[quote] It runs really slow on my QuadCore @ 3.2GHz + 8GB RAM + 8800 GTX KO SoaSE was only using around 1GB of RAM & barely 25% of the total CPU power. The bottleneck is somewhere in the code I think, obviously not designed to handle so many objects as is or in that manner. How do you disable the UI? I'll have another go without it. [/quote] lol, that 25% is 100% of a single core, one of your 4 are maxed out. But Quad's a

Yeah, I also reckon this would be great. But it doesn't have to be ingame, have it the same as the Lord of the Rings RTS did. Build the 'hero' unit outgame, before it starts, give it weapons, resize it, name it, color it, assign different textures etc, choose its looks, base it on a then just add parts like different weapons and things, a hanger bay or w/e so that it can hold fighters etc. Have a small stats screen on the 'hero designer' (thats what we can call it) t

As would be expected, I doubt any server could cope with the load that would be put on it by game downloads in the GB size. Hopefully I'll recieve an email within the day of either a "Yep" or "Nup" definate answer, but I'll keep at the construction just in case, so that it'll be ready when the time comes, if it comes

To Any Stardock Personel I emailed you about a day or two ago now, concerning a mirror I offered. I can't go into much detail as I said in the email that I wouldn't talk about it outside the email. However, I am aware the email was read as I got a "Read Recipt" back, I recieved this a few hours after i submitted the email, It has since been nearly 2 days since the "Read Recipt" and I'm still awaiting a reply, so that I know if I should go ahead with the mentioned co

You can get photoshop plugins that do the same thing? Damn, that would have made my life so much easier the first 2 that I made by hand

I did email them regarding this and using my own mirror, I am yet to get a response from them

lol yeah, I use this program for me and a mates game "Barnadia" *google it*

[quote] You are welcome to try yourself, but trust me you could have a Tri/Quad Nvidia 8800 Ultra and it would make next to bugger all difference on the result other than your room being more than a tad warmer [/quote] :SURPRISED: I'll have you no that my computer heats up the room it is in by 5 degree's C Fro

lol, you love your pink pony's.

Refresh my brain, the 8400M is a high end laptop card isn't it? Oh nope, ignore that, I just googled it. Going by review's ive read, its not great and only runs current game fluient with reduced graphics for "occasional" gamers. I doub't you'll get high graphics, but I think maybe medium. But we don't know how the game will run on full graphics as the Beta isn't maximum quality

heh, I hear another mod coming on from your's truely... Just to find a number that keep's the system some what speedy...I already have rescource rate in mind, now ships to!

I personaly reckon its good the way it is with reseach and 'hidden' facts, its more to find out for yourself, and learn from Example, went the Vasari once, and noticed that my Capital ship was winning against 2 TEC capitals (which were their best combat capitals). IM not gonna say that mine won, cause that'd be a lie, but it did take 1 out and did 70% damage to the other one, with only 2 supporting frigates, before I retreated my Capital and frigates With that I then knew that the Vasar

So im assuming that name changes are not possible in the beta's. Ahwell, 4 days! WOOT

:NOTSURE:

Why's he not get beta access? I paid via paypal, and got Beta access. Or is it due to the very short amount of time until the release date?

I was under the impression that Sins had no unit caps, and it was dependent on the power of your system as to how many you can have (or so says the website)

[quote] You can name planets and capital ships [/quote] :o How do you do that? That is awesome! "Man o War" "Hercules" "Minotaur" "Centurion" heh, YAY!

[quote] Sounds liek you need practice. [/quote] lol,well yourn not wrong there, I just don't see how we are meant to support AI if we don't know where they need us. Atleast Multiplayer will be different, they players will tell us where then

And by a bit of a slow down you reall mean a sevear slow down, and using page file to much actually wears out the HDD Ram costs very little, like 30 AUD for 2gb, so you may aswell upgrade the ram if need be

Great, thanks for that info :) Also, How would I go about changing my order from a download, to a CD/DVD? (Or If memory servers, there was an option to do both?) Because while I do have broadband, I have really slow broadband, and I dont really fancy waiting for ages while it downloads (It took me 6 hours to get Beta2)

Sins? A rescource hog? How so? I have a really bad CPU (AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0GHZ~) but a good Graphics Card, the CPU when running sins, litterally has never hit 100% yet, even in huge battles. Graphics Wise it doesn't even heat my 8800GT up. Quite Frankly, In term's of resource use, its quite pathetic, which is great! It means that old computers can run it, fine. When I played this on my 6600 GeForce (not GT or anything) I was getting Max graphics, at 70FPS (Throttled b

Hey, I finally, just updated my Beta2 to Beta4, and currently am still enjoying a rather, long game (5 hours GAH!) But one thing that is really really annoying me, Is my inability to help my friendly AI, he calls for help, but I can never tell where he wants help, If I zoom out to get a better view, I can't see his ships because the icons disappear at certain zoom levels I really do think there should be a mini map, that we can toggle on or off (in game toggle) that show's a mini ma

haha, really? Great minds think alike Blair Fraser

The first thing I want to say is well done on the best game of its type (Space RTS) I have ever played! To be 100% honest with you I dont know anything that needs improving its a wonderful game, with very clear, crisp graphics and details, from zooming right out to all the way in the graphics dont change which is fantastic, not many games get it right, take Supreame Commander for example, even on highest graphics at maximum zoom out ALOT of texture detail is lost The only thing I ca
