[quote who="kryo" reply="23" id="3025772"] Quoting Anguille, reply 22I am curious to hear what's better from Steam than from Impulse... I've had to download from both this week... Impulse was still ~50% faster, so it still has the edge on that front (as will the new SDC).[/quote] Strange that Stardock don't promote his own store !!! Recently buy Gal Civ II ultimate on https://store.stardock.c

I think that it is best to wait the Rebellion release before speaking about Titan... and give some more time to Tobi for analyse the titan code from rebellion... Rebellion will be released around april next year... until them, i think that we have enough work for finish a diplomacy version ( who don't have titan )...
[quote who="Anguille" reply="12" id="3025607"]Sorry but this is not true...Armada 2526 has always been extremely stable on many computers i have at home. I guess you were very unlucky with your computer.[/quote] No problem with my computer...problem with the game shader and nvidia card...

I have buy Armada 2526 at the release date... was with so much bugs that i was impossible to finish a game... after 1 patch, several of the major bugs was not resolved and i have remove the game from my computer... i don't give a second chance to a game who is released in a unplayable state... don't care if it work better today with the expansion pack... As for the gameplay, when it don't crash, strategic map level is not so bad but real time battle are more like a space i
It is not a Stardock game and yes, it a Impulse ( gamestop ) problem... As for the purchase date, it is in my difficult to read quote, in the previous post... I don't really care so much about these game ( it cannot play on Vista and win7, only xp 32 bit or older OS )... my post was more about showing that Gamestop is slowly destroying the very reliable tool ( Impulse ) that you have build... i know that Stardock is not anymore responsible for what happen with impulse but

Well, Drakh mothership is not really a titan... one take heavy damage in 2266 when they have attack earth and one was easily destroy in 2267 by the Excalibur... the Drakh mothership is nothing more that a huge carrier with almost no offensive/defensive weapons... the difference with other carrier is that the complement is not fighter/bomber but Drakh cruiser ( main weapons is a blue colored beam, multiple secondary weapons with yellow colored pulse bolts )... As titan, you have the Vo

[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="10" id="3024543"]I also think its texture system might change. like from Supreme Commander 1 to supreme commander 2 while its particle system gets buffed.[/quote] Hope not... SC1 was great on the graphics level... for SC2, it is like if a kids of 5 year have use a huge brush for apply vivid color ( somehow like Metro of Windows 8 )... If Stardock move from shader 2.x to 3.x, i hope that it is for improve the visual, not for downgrade them
Q: Will ships/structures finally get working turrets that spin and turn like a normal turret would ala Homeworld 2? No, it’s hard to justify spending the CPU cycles on a purely cosmetic feature that you’d only see when fully zoomed in. ;) Somehow already possible with modding, in case of pop-up turret... .mesh from turret need to be removed from main .mesh and used for make the firing particle eff
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="3" id="3024310"]...though of course us modders then have to decide whose mod gets played.[/quote] Will not take a lot of time for modders to create a "cheat" mods who will allow modders to crush the pro player :p :p :p Same with a usual mod, it is not sure that pro-player will win... there is mods who change a lot the game mechanic and pro player will need to learn again the game... and modders who have create the mod already know the new mechanic

How could i translate this game in french? Is this possible? Update to dip 1.33 via Impulse... pray your God Yarlen... once you start diplomacy, text will be in French... if not, delete the english.str in "/Program Files (x86)/Stardock Games/Sins of a Solar Empire/Diplomacy/String" and rename the "french.str" to "english.str"...

Well, it is possible to save at 100% quality in .jpg but file size will be similar to .tga or .png ... it is good to use .tga or .png because you can use a alpha channel for transparancy... If you use photoshop, use .psd ... with Gimp, .xcf ... both format allow to save picture with multiple layer... very useful when you make plenty of copy/paste on a sci-fi hull panel... If you choose Gimp, install GPS ( Gimp Paint Studio )... if is one of the best add-on for Gimp ( and again
