I have never seen a PQ 1,2, or 3 planet. Only PQ0 or PQ4 and up. I didn't know they existed. [quote who="MottiKhan" reply="3" id="2185200"]I haven't seen the habitable planet problem either. Are you counting those planets that are habitable, but not immediately colonizable like Toxic or Radiated planets? Those are still counted as habitable, but you need the technology in order to colonize them. Also, there might be a lot of PQ1and PQ2

Thank you so very much. Unchecking "Use Enhanced Ship Rendering" has made the game playable. I appreciate your help.[/quote] glad I could help :)

Piratebay never went down. This is a verdict for show, it will have no effect on torrents.
probably because when you keep choosing evil, yes you get a bonus, but also all the other races view you negatively and are more likely to attack you. so choose good for a penalty, or evil for a bonus and a potential war. :)
Hello, it seems like every time I bribe a couple of races to go to war, they never actively do it. They don't launch ships, sometimes fleets fly right by each other without attacking. What does it take to get races to actively fight each other? To launch fleets and fly them to the others territory and really start attacking? Am I missing something? Thanks :)

[quote who="Sokar468" reply="11" id="2163373"]Definitely get Entrenchment. There is no reason not to play it, and $10 is a steal. I don't play multiplayer because I like the pace of playing large maps against many AI opponents. In multiplayer, the goal seems to kill your opponent as quickly as possible, which is not why I play Sins. I would probably only play Sins MP with friends in the same room, a la LAN party or something.[/qu
What if you broke your fleet into two fleets, a decoy fleet and a main fleet. Phase jump the decoy fleet, and then maybe 1 minute later, send in the main fleet. He'd probably blow his MB load at your decoys and then the cavalry would arrive to clean house. **I know this is Sins noob 101 tactics here...I'm new to the game** :)

Best $10 I ever spent. Get it! It adds really cool backgrounds as well as the new units.
[quote who="Vespidiant" reply="10" id="2161855"]ok that didnt work how do I actually upload photos without it just showing a blank space? [/quote] do you have the images hosted on a website somewhere?
I kinda like this one too. Kol battleship, autocannons blazing, with another off to the right, nuking an asteroid. Teamwork!
Here's a couple from my last game...I'm in love with starbases, note the burning hunks of Vasari capital ships in the last pic. :) <img src="http://rickshanahan.smugmug.com/g

[quote who="Ashain" reply="6" id="2158111"] No i'm pretty sure you will have to have entrenchment to be able to have SB/mines etc. But if you have both micros i'm fairly certain they will work together, it's been said somewhere else I believe.[/quote] That's what I mean, kind of. Like, if I buy all three expansions, will I be able to use all the features in one game...or will I have three different icons on my desktop that I have to run individual
[quote who="JuleTron" reply="4" id="2157051"] I know that Sins is primarily a war game, but I would like sometimes to play a more diplomacy centered game, at least with some of the AI's in the game. Thats what the second micro-expansion is all about: diplomacy.[/quote] Ah yes, of course. :) will these micro expansions contain all of the features of the previous ones...? Like, will the Diplomacy expansion have starbases and mines?
I know that Sins is primarily a war game, but I would like sometimes to play a more diplomacy centered game, at least with some of the AI's in the game. So I wish there were three buttons to set three different 'states' for all your ships. state 1 would be normal, attack everything you see. But I'd also like two other options, state 2 would be to close in, but not fire unless fired upon, and state 3 would completely ignore other ships. Sometimes
This is a strange problem indeed. When I play Sins, and then quit the game, it kills my PC's sound completely. It only comes back after a reboot. I didn't realize at first that this problem only occurred while playing Sins, at first I thought it was a random sound problem. But after much testing, I have narrowed it down to happening only after I quit Sins. The problem happens both when I use my Yamaha sound card, and also the on-board sound

I believe in Entrenchment they changed the cobalt voice, and possibly others. The cobalt is definitely different.
I'm right there with ya, old man. :) [quote who="IztokBitenc" reply="2" id="2147135"]Hi! Solution -- don't be a wuss, and come play Sins in online multiplayer (aka the real Sins game) against live human opponents. I watched some games of "pro" players. I really haven't got the impression they're that good... ... until I ran a small 20-planets all-normal game vs. one unfair AI, but with one limitation: WITHOUT PRESSING A PAUSE
I have to say that the notion of playing against "challenging human opponents" doesn't appeal to me at all, because most of the time, these "challenging human opponents" are obnoxious, they quit the game when things don't go their way, they exploit weaknesses in the game to their ends and in general just aren't fun to play against. I'd take really good AI--ala galciv2 or sins--over a human opponent any day. Then I can play slowly at my own pace...I can play for an hour, then pause

Does this work with Entrenchment 1.02? [quote who="Simmyaz" reply="5" id="2093098"] Quoting Annatar11, reply 19Alright, here's the download for the Entrenchment version of the mod. In theory, it should also work for Vanilla Sins 1.15 but I have not had the time to test it. Installation of the mod is slightly different. Every patch version now creates its own mod folder. If you have Entrenchment 1.01 (and you should), and you don't see the "Mods-Entrenchm
Someone brought up real life carriers...well, those ships are covered in AA guns to protect from bombing runs. So looking at it that way, maybe they should have light AA. maybe 2 guns instead of the flak frigates 4. Not to go attack with, just for defending from fighters. **I think carriers should have Novalith Cannons mounted on them** :P
Ok guys, if people have fun doing this maybe it can be pinned. Post your coolest screenshots. I have a couple at home I'll throw up after work. Thanks all!
Please see the subject. Is there one? And if not, why? I think that would be cool... :)
