LOL, I lowered my graphics settings just to see if that had any effect and I got a minidump trying to select the map to start a new game.

Any info I can provide to help? It seems to happen more frequently when I play as Vasari, but that could be my imagination.

I know this is entirely devoid of useful information, however..... Any guess on why I'd be getting frequent (early) CTD's with the Alpha? No mini dump or other error message. You are sitting there playing along and bam, desktop. Happens single player and multiplayer and there doesn't seem to be a common trigger. For example, one game it crashed when I tried to build a trade port on my second planet. Reload from last save and it let me build the trad

Playing as Advent, I've been building a small fleet of Corvettes to help my capital ship clear out rebel forces. In the last game I noticed the Corvettes were only using their Beam attack. They would make one pass with the beams then make a second pass and do nothing. Has anyone else seen this behavior? That's basically a 50% reduction to their damage which seriously hurt.

So, was playing some more Sins LAN games this weekend as Advent Loyalist. We've been playing with multiple victory conditions enabled. So far the only one we hadn't used was the capital victory. So I decided that was going to be my focus this game. It then occurred to me that the Advent Loyalist Titan at Level 6 gets the ability to instantly take over planets. So, I had it go eat pirates and rebel frigates until it hit Level 6 and then made a beeline for

Just finished another Rebellion LAN game, and my opponent won via occupation victory (which was our goal). Now, to be fair, the map setup was not a normal setup (3 systems, 160 planets, 2 players) but it seems to me the 10 minute timer is far too short. My opponents star system was 1/3rd the distance from the occupation system as mine. I was already in the process of sending a fleet from my system to the occupation planet when he captured it but they still couldn't get t

I'm going to try that, but that issue was resolved ages ago in Diplomacy. That will make me very sad if they pulled an EA and brought back bugs from the original games release.

Anyone else played any Rebellion lan games yet? If so, you have any desync issues? Playing 1v1 plus one AI on easy and the game is massively desynced less than 90 minutes into the game. No sign of latency/lag while playing, didn't even notice until the second player commented I had been defeated. According to my system, I was taking out his home planet. No mods/tweaks/anything like that. No desync issues with Diplomacy on same system/settings. <p

*sigh* My order number was in the 198xxxx range but my CC had expired since I originally placed the order.

As someone who can't stand playing without DS anymore, I can't wait to see your port to Rebellion. If you need beta testers for that, I'll be happy to help. I have regular 2v2 games (plus AI's) at my place. You guys rock.
