Had the same issue myself trying to get rid of Entrenchment. Their is an option to show hidden applications under preferences. The unhide option is then available when you click on the now visible (but shadowed app). BTW - this might fix your issue - I can't try it until I get hom in about 5 1/2 hours... https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/338287/get;2046603

You could be right about that Daton - in the game I played in crashed when I was microing my fleet/starbase etc... to kill the constructor, but the game had not crashed when the AI had built in systems I had no visability on yet (due to being further behind the current front lines)...

Everyone is a critic... It is funny (plus witty and cleaver) as Bronze said he would give karma to Tyr when he figured out how - I made a play on words to mean that "when he figures out How" (the player) as opposed to figures out how to give karma via the forums. Get it now???

To Stardock/Ironclad - How do we get vanilla 1.13 installed if first had beta 2 installed? I have tried uninstalling many times and get XML Document error (28,8). I can restore my 1.12 archive via Impulse. However I cannot tell Impulse to only install 1.13 - it continues to believe that Entrenchment is installed, but not correctly and I need to patch it to get it fixed. Impulse does this, and I end up back at Beta 2. I already copied Beta 2 to another folder so I can p

As stated, you use fighters to kill other fighters, bombers are long range frigates. Once they are done with those, they can also kill other units/structures, just not as effectively as bombers due to the various armour type damage modifiers. But as JJ said, as long as you have enough to take the target down, even a little bit at a time, then you have a way of kililng something without your fleet taking damage. This is a big win as it means you are not buying new ships, and therefore are buil

People get upset by quitters who are losing themselves, but quit without thought for the team (e.g. delaying tactics, waiting for support etc...). Quite often that one person is losing, but the team is winning, but them leaving means the team cannot do anything with that slot (e.g. feed, combine fleets etc...) and expect a predictable outcome due to the AI being uncontrollable (i.e. it is only suggestable). This should not be confused with someone being an @$$ just for the fun of

[quote]Additionally, I wouldn't be surprised to see this slightly backfire for Howdidudothat, resulting in people refusing to play with him for fear of being blacklisted.[/quote] I don't think How would care - the people who don't know him would be the newer players who are still skilling up, and therefore not such a challenge for him. By the time they get good enough to play in skilled games, they would know How and know what he is like, and whether they weight his opinion or not....

[quote]I don't think he presumes that people will take what he says seriously merely because it's posted on the Internet but rather because they know him and find him to be reputable and credible.[/quote] This has an element of truth - the players that know one another (i.e. the skilled/pros/what ever you want to call them) also know enough to know when to listen to what others say and take their advice or opinion on board... Also remember - people get a bad rep for things oth

What version of Sins have you got? You need 1.13 Make sure your modem isn't blocking anything. Open the ports listed in your user.setting file (6000 and 7000 iirc)

Install Sins and patch to 1.05. Copy the folder to a different location/new name Fire up Impulse and then patch to 1.13 and you have both versions. Just be careful with maps/mods/save games etc... The real issue is how to have 1.13 and Entrenchment Beta 2 installed when upgrading from 1.12 and Beta 1 - above method won't work....

Don't go and change a thread topic completely like this - start a new one. People cannot follow it as it makes no sense. e.g. me saying " This has never been a bug - this is the auto-placement feature. I think "k" is the shortcut....." makes no sense as you have completely changed the topic... BTW - a RAR file is a file compression format similar to zip/arj etc... You need something to extract the file - e.g. WinRar

I already tried this (did a windows uninstall). It puts Entrenchment back... The whole point of uninstalling it is so you can get 1.13 installed (otherwise you would not have chosen to re-install it...)

I would be happy with having two program folders patching indpendently via Impulse - that way I could patch a vanilla Sins install AND a Entrenchment install. I don't have an issue with the extra download - just with not being able to have both at the same time...

[quote]Just let players decide these things for themselves, and word-of-mouth should take care of the rest by itself.[/quote] Word of mouth had spread for at least a number of the players on the list (rightly or wrongly). All that has happened is that it has been recorded somewhere. You may classify it as libel (again, rightly or wrongly), but otherwise it is slander if said in ICO as that is a real time conversation vs stored in the forums....
