I wish you could see some of the starts *I* have to deal with. Krath's start in this game is just *beautiful* compared to the starts I often get. I pray for a start like Krath's in this game!

[quote]I noticed how colonize is always on avoid/never autocast, any reason why ?[/quote] Because if you go into a planet with more than 1 enemy siege frigate, your capital ship will colonize, and then the siege frigs will kill the planet before you can kill the siege frigs. So you just wasted antimatter on colonization, you just wasted money on underdevelopment costs, yadda yaddda. You can usually leave it on autocast if you are colonizing a roid, because your cap will

[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="79" id="2456982"] Agent of Kharma--go for it. There's no reason why ICO cannot be user-regulated. Form a club. Everyone in the club would be required to have a separate user name (one of their five allotted) for the club. Club accounts could only allow members of the club onto the Friends list and members would have all of the other members on their Friends list and in that way could host freinds only games. The

Needless to say, the game lasted fifteen minutes, and by all means was disastrous after nearly an hour of waiting.[/quote] Funny t

Reply to Reproducible crash (Entrenchment) in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

More... It happens non-load up too. In fact, it just plain happens every time you hit that hotkey to build a particular capship and don't have a planet selected, which is easier to do than you think. At any rate, it shouldn't crash the game. Rather it should simply do nothing. Can anyone confirm?

Reproducible crash (Entrenchment) in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I would have put this in the technical category, but upon inspection it seems that category is concerned with helping people fix problems and issues that they have. I don't need help, so I'm putting this post here. At any rate, during load up screen, select scouts using your hotkey, then put them to autoscout. Then (again, during load up) build your capship using whatever hotkey you have assigned. The game promptly minidumps on loadup. At least it does for me,

I've played multiplayer with this game since the very first day it launched. Yet it still never ceases to amaze me just how many dicks and assholes multiplayer with this game attracts. Today I was on ICO. It often takes hours to get into a game. I had been patiently waiting a long time, just as many others had. Finally, a 10 player game filled up, hosted by Pawelo. Teams were being picked, when all of a sudden 2 Brothers In Arms guys who hadn't waited at

I'm an MP kind of guy, but I agree, multiplayer is totally dead in this game. I don't think the devs should give any consideration at all to MP - it wouldn't make good business sense, and it would be wrong to cater to less than 1% of the player base. I mean, get online sometime. 50 people?&

[quote]The people that griped about carriers in their heyday were unwilling to counter them with LF. [/quote] Totally incorrect. Many people, including myself, tried and tried and tried and tried and tried to counter them with LF. The first problem was, even just a little LRF included in the mix would totally devastate any attempt at an LF counter. Secondly, it just plain didn't work regardless. Carriers could kite, LF dps against carriers was extremely sucky,

Reply to Flak vs. lrm in Strategy Sins Forums

So you'd counter balance with balance? Then just win with better skill or something? I'd rather win with unit composition, LOL. I guess the ideal counter to mixed flak/lrm is hc, but for this hypothetical let's assume this is unavailable, impractical to attain, whatever. So hc is out. What would you counter with? In theory you could say "I'll counter his lrm with scouts or fighters, and I'll counter his flak with lf," but then his lrm will murder your lf,
