Reply to 2- How to decide What in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

wow... arrogant much? you must have one hell of a complex, because it seems to me like you are challenging everyone and no one about how good your modding skill is. personally, i dont have the patience, time or skill to mod, even though i would love the ability to play around with coding like you guys do. but seriously, there is NO reason whatsoever, to open a thread with "Get something in your thick heads, right now; You are no match for my modding proficiency" <

Random minelaying technique puts mines in silly places.... in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

right, so im playing a few games of Sins, and not alot of the time, but enough to be irritating, i find mines deploying in funny locations. For instance, i find Advent homing mines located in the center of planets, or practically touching the surface of a sun, well out of range for anything to destroy it. TEC mines will also deploy funny. ill click on the edge of the well, and 9/10 mines will deploy within the circle, but 1 will deploy on the other side of the GW, well outside

Should Assault Cruisers (i.e. Orgov or Starfish) have ship-to-ship weapons? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

I was just thinking about it, apparently, the Ogrov missiles and Starfish plasma do not do damage against ships, only structures/starbases. Im thinking maybe they need a small weapon, a laser or something. After all, Seige Frigates have small ship-to-ship weapons, it just makes Assault Cruisers easier to integrate into fleets... thoughts?

Reply to Sins needs a music selector! in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

i just followed that link provided by Tamren, it was saying something about installing bonus pack v1.05 but i thought, what the hell, if it downgrades ill just update again via impulse but then i logged in and everything and it said file not found? whats it supposed to do/be Tamren? anyway, in relation to the topic, a music selector would be nice, but i think Sins dynamic music player would prevent choosing your own music. that is, if you zoom into a GW

Reply to Hard Drive CRASH Problems RE installing game PLS HELP! in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

what happens is the add/remove programs function is simply an easy way to access the uninstall that comes with the game, it can uninstall it by itself, so, if the uninstall file itself is gone, then add/remove cant remove it, but it still thinks the game is installed. you need to go into your registry and edit some files, namely the ones that make add/remove programs think Sins is still installed, but i would be VERY CAREFUL because if you delete the wrong thing you can screw up your computer

Reply to SoaSE: Escalation - A combat expansion (now with a story!) in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

[quote who="Tamren" reply="24" id="2184576"]You are mixing names there. Gauss guns use magnets to accelerate objects down a tube. Railguns use a current that jumps between two rails to create opposing magnetic fields that propel objects along a firing track. I think its called "Lorentz force" but my spelling might be off on that. Literally speaking a "mass driver" is any device that drives mass. Even my foot would qualify. But in Sci-fi it generally refers to one of the above.<br /

Yes, I understand the reply you wrote in connection with the events bar in the lower corner and how a player can miss info. Thats why I suggested that it be a screen centered popup window. "Hostile Forces have entered orbit around Planet _______" Would you like to send forces to intercept them?

Reply to Troop Transport Frigates or vessles (mabey idea for 3 expansion) in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

this idea has been batted around before, both the concept of other forms of planet capture and this one in particular. there are a number of factors to consider here, does it fit in with the bible (i mean the story bible, you can calm down now =P), does it add to the game and does the added complexity make it worthwhile, after all, if you're fighting for your life in space, do you really want to spend time monitoring planet capture, just because you opted to bring dropships inste

im fine with recorded replays splitting hairs, fine, point conceeded, thanks, yes, i dont know how the current system works, but that is irrelevant as a new system would have to be developed to counter the issues we are talking about. im not saying my way is the only way, it just sounded to me like you were arguing from the point of view thats its just to complicated to secure communications during live games, and that was my issue, cause i dont think it is. perhaps li

You also would need to block friend whispering in case the friend was in the game [/quote] and this cant be done? im not advocating one side or another, i just think if Stardock wanted to do it, it could be done, some lines of code and presto, instant pizza. no seriously, i realise the difference between whispering and broadcasting. there is

that sounds like cinematic mode, you can turn that off in-game by pressing the small video camera button located near the menu and zoom to cursor buttons (i know its in the general aread but im not sure exactly, refer to above post i guess) or you can go to menu options and switch it on/off in the effects or video tabs if all else fails, read the manual =) good luck

Reply to Bounty added after pirates are destroyed in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

[quote who="ilovedawkins" reply="3" id="2182442"] Quoting InfiniteVoid, reply 2 The correct name of that ability is Karmic Retribution. It applies 100/200 bounty on the person who killed the trade ship (depending on researched level) and I believe is also subject to the Persuasive Offers research subject (increases bounty purchased by 12.5%/25%). Yeah i guess there could have been confusion between that and all the other advent karma based abilitie

[quote who="Marinealver" reply="5" id="2181849"]I like the inteceptor idea only on one condition is that it has no capability to attack anything other than strike craft. Now however SINS in it's current selection of strike craft is not really needed since the only thing that has strike craft is capital ships and escort carriers. Even if you destroy the strike craft you need to kill the ships to keep them from comming. Another reason on why I end up bomber heavy in SINS. MY solution is instead

is that kind of communication limited to whispering? why not broadcast to everyone? sure, its interrupting, but how often will it come up? and even if it is the only way, fine, enable whispering to people outside the game, but not within the game....

[quote who="ReiverTA" reply="15" id="2177248"]Yes, and they will remain viable without needing the second or third expansions. My point is that they want each expansion to not require the previous ones, so there's no gurantee that someone that buys the third expansion will have the first.

i think your being a bit melodrammatic here... i wouldnt say a lack of a specator mode is a MAJOR thing holding back the game... but a spectator mode would be good... especially if people want to make movies in real time, the spectator could record while the player 'directs' as it was but to avert text spamming and spying, why dont the devs just disable comments from spectators, or at least prohibit them from whispering, that way anything they say can be seen by the other player, so,

It is used mostly by people with no friends that have SoaSE or people with no friends period. You also get to download a convenient program that updates the game with one click. I have a question though, why would I do this when the online player base for this game is a joke? I can log

Reply to Should Fleet Upkeep be proportional instead of a definite value? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

id like something to give the real feel of the scale of the game. i was thinking of this game M.A.X. where yu really have to think about logistics. for instance, buidling a power generator doesnt mean your base automatically gets power. you have to physically connect it to the other structures. anyway, one of the features of the game was when you research something, lets say larger ammo capacity, you would have to bring in all your units to a depot to refit them with the upgrade.
