Reply to The game comes only on CD ? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

wow, I really can't tell if a game is going to be any good, just by looking at the number of discs it comes on...

Reply to Who's preordered the game? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

well, 28 here, means at least several hundred beta testers then.

Reply to Fleet building instead of indivudal ship building in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

hmm, actaully i prefer a much simpler system. simply make a buildque. It would work like this: click Scout 4 times click Battleship 1 time click cruiser 2 times click support 1 time click scout 2 times click "repeat production" button in the que, to loop this production as often as you want. When resources run out, the factory setting will decide wether it will continue building something else (requiring other resources) or wait for more.

Meh, tapes? luxury, in my day (not really but bear with me) we had this one big yellow big, with two fixed controllers and ONE game! four colors? vanity! we had only two. but yeah i wonder how you guys ever put up with those loading times. I remember thinking Doom's loading time was annoying, but then again, I was a sega/snes kid.

Reply to Sword of the Stars..... Anyone play it? in Games Sins Forums

I didn't hate it, but it's a damn shame they didn't make it a lot better. == There's far to little you can do with your planets. == The galactic map is a mess. Path's make no sense and it's near impossible to get your barings, 2d would have been much better. == battle are to small, you can only command 3 battleships and a pair of, near useless, destroyers at the same time and only after quite a significant ammount of research AND a command ship. == strategic map makeup

Reply to Preorder Question frome Germany in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

hehehe, every game released in Germany gets translated, just like every movie and tv series gets lip-synced. needless to say, it kind of a national running gag about our eastern neighbors.

nice list Added to my new "Keep an eye on this game" list Disciples II: Dark Prophecy was one of best turn-based fantasy strategy games of last few years. It was released in 2002, around the same time such "monsters" of this subgenre like Heroes4, Age of Wonders 2 and Etherlords were released. Bwhahahaha, where are they getting

Congrats ironclad, that'll generate quite some free pr for the game, which will be much appreciated by the community (the bigger the better.) well, my top 6 so far 1 Supreme Commander 2 Sins of a solar empire 3 Halo 2 for PC 4 Hellgate london 5 Spore 6 Halflife 2 7 Crysis Sorry guys, sins is not on top, for the simple fact that Supcom will be here first.

Reply to Beta ETA in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

people own 30" screens? and i thought my my 24" was huge. 2048×1536 (go 4:3!) is my max, not that I can actually read anything at that resolution. 1600*1200 is fine by me My bet goes out to 17th febuari, for being a monday. Still, having a set release date will get more people pre-ordering. To the casual observer Sins still has a high vaporware feeling.

Reply to Supreme Commander has gone GOLD in Games Sins Forums

well, there's one good thing about supcom. We europeans get it early for a change. (as in, we don't have to wait for months after release) and as long as they made it work for 2 dualcores i'm happy. The beta now loads one cpu to 99% and the other to a whopping 4.3% --> choppyness also, it's not likely that you've never seen a BSG episode if you're on these boards.

Lighting is still poor though; I would like to see a large lens flare effect or similar when looking into that sun. please don't, or at least make it optional. I liek shiny, but i really, really hate lensflare and 'shinyfiers' that take up hald my screen. Not sure why but the light on the capital ships seem reversed. The capital ship infront seems to be illuminated on the side that is not facing the sun. no, the sun is being 'us' with the ba

well, i'd probably judge with my rating starting at "SEE. MOVIE. NOW!" all the way down to "The DVD is most aerodyanmic" this one is likely to rate "rent sometimes or watch at someone else's place"
