[quote]You can tell fighter squadrons to hold position? That's frakking awesome. I've always hated watching them attack once and fly a mile in the other direction before they pull around for their second pass.[/quote] You can do it, but that movement is what stops the flak ripping them apart in 5 seconds flat... So be careful if you do stop them!!!

Reply to Full disclosure on SOASE DRM? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm fairly sure you can install Sins without Ent even if you own it... Just don't select that option... A few other points to clarify 1) The EULA states that you cannot transfer your license to another person (no idea why you would want to anyway as the game is so great). The reason for this is that you can re-download Sins (and Ent if you get it) as often as you want from your Impulse account. They don't want you downloading a game you sold to your mate etc... This means that

Reply to ICO 1.20? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

ICO is built into the game engine on the client side So the issue would either be 1) You aren't on the right version 2) You are running entrenchment and they are not or vice versa

[quote]In team games you need to keep in mind that even though you personally might get beat up on, your team might be winning and you need to try to do whatever you can to help your TEAM. Sadly, many people don't understand that and sometimes cost their teams the game by quitting or surrendering before it's been decided.[/quote] So true. I played a 4v5 game the other day - my clan vs 5 others. One guy quit and if you look at the replay, he wasn't being hit as badly as others

Reply to Itsmevic the Early Game Quitter -- worst team player in the game? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

[quote who="crashmatusow" reply="4" id="2151964"]yes, i've heard some things about this name, but still... i love how pro players always yell at the noobs for quitting. wonder if they ever remember their first times getting sandwiched back when they started. yelling doesn't help, just scares the nubkins away. [/quote] FYI - this happened to me a few nights ago. I JUST got an egg out in time. I ended up towards the end of the game being top 5 for fleet and eco

Reply to Itsmevic the Early Game Quitter -- worst team player in the game? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I won't come out and say I am itsmevic's and rubbee's greatest fan ever, but I have played with them both. From what I have seen their styles are different. Saurabh I do not know. But playing style X with name A and style Y with name B would be hard, especially since both play Vassari so much. It isn't as if they have a different style for each race, this would require a different one for each race that they follow depending on who is logged in. Generally what I have noticed r

Reply to Sins v 1.18 and Entrenchment 1.04 - New Information Released in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="ruawahoo2" reply="22" id="2222872"]I'd like the ability to create 1-3 default "fleet" specs and then be able to command a planet to build the entire fleet in one click, rather than having to individually select each and every ship I'd like built. For example, if I wanted a small fleet to guard a planet to star at the beginning of the game, I could go to a menu and comprise a fleet of 8 Corsairs, 6 Javelins, and then click on a planet and order Fleet Selection #1. It woul

Reply to Friendly Suggestions to IC in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

The spectator mode has been discussed before. My biggest concern would be people watching 1) causing lag due to the way the game works 2) being able to see the whole map and using VOIP to tell people in the game what is happening (surely DT would never do this...;))

Reply to Getting booted from games is always annoying. in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Suggestions 1) Try to get known - people with low game counts or low completion ratio (i.e. 20 games, 2 wins, 2 losses) will often be booted as they are either an unknown quantity (could be a newb or could be JJ/Tyr smurfing...) or are a quitter (or at least crash a lot!!!) 2) Ask for a larger game if it isn't 5v5 and they want to replace you Some people don't like booting, some will. It's the internet. it sucks but it happens. Host your own games if you want. That way
