Reply to A way to fight piracy other than DRM. in Everything Else Sins Forums

You have to take into account the fact that not everything on these sites is illegal to begin with. Not all torrents contain pirated material. And to be blunt, you'll never stop pirate torrents from being accessed. It's far easier to use a DRM scheme than to shut down access to pirated material.

What's a few scouts compared to losing a planet, or giving the Vasari a backdoor jump node? (If your using Entrencment, the Kostura cannon creates a jump node at the well that was hit by it.)

[quote who="MindsEye" reply="10" id="2125424"]How bout lower its slot count to 7. Idea is the engines take up a slot(kinda like it should have anyway). Then the other races who already lose a spot to aux gov just to defend the planet wont be AS far behind in usefulness.[/quote] Why? The Advent and TEC SBs have mass killing abilities that the Vasari one doesn't. Its ability to move negates that. The Vasari SB is fine as is.

Sometimes real-time virus scanners can cause this. (At least, this was always the case on my end) Disabling the real time scanner before downloading may fix your problem. Just don't forget to turn it back on.

Reply to Star Wars Rebellion in Everything Else Sins Forums

Personally I really liked the mission system the game had. You could send out your heroes on espionage, sabatage, recons, uprisings etc. Your characters also went of on scripted events (stuff that happened in the movies), which would usually confer them bonuses (Like Luke going to Dagobah to train with Yoda, he'd come back with a higher rank). I also liked how you could engage your enemies in covert and overt warfare. Sadly, I lost the CD long ago, at the sametime I lo
