[quote]Hack! Learn to read! He said he is just acceptional. Y'know...it is like...somewhere between acceptable and exceptional....[/quote] My bad... :D OK - being a little serious Cykur is leaving Sins for an unknown period (maybe forever). He is in DT (Dream Team). I'm not in a clan. DT and Brothers in Arms ([_]) are the two clan generally considered the most skilled. Most of the others have some skill, but are not as strong, or are more casual in their approach.

Always good to get the numbers out Bob. I'm not sure that it takes 30 minutes for 280 increase though.... I wonder if there is some other rule here - same as when looking at the damage output numbers in the files and how they don't equal DPS straight out....

I have no idea what you just said, apart from you want to join a clan. Are you saying we should consider you an exceptional player and you are getting better? Or are you saying you aren't very good but are trying to get better?

Reply to The economics of expansion? in Strategy Sins Forums

Without having done the analysis, I would like to comment on a few things I have seen. People like How and Tyr sometimes will get the HW pop upgrade (assuming vanilla or non-quickstart Entrenchment) if they know they have time on their side (I've watched replays to see what they did in games I have been in with them, regardless of the side I am on). They know it will help them get the credits they need longer term. This is especially important for Vassari who cannot get trade until le

Reply to "Wrong version of Ironclad Online detected" in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

No - only way to patch past 1.05 (which had a dedicated install exe) if Impulse (which takes you to the correct version automatically by updatign only the delta files). No patch = no onilne play. No Impulse = No patch. No IE7 = No Impulse It's that simple I am afraid - you will have to install it. Impulse has been designed around the notion that it will use available windows infrastructure, which includes IE.

Reply to is there a phone number for tech. support? in Technical Sins Forums

Stardock are who you need to are to talk to since it is an Impulse Issue, but I don't think they have a phone number. Incidently, are you sure the card isn't maxed out or reported as stolen or something which would mean the issue is with the card itself???

[quote]inertial dampening does not completely negate the effects of inertia, (you cant completely break the laws of physics) and besides, i thought that the only reason a space craft doesnt need to burn its engines is because it has inertia? now you want to dampen it? the only reason you would want that is to make the fighter stop quicker... but... we're in a dogfight, you dont want to stop...[/quote] 1) Inertial Dampening is to prevent the pilot from being turned into a liquid due to

Reply to Entrenchment is good cos of quick play in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

It also gives you the full pop cap upgrade. Very useful for Vassari especially since they normally take ages to get trade up and running!!!! Though maybe it gives TEC the true advantage as they can have trade running in a couple of minutes if they sacrifice building a big fleet and rushing LRMs out etc... One paradox I have also noticed - potentially Quick Start can result in longer games as they choices between econ and military options are not requried as you can do both....

Reply to Explain this! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I recounted - my bad. 13. The Prog must have only had 1 squad. You still haven't posted the reply and told us WHEN malice was cast on your fleet. It could well have applied just as you were scrolling and then applied again before you got back and fleet has gone pop. You haven't told us if the fighters were balled up over your fleet (hard to tell from the picture). They can rip apart LRM this way much quicker as they don't make strafing runs. The downside to this is the
