[quote]I don't think I really realized until that moment just how short a stick PC titles get from Gamestop. Too bad. I really enjoy shopping at that store. Oh well, at least we've still got outlets like COMP USA... oops...[/quote] I don't shop there anymore, I do my game shopping at Best Buy now.

Reply to Capital ship fx in Technical Sins Forums

Yeah, the vasari scout ships' ability to "phase out" skewers my system, I don't know why though. I don't even have to be looking at it for it to do this. But when I turn it off, the problem goes away, so that's definately it.

Reply to Scroll Wheel Doesn't Work. in Technical Sins Forums

I have the problem of trying to zoom out and sometimes I end up even further zoomed in than when I started because it will zoom me out one click but then back in 2-3 clicks (ingame clicks I mean, my mouse only makes the one click sound). This is the only game or even the only application I have this problem with so I seriously doubt it's the mouse.

Reply to Planets become sinkholes... in Technical Sins Forums

I must admit, I've never seen this, but it probably has to do with ships not wanting to cross the point that marks where ships can't go, so if they somehow end up inside the planet, they dont' want to go out because doing so would cause them to approach this "barrier". If that is how ships are programed to stay out of planets in the first place.

Reply to Space is not 2D in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]Hey, am i the only one that noticed that space is 3D. Although I have yet to play it (its shipping now) I have noticed that the game plays out in 2D. If im wrong, sorry, but Im pretty sure about this. [/quote] Then wait until you play the game. [IMG]http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii295/Advalary/ScreenShot_15.jpg[/IMG] 3D exists.

Reply to 4x World - 1x Content? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]I bought into the 4X line myself, expecting something with considerably more depth, but what's here isn't bad. It's just a lot more run-of-the-mill than its advertised (or reviewed) to be, so there's a slowly building crowd of folks who are disappointed that it's only a neat little space RTS (basically Supreme Commander in space cross pollinated with Homeworld and Rise of Nations) and not something with more strategic depth. I was hoping for something more like an Europa Universalis 2, wh

Reply to The Verdict is! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]Sorry? for the length of the game, the technology tree is tiny.Have you every looked at the default Civ IV tech tree? It's not substantially larger. Not sure that's a fair comparison. The Civ IV techs tend to be relatively unique, whereas here we have Improved Laser I (2 levels), Improved Laser II (2 levels), Improved Hit Points I (2 levels), Improved Hit Points II (2 levels), etc...Now I'm not saying that's bad, per se... but regardless of the numerical 'size' of the Sins tech tre

Reply to Interrupting Trade routes in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Ron: Why did the devs take out info on how much each trade ship is carrying individually then? And do you mean to say that if it does still work as it always has, that whoever destroys the trade ship gets that lump sum, or a portion of it? Or are you just referring to bounty?

Reply to Interrupting Trade routes in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

But then for say a really long trade route, there would be no way to shut it off completely, because trade ships would keep getting built, and even though none of them were getting through the trade income would float at about half the regular? I really hope that's not so because that makes cutting off a trade lane not nearly as useful as it should be.

Reply to Victory conditions...wtf?! in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

[quote]Is this a joke? I've never finished a game. What all has to be done to 'win'? I just got done with a 2v2 and we completely wiped out ALL enemy planets. Nothing left. So why are we still playing? What does it take to get the victory? It's stupid...Destroying all enemy planets is the victory condition. If you didn't win, that means you didn't get them all It is possible they recolonized them after you bombed them and left them empty. You don't need to destroy every single unit, just the co

Reply to Are they fixing the fleet upkeep cost problem in 1.03? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I definately don't think that you shouldn't pay a penalty for having massive fleet supply but no fleet, but I also don't think you should pay full price for something not getting used. A flat rate for total supply + a percentage or multiplier for used supply would be nice like I've seen in some posts here.

[quote]you have to understand that capital ships are more durable, but lower DPS then frigates and MUCH lower then cruisers[/quote] I don't know what game your playing, but it obviously isn't sins. Cap ships have MUCH higher dps than frigates and even HIGHER dps than cruisers, infact, most cruisers (barring the combat ones) have little to no dps at all. Whereas caps can have upwards of 100 total dps, most frigates won't even reach 20. If your the vasari, keep the bounty up on
