Reply to Expert Sins Players are !@#$ Holes in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

[quote who="CenturionJixra" reply="13" id="2215709"] Quoting LordSethD, reply 12 Eh a lot of my friends that play online say that they come across more "asshats" then friendly players, which is mostly why I've taken to just fighting the AI on unfair. I have no tolerance for idiots so as soon as an asshat start piping up with comments or spamming a unit I lose all interest in the game. If the game has ben good sure I'll stick but when it comes right down to it I hat

Reply to Ideas For new expansions in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

i like the idea of massive battles with starbases etc, reinforcements continually streaming in, etc etc unfortunately, this isnt the way to do it. your ideas throw the balance off and change entire gameplay concepts. there was a petition a while ago for super dreadnaughts who level up using a system something between a starbase and a cap ship, and there would only be one and it could come ino a battle and fight much like a starbase, except it moves. <p

i remember a movie... cant remember the name... but it had Sam Neil in it (the Aussie guy from Jurassic Park etc) anyway, its a Sci-fi movie about a new kind of FTL drive that rather than just going fast, created a wormhole (everyone knows about wormholes) anyway, the first prototype went through and everyone on board died, then the rescue ship, with Sam Neil, found the prototype, looked at the sensor readings, and they said everyone on board died from madness a

Reply to AI is stupid on custom maps? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

i played a custom map made by a friend of mine for 4 players, had the same thing, lots of planets, but only 1 pirate base just outside of the star for each arm (i.e. each player had 30 or so planets and had to go through a pirate base to get to the star, then another pirate base to get to another arm. anyway, it was me against 2 unfair researchers, they got through the pirate bases before me (although i did sorta leave it on purpose...) they both had very fortified planets, ve

id like v1.17 and v1.03 to come out already =) unless the devs like some ideas here and are trying to cram as much in as possible... lastly, for the last time, Sins does not require you to be online or have Impulse running while playing (single player that is, MP is pretty duh) i mean, ive stopped playing Sins for a bit recently, i feel like doing something that Sins cant really provide. Yet, i know that there should be a few patches coming soon, so i still log

there is a book called The Lure... im sorry i forget who wrote it, but its about a group of scientists who discover a message being transmitted to them in the form of exotic particles. anyway, most of the book was talking about the implications of the message, and then, the implications to responding. on one hand, it can be understood that the reason the message was transmitted in such an advanced, difficult to detect way, was to determine if we are advanced enough yet (a

[quote who="Jedmonds24" reply="2" id="2200610"]I think if anyone is going to post in this thread they should be required to read your link in full. The author did a wonderfull job of breaking down the debate (even as far as the root of the word pirate) using research and having sources to back up every claim. Some things he wrote about (freeriders) I found quite interesting as I did not know even piracy itself suffers from the act of well piracy. Wel

Reply to Sort of random question in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

no, you phrased the question correctly, we were just theorising first off, 9 is the answer, it is totally possible to have to face off against 9 AI's at once, if the objective is to do so. if you want to face and win against 9 ai, you have to be careful to be in a position to win. it usually takes a while for empires to die, anyway you asked what is the most ai faced at once, it really depends on the size of the map, ive played against 5 other AI, at once, but you often hear o

no, these happen sometimes, i get it alot. i told a bunch of new caps to join a fleet, and to get to the fleet they had to jump through a wormhole. however, once they got to the wormhole, instead of using it, they decided to use sub-light engines to get to the other wormhole (yes, i had all the necessary tech researched). another time i was re-inforcing a fleet at one planet. as it was building i went away and did other stuff, but the pips at the first planet stayed there the entire t
