Reply to Wouldnt smaller craft such as starfighters be useless in space combat? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

There is no need to cool down a spaceship down to nearly 0K. Space is mind-staggering large and anything but empty. Just imagine how kompex a sensor-device must me to detect a bee in a 100m radius. May be you can detect that there is a bee at all, but where?? Lets assume we have a 30meter-Fighter in therms of only a half AU(75 000 000km). Thats like detecting the bee in a 25 000 km radius. Even if the bee would be 1000K hot, it still is nearly impossible to detect even in cold space.<

Reply to Campaign?? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

As already said, no campaign. It is definetly a good game with an excelent gameplay, but to be honest i am dissapointed that there is still no campaign. If you think that a good book needs a good story no matter how amazing the font and the layout might be, then you will be dissapointed too. I dont like Online-Multiplayer gaming so that part is pretty useless for me too. The skirmishes become excruciating boring after a few times as there is no point in winnig. If you wipe out everybo

Reply to Human Starbase shape in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I agree that the tec base must not be rund. But the current design looks clumsy. I would prefer a pentagonal or hexagonal shape. Especially if the starbase is revolving(Im still not sure if they are supposed to, because they always get "stuck" after a few minutes...)

Uh and i'got another reason why steam and Impulse suck! My IE is fucked up. Even worse than Microsoft intended. It won't install Shockwave, Java or Flash-plugins. No problem at all for me as i would never dare using this steaming pile of crap anyway. At least that is what i thougt. Now i must learn that Steam and Impulse both utilise the flash-player that comes with IE instead of the version of the default browser(Firefox in my case). That way the Middle frame of steam and almost the

Entrenchment won't start (black screen) with solution in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Hi, when i tried launching SOASE:ET yesterday it just froze with a black screen. With some patience is was terminateable from windows. I seems that error i caused when Sins trys loading a mod(on startup) from the original game. If you remove the name of the mod in the settings-file in your Profile it starts without problems. @devs: If i recall correctly there were several patches that erased all personal settings? Quite annoying, but better than black screen... May be there is

Reply to Starbase concept re-think. in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

How about a slow fireing ,single torpedo weapon that can disable hyperjump on an enemy ship for a long time with an range that covers a whole asteroid grav-well and deals seroius damage (1000). The first target priority should be caps. That way you could bypass the starbase, but you would lose one cap a least.

Reply to Wouldnt smaller craft such as starfighters be useless in space combat? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The only reason for fighters/Missles i can think of would be the visibilyty. Sure you can easily blast away any Missle or fighter with a lasercannon, but you have to see them first. Space is a pretty vast area with lots of background radiation. So there is a good chance to hit a Cap on long ranges with an undetectable low emmision warhead. One possibilyty would be to launch the warhead with an super-cooled mass accelerator towards the enemy ship. As they dont expect to be attacked its unlikel

Helpful modding tool in Sins Modding Sins Forums

You might have heard from the devs that they used "beyond compare" for programming. It is a really useful tool wich points out differences between files or even whole folders. It is a real releave when it comes to updating mods after a patch. Comparing the whole gameinfo-folder takes just seconds and the programm maeks every difference between files with colors. Sadly "beyond compare" is limited fpr 30 days. Then you would have to pay about 20€ to maintain it. But there i

Every time i bought a GPU i chose ATI because they always offered a better Benchmark/€-ratio. I dint think that will change too soon, but if someday nVidia has a better offer i woud not hesitate to by a GPU of them. It is exactly the same with AMD an Intel.
