Reply to Sins Units = Warcraft 3 Units in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]I have to totally agree with Rickder19 here. Not only do units but everything else stinks of WC3. I mean just look at the mouse controls - you click to select units and you click and drag to select multiple ones - where does Sins get off so blatantly ripping off Warcraft?! And don't even get me started on keyboard shortrcuts - F10 to call up the main menu - that's exactly the same as in every warcraft game! I understand copying a feature or two, I mean if something's done right then it'd

[quote]Larowyn[/quote] Digital download, $$ straight to SD/IC's pocket (I do not know how the costs are split up).

The only reasoning behind this that I can think of is it offset the microing required by the other 2 sides with their colony ships. Be it that this defeats the advantage the vasari have or it makes it more fair is dependent on your view point or if you like playing as vasari or not. -Edit- Anohter reason could be if you want your scouts to explore more then taking the mines which would apply if the enemy has a colony frigate left in the gravity well taking back the roid as soo

The final modding tools are not released yet and this is limiting the modding community, when they are released expect a explosion in the number of mods.

Reply to Searching planets, not effective? in Strategy Sins Forums

12% damage bonus is my favorite. The 50% travel time between star reduction artifact is the worst just because i most often find it on single star maps. If find that medium random map averages 3, maybe 4 artifacts. In MP matches i will only explore key planets in the hopes of useful bonus (the extra tactical/logistic slots are very nice).

Reply to deleted in Strategy Sins Forums

Time is not that that big of a issue as you can build multiple frigate factories. Your scenario based on resource cost IMHO would prove more valuable, and guestimates are not very useful when you go beyond a few ships.

Reply to What AI setting is a "fair game?" in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Maybe in the expansion we'll see a vastly improved AI. With the rather huge percentage of players (IMHO) that go for SP over MP (even then often as co-op), i expect it would be worth the effort for IC to take on such a task.

Reply to Not sure where to put this in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

This is how it currently works. Once a bounty is placed on a player (whoever has the highest bounty when the timer expires and the red bar in the pirate menu stops flashing) a pirate fleet will be sent until there are no more structures left in the gravity well and return to the pirate base with whatever ships are left and add to the "pirate defense fleet" at the pirate base. They will also stop bombing your planet if all structures are gone but the planet is still owned by someone, th

Reply to How about a TIMER option? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

we don't f'n need this. First how do you propose to decide what is worth more? That LRM fleet or a bunch of research stations for a HC rush? You along with just about everyone else will get their panties in a bunch because no one will agree what is worth more. There is no hope of balancing the end score to have a victor and any attempt by the devs would detract from actual improvements to the game.

-People complain that the game is a shallow version of a 4X not deserving the title and that there is little to do and gets boring. -Count all the tecs and come back and tell me it's small. Perhaps the research is too quick but there is more then a few of them. -The AI is not overly good, play MP and you will see just how fast you mass of ships evaporates without any tactics behind the choice of units and tech. -If you expected to always have a good view of your fleet in combat aft

The digital download is $45 USD. Sins has NO DRM/CD protection so you do not need the CD. Once you register the serial number with Stardock Central (update/download manager)you can do these things: -Download the full and up to date game with no limit that i am aware of. -Download patches. -Download the soundtrack/.pdf artwork (can someone state where that option is, i forget) -Download the full game and backup to a CD. The manual is located in the same folder

It doesn't matter if the average price is higher, it's still not worth that much to to them.

Reply to When will the price drop? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Right now most stores are having problems keeping Sins stocked on the shelves (i've seen "2" hard copies of sins since release), most stores will not see a need to lower the prices yet. Once you see Sins consistently stocked start watching for any drop in price. I have not look at any sort of price trend in games so i do not know when the prices will actually begin to drop.

IIRC, with the synchronization of all the players in a MP match, if someone is using a under powered PC then everyone else runs at the same speed as him making it seem like internet lag.

Those of IronClad, who did what in the making of Sins? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I have been wondering, of the employees of IC who did what in the creation of Sins of a Solar Empire? I don't mean to leave out everyone else on the credits list, but it seems apparent what most of those people did by the title of the section they are under, and Frogboy himself stated that SD had little to do with the actual creation of Sins beyond giving pointers and writing a few lines of code. But feel free to list anyone of relevance that had a hand in the actual making of sins, oh an
