1) pirates' own capital ships can get technology that they stole, bought or otherwise from another race. Their cap ships might have to have capped abilities, so less multiple abilities than other races' ships. 2) pirates stealing a non-protected cap ship is cool. It SHOULD be difficult to do and only possible if the race is dumb enough to leave one unguarded; BUT, the cap ship should not be fully functional, which can be remedied by offering something t

Gameplay Question in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

1) when attacking a planet, with the drop down ship list on the left, I like to direct my fighters/bombers to a specific target, but the ship list keeps refreshing itself and I can't scroll down fast enough to see the enemy ship or structure. how do I work around this?

Taking Over Allied Planets in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

My ally's planet was taken by the enemy. My ally had several structures in this GW. I went in and killed the enemy and cleansed the planet. I went ahead and took the planet. But his (my ally's) structures remained. Due to these structures, I was unable to build due to unavailable slots. I could not scuttle the previous occupent's structures nor destroy them because they were "friendly" structures. What was I doing wrong??

Problems Running in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Well, let me explain my system. It is nearly powerful enough to run Oblivion at max settings and yet from some time ago, includng SINS, I noticed that my water -cooled system will occassionally crash. Currently, I can play perhaps 30 turns with twilight, but then I will reach a turn in which nothing happens. I know a solution to this, but it is a pain in the ass. The solution is to immediately save the game, quit and then re-load. What am I doing wrong??

Reply to Nuking planets is evil in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

easy solution: just pretend that the "6000" represents the politicians, then you'd be doing that planet a favor by getting rid of them. 2nd solution, just wait for those 6000 politicians to bribe you with 1 trillion $$'s for no dam good reason. oops, too close to home.

Advent: Honestly, Why I Choose Them . . . in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I have to admit, I play Advent not so much because of their technology . . . . but because I find the female voices hot. While I know that some of these voices came from in-house with some ovbious electronic alterations, how could anyone look some of these female co-workers in the face without blushing?? I am not ashamed to admit it: advent female voices = seeeexxxxxyyyy.

I more or less agree with Agent, and I rather like the idea that you can salvage mines with at least a small chance that some can go off . . . presumably something this sweeper would be designed to absorb.

Reply to Sins of a solar empire HUGE fleet battle!!! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

^^ I could not clearly tell from the vid, but were you giving any sort of orders in terms of what to attack? Or did you just let the AI fight for you? Also, sometimes retreat is a viable option esp. when the fleet that caused the retreat seperates itself and leaves a smaller one to "occupy" the grav well esp. if there are other threats to its system from, say and hopefully, an ally. If even a portion of their fleet leaves you can usually pop back in and destroy their s

Reply to Sins of a solar empire HUGE fleet battle!!! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I think if the numbers are against you, your best bet MIGHT be to destroy the support ships of the enemy. I don't know the TEC and vasari support ships by heart, but while they seem like a low priority target they may prove to be quite valuable to the enemy and capable of turning the tide in your favor should they be destroyed. The next target is a little more difficult. why? And carriers tend to have VERY high shields and even with concentrated bombers attacking them

I disagree that biggest fleet wins. I only play avdent, but Iconus gaudians mixed with disciples and at least one of every cap ship can outlast a much bigger fleet. Throw some drone hosts and Deadras . . . . late game with your caps leveling up automatically?!!!

blasting and criticizing are all relative terms. I have made my constructive criticisms elsewhere in this forum. I can be whiny or whitty with impunity. It is ridiculous to ridicule anyone for voicing their concerns in whatever way they deem necessary*. Right now as it is, mines suck ASS. There's whiny and whitty for you all in one. Solution: take them out! There's constructive criticism. * I am the paying consumer and the inten

Reply to How About This: Mines Kill ALL!!! in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Another thing about mines I was thinking about lastnight, the Z-axis. Can I go over or under them? Doesn't seem like you can in 2-D, but this is a 3-D game, though I seldom play that way.
