[quote who="lachlanp" reply="47" id="3086883"]I'm suprised noone has mentioned it yet but multiple starbases in a single gravity well, defeniatly sounds like a TEC Loyalist stratagy? how would people have them? grouped by each other to maximise the firepower, give them some chance against a titan or at each phase lane?[/quote]I would probably put them right besides each other, so they can boost each other with different abilities. I am really excited about the TEC Loyalists so far, I must

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="41" id="3086820"]The Steam client will be required for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion for initial install, updates and Internet multiplayer, regardless of purchase location. You can choose to play in offline mode via the Steam client after initial install, though ICO features and achievements will no longer be available.[/quote]Thanks Yarlen for clearing this up.

I'm sure we are all excited about this, but no need to necro this ancient thread for it. Better post it at the thread that discusses the latest GameSpy interview (even though I mentioned it there already) [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="Rebell44" reply="29" id="3086100"]You are wrong, look at Crusader Kings 2 (recent release by Paradox) - its Steamworks game, but it doesnt need Steam to be running to play that game.[/quote]Now I would really like to see some unquestionable proof about Sins being similarly playable without Steam running in the background as this game you keep referring to.

Hmmm. I already use Steam for some other multiplayer game I bought quite recently. So I am stuck with their client anyway. It is true that there is a lot of advertising, but I haven't experienced any problems really. I do agree with the people that don't use Steam that it sucks that they are now being forced into using it if they want to play Rebellion.

Some thoughts on the new interview: [quote]Both sub-factions share all the ships and abilities from Sins, plus a new capital ship that launches pods full of marines to board and capture other ships or destroy them from within[/quote]Well it looks like the ship boarding stuff so many people requested is going to be implemented after all. Don't know if I should be happy about this or not. I will be, as long as you will not be able to capture Capital ships. [qu

The only benefit I see about using Steam is the fact that they have a gigantic player base, so this means there is probably going to be a crapload of people that will play Rebellion online. I do hope that if it becomes a Steam exclusive game, a permanent internet connecion won't be required in order to be able to play. I really hate it when a permanent internet connection is required even when you want to play in single player mode...

Bit of a necro post but whatever. Where the hell did you find that screenshot? It looks awesome! [e digicons]:(O[/e] I do not think that it is able to change it's shape btw. The disign is most likely altered dramatically. EDIT: Found the location of more Rebellion screenshots: http://uk.media.pc.gamespy.com/media/126/126556/imgs_1.html I recommend checking it out!

[quote who="Mew1" reply="5" id="3085406"]I think it is strange that I can't choose 1280x720 resolution. I can't even click Menu exit button. And also button to close the statistics screen also unavailable in the end of game.[/quote]It is true that windowed mode is not supported in Sins. Maybe they will add it in Rebellion though. The fact that you don't have a lot of supported resolutions is solely because your monitor does not support them though. I play Sins on 1440 x 90

Semaz, all you seem care about is new pieces of code that you can exploit in order to create new mods for this game... The dev's chose this direction because the game testers (whom are presumably people who have never played Sins before), thought it was too difficult to understand when they had to research a subfaction during the game instead of at the start of a new game. I suppose Rebellion is primarily designed to attract people that have never played Sins before to t

[quote who="Carbon016" reply="2" id="3085069"]are you some sort of unhelpful wikipedia posting bot or something [/quote]It is just that I did not quite understand what this thread is about. I thought the poster did not quite understand which resolution is best for him to use, so all I stated was that supported resolutions depend on which monitor you use. So if you use a very small monitor you can probably not play Sins on a high resolution. On bigger monitors, you can cause the game to r

[quote who="sareth01" reply="8" id="3084997"]Developers should be designing for mass appeal to maintain the trust that their buyers have in them. Poorly designed ships really break down this trust and make it hard to take the development team seriously.[/quote]Since you are the first person I see complaining about this Advent titan it probably means the designers did actually hit it with that 'floating vagina' of yours...

Screen resolution depends solely on which kind of monitor you use. On some monitors, certain resolutions are not supported and will cause you to have black borders around your game window.
