from ze_doom's post i hav now created the origins of the darkness, so here we go. at the center of the Vasari Empire, something goes terribly wrong at the Vitsurka Experimental Transport Lab. Space around it combusts, forming a neutron star. but the affects of the experiment infuse themselves into the star, making it come alive, splitting itself in a sort of asexual reproduction, rapidly at first, so that in minutes there are thousands of these smaller energized particles. unknown to

[quote who="The_Rezonator_1" reply="5" id="2113078"]and omg, i just thought of it... what would this energy-race's starbase look like? or their weapons? or planet bombing abilites or culture? very very cool [/quote] hey i just thought of a sweet level 6 cap ship ability for these guys. they "absorb" one of their smaller ships, and blast out its energy equivalent as a special gun or something. super powerful, probably instantly destroying a ship or wiping out a cap ships shields,
[quote who="The_Rezonator_1" reply="5" id="2113078"]anyway, i think the not jumping out thing is good, although there was some story bible somewhere that said one vasari ship returned badly damaged, with its crew gone mad from fear or something, so, maybe som tweaking? [/quote] it said one ship was badly damaged, but what i was thinking was that the no-phase-out thing would only come into play once the darkness had captured (specifically not colonized, as they do not breed,
well iv read through all the posts and using them to shape my ideas, heres wat i hav concluded: NAME (referred to by the Remnant Vasari): The Darkness (name taken from hit story Sinners ([e digicons]:D[/e] for publicity)) * just looking this over before posting and realized that "the darkness" is kinda an oxymoron for the kind of creatures im imagining, but that just spices things up* SUSBSTANCE: energized particle-creatures, perhaps shocking blue
[quote who="Orodum" reply="14" id="2109302"]usually copy/paste will keep the fonts and other formatting [/quote] i no, thats wat i always do, but some fonts dont stay. no idea why.
its so sad...i had picked out a really great font for the creepy psionic power voice part, and then remembered when I went to post it that Impulse could only use the fonts it provided. big, big bummer. so i had to opt for that bold one instead. such a shame.

the idea needs work...but i like where it is going marine drop ships could also be the answer to the bombarding-planet-as-only-means-of-colonizing-enemy-planets question. of course this dropship should be relatively cheap and heavily armored...(maybe not so cheap, but not too extravagent)
nope but that would be something cool to have in other expansions. miniature moon bases and such.
there are a few "rebel" ships at every planet and asteroid that belong to just that planet. so you have to fight a bit to be able to colonize the planet. u cant disable them. sometimes in uncolonizable areas there are "rebel" pirates that dont belong to the normal pirate group too, and theyr just like the planet rebels, you cant disable them.

[quote who="Jrla21" reply="3" id="2094659"]Wow, cool story. I am reding it and liking it. You know, in the Advent story, it just says that females have a 'Natural Prowess' when it cane to Psionic abilities. It doesn't mean that men don't have the ability. It just means that the have to go through more hoops in order to match the abilities that females have. That is what is going to be reflected in my story. +1 for a great story! [
very nice. liked the slow missily fly-by. that was pretty sweet.

AND WE HAVE IT! i am introducing a new segment of Sinners, called Sinners Chronicles. It might follow the story, it might not, but its going to be a collection of videos with some background info on the races and some of their lore. its gonna be sweet. at least wen i get the full fraps. right now i hav the free version, which is sucky. so the first video i made im calling a teaser, and ill change it into the actual prologue for Chronicles as soon as i get the full fraps. but w
[quote who="-Ue_Carbon" reply="11" id="2091238"]Thanks! Yeah, if I can get the story out during the Ingame shots would be awesome. Ive yet to hit that master idea yet on how too. If you just send me an email. I will send it to you. Replays are in the C:\Users\"USERNAME"\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire folder, there is a folder for auto replays for single player and multi. Also one for replays you save via record button while in game. [/quote

also, where can u find the replay files on ur comp? iv looked and theyr nowhere to be found. and wat program did u make the teaser on? might do some video stuff myself [e digicons]O:)[/e]
i like the video idea, and that teaser was AWESOME. great job. do u hav the file sharing link yet?
if u guys r questioning the ships names, its still a while till the races get to the point where we play in sins. so no "real" ship names yet. i get to make them up [e digicons]}:)[/e]

[quote who="crashmatusow" reply="19" id="2082481"]i kinda have to disagree about the perspective on advent here...they are a collective concsience. i imagine their leadership structure is actually rather effetive--if the top guy gets nocked off, everyone moves up a notch. and i don't see advent pirates being particularly common. its just not in their nature. or they wouldn't take money & would just hate everyone and attack randomly...remember-advent hate EVERYONE. and i imagine the unity
