Reply to A rant and a suggestion about "formations" and fleets in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Ryat" reply="1" id="3437572"] Actually the formations you mentioned are already done in Sins through programming somewhat. Each ship has in its entity file a line for formation position 0 - 2 with 0 being front and 2 being rear. Kol (and other battleships) is in formation 0 while Sova (and other carriers) are in formation 2. If you study the way the ships hold their positions they also show this. Mind you, when action starts the formation breaks up but that is somewhat natur

A rant and a suggestion about "formations" and fleets in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

First of all sorry if this has allready been mentioned a gazillion times, but for now I just want to get this "annoyance" of my chest. Coming from the homeworld series it was a delight to finally see a good sci fi RTS again and I do like sins... However I've probably been spoiled a bit in that regard. Homeworld gave us many options befitting of it's 3d setting (perhaps too many at times?), but less can do for sins even while still giving the players a more pract

Reply to 64 Bit Rebellion? in Sins Rebellion Stardock Forums

TBH few games have ever run faster with those new directx features. I can only remember farcry 2 getting a fps boost from the dx9 vs 10. Though obviously if a game bumps up against the 32 bit memory wall making it 64 bit would help. Are you sure it's not the graphics card holding you back just as well? They can run out of eg. video memory as well (ran into that problem with high res texture packs for obliv

Balance wise if they lose a level they are already behind the opponent who A) Got Xp for killing your titan B ) Continuing to gain XP from the time it takes for you to build a titan(Which is 360(?) seconds) C) Which opponent now more than likely has a higher fleet advantage over you If you actually look at it, its really n

Reply to Partially agreeing with this on ship limits in Sins Rebellion Stardock Forums

Again I personally don't want to limit anything for anybody else but a capship only option would be nice. I've been playing a custom map with plenty of ressources for everyone and for me being able to build and turtle a bit (just vs AI). The map is 2v2v2 and gives a planet of each type for everyone. Only access to each other is through a pirate base and then central star. I was slowly nudging my way to the enemies clearing out the pirateba

Reply to Rebellion only on Steam in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Steam isn't perfect but imho it's quite a bit better than alot of other game distribution software. EDIT: I just wish I could register my trinity with steam instead.

Partially agreeing with this on ship limits in Sins Rebellion Stardock Forums

I have noticed, and it so annoying that once the computer or any other player creates a fleet with about 200 frigates then nothing will stop them. The problem is that with say, 200 illuminators or any other small vessel is that the starbase or anything else can only attack a certain number of targets, no where near close to 200. Which means that a maxed out starbase can be gutted in less time than it takes to lose a single frigate. There should

Well I wouldnt mind paying a small monthly fee. But just how? As a dane there are several problems like: What are my rights when buying something in the us? Then buying a little proggie from taiwan then another thing in another country. Theres as many laws as there are nations. The most used creditcard in denmark is the "Dankort" which is not used internationally (its cheap though). So id have to pay extra to get a visa or mastercard. Those 2 put together isnt really
