@Whiskey: what if I would buy a new comp with a gpu with 1gb memory, does it make SINS have fewer memory dumps? 2nd Q: could the devs introduce same patch as what has been done in the case of SupCom (so as to increase the limit from 2 to 3 gb)?
Could someone from Stardock tell us when they expect the forums to be back online. In addition, the download of Galciv2 and Dark Avatar from Impulse seem to be corrupt. I've downloaded both games today but they don't work when I move from starting up a game (e.g. which opponents) to loading the actual game screen (e.g the star map). Also the tutorials in Galciv2:DL are missing, which seems to be strange.
Sorry guys I don't fully get this. Is there a way to circumvent the 2gb limit on 32 bit systems or not?
Oops a double post, I thought the forums went boom again..
I am going to buy it
I will buy it. I have been active on the forums and the dev seems like a smart guy with a capable team of producing a very good game. Don't judge the game by the video's and screenshots though. It is mostly about gameplay, which seems to become great. Perhaps even better than Galciv2 (which was a bit too much micro management imo).
I just moved from vanilla to entrenchment and play multiplayer with entrenchment. I like the simplicity of the vanilla version though. In time, once I master entrenchment, I will move to diplomacy. I keep that now as a nice present for the future (although I have already bought it).
Strange that these repair cruisers differ so much between the various races
Is the AI really that bad? I thought that the hard AI was quite good, but perhaps it can still not compete with those who have played this game for more than 1000 hours or so.
Thanks for all the expert advise so far, very useful. The basic answer seems that you only upgrade if you are going to use it. This in turn depends on a lot of factors, but it seems not very useful to have a lot of ships (thereby hurting your economy) if you don't use them.
I"m new, but I hope to learn from playing with and against experienced players.
LoL, any news you could share with us?
[I say this a relative noob, but so far TEC only player] Dunov or Akkan, probably. Interesting discussion guys, quite tense sometimes, but with good lessons (didn't know that jumping costs 100 AM). It seems that you guys should play a game together and see who wins. My feeling is that the Kol could use some help from the devs. Do you know if they are even following these detailed strategy discussions? They don't really mingle in the discussion.
Just a thing I've been wondering about lately. The first two upgrades are quite logical, but then the third upgrade is really expensive and given that you always have one type of resource which is scarce, quite expensive in terms of what you lose in income when you do the upgrades (e.g. metal can become an important bottleneck). I hope the vets can help us with this difficult economic issue, which seems to be a trade off between economic and military power. BTW very good concept: devs thanks
What's not to love about the Hoshikos? I haven't really played the other factions, do they also have repair cruisers?
Nice map, quite some planets in one system (realistic?)
I thought the hack would also work on 32 bit systems with 4gb of RAM, right?
Thanks Carbon for the detailed suggestions to increase the frame rate. Wouldn't a GPU upgrade help a lot in your case? I'm considering that myself (I have a similar type of GPU, also about 2 years old).
Looks cool on the screenshot, although I would also prefer a Alpha Centauri 2. Perhaps they can do both?
I second this request! Karma for the request and the one who updates the sheet.
Thanks, I will have a look although I'm more interested in Distant Worlds by Code Force at the moment and still learning to play Sins well.
I can recommend listening to the podcast. It is indeed great and really gives you an idea how the game plays and which aspects the devs could possibly improve in a future update. Thanks for the links.
I hope the developers are paying attention and will incorporate these experiences in the next patch/update. @DirtySanchez: I've limited time to play the game and have only recently started with the original against the AI. I can now beat them at normal, and want to beat them at hard first before I try to play against you pro's. Are there also games in which only relatively new players play? In addition, I think it would be good to also learn to play as Advent and Vasari before I test
Hi, After reading some posts I got the impression that the AI is not capable of handling starbases. Is this true, does the AI not know how to attack them properly? Or is this already addressed in the Diplomacy mini-expansion?
@Darvin3 when can we expect the replay?
