in addition to everyone else's comments, i also seem to notice that your force is outnumbered 2-1... (maybe even 3-1?)

ok i found the problem, i apparently have multiple Sins folders probably left over from the beta or some earlier version? the other one was hidden somewhere else and it had the Mods folder. thanks for the help though :-)

i have everything but the mods folder in the path including my saved games ect. in game, when i click on Mods, it shows the path to be to the Mods folder in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire. i even just reinstalled the latest patch. i use xp.

sorry, it's fully updated as well, forgot to add that.

so i decided to check out some of the available mods to spice up the game a little, and when i tried to install them i found i had no Mods folder. i then went online where i was told to show my hidden files to find the folder, yet it still doesn't exist. i tried making my own folder and that doesn't work... any suggestions?

i don't think i have a "Mods" folder- i have show hidden enabled and everything, but nothing appeared. i tried to create a Mods folder but the game doesn't recognize it. any suggestions?

Yeah, I didn't know that they changed it in the final version and was very confused the first game i played! Basically, I will make a fleet and just hot key it usually. To add ships to a fleet you have to set the rally point on the icon for the fleet IN THE GAME SCREEN, not on the side bar.

I think it's a perfectly viable strategy... if you don't get caught you can really disrupt you're target's economy, and production capabilities. If you do get caught it's game over for you. I think you can only consider this an exploit if it's impossible to counter, which it isn't.

ah, alright cool. i didn't realize there was a diffence. thanks for the help, ill try it later today

i just played my first online game tonight, and i was rather frustrated because my fleets/control groups wouldn't appear on my empire tree/side bar... any reason why this is happening? i have the option enabled in the user interface settings. this worked fine in my beta version- thanks
