Just hijacking the thread a bit :) What settings should you save the .dds textures as, to be read properly by the game? DXD1 or blah blah, you know what i mean. Thanks!
Then you would just be annoyed by the fact that the planets dont orbit :P
I think you should make "unnecessary eye candy". Because its awesome. Half of all Oblivion mods ever released were just eye candy, lod textures and stuff, and they are hugely popular and i myself count them as a must have, even if they dont change the gameplay. I mean, if you love a game, why change it? I love this game, so i wouldnt want it changed, just the eye candy that doesnt have any affect on the gameplay.
First off, im very impressed! But one of the gas giants icon in the infobar is wrong =P And while the original star textures were far too dim, i dont like your green or red textures either. Especially the red one isnt red enough, and the green one looks a bit puke-ish :D I do really hope you will make totally new textures as well, once the proper mod tools are released! And i hope you can ADD them to the game, so we can eventually have like 20 different ice textures to show up ingam
[quote] You "dont use rar"? Why not just download winrar (it is free), and use it to extract EVERYTHING, including zip and 7z? Why do people complicate things by using different apps? The free version of WinRAR is a time-limited trial last I checked. 7Zip on the other hand is free, period. Incorrect. Go to Rarlab and download the latest ver

Why do people complicate things by using different apps? :) By the way, i agree that the stars gravity well needs to be as big in relation to their mesh size as the planets gravity wells are. In essence, mucho grande! Also, i approve of halving every supply cost for ALL the ships ;) (will still keep the supply balance) And a question, did you leave the damage an

Okay, frogboy... There is just ONE single thing i want in 1.03, ignoring all others. I realized this after some more gaming. I BADLY want a simple checkbox.. [B]"Teams start together"[/B] [U]PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!![/U] As it is now, teamgames are utterly pointless in anything with more than 1 star.. Why deny me the joy of a map with 2v2v2, where each team starts around their own star? Few players online are
Sins vs Eve? Apples vs kebabs?
Dude, that cd-key is probably (99% certain) just the one from the most distributed pirated copy of the game availible online. Hence it was a person from that crack-group that bought the game and wrote that cd-key along with the dvd-image files. So no poor gamer that buys or bought the game will be affected. However, there is absolutely no reason to "report" your friend, since as i said, he probably just downloaded it off the internet and burned it, and didnt actually do the "piratin
[quote]So if the map isn't large it sucks? That's the feeling i already had before posting [/quote] Wrong. I love the vasari, even on small maps. Their capital ships and support crusiers are far from useless.. Against your Advent shield tankers for instance, the vasari, with a support ship and tech, have like 40% chance for missiles to pass trough shields.. Thats 4 out of 10 missiles, with 50 frigates thats alot of missiles per second passing trough your uber tanked shields, com
[quote] A whole fighter group can be neutralized by a cheaper investment of flaks. [/quote] Thats the point.. If anti-strikecraft frigates wasnt effective against your bombers, there would be no counter vs carriers. Might be fun for you that like carriers, but what about the guy that prefers other ships? If we nerf stuff to the point where everything does no damage and takes no damage, where will the game end up? The fact is that bombers are great versus EVERYTHIN
SOTS had better combat, research and galaxy shapes, Sins have better core gameplay and stuff.
http://img406.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sinsofasolarempire20080xq8.jpg This is the one and only place i get slowdowns, i get no slowdowns with infocards, nor with text onscreen ingame. Chat text or text on the planets (i have that text turned on permanently in the user interface options). Or when holding alt, or when 25 turrets show their radius with alt, nothing :) Other than that game setup screen (prolly something in the 3d background, not the interface) its always stable at 75fp
Thats because there are many different ships in the game, but only 1 basic attack frigate, and tahts the Cobalt for TEC, and only 1 basic attack cruiser.. The rest of the ships are specialized support ships, for instance a fleet of 50 shield draining support cruisers with a laser dmg of 4 wouldnt do much good now would it? :)
thanks.. why wasnt this explained by IC?
[quote]Ok this is strange, is this race composite of females only. I mean ok, a few units but all their military ? [/quote] Why do all the TEC consist of only males? Why do all the Vasari only consist of males? I'd say its pretty unbalanced torwards females still ;) (no, im a male)
If thats the case, it would probably be used as an anti-whiner explanation. And i would stop whining myself :)
[B]1.[/B] Get the control group display back in empire view, at least a tick box in the user interface options to turn it on or off for us ctrl+1 lovers :) [B]2. [/B]A lowered annoyance rating of the AI's diplomacy.. Its very annoying to play a 10 player game and have every AI whine about one THOUSAND credits right from the start when you cant possibly afford it.. Perhaps a modifier that checks if you have 2/3's MORE credits/resources than they want, before they actually ask for it?
Yeah, so i made a kickass superb team map. And then i find out that no matter what i do the start locations are random, even with locked teams and all kinds of tricks ingame.. Why?
Please do make it modular, because i hate that new starfield.. But the rest was awesome! But perhaps increase the contrast a tiiny bit on the backgrounds ? To make the dark parts appear slightly darker, and the bright parts slightly brighter. The white star texture definetly needs to be more bright anyway, it has to look white ingame, not grey, very important :)
even if its just a simple tiny random one out of three possible meshes that orbits the home planet, im happy. our earth couldnt sustain life (or us at least) without our moon to stabilize the climate.. since the only homeplanets in sins are terran or desert, you have to assume that the devs took our earth as the example, yet no moon? :)
why not just have a dark gray or even black build bar? Works on all colors. sure its, unconventional, but who cares?
Why not just bring back the old control group display in empire view? However you put it, its always easier to just press ctrl+1, and then press 1 anytime you want to select that combat force, than to sit and fool around with fleets :P
[quote]Defenses exist to delay and deter, not to bunker up a planet such that it's invincible. They were never meant to stop a moderately determined force, moreso just insurgents or small to medium pirate attacks, and give enemies something to occupy them until you can get reinforcements there to defend. [/quote] But, then why does it cost more than 3 capital ships to fully fortify a planet, if its never supposed to do anything else than delay a SMALL attack? It should be more
