Just bulid some scout ships, and send them to various planets owned by the enemy, all if possible. This is always fun to annoy the player by having multiple structures (even if the buildings regenerate it) under attack. The player will often send a large section of his force to deal with them, or start building defenses. If the player sends some of ships, this will obviously make him weaker. If he builds defenses, a large chunk of his income is wasted. This becomes a small thor

No, sins only checks for filename, not what's actually inside the files (in certain cases it does actually) So edit away at the music.

Yea, and look at the size of the manual! Honestly, I think they spent more time making it than making sins. It's like a dictionary.

Well, that's around 800,000 polygons (with the average ship count at 2k, which is alittle above normal) rendering a ton of decent res textures. That's alot of rendering, so be nice!

Reply to Planet Colors? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Yes, but I don't think you can do so ingame. Planets have multiple textures it can choose from; and you can easily use photoshop to change one of the textures colors.

For the average 3d artist, I recommend Blender. While maya does have a PLE (personnel learning edition) that is free, it has many of it's main features removed, and a very annoying watermark. Take a slightly transparent picture and put it on your monitor; now try to work with it on there. That's what it's like using PLE. There's also 3dmax, which most gamers use for modeling. I've tried it, but couldn't get used to it. Maya all the way man! So; if pirating/buying an ex

Spectator giving money to pirates ; Intended? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm letting the AI duke it out offline, so I hit 'surrender' and than chose 'keep playing' so I could spectate it. I wondered if I could give money to the pirates; and I tried. Perhaps the game stops you, or perhaps it was game lag but I couldn't give money to the pirates. I than hit shift and tried again; this time it worked. I could give money to pirates even though I couldn't build anything. So, is this intended or an exploit?
