I use multiple fleets based on unit type; a long range frigate and flak frigate fleet commanded by a colony capital ship, a light frigate and defensive support cruiser and/or offensive support cruiser fleet commanded by a support capital ship(s), a heavy cruiser, flak frigate, and offensive support cruiser fleet commanded by a battleship(s), a siege frigate and anti-structure cruiser fleet commanded by a heavy assault capital ship(s) and a colony capital ship (TEC Akkan Battlecruiser), a carr

Reply to End of the Space Shuttle Program in Personal Computing Sins Forums

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="55" id="2966550"]The Shuttle was originally planned to be retired in 2010, and it was under Obama's administration that it was extended to 2011.[/quote] One year isn't an extension, its camouflage for the slow dismantlement of NASA, and the turn over of space to private industry and international "cooperation", which means the US will just fall further behind.

Exactly, they couldn't even bother to make a viable replacement before they let STS end! I don't want to see Orion ever leave the ground, since it is little more than a rehash of 50 year old technology.

My family and I must have been one of the very few people to go to a Gateway store, where my dad put in the order for the computer I am using now, while my brother and I played the Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast demo which caused us to get the full version as our first PC game.

Obama doesn't want to fund Project Orion, that is clearly striking down something. Obama claims to want to make the United States a leader in science and technology, but is willing to let the Space Shuttle program die without a replacement, thereby forcing us to rely on the Russians to get to the ISS.

Reply to Brilliant sci-fi shows i missed somehow in Movies & TV & Books Sins Forums

SGU angered a lot of diehard Stargate fans, including me, because it just didn't feel like Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, more like Battlestar Galactica re-imagined with more planets, and with SGU being canceled, what the fans really wanted to see, Stargate: Extinction and Stargate: Revolution, got shelved indefinitely! Eureka, Warehouse 13, and Sanctuary are the last good Sci-Fi channel shows left, though Alphas does look good. On a side note, the Fox executives that had the

Reply to Patches and other questions in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Vanilla is the base game. Entrenchment adds many defensive enhancements, and Diplomacy adds on top of the Entrenchment additions, changes to the diplomacy system. Trinity is just SoaSE with Entrenchment and Diplomacy packaged together. The games are patched separately through Impulse. TEC are definitely the best faction for learning how to play and Point Blank is a good scenario for beginners. The best opening capital ship depends on the distance from the enemy, if you

So factions names, the specific ones for each race can't be changed, is that what your trying to do? I haven't the slightest idea to do this. Asfaloth, Glorfindel's horse, now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time.

Reply to "Star Wars - Requiem" mod for Entrenchment and Diplomacy 1.34 (Official V. 3.5 released) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Something very weird was at work during the development of EaW, never have I seen so many new ships, starbases, vehicles, and structures (Delvin Constructs and their entire product line was created from scratch) for a game in such a well established universe (Mandal Hypernautics was created when MandalMotors has been around for many years). I really hope that we get an explanation some day on what happened.

[quote who="NHD-151" reply="91" id="2959099"]While you're suggestions are better than fanon, both of those ships really only appeared in Star Wars: Rebellion. We ran into the same problem with Empire at War only ships, and while we did use some of them, it was typically only for minor roles like scout and siege frigates that didn't have good equivalent in the Star Wars universe anyways. The Bothan Assault Cruiser is has a far bigger presence in the expanded universe, so I'm willin

Those are indeed the only notable Calamari ships from the Galactic Civil War era. The MC40 and the MC30 aren't really Star Cruisers, but I just mentioned them, because they are the only other notable Calamari ships from the contemporary GCW. Ah, the Bothan Assault Cruiser is a rather late appearing ship from the GCW. The Dauntless -class cruiser, the Liberator -class cruiser, or some Clone Wars-vintage CIS ships are better choices for the contemporary GCW.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="84" id="2958659"]Further, after some research I think the MC 75 is a fan made design for that mod and is not a canon star wars ship. Given the choice, I'd rather focus on acquiring meshes from ships in the movies or from expanded universe, especially as we are mostly covered for combat ships (though this may change with Rebellion).[/quote] I could have told you the MC75 was fanon. The most notable canon Mon Calamari Star Cruisers are the MC80 Home One-
