stardock to break out of just their 'strategy' type games and apply their vision and quality to some other genres. I have an absolutely phenomenal design in my head for a multiplayer-style FPS game that would mesh beautifully with Stardock's devotion to overarching strategy (thus far at least). The theory behind the game is that both (or more) teams are placed on a map of enormous proportions. Each team is given an irreplaceable, portable spawnpoint that, if de
