[quote] * a word is a word if the meaning is easily understood or communicated.

But that thinking is tantamount to an appeal to traditional wisdom or authority argument and both are unreasonable. [/quote] duck

oh, i said i would join once i get time, which should be in about two weeks. I need to wrap up a compsci project by then and it's also midterms week, so i'll be really busy till then, but once i have time, i'll join the group. The tau baneblade won't be that scary, mostly cosemetic and and a swap for the lascannons and heavy bolters(maybe rig up a fancier looking burst cannon I can say has AP4). EDIT: got time, contacted you on modcraft.

just make torps work like the kol's gauss rail gun. a fairly good bit of damage that takes antimatter (ammo stockpiles etc.) and have an increasing chance to miss at longer ranges. maybe make them more complex as time allows, but that'll get them working enough to balance. Also, I think we should shoot more for the feel of the tt game than the actual rules. for example, maybe increase the effect of lances on eldar, but decrease the effect of weapons batteries so that lance boats aren't

I'll help with the research, once I've memorized the Apocalypse rules (i've been at it a day now, should be done before the week's over). I haven't given much thought to the special orders, but I've got a few ideas on the top of my head. Come to new heading- if the ship needs to turn more tightly to stay in range of any possible targets, double turn speed and halve firepower. so if we get fire arcs working (should be simple), just have it come to new heading if it has targets but they a

Reply to Why don't the ships move (continuously) during combat? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

if the devs do implement formations like they said they would, you also have to factor in how much the movement would cause the formation to break up. Just a thought, but you might be able to draw off flak frigates or something any real commander would be sent to military prison for.

Reply to Ships at the star in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote] The unit you "see" on the map isn't actually the fighters, its an abstract called "squadron", which contains the data of the entire strike group, and its position is determined by averaging the units of the strike group... hence the icon flies through a star. [/quote] The question that begs is why the squadrons are splitting to go round the star. I'm pretty sure they fly in tight formation, so that might not be the answer, even though it was the firs

Sounds exactly like my laptop, and my laptop works fine on all maps with low settings and small games with medium settings. I think it'll work fine, and you can just turn down the special effects if they cause any problems. My laptop actually has worse other stuff, just a 1.5 ghz core 2 duo processor (not sure what the code is) and only one gig of ram.

Oh, don't get me started on comcast either. I have them in our other house, and we tried upgrading from phone to DSL, but it didn't work so they gave up without telling us, leaving us without phone for two bloody days wondering whether they were actually accomplishing something and trying to find a phone we could borrow to tell them to never mind. And in the end I think they tried to bill us for it, too.
