Reply to Why cant we do an Eve mod? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

If people get permission from CCP, its not a problem. The Homeworld eve mod guys asked for permission and got it. Also CCP gave the Homeworld mod guys a set of guidelines to work in and also gave them High Quality Ship models. Thats some of of the most time consuming parts done for free. CCP will shut down mods that dont ask permission, since they are not following any guidelines. Ask first, get the guidelines then move forward within the guidelines so you dont make a eve mod t

Reply to Speed - Slower gams and faster games wanted. in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Yea no worries - but insted of Slow/fast etc, just have a drag bar so we can change speed to crazy levels. I can see a amazing game out of a 10x slower research but 10x faster mineral game - more focus on smaller units and less quality units etc, while waiting for research to catch up. More Epic fights and someone with a 2nd capital ship suddenly becomes really scary! The game is great, just a simple drag bar is what we would like to see :)

Speed - Slower gams and faster games wanted. in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I enjoy long games. Sometimes, depending on who I could play with, I might want a longer gang or perhaps a shorter (i.e 1-2 hour) game. So I was thinking, How would Stardock feel to change the resource and research meter from fast to a drag style bar that goes from 100x slower than normal to 100x faster? And the same for research? That would let players choose the pase that suits them. Perhaps some players might like fast resources and seriously slow researsh so they have lots

Reply to General Warfare Strategy in Strategy Sins Forums

Simple fix to be honest. Change the resource speed option. From 10x slower to 10x faster. Let the players pick the resource speed. Even 50x either way. How will this fix? Simple. People dont have 14 hours to blast at every game on a unique stratagy that might not work. Thats why they make a blob and charge it, quiting if their blob dies. The game is artifically slow due to slow resources. More resources = players can gain confidence in fast resource maps to tr

Reply to Pirates: The Worst (or Best) Part of the Game? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Some maps have pirates. If you make your own map, you can remove pirates. Pirates add a lot to stratagy. They are good to keep econnomic player in the game. Lets face it, economic players wont have strong fleets, but they can bribe pirates to work for them. This means that the military tree and the ecomonic/industry tree are important. Pirates act as the "RTS" balance. Computer too strong? Well, pirates will act as a speed bump. Its a new concept to a RTS but SOASE pro

Reply to Couple of questions on Interface in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]normally speaking, i'm pretty sure all ships (except maybe colony?) all auto attack by default, and they 'normally' are set by default to automatically group into fleets (i've caught couple that weren't and had to set them myself) however you have to manually select control groups... even newly built ships set to rally on another ship with its own control group, argh argh argh... i'm not sure what you mean by auto-build though.

Hi, Firstly, how can I set it that all ships I build are on auto-attack and auto-group? Secondly, how can I set it that ships auto-build if I have resources?

Reply to Late but important Pre-Order Question in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Serials should match. Thats how they did it in the past. I think the serial is not in the box, rather it is in the recipt that comes with box. Also you can use e-mail to track serial back anytime from website so its a win win situation.

Reply to Do I need to buy 2 copies? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]One copy of the game is good for 2 installs for LAN games, but if you and your friend want to play online, you'll need unique keys. It sounds from your post that the two machines are networked, so if you stick to LANing you'll be fine with one copy. [/quote] Thanks. yes the machines are networked and thanks for clarifying this for me.

Do I need to buy 2 copies? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

As per title, I have pre-ordered a copy of sins of a solar empire. Very rarely, and by that I mean perhaps once every few months or so, I may want to play a 2 player with a friend and hence, install the game on a second machine I have at home and run a 2 player between them. I used to do this with some old blizzard games such as Starcraft, which had a spawn instalation option for this purpose. I thought it was a good marketing system as my friend end up buying Starcraft and every blizzard game s

Long story short, this game is great, and I will always play it singleplayer. However, I play HOMM 3 a lot in hotseat mode, so and I would love to play galciv2 in Hotseat mode. Hence this game really needs a hotseat mode to make it from great to excellent.

Reply to Non-Violence In Palestine in International JoeUser Forums

The trouble is, a non-Violent solution will never work if the opponent see's you as less than human. It is sad that the 'radical' Israelies still beleive that Arabs are decended from the 'Love Child' of Abraham with a Whore, and that the Jews are decended from the 'Marrage' of Abraham. Their will never be peace as long as these attitudes exist. I mean, in 1940's Germany, what would non-Violent solutions to the evil death camps acheive?

Nobody has a problem waiting.... What is being asked by the original poster was an acknowlegment of what the game is/will be available. I.E if Stardock were to say "Game 'x' will be available on 12 Sept" or "Surprise Game available on 28th Sept" then nobody would have any problems with that. I am assuming that "Surprise Game available 30th Sept". Expect the worst and hope for the best <img src="http

It is my luck that Games I end up purchasing games just over a week prior to them becoming available. Guess what I am buying today? Kohan!
