Reply to Clearing Mines in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

[quote who="Pinafal" reply="2" id="3172433"]I have done it a number of times yet with mines being placed everywhere by the AI it's still a nuisance to do it when you've managed to kill them but every remaining planet has a large number of mines everywhere.[/quote] Yeah I wish mines would at least disappear on some of these following criteria: -Planet and tactical structures are destroyed -Faction is defeated -Friendly / Own faction has taken the planet<

Reply to ADS in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

If you're using Chrome or Firefox you can use adblock. I can't abide wayward advertising, and other game forums do without them just fine. At least they're not popups or javascript minigames. Those are a dealbreaker.

Reply to Super weapon cap option in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

[quote who="tobz1000" reply="1" id="3170140"]There actually is a cap of 4 per player now; before rebellion, no cap at all. It was kinda hilarious. But I agree: things like this, enabling/disabling mines, and similar options would be nice.[/quote] Actually this nails what I was gonna put forward. Mines are tedious irritants to me, and superweapons can accomplish ridiculous feats - I'd like to have a game without either. It might even be worth modding, I'll try my

Reply to To everybody who claims that comp stomps are for losers. in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I'm pretty sure one gamer calling another a loser is the least important interaction in the entire world. Wouldn't worry about it. I haven't played multiplayer, for a couple reasons. The game is fun enough on its own, and none of my online buddies seem to be interested in this title. The last few RTSes I played online were depressing, usually boiling down to some tween abandoning the game's intent in one way or another. Nobody would watch NASCA

Reply to Auto Save interval in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Sorry to commit necromancy here but thanks for this thread. It works in Rebellion Beta (Which for me has a rare but debilitating crash when I go to the save screen). I set it at 300 ticks, so I get an auto-save every five minutes.

Reply to Which titan is most fun in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

My favorite is the Advent Rebel Titan. I just [i]can't[/i] resist it. Once I led her into a pirate base, and what followed was a music video montage of destruction. You know what I loved about it? Everything. She just gave them the robot stare while their frigates charged in. Explosions sprinkled around the arc of her range, and her shield bar scarcely flinched. She sank them all, nano-gobbled up their remains and caught up on the last two epi

Whew, glad I found this thread. Saw the invalid thing and immediately feared that I had only paid for the beta and would have to pay for the game all over again. :) thanks for answering us panicky folks.

Reply to I can't believe Elemental goes gold in 1 month in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Q1 2011 is still going to be there, for your updating wants. Based on what I've experienced in Beta, you're going to have a healthy fanbase behind you when you do make changes. I know it's not all going to be on the same schedule and workflow, but Q3 2010 is not the last word for your game. :)

Reply to Elemental Beta 3 Walkthru in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Well I'm excited all over again. Please do release this week! I think Beta2 felt a bit too much like a step back rather than a step to the side and this might just be a much more practical way for us to look out over the game as a game and not just some little parcels. It looks so phenomenal, I can't wait. As an aside, I hope you're proud, you and the Stardock team working on it. :)

Reply to Knowing when to hit 'end turn' in War of Magic Elemental Forums

You're probably overthinking it - and it's not just you. This happened to me when I first played GalCiv2 ("Ok is this guy out of moves?" "how come he can only move once? Asteroid field? Is he gonna die?", and so on). The thing is, you don't literally, at all times, have to be "doing" anything. You can station a guy somewhere, have someone wander carefully past those hills, do a quick budget and figure out where you want your next town, whether you want it f

Just didn't have the serial yet, it arrived shortly enough. It's now "copying files" so. Essentially I'm bouncing around on my chair, hoping no one brings up what my Friday night is going to have looked like.

Reply to Beta 2A in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Kinda curious to find out if there will be an E-mail about it (since my preorder didn't include an unlock code) but, there are only so many more hours of suspense for me, then it's just gonna be a solid "next Thursday". Edit; the mail says i'll be notified & charged, but it doesn't specify as to whether that means for the beta, or exclusively for the Retail launch. Either way I guess I'm just gonna keep checking back.
