cool, I think a manual or guide or whatever would really be usefully to newcomers. and I like them as well, even though I know my way around by now.

Reply to your mesh files differ error in online mp in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

yeah, I think I posted that I forgot to delete the files. uninstalled it, but didn't delete them. what makes me sceptical though is the fact that joining games is ok and I just finished a game with 3 other ppl and there was no problem at all. the only explanation would be that they, likewise, forgot to delete files and have the same state as I have. pretty weird situation ( but a nice game). I shall remember it in the future. just so eager to finally get my hands on the newbor

your mesh files differ error in online mp in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

well, seems I f'ed up something in the installation and now in entrenchment it tells me my mesh files differ and I can't join games. to be clear, I uninstalled sins when the final version came out and reinstall it. I didn't delete the rest files though. on the other hand I had already deleted absolutely everything in the beta 3 install, so I should have been fine. in any case, anything short of another uninstall/ reinstall complete with file removing that I can do? I'm not too keen on

well, since this thread is as official as it will get: thank you IC for making a great addition and thank you SD for helping them along! and now take a few days off, enjoy your lives again, families etc. that's an order! btw. does anyone else think that sd moving into the pitchfork business would not make such bad sense? announce a delay here and there and you will even cash in on ppl freakin out.

[Fixed]entrenchment 1.0 typo: advanced phase destabelisation in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I did find one mistake when casually browsing the new research subjects (which are nothing short of godsent btw). the tec argonev ability's research info for the advanced phase space destabelisation talks of the okulus starbase, not the argonev. repeat, in the TEC research subject, the vasari starbase name is referred to. otherwise excellent job.

is it just me or is the final version of entrenchment distinctly smaller than the beta? the betas ranged well of 200 mb whereas this final is listed as just over 100 mb. not that it matters, it's positive, but I'm just wondering. optimisation I guess.

[quote who="Hound" reply="4" id="2074732"]I'm still worried how that's gonna work in MP because no one is going to stick around to play with a fully upgraded Starbase. They're just going to take the AM loss and hull damage and go wipe out your inner worlds uncontested because the player with the kickass starbase has no fleet. And frankly, the AI should be coded so that they don't stick around to fight a powerful SB either unless they have enough ships to blow it up.[/quo

I agree with much that has been said, in particular normal's post was quite a fine one. how about every pirate ship gets a severly dumbed down version of the embargo ability? sth like 1-2% income stolen? that would make it scale with the size of pirate fleets, make sense to them (and would strengthen their future attacks) and hurt you even more if it's a rich resource generating planet. and yes, stronger pirate fleets later on in the game. yes to pirates with torpedo f

Reply to New to the game..What are victory conditions? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

actually, what happens if in a map with multiple factions, one surrenders? I mean I only had it with the last remaining surrendering and then I won the game. but at least in mp there is a surrender option. for example in a ffa? I'm not sure I ever had the case, so ... if in mp I guess the ai takes over, but even some ai's have a threshold where they surrender, so what happens then, if they are not the last one on the map? they become inactive and you are free to overrun what's left of them?</

Reply to [NOT A BUG - I'm just dozy] Enemy "neutral area" extractors acting as if they're still allied. (BETA 3.0) in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

you do mean those extractors in the wells that cannot be colonised, right? ok, again. you can NEVER attack or destroy the neutral extractors, ever. doesn't matter if you are allied or enemies, they cannot under ANY circumstances be destroyed. only captured. if you want, try it with enemy 'neutral' extractors (I know that sounds stupid), it won't work either. the whole point of them is to provide something different in neutral wells to battle over and something that cannot be destroyed

Reply to [NOT A BUG - I'm just dozy] Enemy "neutral area" extractors acting as if they're still allied. (BETA 3.0) in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

neutral extractors are invulnerable and by design. you can however capture them, via the colony ship for tec and advent and via the scout for vasari. they are a great source for resource income, so always be sure to grab as many as you can. edit: if you hover over their infocard, it will give you that info as well. as most things in the game.

Reply to Specifics of the second micro expansion in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

as much as I'd like to get some info myself, I wouldn't count on it too soon. first, they will release entrenchment, then see if any adjustments are necessary, then try to port as many changes to vanilla sins that were affecting the non-exp stuff. and only then after it all settled down a bit, would they care to announce it. we could set up a bet pot. I'd say just short of a month after entrenchment release that we'll have some sort of announcement or info on the 2nd pack. from above
