Guess what? there is a brand new thread on the front page about Space Ponies... i really think someone should come and put up a sticky about Space Ponies, as well as a myriad of other things, Frogboy's Diplomacy Wishlist is one, but there are heaps of other topics that would be suitable to be made into stickies.

Far out, nothing against the OP, but can someone in power PLEASE post a sticky about Space Ponies? Honestly, i think in general, this forum would be much better served with more relevant stickies. To answer the question, it is completely random, ive been playing for about a year and a half, and i still havent found them, so if you are going on a hunt, best get comfortable

Perhaps I should not have been sarcastic... but The point i was trying to make was that even more neutrals would mean vasari have an even better advantage.... and it would take no more than 5 scouts to capture that neutral frig factory long enough for them to start building a fleet... which would not have to travel 1/2 way accross the map to reach me, like it would if they built thier fleet at their home planet.

It might sound crazy... but what if the 2 expansions were made to interact seamlessly? So one player who has entrenchment has Starbases etc, the other player who has diplomacy has spies etc, but they dont have what the other player has, so i can fortify my systems and bring some major hurting on your fleets and systems, but you can sabotage my empire and idn whatever else IC has planned... i realise its VERY riskay, but if it works?

'Precious Metal' Resource Extractor - Idea for a new kind of Neutral Extractor in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

So the thought just came to mind: A new kind of neutral extractor that gives a slight increase in credits instead of metal or crystal. The lore would be that precious metals or some other commodity would be mined from these asteroids/moons what-have-you, and, having no value in military or research-based applications, are sold straight to the market for a quick cash influx. Im not going to make any of those grand gestures saying i think this will really improve gameplay etc.</

1. atm, the only real way to win the game is to destroy all of the enemies planets, or destroy enough to make him surrender (depending on if you are playing entrenchment or not) as it stands, AI in entrenchment tend to surrender more than in the original version. However, with the new x-pack being developed, there will be new and different ways to win the game, i assume via culture, economy, and sabotage etc, at least 2. so, culture is spread by broadcast centers (each race is called

Reply to Idea for Caps in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

good idea, but each of those starbase beams is coming from one emitter (if you zoom right down to it, it looks like a 4 pronged, box like fork right?) so each prong of that fork is an emitter, which is why each of those beams can attack a different target. im not sure if this is what you mean or not, but i dont think the Kols beams should be able to target more than 4 targets at a time, i mean, how exactly are you splitting the beam to target each ship? its like splitting a bu
