Reply to Rebellion - Supply Lines - can we have ammunition and fuel ships or a clear LOS for ammo ship resupply & structures in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I don't think it has to be complex at all. It worked well in conquest frontier wars, which had a very similar multi-system layout. People still love that game. What it would mean is that a deep raid might see you tell your fleet not to fire as it passes through systems. At the moment fleets have an "american in vietnam" style attitude... fire as much as you want. More ammo is coming. Especially when we can make beam\power recharge based weapons less powerfull but mo

Rebellion - Alien Races - Will we get to have foreign races drop in to trade and deal with buy mercs or alien ships\tech in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Will it be possible to trade with races passing through the map. Interstellar traffic basically - perhaps with some advanced wares or pacts. this could be something for a new trade ship or the diplomatic ship to do.

Rebellion - Supply Lines - can we have ammunition and fuel ships or a clear LOS for ammo ship resupply & structures in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The fleets in sins obviously have a good supply of ammunition. However this should not be unlimited. Supply should play a part making the game that much more interesting. a) special supply structures should be able to rearm\ammo\supply\refit ships. This may include giving ammunition\fuel and even change of weapon loadouts. b ) special supply ships should be built to supply fleets with all this in battle. If they run out of ammo the fleet may be for

Rebellion - Will we be getting fleet formations this time around - support ships rear pls in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I would be good to have a number of combat formations. a) support ships to the rear b ) support ships protecting capital ships only c) Heavy combat ships to the rear (meat shields) d) All round defense - for passing through systems and getting shot in the rear e) cruiser detachements - that can raid while the main fleet concentrates. etc f) Convoy mode - escort the trade ships g) Raid and regroup mode - allows smal

I actually have faith in the ironclad team. I was a bit disappointed before with the micro expansions just because they added so little. I lapped them all up wanting more. I think its great we are now getting a fully fledged expansion. As soon as this $30 business is sorted out with my account I will pre-order.

yeah, I cannot think of many games with the same heart and production quality anymore. It seems games are like movies. If you want one with heart you go look for indy or small companies. Thats why I like ironclad and battlefront. Its also why I like the PC. PC lets anyone just start. No strings attached.

Reply to Last IPv4 Addresses Sold: What Now? in Personal Computing Sins Forums

having that many IP addresses does have interesting security implications. Especially when the invader does not know to use an ipv6 anonymous.... otherwise your MAC is wide open for everyone to see!! Let me illustrate; you scan a network... somewhere in that massive IP range is a server. Its gonna take months to get anywhere. In the mean time they see you scanning and read the MAC in your IPv6 default IP address. This ties your hardware to the IP specifically. S

yeah but the expansion may let you raid planets and take populations back. That seems very vasari to me.

Reply to Does anybody remember the original Xwing and Tie Fighter games in PC Gaming Sins Forums

the question is... what game is their that does this these days... I mean klingon academy comes close.. but its not playable anymore. Mechwarrior was another one of those games that came close. In general I find games very simplistic these days. You just cannot get into them like you could a game like xwing\tie fighter. There is no feeling from the developers. Sins of a Solar Empire could learn from this. Sins is a great game. It incorporates some features like the music

[quote=Sigma One] TIE Fighter. Being young and into Star Wars was probably the best catalyst for this. I remember getting it and my buddy would come over and we'd double-team it, one would pilot and one would manage targeting, radar, etc. It actually had a bunch of extras if you searched for them, a great storyline, and some awesome graphics for its time.

that is cossacks2 allowed players to split forces up. Napoleon total war has a very complex coop campaign. But its complex to explain and I don't think too relavent here.

I have used mac fairly extensively in a troubleshooting capacity and have to say that when things do go wrong with the OS it gets fairly ugly. A PC has so many more recovery options that are quick simple and specific. in fact I know in a lot of instances that involve email MAC is the unknowing virus carrier because they have no virus scanner!!!!

Reply to Does anybody else find themselves thinking "well what do I do now" in battles? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I have primarily played coop or VS AI so I am sure the game is more challenging vs humans. My point though is that battles can often get repetitive and boring by the end of a match. I guess I would not mind as much if the ships were more homeworld esque with turrets and Z axis etc. I have always wanted to see more than ships just lining up against each other. For instance ordering your ships to chase and box in an enemy vessel would be cool. Even ordering a protective box around

I think adding land based combat to sins would be a great thing. It would really bridge the gap and hopefully give some character to the game.
