[quote who="blwill" reply="4" id="2544653"]Yes I will show them. There are at least twenty other gamers I know who are waiting for my recommendation to buy Sins. That won't happen as long as it stays in its present form.[/quote] Well...20 gamers is not many at all...I guess I will recomend it to the 20 gamers that are hanging on MY every opinion and counter your shinanagains. LoL! [e digicons]:P[/e] On Topic: I agree with whoever suggested a pirate-dificult

[quote quoting="post"] Pretty much wasted my money buying this upgrade. Until the pirates are nerfed back to a realistic level I am not going to bother playing this game and will not recommend it to any of my friends who were interested in acquiring it. [/quote] LOL! You will show THEM! [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]

THEY have to research the "give resources" tech before you can demand any...though oddly enough THEY can demand that you attack someones tactical structures before you even know where that AI's planets are (well, on really large maps), or have the ability to do so. heh

[quote who="dragoaskani" reply="7" id="2543403"]sorry I Forgot the forums is full of bads who couldn't beat them. Game on losers.[/quote] We bads, we bads...LoL!!! bads...I am sorry the bads had to ruin it for all the goods out there. You keep wining those games and feeling skilled, winner. On topic: The pirates should not be another player on the map...not in the same capacity as a race anyway. They are a nucence, and while they SHOULD be somewhat o

Normal 0 First, and more game impacting: A Progen with Shield Restore on auto-use, when its shields hit zero, will use it, but it will keep attacking and lose its ‘focus’ (stopping the regen). If the player clicks it, mid-attack, the ship will stop firing and use it correctly (unless told otherwise). Second, and super

If they have the pact and you have the love-o-mete high enough they will offer...and when it goes south they takeith away. It IS kinda robotic, rightly so I guess.

Heh...I used that glitch to my benefit once. I was in a 4player FFA (offline) and teamed up with one AI...eventually. He started pounding on one of the others, and that would have given him a ton of planets. With me planning to turn on him I could not have that. I saw one of the Advent space-tics sitting in the next syste

Works fine for me. Do you have mods running? Also, if you toggle deepspace when your colored is still on it is had to see a change sometimes. I just play with deepspace, but they are both working in my Diplo 1.00

sigh...I would be happy just knowing WHAT artifact is on an allied planet when you have shared planet vision. >.>

I used to, more often than not, play a mellow game...yeah, against easy AIs. It was relaxing, now, even against easy, I have to actually be awake to play. I am liking the new high-difficulty "cheating" AIs though. That was the other end of the spectrum, when I DID want to play and went against Hards...it was kinda snoozy. All in all, I like it.

The Vasari hanger has an upgrade that traps SC in phase space for a bit. After they come back out they might have lost their order-que, so they act as they would if you had just parked them at the point where they phased out and then let THEM shoot what they wanted.

I just found this out too. I wonder if you can prevent them from asking YOU for money by not researching that tech...hmm. Either way, I an not really a fan of their missions. I generally play mellow turtling games and am not so good at "Kill 10 Tactical Structures in 10 Mins"...so, I let the mission time lapse and make up for it with Envoys and monitary lovin'.

I was running a quick 4'player' FFA (me and 3 easy AIs) to flip through the new stuff and see what presents everyone got from space-santa. 2Player Alliance Victory, no Pirates (I have heard the stories, not a good learning environment), everything else was normal. [ Me(advent)/advent/vasari/TEC ] I naturally hooked up with the Advent lady (and we where on the same half of the map, \o/ yay!), even though her first move was to all-out pound the crap out of me...I was busy readin

To preordered the trinity thing and have serials for Sins and Entrenchment, but not Diplo. I am also not seeing it in impulse (correct email...only email...and restarted it etc.)

I still get a chuckle at putting guardians 'behind' a 'jump in' point and shoving the new arivals into a cobination of mines/static defences/ships. [e digicons]^_^[/e]

All this complaining, I guess Impulse really does keep the pirates at bay :) I do not use Impulse because I do not trust Microsoft and its IE7, but I think Impulse is a brilliant program and great new way to piss off pirates. Hell, I say make patches unavailable and have a program like Impulse that actually edits the core files once a week, even if it is small 8b segments that take 2 seconds on the slowest connection (and do it in the background during game startup). Su

I have this issue aswell. I am running NVidia cards. They have no issues with the game (Highest or lowest setting, few to many ships), but once that text pops up everything grinds to a halt. I look forward to seeing a fix for this silly little bug. :)

Thanks Galatei, that did the trick [e digicons]k1[/e]

[quote who="Zaisha" reply="6" id="2103956"]The second mini-expansion is supposed to include as massive overhaul of the diplomacy system. (along with things like alternative methods of conquering planets, intelligence gathering, etc.)[/quote] This sounds promising...I will keep an eye out for it :) thank you.

[quote who="galatei" reply="2" id="2104946"] - I assume it's regarding GalaxyForge 3 ? - What is your operating system, version, sp ? - Which version of the game ? [/quote] -GF3, yes -OS is XP sp2 -Entrenchment 1.01 @Moo: What/where is galaxydefref? thanks :)

I am only looking to make some solar systems but I can not get GalForge to start. I get a shorp pause then an annoying window asking if I want to send microsoft my soul an error report. I have come across one fix that told me do move some .dlls, but it reamains non-functioning. :'( Thank you for your time and good gaming to you. :)

@Newplayer--You can start your own threads...this one is about Drone Hosts. @OP--Flak is still quite powerful. The squads keep coming back but they are not at 100%. If you have flak and ignore the carriers they are only sending a few actual fighters at you (though it does show a squadron icon), meaning lower DPS. I am sure someone else can post the DPS of a light frig and of a fighter to better illustrate what you are facing when it is only 1-3 fighters.

Heh, I actually DO want missions requests and breakable alliances though...otherwise I would just lock the teams. I guess there would have to be a fix that makes donations and 'acts of kindness' count FOR you in their eyes...THEN have the crazy mod I proposed...sans player given missions :( Thank you for the info so far...I do hope someone takes an interest in this neat, is poorly implemented, diplomacy system.

Hello there I have done a few searches and can not seem to find a mod that disables the 'missions' that the AI gives you. If there is one could you point me to it? If not...some ideas: -On/Off switch --The ability to turn missions on and off -Lax/Normal/Harsh penalties/gains --Lax: 5% loss on any failed mission (static value) --Harsh: 10% gain on any fulfilled mission (again, static) --

I am looking to install the latest patch for Sins and was told to install some Impulse program. When I tried it told me I needed IE7...I will not have IE7 on my computer. What is the work around on this problem. note: I am not going to install IE7 just to update my game if that is how it has to be. Thank you for any help or ideas that you can present. :)
