It really depends on whether or not your playing single or multi player. I've never played multi player, so I couldn't tell you anything about that. I only play single....with Vasari do you also have to take out phase gates so they can't use RA?

In order to make a battle easier,which ships are the biggest threat, and should be taken out? 1. 2. 3.
I have to admit, I thought perfomance with new graphics and beta would take a hit, but I 'm happy to say that SINS looks better and runs SMOOTHER than it did before the patch. I used to be afraid of running multiple star games for this reason, but I ran a 4 star system game last night and it runs better now.
Thats my native resolution also, and in graphic settings 1680x1050 is listed [B]twice[/B], both with the same mhz settings.
Yeah, unchecked team colors give you your colors.(should'nt it be the other way)
You know whats weird...been playing games my whole life, I just don't see the point in mods..I play the games the way they were designed then I move on. There are to many great games out there to play then to squeeze every last drop out of a title. I'll play 1.1 when it comes out, but then I know the game has been given an offical once over by the people that created it. Plus then I know there will be no conflicts, and I like to keep my machine lean and mean. :)
What would pirate cap ships look like? Or would they be able to steal the excisting race ships? I think they should have a cap ship that no one else has, as if they raid the WHOLE universe and have ships no one else has seen before.
Thanks..Kitkun
Can someone tell me if these mods have a impact on FPS? I'd rather have not as pretty and smooth, than the other way around.
I stated this before...yeah ugliest ship in game. BTW I forget if it is vasari or advent, but their trade ship, if it were to fly backwards would be a better looking heavy cruiser than the kodiak!
frigates do go up levels....it's called the tech tree......
I never pirate...so as long as it doesnt bog down my gaming machine , I dont mind DRM. You should direct your anger to the thieves who enjoy the medium, but don't want to pay for it.
So in order to beat RA you have to destroy their phase stabilizers and civic centers?
I'm playing TEC and getting my ass handed to me on hard BY Vasari. I thought I had them down but they seem to be unstoppable. Does anyone have any hints on how to beat them? What are those weapon surpressers they have? Also what is the green lasers that are shooting between my ships? I had three novaliths and they still keep coming at me .......people would bitch that the AI would run away, I wish...........
cg49me, LOL
retroboy....your not a DEV are you?
Ironclad or Stardock.... could you please tease us with a screen shot of 1.1's updated graphics for comparison? I excited, but a little nervous that the new graphic's will slow my FPS.
You should not get a new monitor, because it will have a native resolution that will bog down your system. My advice would be to keep current monitor and if you have a pci express motherboard and go for a 8800 and increase your ram by 1 gig. ( 2 total). If not ,take your upgrade money towards a new machine( I just build one for around $ 1200) (quad 2.4 8800gtx) ------THEN you will have a machine that can run games at the higher resolutions that a new monitor will have. Sometimes
I see them fine. White smoke tails............ Maybe it's a graphic detail setting?
The Dunov to me looks like a locomotive.
My vote for worst design wood be the TEC heavy crusier.....you wait to finally build them and their UGLY! It looks like a WW2 tank! (Sherman) Even the pirates heavy cruiser is nicer looking! Maybe something more like Star Treks Defiant maybe?
So does SINS benefit from having 4 gigs instead of 2gigs? Or video memory is most important. I always thought anything above 2 gigs now was a waste.
Now COH in a 4x format where you had to hold ground and conquer areas like SINS and not just individual skirmishes and one 'board', would be pretty awesome. BTW SINS has plenty of small thing moments: Colony ship actualy releases drop ships. Planet traffic. Planet bombardment is 3d with nukes seen rising above planet below. :)
