Reply to What Other Space Games Do People Like? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

I don't think i need to repeat Homeworld... If your looking for variety, Mass Effect is an excellent space opera RPG game... Nexus: The Jupiter incident is an excellent game its on steam i think theres a game called Genesis Rising, if they patched the hell out of it, and you can get several people playing it (the campaign is annoying... no, it is 100% annoying). If you can find a game where you can make enemy ships explode in blood. ALso, theres a game called..

[quote who="Blair Fraser" reply="1" id="1399860"]Please send the minidump and save game (it will zip up really small) to [email protected] and we'll take a look at it for you [/quote] Out of curiosity, what do you do with the minidump? is it like that when an app goes wrong it asks you if you want to error report to Microsoft?

Reply to Advent carrier amplify energy aura in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

what about the aura and as far as i know, yes more trade ports give you more income. Refineries max out at 3, theres a great thread about how refineries work, but put simply they boost the income of the extractors in the same, and adjacent gravity wells .

Reply to Advantage of a quad-core? ^_^; in Technical Sins Forums

[quote who="whiteknight321" reply="2" id="2007279"]It would still be good for games which require some serious horsepower(I.E. Supreme Commander)[/quote] Someone for Supreme Commander came up with the "CoreMaximizer" that allowed the game to actually run on several cores, rather than do so as needed.

Reply to Too much Entrenchment in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="PurplePaladin" reply="16" id="1999327"]Agreed, use Scouts or Flak ships to sweep; but slow the fleet WAY down when doing so; just like in real life, you can slowly/safely walk through a mine field, or run through and take your chances (and lumps). [/quote] I agree, the flak frigate would seem to make sense from a literal perspective. kind of carpet bombing space with flak should set off a mine...

Bug in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

ah just downloading the beta, having a lot of fun but about an hour ago i alt-tab'd from the game, and then maximized it. I was fully zoomed out and when i started to zoom in on a planet the screen went black, crashed and then a window appeared, stating that the game was performing a memory dump and saving something in a .dmp file. just wondering if its fixable or will be fixed in Entrenchment 1.0
