[quote]NOTE: Can someone tell me why my quoteing isn't working right?[/quote] Remove the ="who" portion in all of them and they'll work fine, albeit not linking to the original post. First one flubbed because it doesn't have the # in it, but it really should have linked back to the post. Interesting.
[quote]Lastly, i think you should jack up the damage done by mines[/quote] I laughed. The effect range, maybe (and that may be part of why they're not going off), but I can't see a damage increase as necessary, or even viable. Do you really want them to take out a frigate in one blast? (This is a slight exaggeration, admittedly, but not much of one.) I'd actually prefer that they not do as much damage. Although, admittedly,
[quote]Actually, come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen the AI build mines as the Advent.[/quote] I have. 50k+ total by one AI in one game. Didn't get around to finding out how many the other three remaining AIs had laid.
My understanding is that you can overwhelm the culture on the planet to overthrow it, but until your culture makes it out the gravity well on the other side, they can still recolonize it. I might be slightly off on that, but there is definitely a timeframe where they (and you) can still recolonize planets that are lost to hostile culture.
There are a couple of problems. One is that the constructor, regardless of how much damage it has taken, disappears, and "becomes" the starbase. Two is that the starbase has shield mitigation while it is being constructed . Three is that it takes somewhere in the vicinity of 300 DPS to take out a starbase before it finishes being constructed (on fast, anyway), assuming you start firing on it as immediately as possible. Three is largely but not e
[quote who="Gamer11795" reply="3" id="2004929"]So should I uninstall the game and just redownload then?[/quote] Affirmative. Unless anyone's got a better suggestion, anyway. I was correct in my initial assumption that you installed from CD, yes? I don't recall seeing any error like that when installing from Impulse, and to be honest I'm not sure it's possible.

[quote]Also the TEC and Advent starbases should start with +2 fighter slots, (yes so 8 total for the TEC and 10 Total for Advent after upgrades)[/quote] Advent does start with 2. They also do max at 10. Squadrons on a starbase are still useless, because all the other upgrades are more valuable (read: 2 weapons upgrades, 3 hull/shield/armor upgrades as TEC/Advent, 4 as Vasari). Vasari starbase still needs range, so
Bad/scratched disc. It happens. Even new out of the box, although it's more likely new (used) out of the box. Alternatively, bad CD/DVD drive. Also happens. Download Impulse , register your serial in it, and install the game from there, would be my suggestion.
[quote who="Orodum" reply="5" id="2004642"]can't Advent steal ships?[/quote] Not capitals, though. And in any case, this would appear to be entirely different.
[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="3" id="2004244"]It's not so much an argument that a person needs AV as an argument that there is shit out there that is going to hit you regardless; also an argument that not everything is patched out before it hits the net.[/quote]
Right click on Sins within Impulse and choose the archive option. After it has finished, to easily find the directory where archives are stored (which differs somewhat between XP and Vista, but is under Impulse's folder in Application Data in All Users), go to the blue orb in the upper left hand corner, click restore archive, and Explore the folder that it lands you in (you'll probably need to go up one level to do this). As a note, if you want to run 1.12 alongside Entrenchment
[quote who="immeyourenot" reply="1" id="2004052"]Total cost of setting up a Starbase with 2 colony pod upgrades (including Migrator & building the starbase): 5625 Credits, 910 Metal, 550 Crystal. At an average value of 4.5 per metal/crystal that comes to a total of 12195 credits for a starbase+colony pods, giving you 2.5 tax income per second. It takes this Starbase 4878 seconds, that's 81.3 minutes, to pay for itself. Is that really so overpowered? Seems like a trem
I'd assume the scouts are literally pooping mines because they have no AM (and therefore no AM to deplete). While I don't recall the mine ability costing AM in the first place (except for Advent homing-mine-as-squadrons), you might want to check the cooldown, if any.
The capital carriers would seem to defy your logic there, assuming I'm understanding you correctly.
[quote who="FrznMD" reply="1" id="2003418"]Please fix the RAM limit, apparently SINS crashes when you use 2gig or more. This should be a priority.[/quote] It's a 32-bit application. (The other 2GB is reserved for kernel space-you can modify it to 3GB application/1GB kernel, but I believe you have to modify the exe.)

[quote]I had 20% penatration i dont' think i had enough centers to upgrade damage.[/quote] For some reason I was thinking the damage came first-it's actually the penetration (which is a good thing). 5/10% is 1 lab, 15/20% is 3 labs, and 25/30% is 5 labs. Then the 10/20% damage is 6 labs. Incidentally, you might also want to pay more attention to armor, which Vasari get at 3 labs (1.0/2.0), 4 labs (3.0/4.0), and not so importantly 6 labs (2 levels which results in
[quote who="Moosetek13" reply="1" id="2002918"]You probably need an older version of Adobe Flash player.[/quote] Fixed. :P Avatar upload hasn't worked with Flash 10, but works with Flash 9 (except for some Flash 9s it doesn't?) This might be related to them still bringing things back up after the Christmas Eve crash, but I changed my avatar a couple of days ago with no problems.
My guess is you deployed it on an enemy ship. ;)

Yet I read this part of the forum presently from Elemental. Therefore his no avatar appears as an avatar as the Elemental no avatar is different than the Sins no avatar.
