Man I play Counter Strike, Battlefield 2142, and Call of Duty 4 online all the time. Some people just get unneeded stress when they play RTS's online (raises hand). Playing FPS games online you only have to worry about what you are doing and how that fits in with what your team is doing. In RTS's you have to micro lots of guys and in Sins manage your empire all the while making sure you are helping your team and defending your borders from attack. FPS's are so much simpler to play online and

1. I thought about posting this on the Impulse forum but since there is only a General section I wasn't sure where to post. (I was looking for a Technical section) I will know next time. 2. Thanks for the tips, the problem was I wasn't being patient. That is what you get when you are stressed over school work and things that you think should take a few minutes take longer than you expect (my fault entirely). Thanks for the help guys, sorry for my lack of patience.

These are not the thread derailers I am looking for. [e digicons]:dur:[/e]

oooooooooo [e digicons]:dur:[/e] very very sorry, aftermath of only getting 2 hours sleep, I just can't think straight.

LOL supreme commander version! [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] It's about 4 a.m. where I live right now and I'm up writing an essay, so excuse any crazyness as it seems all my mental functions are on the fritz.

With a campaign along with the second game I hope! [e digicons]\o/[/e]

For some reason when I get to the very end of downloading the Beta for 1.1 and it starts verifying the download, fifteen minutes go by and nothing happens. How long does it take to verify a download? I had to redownload this update since I uninstalled and reinstalled sins since it was crashing a lot in game. I've attempted to redownload the beta using my college campus's internet, at night so no one else is on (in other words really really fast). Something is messing up and it is getting on m

SUPREME COMMANDER VERSION!

GOOD TIMES! LOL funny stuff. *wipes tears from eyes*

THREAD HIJACK IS MY FAVORITE! You can get some really funny stuff going on from that. Only time that is good is when the question has pretty much been answered though.

I don't care if some people skip the campaign button for RTS stories, I just want the option of being able to play a campaign.

If Shadow was a troll then he/she was the most polite troll I have ever met.

[quote]the critism about when you attack u become a spectator and not a participant is such a perfect and true critic. go play a micro intensive game and then play this.[/quote] oooooo less stress in my life lol. [e digicons]^_^[/e] I know what you mean, but I kind of enjoy the lack of direct control in battles. Mainly cause I get more time to move through the fight and watch the ships do their things. It is what I wanted in EAW when I found out about the cinematic option. I

When you are in the menu directly after choosing which type of map you want that shows all the players participating in the match you will notice a tab that says "random." Click that tab and it will show TEC, click again it shows Advent and once more to show Vasari. Of the list of players you are the top so just click the top "random" tab, you can also do this with the other AI's. So in a sense yes, you were looking right at the solution. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Hey don't worry about

No problem man, enjoy Sins!

Sins is a combination of 4x and RTS. So I can definitly see why not having a story can be a downer to some people. It was for me anyway. I WANT TO KNOW WHO/WHAT IS CHASING THE VASARI!! For games that are just completly 4x story is not needed. GalCiv has a campaign and I havn't even touched it yet, but Sins is different. You only have 3 races so the fact that we know only what the manual and into tells us has left me with a slight hollow feeling. And after playing several games as each race an

You need to research the Technology to travel between star systems in the non-military tech tree of each respective race. It should show a picture of a phase jump and a small star in the background. Note: after you research this tech you can only jump to other star systems from the star of a star system. So move your fleet to the star of whatever system they are in and then choose another star as there destination. They will then jump to that star in that solar system.

yeah, Sins does a very good job of performing well on all types of computers, Custom decals would be interesting in multiplayer. I personally like the ones that they already have for the players.

mmmmmm minefields. Thank goodness they are buffing up Defense. I hate having to run my fleet around everywhere trying to save my planets and it doesn't help that in random maps you don't get that many choke points. I had first read that Asteroid belts and fields could damage and destroy ships, but that turned out to be an error in informationn on the forums. So my response to the three expansions, I WANT THEM ALL! So is it confirmed that Stardock will be releasing all three expansions

LOL THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS! *Fires 2 nukes at a planet, 6 minutes later takes planet and colonizes it, upgrading the planetary development* "Alright forward base established, the computer must have recolonized and redeveloped really quick. *Both of players own nukes slam into the planet killing the entire pop and destroying planet* "F@&%!"

YAY FLAK! [e digicons]\o/[/e]

So in other words it is a good recorder. Thanks, I'll definitly look into those two.

WHAT THE?! I THOUGHT IT DELETED MY FIRST POST!! Maybe this post needs to be about what fixings the forum needs. READ MY FIRST POST! The second one says the same things pretty much just in different words since I couldn't remember word for word what I said in the first one.

I've been thinking about this thread for a little while now. Isn't it a little unfair to compare Sins and EAW and say which one is better? Here are two points that I would like to address. [quote]SOASE combines all the best of all those games and does it so perfectly that Discovery channel could do a weaponolgy tree on the development of SOASE . They all came first, SOASE took the best ideas and it's here now.[/quote] This quote sums up my first point pretty well. Sins came af
