Reply to Custom Map Club -- let's all install the same custom maps so we can play good customs. in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

A biweekly map pack might be a good idea. I'm not so sure about having an auto-installer--what happens if the map files are already installed? Once people figure out how to add the maps and title texture files the first time they'll be able to do it again, easily.

Reply to Custom Map Club -- let's all install the same custom maps so we can play good customs. in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I like the way the www.Sins.bz site handles things. I just submitted a new one I designed, [color="#00BFFF"]3v3 Asteroid Belt LE-101[/color] and hope to play it tonight. It's up at Sins.bz now and I also submitted it to Stardock though I don't know if that one "took" or not. In case anyone's wondering, the LE-101 at the end of my maps is a convention from Unreal Tournament clan maps. It stands for "League Edition version 101".

Maybe this game could use a Futurama voices mod.

Yeah...lots of IRC servers. Only one that I know of (that's populated) for Sins is the Stardock server. SERVER: irc.Stardock.com CHANNEL: #sins

Custom Map Club -- let's all install the same custom maps so we can play good customs. in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Are you getting tired of playing the same maps over and over and over? Getting sick of Maelstrom and the not-so-random "Random" maps? (The planet types change but the starting positions, the planet positions, and the phase lanes are the same; just open them up in Galaxy Forge and take a look.) Maybe it's time to start a Custom Map Club. At present the game will not auto-download custom maps, so if we want to play them they need to be installed and downloaded separately. If a b

I suggest getting Galaxy Forge and reading the tutorial. It's very easy to use and it allows you to place individual planets wherever you want. However, as of now any maps you make in Galaxy Forge will not auto-download for online multiplayer games so folks will have to obtain your maps first before trying to play them.

Thank you, Ironclad and Stardock, for your continued support of the the game. Look forward to the 1.1 patch.

I take it that the Mothership has to be in the same gravity well at the same time as the capital ship that bites it?

Reply to Ships that "Capture?" in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I must say that I do find it a little incredulous that the Vasari Scout and the colonizers can capture neutral extractors but that capital ships (or at least motherships) can't.

Reply to Give scouts an option to avoid pirates or focus on enemy planets in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Good idea. I'd also like to see one that would allow them to run around gravity wells and avoid enemy ships. (This can all be done via micromanagement so why not include an option to automatically enable this.)

Reply to why must ppl be morons online. in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

The worst I've seen in Sins is nothing compared to what I've seen in FPS communities. There are some despicable folks who are just bad, disgusting human beings. Some of the better players will even heavily insult lesser-skilled players on Teamspeak, harassing them over voice comm. I know one guy in particular who seems to think that he's God's gift to humanity and I worry that his head is so inflated that if he isn't chained to the ground he'll do us all a favor and float off into spa

Reply to Remove the "Quit" Button - petition in Technical Sins Forums

Here's the problem. Folks don't want to take a loss when they feel that they didn't do anything to merit taking a loss. What happens if you're playing a 3v3 and the other two players on your team get minidumps two minutes into the game making it a 3v1 and two AI? Should you have to take a loss for that? What happens if you're playing a 3v3 and you learn that the other two guys on your team are noobs and the three players on the other team are elite clanners who are on

Reply to Why can't new/player maps be auto uploaded to players? in Technical Sins Forums

I going to try to pimp Ring of Risk some on ICO and see if I can get some folks to download it and add it to their game. I really don't think that having to spend the three minutes needed to do that is too much for someone who takes the game seriously and who's getting tired of playing Maelstrom and the not-so-random "random" maps. Heck, back when I was playing the original Unreal Tournament on dialup I would wait over 5 minutes or more just to download a new custom map and I woul

Would it be possible for someone to make a mod to allow more than ten players or is that limit just firmly hardwired into the code?

Reply to Why can't new/player maps be auto uploaded to players? in Technical Sins Forums

As a custom map maker, I just wanted to chime in to add my support for patching the game to allow auto-downloads. The map files and the .tga files (the title-picture boxes you see in the game setup screen) are very small and should easily and quickly transfer between hosts and players for this game (unlike much larger and sometimes gargantuan first person shooter maps).

After that...time to move on to online multiplayer to play human opponents. Once you feel comfortable with the game it's more fun than playing feckless AI.

Reply to This game is broken in Technical Sins Forums

This game has essentially zero copy-protection and it doesn't require you to keep the DVD in the drive in order to play it. Instead you need to enter your key to access the downloads from the official site. You're complaining about that?

User Interface Suggestion -- don't include Scout Ships when box-selecting fleets. in Technical Sins Forums

Is it just me or does anyone else find it annoying that when you box select a whole bunch of ships, it also includes scout ships? I'd like it if the scout ship boxxing behaved like the colonizer ship boxing--they're ignored unless they're the only ships in the box.

Reply to Advent Mothership -- how do you do Ressurection? in Strategy Sins Forums

In IRC someone suggested that the mothership seems to automatically take up the spirits of any other capital ship that dies when its in a gravity well even if it isn't at Level 6 yet. This is passive. Later you use the resurrection ability actively on a capital ship to complete the resurrection. Is that correct? Is the number of capital ship souls the mothership can save and store unlimited?

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire Technical FAQ in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

After having tried to host for a while, someone made an interesting observation: The first person to join me never seems to have a problem getting in. It's the people after that that seem to have a problem. Any thoughts on why that might be? On my end, when I try to join other games, sometimes I need to try 10 times before I can get (even though other people are already in) after receiving quick rejections.
