Reply to Software protection becoming an annoyance in PC Gaming Sins Forums

I remember when Software protection used to be fun. Remeber Star Trek 25th Aniversary? If you warped to the wrong system for the mission you were supposed to be performing, you had to fight the owner of whichever neutral zone you had entered. It was worth warping wrongly just for that. Even going back to a planet from a previous mission gave you the pirates. And then of course, there was the uber pirate battle at the end (geez, did the Enterprise ever get mangled...) Ahh, the good old

So Mutiny1 is either complaining about a beta program if it was a year ago, or making stuff up about the proper released version???

Reply to How do you use the phase gates as the vasari? in Single Player Sins Forums

I have noticed that the ships will not always use a newly built stabaliser for a little while. Not sure why this is. Something in the game isn't updating immediately to host the new shortest route....

Did you uninstall the demo PRIOR to trying to install Sins? Also, you haven't mentioned HOW you are trying to install it - via bundled media or Impulse

Reply to Started today - GUI question in Single Player Sins Forums

Little hint - turrets are useless as they can be circumvented - repair bays, hangers, PJIs and of course a fleet are much better options for defending :)

What you talking about Willis??? I'm able to download games, patch them, save an "as is" version of the game etc... from Impulse - how is that "inconvienient" - especially since it remembers CD keys etc... so I can RE-download them!!!

Instant mini-fleet at your choice of location (assuming you have a stabaliser there)

Reply to Map idea in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I suggested in another thread that Impulse be used to download optional add-on content such as custom maps and mods. The only concern I have is how the downloads are vetted to ensure no dodgy stuff is uploaded for people to download. Plus the issue of SD opening Impulse to non-commercial 3rd parties... The downloads would also need to show up seperately to regular sins stuff as it is optional...

I think Impulse is VERY convenient - the issue so how can SD allow material that may not be trustworthy to be distributed - I wouldn't want an exe or dll slipped in that would allow a virus to run for example. But it would be a great way to do it, considering the issue of auto downloading maps has been attributed to how Vista works...

Reply to Does a "fear" of experienced (or pro) players keep you from playing Sins online? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

What would be a good way of getting new maps and mods etc... and getting the new updates quickly would be Impulse... The only issue would be how to get them "verified" so people don't download junk. I also wouldn't want them tied directly to my Sins install (i.e. pushed to me like a core game update which I have no issue with) - I would want them as free add on things I can download if I choose once Sins is installed and verified. The other issue would be do you let the map/mo
