[quote]I agree with Annatar11 and Multianna (what is it with that "anna" thing ?! does it mean something special ?) on one major point :[/quote] The true anna is the Multi anna :p [quote]very competitive Sins online MP is pulling the game towards the fast and furious RTS polar extreme.[/quote] Yeah, its sad it have turned out to be more of a RTS then a RTS4X. The idea was really unique :SNIFF!: I just hope for the expansion it will change, but i doubt it.. [quote]

[quote]To be honest Multi, I don't think there's much in the betas that's better than release.[/quote] Thats a matter of opinion :) I had such a passion for this game since the very beginning and i enjoyed every single beta until we reached final. I would called beta 4 the classic part of Sins, since it had me in touch with so much of everything, and would have made me play it for years to come. Ive tried so many times playing both the single and multi player, and i jus

I agree it could use some changes but the idea that you got fleet points per planet was actually a good idea. But the hole problematic with beta 4 to final is the "in touch" with things. The cap ships as we talked about. The planets are not as important anymore. The super weapons makes in no degree the gaming experience better. Gaming speed as well. If i had the choice between: $60 for beta 4 $40 for final i would pay the $60, thats how good i s

[quote]It's 90%, leaving 10% behind[/quote] i would rather wait the extra time then to leave 10% behind. To avoid this i have to do some really awkward and unwanted micro. [quote]Yep, the ship limit back then was really[/quote] Yeah, the fleet supply system was great.

[quote]On the other hand, though, they added more militia around planets, so now it's possible to get a level 3-4 capital after clearing just 3 or 4 planets, so it doesn't take too long to get that feel back.[/quote] By the time it reaches that level, you will have a large fleet with maybe another cap ship. So the uniqueness of it is lost. [quote]Psst, you know you can autopin planets so that everything your scouts visit gets pinned? Or did they make it so that only the ones you own

[quote]Would you care to be more specific ?[/quote] Oh absolutely :) I really miss the focus on the heroes units (cap ships). What ever happened after release im not 100% sure about, but they dont feel as important anymore. In beta 4 the first cap ships was really important, really powerful and with a few frigats it was alot of fun. The gameplay video from beta 3 and 4 shows this. The new Empire tree, i dont like it at all, i miss all the planets/asteroid that was on th

[quote]Second: is it me, or is that just a really overly hidden, complex, silly place to put that stuff[/quote] i totally agree with you, but its required to get the "Games for Windows" logo (:( so nothing IC/SD can do about it

[quote]If you could re-make Sins, how would you?[/quote] make it like beta 4 :D Had so many good times back then, and the final release is not really me. Not to say the game is bad, i just dont like the way the game have ended up being after gold. Thats my opinion :)

Vista: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\ XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\ and place the replay in any of the Record folders, does not matter which one AutoRecord-MultiPlayer AutoRecord-SinglePlayer Record-SinglePlayer

more discriminating evidence have been revealed...

[quote]How do you actually go about doing something like this?[/quote] just edited the scout of the vasari: 0,000001 build time 0 metal 0 crystal 0 credits 0 fleet supply and i just start building them :) [quote]How slow does your machine get at the various levels?[/quote] [quote]Is it playable with 10k ships on a good system?[/quote] it depends if there are moving ships or shooting. If 10k ships are shooting then you can sorta say its like havin

[quote]The penultimate question... why?[/quote] because the pink space ponies says so [img]https://www.sins.bz/temp/Picture%204.jpg[/img]

savegames have been added, run them at your own risk :p Also expect to have load times of 5-10min on the 20k+ ship savegames hehe

The UI fps problem was well known under the beta, but was fixed either by driver or game code, i dont really remember by what and when, but it doesn't seem to have that huge effect on my machine anymore. Now that im doing the game engine test with the 32k+ ships i need to remove the UI to gain a huge fps increase, which i can understand to a degree, just find it weird the UI takes that much resources.. Also its weird that some of you have the problem with only a few ships..<br/

updated to 32,029+ ships :d savegames will be comming soon, with different amount of units like: 1000, 5000, 7000, 10000 and so on up to 32,000 ships.

Your welcome, happy that you got it working :D

i dont have a fps problem unless we start talking about 20k+ ships. Try pressing ctrl+shift+z and see what happens. That might help :)

[quote]So far I'm not so sure if this card is even semi-bad ass![/quote] i believe it will once the drivers gets better :) I just hope it runs dx10 better then mine, as almost all dx10 games gives me a driver have failed and tries to recover, then the screen flickers a few times and then BSOD. [quote]but thanks for the suggestion.[/quote] your welcome :) ive been through the same thing, so i know your pain.. you tried other drivers? theres a new 174.85 beta driver a

Can you run Sins or other games at stock speed, without problems i mean? If not, then id say wait for another driver, since i dont believe under clocking from stock speeds will help. I had lots of problems with the 8800GTX when it just came out, as the drivers were not working correctly. So i suspect the same for all the newest hardware (:( Btw, is it a SLI motherboard you have? If you do, make sure its put in the first slot (closest to the CPU). Because i had millions of B

yeah it sounds really strange... im using a 8800GTX with the same specs more or less, and it runs fine with no lag. Maybe its a driver issuse? :NOTSURE:

awesome news!!! :D

cscoles what ever your problem is all of a sudden, just let it go or you will be banned for misbehaving.

i added a few more screens to the 27,388 ships :) im moving the ships to an desert planet so we can get a better view of them. A star is waay to big to cover :p

updated to 27,388 ships!!! more screens will come abit later. It seems patch 1.04 dont like fraps much, as it crashes the game from time to time.
