ok here are some of the management screens to show you what kind of depth the game gives. Their are people talking in briefings and during missions. But thier is something a little stale about it as it does not really seem to flow, mods have got this stage right though. The Battlestar mod especially surprised me with its ability to make me feel like I was there. There are cutscenes occasionally. The game also allows you to fly down to planets to assault the surface!

@ Sushisemegato I just think its strange to go off on such a tangent when he has stated thats the kind of game he is trying to avoid. Hes played these games and wants to move onto something that has a real starship feel and simulation. Does FL provide anything for cap ships at all that is diff

Unlocking NOVA bombs as a tech may instead be entered into the game as "relics" on planets. And then only in limited supply once they are found. Perhaps 5 out of 40 planets on a map could contain a cache. A message to your enemies saying that you have found nova bombs would also spice things up ;)

What about the clans - house kodiak etc. These were also a threat. I also remember in one episode a giant graveyard where highguard ships were re-activated, trapped/captured by the enemy during the war and attempted to be turned. Their was a few types here. Also their was some huge siege/dreadnaught that was raiding sectors, a left over ship that had gone a little crazy. They also had fighters. <a href="http://www.saveandromeda.com/allsystems/ships/shipsindex.h

What I really want is a game similar to Klingon Academy thats more like starshatter with a nice large Star Destroyer bridge to stroll around. This would give the feeling of a large ship in combat. Starshatter can do this as it can give cap ships cockpits if you wish. But have not seen them yet. Only used the basic capital ship hud. Be aware also that the starshatter demo is very old iirc. The updated Gathering Storm has much improved graphics. A pic of Starshatter: the gatheri

Crusader Scott: I too was looking for what you are looking for. I can recommend Klingon Academy if you can get it. I managed to get a full version sent to me by a mate on a forum like this. Here are some newer games that do "space combat simulation" Starshatter: the gathering storm This game is amazing and lets you command squadrons of capital ships or fly fighters all in a dynamic campaign or even coop missions if you wish. I highly recommend it.

Reply to did you love homeworld/homeworld 2?? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

I have homeworld2 and 1 working on my 8800gt under vista. there are a few things you have to do to get it working: a) disable UAC b) disable DEP (data execution prevention) manually with command line c) make sure you have the latest video drivers d) Run as administrator IIRC thats all I had to do. Been running it since vista came out like this. In fact I played it today with a friend. We used the TFS mod. But I really like the AFF mod.... <

Reply to moving in 3d space help in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Their was a key that enabled human players to move in the Z axis. It was taken out in a recent patch. However I am hoping it will make its re-appearance with the new micro expansion. In fact if I check the latest Beta it is probably already back in.

Reply to [Bug] AI Faction shown as "Defeated" long before they are defeated. in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

that would be cool, capturing the AI gear. However I think you need to actually send ships to the planet you want to capture and dock or something. That way other players who hear the AI has been defeated can race to take a cut, after all somebody may already be attacking from another angle when everything goes your colour. Things like occupation take time. As for the AI surrendering early, often this is good as it saves a shizza load of time when they have no

Reply to [MOD RELEASE] Star Trek: Sacrifice of Angels 2 0.03b Released (updated 01/10/09) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

stress were there any fighters at all used by any races in star trek. I mean real carrier based fighters like the ones in the sins defence hangars? Just thinking that hangar defences may need to be something else more like, frigate defences? I will leave the balance up to you, but I am hoping to see the relative power from cannon ships stay roughly like it should be. Great stuff <img src="http://www.cramthelan.com/files/12/Sins%20of%20a%20Solar%20Empire%202008-09-02%20
