Kryo's right. A good videocard alone just doesn't cut it. Dropping a little extra for a new computer will get you more bang for your buck, and it will last a whole lot longer.

That is, what file do i find the income sources for the crystal and metal asteroids? i want to increase them to make the game faster...[/quote] You could just mod the speed options in the gameplay.constants file.

Akkan's Ion bolt is invaluable to me and targeting uplink isn't bad. Which is the Vasari Crippler?

After doing some checking on one game, I discovered that my 3 AI allies were all enemies AND were all allied to all the AIs that I wasn't allied with. :NOTSURE:

I always forgot about my allowance for a few months until I realized I had enough for a video game. But once I got a job, I suddenly became an almost-miser. The only stuff I've really splurged on was a new computer to replace my (On average) 5-year-old computer and a few games. And lunches. I paid off almost $600 (got that because it can take months to find an entry-level job here, don't even start on professional jobs) of debt and now have almost $1600 saved and the new computer in abo

No. I almost never have a problem unless trying old mods. Are you using the latest version? Hardware to spec? Drivers updated?

You have to combine the files outside of the game. Otherwise there would probably be conflicting information.

Reply to Game speed options in Strategy Sins Forums

I've no clue on the ratios. The way they are listed in the gameplay.constants suggests they do change differently. But I don't know the base speed. From what I've seen, most online games are made with normal speeds.

Yeah, it changes the amount of fleet supply. You are talking about small/normal/large fleets option, right?

Reply to question? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I do believe that is referring to shield mitigation. I would think that shieldAbsorbGrowthPerDamage = how fast the mitigation goes up, shieldAbsorbDecayRate = how fast it goes down, shieldAbsorbBaseMin = the minimum mitigation, shieldColor is self explanatory.

I don't think the option itself is broken, but I think the numbers in the research screen don't change with the setting properly.

[quote]Well one common methodology is to simply release successive updates that only update from the second latest version. So you'd have to run 1.00->1.01, 1.01->1.02, etc. Nowhere near as tedious as it sounds, and easy to do. Could always release one that patches from 1.00 to latest, and from second latest to the current latest.[/quote] I certainly found it tedious with Company of Heroes. If you're unlucky enough to get the original release version, you'll have to download a full 2GB befor
