i havnt seen this yet, but i quit my game out of frustration. Coulnt get anything past a TEC chokepoint. Ill try again here soon though. I really dont see the advantage of a Temp Phase lane anyhow. Unless your cut off from your main forces or managed to get a starbase behind enemy lines to strike at them from a unproteced flank. Its a good concept but..i have yet to find a good strategy to use it. Id prefer them dropping this and tossing in a frig/cruiser factory.
1: Tec seem to be decent. The starbase animation seems to loop after combat or trade ships dock. Nothing critical if you play this side. However those long range cruisers seem to be very overpowered. while the range is great for taking out starbases and turrets your opponents do not seem to have such a cruiser. 2: Vasari. After several hours of building forces attacking and such i ran into tec. Um...is there a version of the long range tec cruiser planned for vasari? If not you
Hmm i might try it but im running xp 64 pro, that has given me problems in the past with some stardock desktop software. Is this designed to work with xp 64? or just vista/win 7/ and xp 32?
i just joined the beta yesterday. I have noticed that the TEC starbase (when i built the first one) rotated at a nice slow n smooth pace. After combat however, it seemed to bounce back n fourth, after the fight was over. Almost like the animation was stuck in a mini loop or reseting somehow. It did not effect the station's guns though..except maybe some of the firing arcs..but those almost see to be beyond 180 degrees [e digicons]^_^[/e] so no complaints really. Starba
lol ok im convinced, friday (payday) ill do my Pre order so i can join in the fun. :)
2nd micro expansion? And here i was worried a bit about the future of Sins due to economics...yea kinda dumb i know ..sorry.(what..all kinds of titles and such have been discontinued by other publishers due to all this...money issue ..stuff.) Ill have to wait a bit longer to get into the beta but the more i read from you testers and moderators the more i want to join in . [e digicons]|-)[/e]
please tell me this isnt turning into the spore forums. [e digicons] There is no reason on this entire planet to get this upset over a game. People, its not real, shut the pc off and get some fresh air. This is for entertainment. If your that serious about your ladder position or etc, really you need to get away. So blacklist away folks, maybe you will grow up someday. Oh..and WOOT WOOT...and I say NI to you.
its not just the Epic mod, its any mod. I think i may have run across a bit of the problem. I had the AA set to full, while it was disabled in my Nvidia control panel. Im not sure thats the cause though. It just seems random at times, then others the game wont run more than 10 min before i get the typical crash dump. ah oh well, i play it until i get fed up, go to something else then come right back. The game is still cool.
sins is 1.12. Most mods say 1.1 im hoping they mean the latest just leaving off the extra digit. I tried the Epic mod, which i love but the thing just CTD too much. I thought it was due to the pirate raids modification (had a lot of trouble with that back before the first patch..if i remember right) But now its even using ballknights graphics mod and thats it. I'll keep testing it see if i can reproduce it at a particular point. I do run XP 64 at the moment, could that be the cause? I
just checking here, anyone else running mods and just ctd with the crashdump file a lot lately? I cant run one single mod from here anymore without 10 min into the game i crash. It doesnt matter what i run, even if its a simple mod of my own, CTD every darn time. Ive tried it with a variety of custom maps, could that be the issue? each one is new, generated within the game so..im at a loss as to why it crashes so much. IM at my wits end with this. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]
Heh, HW1 back when the game manual made ya feel special. (seriously it was huge). I loved all of the hw series, i break it out now and then to play but..ehh its just not the same anymore. Maybe its that ive played them so much there is nothing new. Now a HW3..that would be very cool, but id pray to whatver god's exist they dont turn it into a console fubar'd version. Homeworld for sins would be cool, mobile factorys/motherships to keep your fleets strong would be very cool. Real forma
yea its a bit of a letdown to think your getting a new expansion, only to find out its still in beta. Kinda like when you see the release date, and it comes..only to find out its pushed back again, and again. Frustrating but the crew here wants to make sure its ready to go, not full of bugs and glitches. Thats what i like about stardock, that and so far they have top notch customer service. I myself will not get involved in the beta, not because i dont like the idea, i
thought id pop in and say i like the mod. Its has a lot of potential. With that said however, i still get a LOT of crashdumps, which makes the game unplayable. Its either the pirates or something about the volumetric explosion mod, but im not 100% on that so dont get all upset and all the other forum stuff that happens here. Ill run a few tests, without pirates and see if this helps any. As for the strategy part, ive had some trouble in defending my home at first. But so far, i
Ill give it a shot, thanks for the info.
Serondal: ahh ok i think i understand now. I did play pax for a long time, (esp when someone came out with that super race cheat..hahah). My personal fave is moo2, (ooh yes planet kilers..mmmm) but i cant stand the graphics anymore hahah. BAH! i can hear the soundtrack allready..NOOOO! just on a side note, i think if they combined the complexity of Master of Orion 2 (i didnt like 3 as much but it was still fun)with the nexus graphic engine and physics (i love those thruster effects ins
i own pax imperia and i do not believe in any way shape or form that PI is better than Soase. Comparing the two is not even close to fair. PI was based on animated gif's and sprite technology. NO 3D rendering, no light sources, no bump mapping. Soase beats most of the 4x games with its 3D engine and textures hands down..so how did you come up with this judgment about PI again? when you attacked planets in PI you had ONE perspective, no camera control. Same way with ship to ship
[quote]Unreasonable it may be, but some people will sue you over making such remarks, stupid as it is.[/quote] Gabal: Seeing things from different points of view should never be viewed as lawsuit material. where are you from? WTH is it with people being so greedy. I object strongly to the concept that people think they can even suggest a lawsuit over someones opinion that doesnt agree with everyone else.. ..wait for it... Ok now flame on or laugh/whatever you
an isp hardblocked ports? thats a little harsh, lol have ya tried to use port foreward say using port 80 on your machine? well i guess you would need to use a router in between you and the modem..heh. that really sounds serious for an isp to make such a move. Grounds for multiple lawsuits, i mean what if you owned an ipod or purchased music online..do they block transfers as well? see something just doesnt make sense. but to truly answer, theres no way to bypass an isp's fire
Hey pirate, ball already stated up in all his OP at the very top all you have to do is remove the GameInfo directory from the mod folder. there is no reason for someone to re release the mod to just get the graphics updates. and now to be helpful, you can copy the mesh and particle folder over into another mod directory but you loose some of the effects. ballknight: this is amazing work, thank you for releasing the mod. i can see where my weekend is going to be spent heheh.
Good lord I haven't seen this much chaos over a mod before. Stop with the votes, what you think this forum is, a place to force people to do your bidding?? I dont see any rule about people voting for mod options, can the vote chatter and save it for the dev's questions about the next patch. Let ballknight make his mod to what he likes, If we like it we will use it and say Thank you. If you don't like the idea of a few code alterations or ship changes, then go make your own particle mod
1) clean your mouse 2) check your mouse setings 5..no 3!) make sure your machine meets min requirements, 4) what did you expect for responses? a positive feedback session? How bout you fix you attitude and be polite, then maybe the rest of the users would offer help in the future.
hey pale, since when did you become the text police? *eye poke* got any suggestions for the OP or not?? And just to be irritating, [link="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=notta"]WWW Link[/link] so :p
i dont have any issues with this forum. I mean zero, notta. With server errors and loss of posts it sounds like either you have too much data going in/out of your machine (...from something) or you have a nasty spyware beast running amuck. This is a suggestion only, not being a jerk, take some time to run a anti-spyware program, also consider running CClenaer that helps clean up a lot of junk our surfing habbits pick up. www.filehippo.com has a lot of freeware and shareware stuff. <br/
Just my perspective, i have not seen a copy here in Arkansas. (yes yes i have running water, electricity and all such modern things :P ) Im glad SD/IC offered a download verson, I got the game just a few hours after it was released. Many people, including me, refuse to shop at certain retail outlets over here so handing my income directly to the publisher suits me just fine. It feels like the guys who made the game get more of the money they deserve rather than it being pushed through
