The State of Console Gaming Today. in Everything Else Stardock Forums

Looking back lately.. at my life of gaming and the state of the gaming industry today... I can safely say that console gaming (and in SOME aspects, PC gaming) is on a narrow-minded road to oblivion. Why? Because gaming is beginning to become the next hollywood. People glamorize and hype the latest games coming out based on mis-information and propaganda. Video games themselves are becoming celebrity icons that people worship and admire, not for the actual game itself, but because

Hey hey! Thanks for the warm welcome folks. :) How are ya'll doing? Drinks anyone? Beer? Wine? Tea? Vodka? Soda? Tofu soda? (haha)

First post, but certainly not last. Say helloooo :) in Everything Else Stardock Forums

Hello folks. This would be my first post here on impulse, and I must say, I am liking the community features available on Impulse. It's much more fleshed out and fuller than Steams. Generally, I don't normally post blogs because of the fact that most blogsites tend to be very immature and unintelligent on "teh interwebz". I like it here on impulse and in general, I'm sure it has a fairly intelligent and like-minded community of gamers and techies all striving t

Reply to Sins Entrenchment Set For February 25 in Sins News Sins Forums

I'd rather we have a delay then rush the game out to the critics only to have them downgrade a review because of an unseen bug or something. And for that, I thank these guys, and appreciate their hard work. Props to Ironclad and Stardock for making a very, very good game. I'm loving what entrenchment has brought to the fold thus far, and I can't wait to see what else Iron and Star have in store for us in the future (literally).

Reply to The 2nd expansion in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I think they should a Sid Meiers Alpha Centaui style story telling thing. You know how even though its 4x by strategy game, there is still a storyline that pops up based over the course of your actions? SOmething like that would be neat, but adapted to real time. It would be a nice way to flesh out the lore. Make it non-intrusive for those who don't care, but give the options for those who do. The other thing I think Sins would benefit from is stronger non-direct military applications

Reply to Vasari Dark Armada tech useless? Help please. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hmm. I dunno. Atleast 10 mins passed on my asteroid planet, and after 3 dark armada attempts, none showed up. I used it 2 times on another planet where my main fleet was at... and maybe I just didn't notice them. Do they use the planets rally point? Maybe they just got shuffled into the rest of my fleet. still doesnt explain the asteroid missing dark armada fleet though.

Reply to [Fixed]Sins is quite the memory hog, whoa. in Technical Sins Forums

Oh okay, I figured that's all it was, I'm not worried about it. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't my system and if it was just because of the beta. Either way I need more ram, heh.

[Fixed]Sins is quite the memory hog, whoa. in Technical Sins Forums

Game just crashed after 3-4 hour game between Vasari (me) and Advent computer player (hard). Everything was going great, no problems loading or saving over the course of the game. It was a small map, I think 18 planets. I didn't spam mines, I didn't use any at all actually. Game randomly crashed with a runtime error or something like that. I ctr alt deleted to see how much memory the game was using and it was over 2 gbs (my system is a q6600 2.7, gtx 260 black edition, with 2 gbs of ram). I a

Vasari Dark Armada tech useless? Help please. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I researched both Dark Armada, and decided to check it out for the first time since I was a noob vasari player, and normally stuck with advent. Well, I clicked on my phase stabilizer node and launched the Dark armada, and nothing happened. There was a cooldown and everything... but nothing happened, no fleet or anything. Am I missing something? I had alot of excess fleet supply, and even tried using different nodes to see if it would work there. Nothing happened. Wasted shitloads of resources

Reply to kosatru cannon in Strategy Sins Forums

I think you're missing out on a crucial part of what a kostura cannon can ALSO do which is... open up a temporary phase stabilizer node to the planet you just fired on. Good strategy: Scout the planet you want to attack. Fire cannon, disable either factorys or starbases, launch your fleet from a phase stabilized node to the NOW stabilized phase node enemy world. result? fucking ownage. gawd I love vasari. lol. It's great for when you know the position of the enemy fleet... and you can

Will there be a beta for Entrenchment? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Just wondering, if it's happening or not. I preordered my copy a couple of days ago, and I'm itching to try out some strategies and see how the new defensive systems work. I'd like to thank Ironclad and Stardock for making a great game, you guys are the saviors of gaming in general, heh. :P

Reply to Update next week in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thank you, thank you, thank you.... whew. Much appreciated Stardock. I hope you know we Gal Civ fans truly appreciate the love. I've always been a loyal fan and always will be in hopes that Stardock won't forget it's roots. Gal Civ is easily one of my fave games of all times. Thanks again guys. :)

Reply to steep increase in the cost of technologies in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah... I've definitely noticed it myself. I barely won my metaverse game because of it. I was going for a military victory, but then the tech costs started racking up and planetary invasion was 70 turns long to research. F*ck that. I had to win with an alliance victory instead... barely won. I hope whatever this is gets fixed/changed soon. I love TA and the improvements it has brought to Gal Civ, I hope something gets done soon. As far as I'm concerned... the game is perfect (to me), just needs

Haven't recieved my hard copy of Sins. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I ordered the collectors edition digital download with included disc and retail box but haven't recieved it yet. It's been about 2 weeks and I was wondering if maybe I'm just wrong about the shipping times. How long does it to take for the discs to ship normally? Just wondering...

Looking to join a clan. in Sins Clans Sins Forums

I'm moderately experienced in Sins and am an excellent tactician and strategist. I would like to join a respectful, mature, yet also easy-going (with an appropiate ranking system) clan to wage intergalactic war with. My preferred race is either TEC or Advent, though I admit I have not yet played Vasari enough to truly be able to form an opinion of them. I love and enjoy this game as well as it's community, and now It's time for me to join a clan. :) Let me know and then we will discuss spec

Can't host a game. Tried various tweaks to no avail. :( in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I love this game, I'm just having trouble hosting. I tried doing what it said in the FAQ section but I still can't seem to get a game going. I can join just fine, no hosting. I will admit, I didn't fully understand what it said to do in the FAQ section. I tweaked the user settings and turned off my windows firewall just in case that might've been it. Help would be much appreciated!

Where do I download the PDF files for the manual and such? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I bought the game through the download service and have been playing it quite alot. I love the game it's incredible... just wondering where I can get those PDF files that came with the order. I can't seem to find it, anyone know?

Skies of Arcadia Mod!!! in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Would that be in any way possible? I mean if you could change the planets to look like islands and the skybox to be a "sky" it's possible to design a mod based on Skies of Arcadia right? I just thought it would be awesome having Valuans versus Rogues and what not... wait.. do any of you even know what Skies of Arcadia is? :P Man... it'd be incredible if someone could design that... I wish I knew how. I'd pay to see someone design it!

Well even though I've only been playing a few days and this is my first post I still have this wish list. 1) Patrol - I'd like to set my ships to auto-kill any enemy ship that enters a particular sector, but prevent them from leaving the sector or area around a planet to go kill something on the other side of the galaxy. It would really be nice to leave a little fleet to guard my home planet and the star bases surrounding it without have to worry about them wa

Reply to Tell us what you'd like in Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar 1.6! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

- Better performance for lower-end systems please... the frame rate gets atrocious in Dark Avatar as soon as ships begin to become constructed. - An option to turn off astroids. - More diplomacy options. - Technology tree quering. Like for example clicking on "Laser V" when I only have "Laser I" so that I can automatically research all the techs up to "Laser V". - More in-depth play for culture and social players. Military players obviously have combat... how
