Rebellion Bugs in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I think this has been resolved internally, but my flagship disappeared in a star's well. I can't see it and it won't move. (Maybe resolved as of v2a) Militia Weaponry didn't increase the "Average Gauss Damage" statistic for Gauss Platforms. I don't know if the damage was actually increased...it also doesn't increase weapon damage on ships in friendly territory as advertised. (still exists in v2a) I captured the Occupied Planet in a 4 player F

Reply to Rebellion Beta Not Utilizing Multiple CPU Cores in Technical Sins Forums

[quote who="Tridus" reply="1" id="3127070"]Yeah. It's because the game engine is from a few years ago now, and doesn't support multithreading at all. It's gotten gradually more problematic over time as they added more "stuff" into the game for that one core to try and handle. There's no plans to change it sadly. Maybe in a sequel.[/quote] That's a damned shame.

Rebellion Beta Not Utilizing Multiple CPU Cores in Technical Sins Forums

During a large scale battle I noticed the game begin to slow down, which is odd given my system is quite beefy. I pulled up task manager and noticed that Sins is only taxing the first CPU core. It's 2012 folks - let's multi-thread. For the record, I'm using an AMD FX-6100 with an AMD Radeon HD 6800 and 16GB RAM. All drivers/firmware/BIOS up to date.

Reply to Thoughts on the Sins Rebellion Beta in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I've had many people point out that you can shift-click to have ships avoid mines and other defenses, but I just disagree that this should be required. Like you, I get furious when I see ships get wiped out by mines. Especially because one ship can fly past a mine and nothing happens and then another comes along just as closely or even further away and BOOM. This is just shoddy programming. As for the default view issue, I simply think the game should remember your viewing angle e

Thoughts on the Sins Rebellion Beta in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Well folks, it's been almost four years to the day since I posted about my " Minor Annoyances " with Sins. In that time there have been two expansions, tons of updates and one brand new Beta - that's a lot of water under the bridge. I was so excited to get my hands on the Rebellion Beta. Four years, I thought, surely would be enough time to address some of those issues and I was really looking forward to the new T

Reply to [Topic Closed] Star Trek : Sacrifice of Angels 2: Entrenchment in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I have posted two videos from my testing of SoA2 on my XFire profile here: http://www.xfire.com/profile/sc123/videos/ On the second video you can see that there is a pretty serious bug where the fleet flies through the Borg cube. Oh, and the Cube is insanely difficult to defeat - probably unbeatable without a maxed out fleet. v0.03c works fine for me in Windows 7 with Sins v1.16. It's a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to the next version!

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="12" id="1907200"]Minefields and subspace inhibitors will help. Starbases will have very long range as well, so unless you do a poor job of placing one, it should be able to deal with incoming fleets pretty well.[/quote] Still, I'm concerned that a player could simply fly right past a starbase and bombard the planet from the other side. Regardless of the amount of damage inflicted on a fleet, if even a few ships with bombardment capabilities get through

OK - I'm excited about Entrenchment, but I can't believe no one has thought to ask: What stops your enemy from just going around the starbase ? From the videos I've seen the starbase was placed on one side of the planet, so unless the thing is going to shoot through or around planets, then they would seem to be somewhat pointless. Thoughts?

Reply to Is no one playing Patch 1.05? in Multiplayer Organizer Sins Forums

Every time I get on to play there is almost no one in the lobby, and it's nearly impossible to get a game going. I've been playing SP and MP with friends LAN style. That's how I came up with my thoughts on it: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/319919

Reply to Hoping for better home defence in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I don't like how all modern RTS games don't support defensive tactics. I can't think of one in the last five years that has. Sins is no different. Sure, you can turtle, but as a previous poster stated you can simply go around it. The range increases available through research for cannons aren't enough, and hanger defenses are useless because the strike craft don't attack other strike craft, and it's impossible to build up enough hangers to mount a serious defense by themselves. <

[quote]5 patches later, the geniuses behind this game still think that 1 enemy ship should be able to defeat 50 TEC heavy cruisers. See for yourself:http://avenger.kirenet.com/~nexworks/sins.jpgThere sits my fleet of 50 heavy cruisers, unable to move, or shoot (and conventiantly they clump themselves together, even though their orders are for Loose formation).

Because they had a direct deal with the pirates!!!

My Thoughts on 1.09 in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Well I've had a chance to play a good deal of SP and MP 1.09 and my general feeling is that, while there are certainly minor improvements, 1.09 isn't what I had hoped. Since this is just the BETA of the 1.1 patch, I can only hope that some of the things mentioned below will be corrected/added. Balance Issues Single player is a lot more challenging. I used to be able to take on any number of Hard AI without i

It has been identified earlier in this thread, but the mod hasn't been updated in so long and it has never been "fixed". It happens when you destroy a particular ship type - read back through this thread to find out which (I can't remember). Too bad

This is so sad - my poor little thread. I just wanted to know why OD hadn't been updated in over a year, and even though I didn't like the answer, I got one. Now animals are being abused and people are ranting about the same garbage that's filled a dozen topics before mine. Even worse, I go and write a long thoughtful post on the previous page and no one says anything :NOTSURE: I must have recognition!

Ahh! My poor thread! It's been hijacked! Seriously, though. Let's all be fair and try not to be drooling fanboys for a few minutes. iVAN has issues with the product, and Stardock refuses to address them. There is an Alpha available, but I think we all know it probably won't resolve all or even any of his issues (it certainly didn't address mine - and I actually installed it :) ). I agree with iVAN that the changelog needs to be updated, even if I'm not willing to make a federal ca

Well after I installed 1.91k[a].025 it shows up as being v1.90a (Build 538u) in the app itself. My initial point still stands, however. It's been over a year since an official release, and this Alpha, Beta, or whatever you call it is minor at best. Even the changelog (History on Impulse) doesn't include any significant details, and doesn't even mention the current version that is available. It just seems a shame that such a useful and interesting program should receive so little atte

Reply to Is ObjectDock Plus Dead? in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

OK - Issue solved. You have to have the product registered in Impulse to receive the update. Impulse didn't register it automatically because I used a different E-Mail address to purchase ObjectDock Plus than my other Stardock apps.
