Reply to Allow dropped players to rejoin online multiplayer games in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I realise sins is a whole differant situation but in city of heroes if a player got DCed in a task force they could rejoin when the re logged. Total differeant networking setup though but Im sure there is perhaps a way where it can be achieved in sins. Just thinking about it though I can see it would be difficult, would need to have some method of rentry into the game plus some reliable way of logging a players state at the time of DC. ALthough it would involve alot of work and be tric

Reply to Multiplayer issues are slowly strangling the Sins online community in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I must admit Im loving single player but I see that as practice for when I take the plunge and join a clan for MP , I am a complete strat newbie but not PC newbie and Im hoping multiplayer gets just as much focus tbh as thats where I see the true replay value to lie. I have heard about the MP problems but I will just be waiting in good faith until the fix the problems with patches. On a slightly differant note I can totally agree with what some are saying regarding attitudes in MP, that

Reply to What to do if you discover a really serious multiplayer bug/exploit in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]One thing that's not such a good idea (just in my opinion) is to post it in the public forums and flag it up in the title for everyone to see, because there are plenty of people out there that won't hesitate to use the bug/exploit when they're being outplayed, or even just don't feel like trying too hard for a few games, and we end up with a lot of multiplayer games that get ruined.[/quote] Just my view of what was said , which doesnt make it correct but the point is follow the a

I in no way shape or form can code like you folks :) knowhere near but It figures the kind of targetting you are aiming for would be a complete knightmare! Getting a game out with reviews like it has recieved with what is maybe arguably quite a small publisher is no small feat. Im sure you folks will get it :) as I imagine to get a game to the current standard is an astronomical task in itself! So many combinations of situations which targetting must encompass , man that sounds one ugly coding j

Reply to The Space Ponies ! in Sins Clans Sins Forums

Newbie here :) since starting on sins I have seen numerous mention and pictures of pink space ponies lol. Im just curious how did it all start and what was the reasoning. I read somewhere it started in beta? but what Im curious about is was it the case someone thought okay lets just think up a clan that is basically for a bit of fun? or is there some deeper reason for all this? Just curious is all :) and good luck with recruiting and what not everyone!

[quote]Ok, so it's #2 BUT:1- Digital sales not included.2- Walmart not included.3- Only available in North America at the moment. 4- Not much advertising/hype compared to other games.5- New and unheard of game developer.

About time to flush the toilet of the PC gaming world and get rid of a few names and that funky smell.[/quote] Completely agree , if a game is good it will se

Reply to This game takes too long? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I just hope with all these threads regarding molesting the epic proportions of the game dont ruin the game because I bought sins for long drawn out battles and so I could tank an enemy while doing other things. I have a heap of other strats sitting in boxes very rarely played because they are ALL rush material with many limitations as too how you can play. Its not for me too say though I guess being too new so all I would suggest is that people be careful what they are asking for eithe

Hi I am in the UK but when I was making the purchase I didnt see it in any retail stores so I had the same worry, not sure about aus but looking at what others have said it sounds like it should be fine as digital download. I bought a game digital download once from the US and had the kind of problem you asked about and I was lucky enough to get a refund.

Hi I read this post when I first bought the game and on first look at the game I wasnt sure but after spending some time reading and watching some epic battles as well as playing a few games I love the game as well. I love the game pace because while a battle is raging in one sector , if I have the correct ships built to tank I can mount a counter attack. I also like how you arent treating your userbase like criminals, with stupid protection schemes that dont work only damage a system. Fact is a

Reply to No More Patches! The Game is Perfect! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I can understand the MP gripes if they are getting de-syncs because the netcode isnt nat aware or some other reason .(I hate de-syncs and such things so I sympathise!) I am just playing SP at the momment and am really enjoying it now :) like the game pace. Hope I can say the same as I get better! I hope all the issues get fixed but hope also that the game balance and speed doesnt get wrecked because of "ubers". I hope a balance is struck that meets the needs of veterans and newbies alike but tha

Really good post, I actually went the colonizing cap ship with TEC and am doing alot better my 2nd game than my first, I plan to try many ways but its good to read so much tips regarding early game choices. [quote]There's something else that people have brought up, the fact that sometimes you need to colonize in different direction. For instance, you jump to a roid, take it, but then must go back to the homeworld and take another. I very rarely do this. The only way I do this

List of what counters what? in Strategy Sins Forums

Hi , really loving sins now after messing up my first game but doing much better my 2nd game. I cant find on the forums a list which shows in a basic format without actual numbers what ship counters what, what point defenses are best for what. I guess it will come from experiance and the reason Im not wanting an absolute maths breakdown of things is I dont want to ruin the enjoyment of finding things out. Im just learning and have just figured out some ways to get my start game better
