Thanks Madriel! I'll give it a go as soon as possible! You rock for trying to help :)

Option to un-nerf the Vasari Rebels? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It's most likely an old whine, but is there a way to remove the requirement to phase jump Vasari Rebels' starbases to an enemy's well? I'm not playing this game in multiplayer at all, and I like the slow pace of playing a long Sins game against the AI over a weekend. Since I'm not much of an RTS player and hate rushes with a vengeance, I liked either turtling-up with the TEC Loyalists or go for the late game sweep up as the Vasari Rebels, but now they are completel

Reply to I hope the new ship builder is more functional than just choosing weapon types and armor in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I really agree with this notion. Special weapons and components are definitely in order this time around. I think my go-to model for ship customization would lean more towards MoO2 and Ascendancy rather than Stardrive, which made things a tad too micromanage-y. Anyway, the ship customization in GC2 was extremely superficial, IMO, to a point that I really preferred to let the AI handle it for me and ignore this feature in the game altogether, which is a shame.

Reply to Will need to show a lot more before I preorder in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I used to be a die hard fan of SD since the original GalCiv, but after Elemental/Fallen Enchantress which I really didn't enjoy (sue me), I think I have to agree with the OP and will need a bit more convincing. I'll just wait for more hard data, especially on ship customization and battles, as this was a really low point of GC2, IMO, which mainly offered superficial visual customization.

Reply to False alarm, not a bug in Technical Sins Forums

Seleuceia , it seems you nailed it on your second guess - I queued up logistic slots on the conquered planets and started building media hubs to negate the enemy's culture and halfway through, I foolishly seem to have changed my mind, un-queued the logistic slots and queued up different planetary slots, instead, on 2 different newly conquered planets which c

False alarm, not a bug in Technical Sins Forums

Edit: found out to be a false alarm and not a bug after all. Original post: I think this is an old bug, as I remember I had this issue in previous builds, but still worth mentioning: I'm playing a huge map, clearing out the AI one by one, when suddenly I can't build any orbital structures in the conquered planets. The construction ships cruise to the build location and then either the build bar doesn't move at all, or the construction ships just leave the orbital b

Will you blind fanboys stop avidly defending every little thing this company does? "Oh, it's their right to do it! You're not entitled to be a beta tester! If a Stardock/Ironclad's employee runs over a cat it means the cat is to blame!" If you'll look on my profile you'll notice that I'm a loyal fan for quite a while (back since 2003, and even before that), but this blatant sycophancy makes me cringe every single time. It is you guys that need to c

Yeah, I kinda knew this will lead to the multiplayer guys flying off the handle, so it really was my fault. Sorry for the obvious flame bait, but I just didn't like Wrath89's comment on blaming Ironclad/Stardock for something that clearly is the behavior of their fanbase. I think -Ue_Carbon explained my point of view perfectly. Thanks :) Honestly, without meaning to offend any further, Dirty, your...shall we say..energetic? behavior is exactly why you seem to

Navy, eh? Was my second choice, but due to the age of picture it was very hard to tell.

Oh! It's a greeting. It literally means: 'A good year' in Hebrew: Shana = Year Tova = Good (female tense, there's a difference between male and female in Hebrew). When said as a greeting to someone, its meaning turns to: '(may you have a) happy new year'.

Shana Tova! May it be true in our lifetime :) P.S: the verse sounds quite unnatural in English as it's much better in Biblical Hebrew, but its meaning is just as strong.

Reply to Pre-order Discount for Sins: Rebellion Ends this Month in Sins News Sins Forums

Got a bit of a problem - I got the discount when I pre-ordered a few months ago, but my credit card got cancelled accidently by the credit company and I received a new credit card, instead. Since my original payment method is no longer valid, what can I do? How can I update my payment method for a pre-order? Or will it simply ask me for a different payment method when the expansion will be released? Or better yet - should I cancel my preorder and preorder again using my new credit car

Reply to Relationships question in Strategy Sins Forums

kyecoo, you can't break an alliance between two other factions. The 'Diplomacy' part is really not that fully fleshed out in this game. Look at Seven Kingdoms 1 or 2 for a real example on a diplomacy model in RTS games.

It's not a question of money, it's a question of priorities. I prefer gaming laptops over a new furniture or a bigger screen TV, for example.

Reply to Relationships question in Strategy Sins Forums

The best advice I can give you is: Speak softly and carry a big stick. Like most (if not all) 4X strategy games, diplomacy is only as good as your defenses. These are just some basic principals, if you already know how to play the game just ignore them and skip to the last paragraph: research starbases, build one in every colony, keep your outer-rim colonies (the ones closer to your enemy) literally bristled with defenses and fully-upgraded starbases with hull, armor a

Reply to ATI Mobility Radeon HD5650- Good for Gaming? in Personal Computing Sins Forums

Well, I disagree. Gaming laptops are strong enough to run games on full graphics these days, have enough heat-dissipation to handle long gaming sessions, have enough hard-drive space these days, and their memory-capacity is quite high (8GB is the standard these days for decent gaming laptops). Plus, they don't cost you an arm and a leg like they used to as well, as they now cost between $1000 and $2000 USD for an extremely decent gaming laptop that will keep on staying decent even

There's really no need to apologize, Sethfc, it can actually work as a nice workaround! :) I think I'll use it as a last resort only, because this feels a bit like cheating, but it is still very much appreciated! Thanks! cwg009 and Simsum, thanks alot for the tips! Regarding the hoarding of resources, and against my nature, I tried using them as much as I could, but then I got into some money problems because I over spent on soldiers, silly me :) I'
