Honestly I would pay good money to see an epic battle fought throughout the Universe. A real life Sins of a Solar Empire event. Of course, you may have no clue what I'm on about as I wandered over to joeuser from their forums. Call me crazy, but if the rapture were to happen, I'd like to remain behind and see what happens. For one, seeing would be believing, but despite all the phenomenal discoveries that have been cropping up in the past 100 years and especially as of l

That's a very excellent point, Jy. It's still quite a curiosity to me how one of such great power could create the vastness that we see and yet be compelled to pay attention to our tiny piece of the universe and concern one in the affairs of its inhabitants. Even more curious that the battle between heaven and hell will one day take place on Earth's soil. I tend to think about the word pride when I think that this place is that important to two omnipotent fo

The book has very real power simply in the notion that there is an all-knowing and all-powerful God that is watching each and every person 24-7. The fact that when bad things happen to good people its just God testing their faith, or the Lord working in mysterious ways, versus resounding reaffirmations that God exists when bad things happen to bad people is a testament to how well the book was written, from that standpoint no one can attack it on a logical level. No matter what happens, its a

I've often said that if things in the bible could be taken in metaphors then it would be easier to believe, but fundamentalist that insist that it took 6 days and that's that, without even considering what 6 days means to a God, especially one who is esentially timeless, make it very hard to accept from my view. From what little I know of it, Constantine of the Roman Empire is responsible for the largest single conversion of people to Christianity ever. Pe

Well personally I have been enjoying our talk, even if it isn't talking about the original post. At least it's vaguely relevant to the topic. I'd be interested in a source for the misdated 100 year old rock, after my post I went to find the actual error rate, and several refined methods, one in particular, Uranium-lead radiological dating, can have dating error rates as low as 2 million years in a 2.5 billion years. That's substantially better than I rem

That particular argument has made its rounds, but plate techtonics, earthquakes, and to a much lesser extent floods, are responsible for minor inconsistencies in the geological layers of the Earth. However, the overwhelming majority of fossils found have clearly been here long before the first fossils of humans arrived in the geological layer. Furthermore, while creation scientists have tried to disprove radiological dating as grossly inaccurate and therefor entirely unreliable. The simple fa

For starters, I don't believe matter has always been, the big bang THEORY (just pointing out I understand it is but a theory) pretty much states the universe started out as a single point of pure energy, which is very understandable. E=mc^2 is the one equation everyone should be familiar with and descrbes how matter and energy can be converted to each other. Interesting to note if you think about how much energy must have been contained in a singularity to generate the kind of numbers tha

That's what biology and archaeology are for, the point of the thread was how all the elements necessary for life to even begin got here. Perhaps you are unsure because it goes against your faith. I have no such reservations, when 4 separate fields of science can confirm what I believe (to include astronomy).

I wanted to ask if any others are more fascinated by our true origins: the stars? I find it far more fascinating than any tale told in a book of faith that Hydrogen, the most simple and abundant element in the entire universe, comes together under the force of gravity and forms a star, and through the power of fusion creates the most basic elements that make up the Earth and everything we see around us. Then those elements are brought to us when the star goes supernova and in that brief but v

I understand where you are coming from. For me, I like to experience the story for myself. I heart Halo for that and I heart Homeworld. Yeah, it was annoying figuring out the trick to beating stages, but in the end it was worth it. The Gardens of Kadesh and the Karos Graveyard were two of the most memorable play scenes for me.

I never seem to have this problem. I completely ignore other races in the beginning and eventually someone comes along and offers a trade alliance and I accept because, hey, money! Then some other race will annoy me by trying to attack my frontier worlds or launching FU bombs at my planets and I'll rustle up a space posse and go kick their ass and suddenly I'm getting likes and friend requests out the wazoo....which I begrudgingly accept. Truthfully I hate everyone but I have to give

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="10" id="3189293"]Any sort of ongoing tournament will take an honor system to acheieve no cheating--too many ways around to do it. You will definitely need a referee or campaign master to check save games for official victory determinations and communications, etc. [/quote] Yep, that's exactly what I thought, or at least someone that can watch what's going on, at least some abilities are graphically shown.

Yeah, after reading through some of the mod edumacation stuff it sounds like something modders just don't have real access to to do all the features I was thinking of.I really wanted to have variables that could be changed on the fly in-game at the startgame screen that granted a decent starting fleet and could grant resources or pre-occupied planets somehow. Kinda like the multiplayer on Homeworld where you can start out with resources and a fleet. I also realize getting people to all ge

Well you'll have to educate me since I don't play multiplayer myself, but I'm assuming one could make a map for 5 players and the referee could simply surrender and be able to spectate from there, or does it kick you back to the ICO menu?

Well then maybe he can just be a 3rd/5th player who immediately surrenders, that would work , right?

Reply to Tournaments / Mods in Sins Modding Sins Forums

That's one thing, but for a tournament that I feel would keep viewer interest it needs to be somehwhat simplistic and straightforward. Handful of planets, handful of ships. I was thinking give each person/team a capped amount of command/supply numbers and let them pre-choose their fleet before the match and thats what they start with on the homeworld, and they have the option to forgo some flee
