The AI doesn't do much of anything very efficiently or very well. It is pretty good at suiciding itself on starbases.

Unfortunately, when you're designing a game, you can't do it with the intention that only 5% of all PC owners will have the power needed to be able to play it, especially in the midst of an economic depression. (Not everyone is rich and can afford a fancy-schmancy new 8 core computer and not everyone knows or has the where-with-all to order parts inexpensively from Newegg and build their own 8 core rig.). Instead, you would hope that any computer with a lowly dual core CPU

Reply to Finding a reliable group of player? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

It seems like the overwhelming majority of games that are open to the general public are for PvP and not against AI (which personally suits me just fine), and that most of the comp stomps are played amongst closed groups of friends. So, if you really want to comp stomp what you might consider doing is (1) hosting your own comp stomp game with a title like "all welcome vs AI" or (2) joining game channels for private comp stomps and asking the people nicely if you can join them against th

Reply to Two things I'd like to see worked on for future in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'd love to see the empire tree get reworked, including a toggle button to make it full screen for large battles. (Suppose there are big fleets and I want to order all ships to focus fire on a certain enemy capital ship--it would be easier to find if I could make the empire tree full screen with a simple click.) The best thing would be a dual monitor option where I could just move the empire tree to a second monitor and let it occupy the entire screen.
