It really isn't a money issue at all. Up to this point, no character in the Sins universe has been animated yet. That is something we are saving for future releases. We are simply trying to keep the art

there is a reason ironclad/stardock is doing giant space battle games and such... cool (nerdy) people suck at drawing people, but draw awsome weapons of war... all of the stuff was preety much the same style... look how many kol battleship copies and cobalt copies there were in the scene with the starbase... its allthe same style... but drawing shippies with straight lines is much eaiser than people. although... the vasari did look slightly more... i dont know... wierder?

Reply to [Help Request] Understanding 1v1 Lums vs Assailants in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The devs have some uber spreadsheet of balancing... I would like to say... "please share!"... because that would be freaking awsome to see the entire game-theory-balancing-spreadsheet-of-professionals-of-uber-leet-ness... and it would shed a gigantic beam of light on the the illuminator (*snicker*) issue (and every thing else the community whines about) but i dont think it would happen...

I like the scene where the hummie is yelling at the shrugging/disgusted vasari, who prolly just cant stand the sight of the inferiors... and then there is this space witch, who is observing... and thinking... prolly something along the lines of... "we'll keeeeel you alllll" edit: 0_o the space witch is FREAKING GLOWING... if anyone needed any more proof that the advent are evil... THERE YOU HAVE IT.

Reply to Is it possible to be a watcher of multiplayer games of Sins? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Unfortunatly, unless your playing one of a few very special player made maps with watcher spots, the answer is no... and no pug match is ever played on a galaxy forge map... preety much ever. there are many replays of talented players on these forums you can download and watch, and you can learn from them, but you cant talk to them (for obvious reasons). look under the multiplayer section and stratigy section for these sort of threads. I hope that kinda an

Reply to Capital Ship flagships in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

which every capital ship is at the highest level is automaticly given the flagship tag... it does nothing, except cosmetics. so... if you have a lv 6 and a lv 7,.... the lv 7 would be the flag ship... but if that lv 6 gets to lv 7, then you dont have a flag ship anymore.

need help testing new map idea. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

ok, now I realize this is not really a mod thing... but I had an idea.. and so I wanted to see what the community thought about it.... but its kinda does the same thing as a mod , cause it creates very different game (hopefully) SO... basicly... I wanted to create a set of maps that might be semi-realistic... and may be able to bring "multi-star" maps to multiplayer... and if it works out ok... maybe i can make a few and stick them in that community map pack thing (if i manage

OMG!!! the ai DOES actually attack the pirate base!!!!111 in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

so... i was testing a map... a 1v1 map, against an unfair ai... and 3 pirate bases. the game started. I promptly did nothing. I did nothing for most of the game... eventually the pirates kill my homewold, and i lose. I keep watching... speed set to x8... to see how the ai colonize my unconventional map and so forth. the ai colonizes preety much every planet... the last of which they colonize by sending about 500 fleet supply worth of ships

darvin is right. I was wondering if there was some something in that text file that connects the stars but only allows those connections to be used after long ranged jumps is researched... and then remove most of those connections. i want to be able to make so in order to go to star c from star a, you have to go though star b, instead of jumping straight to c. just like in order to go from planet a to planet c you have to go through planet b first. the problem with map

Hey, i had a cool idea... and i was wondering if it was possible. I know the .galaxy files are text files... but... Is it possible to deconnect all the stars? or have it so certain stars can only connect to certain other stars? what i want to try to do is create a map where... well... take a random map. replace all the planets with stars. put groups of planets around those stars. so... the planets have phase lanes

They called it an FTL drive because it was a "faster than light" (like, hyperdrive) except they did not know what the hell to call it yet... since it wasnt a hyperspace drive... or at least we dont think it was a hyperspace drive... we dont know.
