[quote who="Star Dragon" reply="39" id="2398052"]If I could make a simple, humble request: assuming this is the opening of Diplomacy, please don't automatically uncheck the "play video" button every time you open up the game. I enjoy these and they help me get more immersed when I've been away from the game for a little while.[/quote] Seconded, I wish the opening cinematic would play each time the game is started, without having to check the box each time

Banned for approving of greed. Money is cool, and it is good to have property, but people are more important than money.

BTW, I'm running a game of the september 30th updated Entrenchment. Works pretty good as long as you use Protevs to colonize and not the Akkans (when playing TEC anyway, haven't tried the others on this update.)

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

The first game of Sins I played, a 1 vs 1 against the Vasari with them as an easy economist, they also attacked the pirate base. It was on a random small map. I was separated from their sector of the solar system by the pirates. It was after about 12 hours of playing though, while I was still figuring everything out.

[quote who="MasonOfSparta" reply="33" id="2394644"]I'm not saying it's an impossible technology, once you can control systems that let you move at relativistic speeds launching missiles into a ship, or a planet, or a moon, or just some dude floating in space probably isn't terribly hard. I'm just saying I can understand why the initial design didn't take ground based defenses into consideration. This may be something we could look into for the future, but for now diplomatic additions are prob

Reply to problems with "my" asteroids. in Technical Sins Forums

I just decided to continue my game I started after the last update and try a different method out. Normally I use the Akkan to conquer and colonize a planetary system, but I decided to use the Protev to colonize rather than the Akkan. When using the Protev, at least so far for the last two planets, none of the resource asteroids have been made unusable. I don't know if all will get the same results, but try using Protevs for colonization instead of the Akkan.

Reply to [Suggestion] ground to space weapons in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

[quote who="MasonOfSparta" reply="8" id="2393614"]I could imagine a future where space bourne weapons are the natural defense against space bourne threats. I believe that's how it is in universes like Halo, for example. I imagine the trip through the atmosphere alone would cause a lot of logistical problems for ground based weaponry, though I'm no ballistics expert.[/quote] There was a guy who designed a supercannon which could launch shells, or other payload, into orbi

Would be nice to be able to set up battles and pick the units you want. Perhaps have it contained in a single gravity well so the A.I. can't run away.

Reply to I can't find my screenshots. in Technical Sins Forums

The print screen button basically puts the image of your screen on a clipboard. Not sure of the exact details though. I use a program called GIMP, the gnu image manipulation program, set the pixel width and height to that of the the game, and paste using Ctrl+V. IDK if the computer has a folder for printscreen though. In Glory Of The Roman Empire there was a folder provided by the game, but that was also using its "take snapshot" function and not the built-in function o

Reply to Bounty Hunters in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="ice27828" reply="1" id="2392680"]Well, technically speaking the Tec race already has them...but you need like level teir 8 to research them[/quote] Yes, that causes a few number of rebels to happen upon enemy gravity wells, like said above it is a whimpy number of pirates sent at random basically. Having mercenary defenders is not quite the same as having mercenaries or rebels which go on the offense.

Bounty Hunters in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Though this is basically taking an idea from StarHunter 2300, I think it would be interesting if there were bounty hunters to help as a payable defense. They could cost less than the pirates and be on call rather than on a ten minute time limit. They wouldn't have as large a fleet as the pirates, but perhaps they could have more diversity in fleet depending on affordibility. Such as the least expensive bounty hunters would have frigates, more expensive would have crusiers, and the most expens

Reply to problems with "my" asteroids. in Technical Sins Forums

When I played today, it was one asteroid per gravity which was not able to be used. I thought that I may be some new feature, such as the civilians having their own mining asteroid... however it is a bug and not a feature. If such a type of thing were to be made into a feature, then possibly there should be a tax levied for civilian use of space objects, or something of the sort, so that there could be extra income if you needed it by leasing out an asteroid or a refine

Reply to Last Update For Entrenchment (9/30/2009) in Technical Sins Forums

Tried playing one of the regular SOASE saved games on Entrenchment. Though it no longer says "invalid save file" like it used to, it wouldn't load either and the popup saying "checksum" occured. Oh well. I notice in the updated version that the indigenous populations now have stronger fleets and resource asteroids seem to be taken away from being built upon or used as soon as a planet is colonized.

Reply to Last Update For Entrenchment (9/30/2009) in Technical Sins Forums

Ah, well that would be something that could be fixed then. The regular SOASE saved games are no longer invalid after the last update, and that would be on Entrenchment where they are no longer invalid. So, if the saved games for the regular SOASE can be made valid for the Entrenchment SOASE, then so can the saved games for Entrenchement on Entrenchment. I wasn't finished with my last game when I did the update... I suppose I should have updated it after the game is done

Last Update For Entrenchment (9/30/2009) in Technical Sins Forums

Yesterday afternoon, I updated Sins Of A Solar Empire and Sins Of A Solar Empire Entrenchment using the Impulse system. Previously, the saved games from the regular SOASE were listed as "invalid save file" on Entrenchment, but after the update they are no longer invalid. However, now the saved games from the Entrenchment micro are listed as "invalid save file" on SOASE Entrechment. I hope the next update may correct this. -Ben

if Well, if the voltage is small, then the current would be small as well. In the game though, I wonder what may happen if what the Vasari are fleeing from meet up with the TEC or Advent.
