well don't get me wrong but personally I think 7 deadly sins isn't the best mod around. First i, second it's a mod so noone plays it online and versing comps is just, well, boring, third I hate the idea of colonizing stars, fourth moons are just as useful as rings are since you can't upgrade tehm individually etc, fifth 1. It slows down my computer like **ck (not sure about other peoples computers though) 2. It's a mod so no one plays it online and versing comps just suc

Reply to Game is running slowly in Technical Sins Forums

So is it possible to make sins run on more than one core? I don't know to much about computers when it comes to threading and all that **** but is it possible to enable more than one core through an update? I personally have a really crappy computer 1.6ghz single core 1gb ram 64mb video mobility radeon 9600 but it get's to me when people don't get what they pay for...

[quote]about the quote, part of the new starbases, (as i believe they are called) i have been told can be placed anywhere you would need, which i am guessing would count grav wells of stars, wormholes, asteriod belts, mag clouds, etc. so a need for all these defenses would really be useless with a big freaking base in the way. (thats just assuming that the base has lots of defenses on it, including flak, gauss, & hangers)[/quote] It's also assuming that the starbase is on steroids

Reply to Issues with 'Expansion' stuff in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I think someone has been downloading waaaaaaaay to many mods. Think about it, these expansions are kind of like mods but payware versions of mods. Other moders are doing things like adding new races and stuff for free, but usually these mods are unfinished, unbalanced, unrealistic or unprofessional. Don't get me wrong I love modders and what they do but face it would you rather have a freeware mod or a payware awesome mod. That's all tehse expansions really are, they a

[quote]Would you want the moons to be a seperate grav well that you can only get to from it's planet? Or are you thinking the moon would be in the gravity well but perhaps creating a addon to the gravity well? (ie. one large sphere around the planet and the center of the moon being on the edge of the gravity well and then a smaller gravity well of the moon extending out)[/quote] Well what I was thinking was that the moons would be in that area of space slightly out of the planets grav

The New Micro Expansions... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

So what do you think the second and third expansions will include, and what do you think they will be called? We already know all about the first one and what it has to offer, starbases, new defensive options, and those additions are great but for some reason I feel like sins is missing something, something BIG and actually afew things. Anyways recently we found out that the second expansion has to do mostly with the non-combat aspects of the game such as diplomacy but could thi

Reply to EU to Ban Pirates from the Internet? in Personal Computing Sins Forums

Personally I think it's a good bad situation. Software like Macromedia Suite and Microsoft Office is ridiculously over priced and people in school can't afford it. If they ban pirates like school people who NEED this software for school it will just make it even harder for people to do things therefore making people less happy and eventually forcing companies to lower software prices to make them more affordable. Game praters though should be banned as games are not a necessity and it just ta

Reply to Multiple Playable Races in Sins Modding Sins Forums

7 Deadly sins has the Atlantians but to be honest I don't think the Atlantians should have been released yet. Why? They use models from the 3 vanilla races don't have custom sounds or pictures and aren't to balanced since they use the same tech tree as other races. Don't get me wrong I know it's hard to create a new race but I like what manshooter is doing with his mod about releasing it when it's good and ready then doing minor updates like balancing etc.

I really think the minimum reqs for sins is way off but then again

I agree with spiral. Everytime I go online (I'm slightly above averadge when playing I guess) people are always yelling at you for things like; WHY DIDN"T YOU DO THIS FIRST YOU COULD HAVE HAD A FLEET SO MUCH FASTER you ****ing DUMBASS! Hey I don't mind people swearing since I do it a lot anyway but where's the fun in the game if you can't try out new things? I remember one time I tried just building caps to see what would happen online unfortunetly and one guy out of like 3 wanted to kill me

Reply to Are Devs Advent lovers? Are they religious? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm still pissed about malice but anyways... It seems like in every update they tend to lean to a certain race a bit more. Like when the advent sucked back in like 1.03/4 then they rebalanced again. This time though I think the Vasari are going to suck a lot maybe not as much as advent in 1.03/4 but still suck. I loved getting the free ships and to me I think there was no point in changing it anyway. If I'm not mistaken the research to get the phase gate thing is a high level one like 6+? T

While I compltely agree that this game needs an online encouragement thing desperately. Age of Mythology was released how many years ago even Age of Empires 1 and 2 and Warcraft series? Those games have thriving online communities and most that I've listed are older games. I know Age of Mythology usually has 10-30 games still waiting for players and sometimes over 50 or so people in the chatrooms. Age2 has lot's also through gamespy (last time I checked since gamespy stopped working all of a
