Reply to 790i Ultra Q6600@3Ghz 4G-DDR3CorsairXMS in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

2 8800GTs should be close to a 9800GX2, the difference is that in one card you can get that performance. Now, no, I wouldn't pay that much for the card, but it's the same with the elite level Intel chips, you pay more for that extra level of performance/bragging. But two 9600s will run you about 230 dollars, for a slight increase in cost, you get a noticeable increase in performance. I hate to use 3Dmark as an example, but I was looking around for some benchmarks. A 9600 gets about 10K

Reply to Devs: do you care about the modding scene anymore? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

To be honest, I was looking forward to Sins almost exclusively because of DoV, and hearing that mod support was almost concern number one, was a pretty incredible thing. It does seem from what I hear that that support is not quite the primary focus. And I'm a little irate for it. I have to admit though, much of that reason for my irritation might be due to the fear that I might lose the chance to play that game. Lords why has no one else done space Nazis vs Russians and aliens? Their m

Reply to 790i Ultra Q6600@3Ghz 4G-DDR3CorsairXMS in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hey, it's fun to build machines. And why do we make money but to spend it? I usually just build a new one, rather than upgrade, but it depends on how much of a change has happened in a year. Also, to everyone saying two 9600GTs are better than a single 9800GTX need to do their homework, aside from very close pricing (Especially when I bought mine for $270), the 9600GT has only 64 steam processors on it, the 9800GTX has 128, the difference in bandwidth is enormous, and in some

Not to brag, but for about $1400 I just built a system with the following specs: Asus X38 P5E (I was going to go with a higher end MB and use DDR3 RAM, but the higher latency actually gets between slightly lower performance to slightly higher. Most things actually run better on high speed low latency DDR2 RAM) 4GB of DDR2 800 RAM (latency of 4) Raptor 150GB 10,000RPM HDD nVidia 9800GTX 512MB (single card performance out of this out performs almost anything, even many SLi con

Reply to is there a version for the ps3? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

360 is the only console that could run a strategy game with any reasonable ability. However, Sins is too complex even for it to be able to navigate well. Go watch your Blu Ray movies, lords know you can't expect any games for that system (especially not any good ones).

Reply to What do YOU name your Capital ships? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I use IAF for (Imperial Armada Flagship), and have different styles of names for various classes of ships. I generally play TEC, and this these are just TEC names.

All I want is no more mini-dumps. So that I may finish at least one game with my friends. Hours into a game, always with the mini-dump.

Reply to [MP] Chance of crash approaching 1 the longer a game progresses. in Technical Sins Forums

[quote]My group of players had exactly the same problem for a while. I can't speak to the exact nature of the problem, but having the players who had installed it on an external HD reinstall on the computer's HD fixed the crashing problem. We didn't try anything else and we haven't had a crash since, so...take that for what it's worth. I have no idea why reinstallation helps, but it helped us.My theory is that since our crashes started after patching to 1.02, the people who were crashing patched

Reply to [MP] Chance of crash approaching 1 the longer a game progresses. in Technical Sins Forums

I get the same issue, it's not a memory build up, as the first system to crash in the first game was the 4GB Vista Home Premium machine. The second game was the 2GB Vista Ultimate, Vista Home Premium,and 3GB Windows XP. Also the second game was much smaller than the first one, and we didn't crash on the first one for 5 hours. The second one we crashed at one hour, after a restart.

Reply to what would you like to see in a Sins expansion?? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I would love to see more ships, like variety. More structures, and more varied worlds. Also, would LOVE to see random events as an option. Bigger ships too. A super-capital ship class. Maybe a slightly higher level cap, like to 11 or 12, and add an ability you get at the end, that is very strong. Make the sides just a little more different. Give the Advent a super battleship, the TEC mobile factories, the Vasari an agile destroyer than is awesome at dodging, and uses a cloaking field or som

Considering so many people here are talking about the PS3, you must assume that consoles suck, but, *gasp* there are in fact there are good games, well not for the PS3, but that's because it's a Blu Ray player and little else.

Reply to Sins on XP Pro 64x ? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It may be giving better support now, running XP built equipment, but once we step up to Vista level hardware, (and if you properly tweak Vista), performance gets a whole lot closer. Vista uses more resources to run, but it's also much better at managing resources. So as we stretch our legs into greater amounts of horsepower, we'll see a pretty drastic change. Course, I suppose it's hard to say, if you could get drivers for DOS, you could never find a more stable or fast OS.

Reply to New Sins Logo Art!!! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Since this game will be largely purchased in the States (or UK), I think going for native english speakers is a good movie. Since that's also the largest market for gaming. Unrivaled is a far more powerful term, unparralleled is used rather often, and just doesn't have that force behind it.

Reply to Cannot install under Vista--restarts after 50% extraction in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Try reinstalling Stardock. I have Vista Ultimate, and had no issues installing. So I'm not sure what it might be. Be sure you have all your updates from Microsoft, and you could look into the Service Pack 1 Release Canidate ([link="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/bb738089.aspx"]SP1 RC[/link]) That fixed a few issues I had (on a seperate matter though).

Reply to Dawn of Victory - Total Conversion: Use the newer thread idiots. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

This Mod, is fantastic, I've been waiting forever for this to come out. Nothing in the world would please me as much as taking of the fictional future as the Greater German Reich. I will enjoy dominating the Soviets especailly with my enormous Dreadnoughts and vast carriers, against their numerous swarms of light ships. Here's hoping we're close to some kind of release (i.e. 2-4 monthes).
