[quote who="Major Stress" reply="259" id="3319815"]It sounds like you are having sync issues.[/quote] I suppose drivers as the cause could be eliminated by doing some single player matches against a similar number of AIs as your MP games. You can check if your game is nearing the 2Gb limit by Alt-Tab'ing to the desktop and looking at the memory usage of Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion.exe in the Processes tab of taskmgr.exe, although you might have

I just pitted a Neshatan against a Poseidon full of Thunderbolts, and the fighter squads almost ate it alive (it retreated with 1.9% hull left) with no detectable impact on the fighters, despite being ordered to attack the squads instead of their carrier.

There's techs & pacts that grant hull bonuses to frigates, but not capital ships. So you can end up with frigates with stronger hulls than the pride of your fleet.

Minbari civil war started (series 4) after Proxima III & B5 split from the EA (series 3), but finished before Clark did himself in (near end of series 4). I suppose if you're reflecting this in the tech trees, you could have the Minbari civil war tech have larger negative effects than the EA's but the time taken to research 'Reform Grey council' is less than 'Restored EarthGov', ie Minbari Civil War: short & severe - society shattered by divisio

Looks like tech prerequisites for the EA Victory destroyer aren't quite right. The 'Project Victory' tech only requires 'ISA Membership', however the ship itself also requires 'Universal Understanding'. When the Victory is made into a titan (ATM it's still built at a normal cap ship factory), it may be nice for the titan foundry to be unlocked by the 'ISA Membership' tech.

I've think I've seen something similar to JackBauer too - a string of ships will pursue something well outside of the grav-well.

I don't think anyone claimed Sins always uses 2Gb of memory. However, like most 32-bit Windows applications, Sins can only use upto a maximum of 2Gb - if it attempts to allocate more memory than that it will crash. Hence the TSOP mod which has taken great care to minimize the amount of memory used by Sins. You have to be careful interpreting kernel metrics, especially memory usage - the numbers can often be a case of 'lies, damned lies & statistics'. [e digicon
