My father was a stay-at-home dad for a while (though not of his own volition as it was in response to his industry tanking) so there were some issues related to that. I do feel like egalitarianism would be a better term rather than feminism, at least for me. For instance, due to my personal experience with feminists that I have known most well (one was my ex, the other is the girlfriend of a friend), I naturally associate feminism with their actions, both of which were pretty ne

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire 2 in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Eh, I don't know about keeping the same races and adding a couple new ones. I feel like they'd just split it up much like how Goa did with E4X where the factions are no longer just called rebels, but are more fleshed out and differentiated. My personal take on it: TEC: formerly the TEC Loyalists, they rely on the wealth of the central worlds, having become something of a corporatocracy and a walled garden. Human Federation: formerly TEC Rebels that have bec

Titans are actually the thing I dislike most about Rebellion, having always felt that they invalidated a lot of the game.

Reply to Fan made campaign in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

If a true campaign, that means disabling all research from entrenchment, diplomacy, and rebellion which means custom player entity files. Also, if you have a rent a cop fleet, you should probably compel the player to use the Sova. Either you mod this right and probably blow the data cap or you're just making a list of skirmishes.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="3481288"] Indeed. It is a delicate topic and yet one handled with the subtlety of a battle axe. I've walked into studios and game magazines that had the vibe of a college frat house. They aren't welcoming environments for women and that is a big part of the problem. I've seen some of the very same game magazines whose idea of hiring women is to have a female receptionist blast "the industry" for sexism. T

A few notes about myself first off. Hopefully this will stem the tide of assumptions. I hate to have to do this, but after a sufficient number of online debates regarding contentious issues, I feel that some background on who I am tends to reduce the frequency of unfounded vitriol flung in my direction on account of false assumptions. I am a male senior in CS wishing to work as a game programmer for PC games upon graduation. I have more female than male fr

That's how I interpreted it as well. I was just saying once we hit August, it could happen any day, so we are approaching the front end of what is possible according to that statement.

As we near the end of July and thus the announcement time as mentioned by Frogboy (which if I were to guess will be after he gets back from vacation), I went digging through the forums to look at anything I could find. I believe this post from several months ago is worth noting. [quote who="kryo" reply="1" id="3423139"]Ironclad doesn't have enough people to develop two games at once. [/quote]

ConvertData.exe. It converts them from binaries to text files. You have to run it from the command line though. Or you can just download the text form of files. Here's my personal store of reference entity files. There are two batch files included along with ConvertData which save me the time of having to manually call it for every file I want to convert. http://www.media

Go into the race entity files and remove the research for the superweapons and reduce the research count by 1. Now no one can research (and thus no one can build) superweapons.

Massively overhauled the way that pluggables work. The visual difference is small, but in terms of how it works, the difference is very large. This will make them both more usable and IMO look nicer. Down the line, it will also make adding new pluggables faster. The next steps will be to finish support for the other sorts of pluggables, change the output lines to be drawn from the new output ports (those new colored blocks on the right sides of panels), and make plug
