[quote who="Howdidudothat" reply="8" id="1889535"]I think everyone answered ok. My only sticking point is that to me, refineries are worthless. Just put trade centers up and if you need resources, buy them. Trade stacks so much better than refineries and the cost to research and build refineries just doesn't outweigh the benefits. Besides, if you play Vasari, you will be in no short supply of resources anyway - yeah planet suction! [/quote] hm trade ports

[quote who="horneraa" reply="4" id="1889512"] hehe, well u can look at it that way... but then lets look deeper... would u .. as a greenhorn pilot move all alone .. 1 vs 50 to the enemy then the next frigate, and the next.. in a vertical line so they have easy pickings??? That pilot was asleep at the helm. He died a peaceful death dreaming of last years Galactic Sports Illustrated Spacesuit Edition. [/quote] bah i guess i cant argue with that[e digicons]^_^[

you can run crysis :D?? nice... 1 thing tough.. is your game lagging? or is it SLOW? cuse i think it should run fine.... if it lags it might be Ram memory

more specificaly.. when inside a game (where you choose what ai you want to play) (singleplayer or multiplayer) theres an options button on the bottom of the screen, the rest points itself :P

hmm this ones easy... i tried and tried until i found my perfect combination ;D try to get atleast 1 trade port per planet (not massing them on 1) so every roid should have atleast 1 trade port too!!!! every 3 or 4 planets.. u give a culture structure.. this supplies a steady and fast culture to your inner empire add cultureal buildings at or close to the border that is under cultural attack, also try to station capital ships there (va

is uber unfair ofcourse... but then again... this is one of the reasons why pirates exist the loop that goes on forever..... every so called "solution only makes the loop longerr.... pretty fun rlly: Solution: implemented: more pirtes, less customers: D.O.H.: [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]

hmm difficult question... i'd say.... 80% of the time i'd upgrade after i got a "fair" amount of ships (10-15-20)? then where i am able to que up at least 1 ship in the dock and afford the upgrade... so say... 1 ship being produced, upgrading.. then being able to build a new ship right after the first one's done (or start queing) the other 20%.. well it's really a matter of wich position youre in... recources... winnig/ losing side.. planets..... allies??strategy.

omg finaly someone who thinks my way thx unisin, thats +1 karma for you for posting the major and most annoying bugs annoyances in sins only comment i got here is #1: the Warnings first of all, i totally agree on the fact that warnings should be heard, so many times a more important warning is skipped becuase a simple "jump in progress" warning is already playing..., the warnings should add up, being given 1 after another, not just skip em... how

rofl i doubt anyone couldve said that better then you just did horneraa[e digicons]:O[/e]

theres little point in having such "intelligence"..mostly becuase not everyone likes abilitys not autocasting on for example a planet.... thats where autocast is for, if u dont have enough time to click on a colony ship and disable autocast then maybe u should take a quick lesson in fast-clicking.. or send in in after you know its safe if i had to choose between what you have just stated i prefer it the "old" way mostly becuase i dont use autocast on abilites such as telekenetic

more pointless arguements the game has up and downs, everyone has different standards, i enjoy the game even after playing map after map.... reason? it's different all the time (friends only) me myself... the games great, what goes on on the outside doesnt suit me..... (my opinion) also note that sins is geared towards a space combat game, not as an empire builder (like GC) ofcourse building a profitable empire is something s

campaign is the best way to learn RTS games, so it'd be a good feature for newcomers, and pro's who just wanna know the story alike (like me) at first, b4 thinking about sequal of the sins story.. not everyone reads the story (i do btw) so those people will mis a large portion... and forcing people to read the story wont work either [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e] it's always possible to add new capmaigns .... in later stages.... so for example: story start... in campaign.

Every race has different playing styles vasari having a vast advantage late game (phase gates) Advent having the strongest antimatter abilities (if used in right combo... + fighter force can be game-ending) TEC having the strongest economy, and cheap ships (having a TEC that focusses on support ships as an ally wil mostly result in your team winning) Cap ships should not be seen as omega-ships, theyre just big command ships with powerfull ablilit

aww.. then beta interest was lost :/ any way to downgrade to 1.05? or do i have to uninstal, reinstal then update to 1.05?

[quote who="Mighty_NJS" reply="2" id="1884832"]this is how you should look at it.....you lost the cd key so it was your fault. but since you did buy the product they could atleast send you a new one for just the shipping cost. Also how are they supposed to know that you arent trying to just give the cd key to someone else? [/quote] its aaalll about money.... keep sending post and ask if u can get a new serial ..... do NOT pay for it..., u pay for the copy o

[quote who="Razza7" reply="1" id="1884163"]yeah that would be really cool I also really badly want to be able to upload my own Logo for my Faction, im talking about the 40 or so triangles and circles patterns you get to chose as your faction logo on at the begining and it appears on all your ships and planets. btw, i find it really strange how i can run SINS very very easily and smoothly with top graphics but cannot run World in Conflit on the SAME machine! Its lags real

roflmao lets not say... wtf?? that sucked?? ah dam said it anyways...[e digicons]>_>[/e] [e digicons]X|[/e] [e digicons] then.. lets not laugh about it and NOT say jumping out of a roflcopter with my lollersk8's ah dam also said that [e digicons]:typo:[/e] [e digicons]:-"[/e]

in a 2 v 2 map your either rly confident or plain stupid to ignore an alliance offer vs an already teamed up oponent... some good hints on making an alliance with someone, and how to spot basic backstabber behaviour first of all, dont just ally with anyone, keep a close eye on whom u want allies with.. is he close, does he expand fast? secondly watch his behaviour, does he swear to some people? is he being annoyin.. using.... dumb language? most of

if your playing the beta (v1.095) it already has the ability to test your hosting capabilities.. and if necesary bypassing it..... its one of the tabs on the left whilst online... about low activity.. yeah im on the beta currently normally saw around 40 - 100 people online..... but everytime i log in now i get a mere 2.. wich i personally conlude me + 1 (probably) maintenance (bot) or atleast some(thing) that doesnt play games :P begin

hey there for over a week now i kept logging in ironclad online every so often.... but never saw more then 2 people online (myself included)..... am i just missing the online activity or is my beta old :/? Using Beta v1.095 offtopic.. dont mind reading just had to typ this so i wouldnt forget it myself :/ also found a bug several weeks ago... stil didnt have time to report it and no idea how to make / show / report a repl

[quote who="Venym1" reply="2" id="1884967"] Nice public relations save, Brad Wardell. In the past, you've been able to bolster your sales by appealing to disgruntled gamers. You have done so by "taking their side" and criticizing DRM--this in turn makes them supportive of you and thus more likely to buy your games. I should know, that was a significant factor behind my purchase of
