Yes, each planet you get in Sins is just like buying a "Fix'er Up'er" house. You loose money until you "fix them up" with investments of credits. And, sadly, ignoring most the technologies, except key ones like LRM's, is good :/
I'm not complaining here, just confused: I thought the patch was due in mid July, but, that they were going to release a beta before then for all to test. So they have not released the beta yet, correct?
First, if this option is already in the game, please someone let me know where. But, the main complaint my 2 friends have as they learn Sins is that they HATE telling each and every Hanger Bay and Capitol ship what types of fighters to make. I can't count the times I've been teaching them this game, only to hear them cuss because they did'nt micro-manage the Hangers by telling them what Fighters/Bombers to make. I find it annoying too, and just wish they'd automatically build 50/50 un
I use to know a "pirate" a couple years ago (and I broke off the friendship finally "because" he would pirate). He did steal games he would not have bought, but more often, he saw a great game I was playing he liked, and would steal it. As a VERY sad side-note: I still know people he knows, and they told me he did finally BUY Bioshock rather than go through all the pains he was having getting the pirated version to work/update. I really hate the way copy protection is going lately,
Great, now I know we can still play Lan. Good to know since 1.5, we've been able to finish 2 games now (they would not reload saved Lan games here before that). Poor IC, I bet they wish they'd just have used "July" instead of "Mid July". It would have given them 16 more days leeway ;)
Well, I'm not really stoked about the "Impulse" thing, seems every year, programs need more and more "info" from my "personal" computer. But it does make me snicker in glee, thinking about people who might have pirated this game, seeing the great 1.1 update, and not being able to get it. :LOL: I have 3 computers here; 2 pc, 1 laptop. 2 email addresses (1 for me and personal stuff, and 1 for my roommate to use and friends who come over or stay here). Then there is my computer at wor
Ummm, did I miss something or am I missreading the announcement? They were going to release 1.1 in mid July (which is about now?), but going to relase the beta before. Did they release the beta, and I did not see the link?
I found the tutorial for this game one of the most borring in recent years. But I thought I'd just skip most of it and learn during the campain. Whoops! No campain. So back I went to finish the tutorial. I've also taught this game in person to two friends in hopes they'd play via Lan here. After showing them the basics, they both said they wanted to do the tutorial too anyway, and so, whith grimmised face, I let them at it. About 30 minutes later they come in and say "please tell us that th
I was just talking to a friend of mine about this last week: I would say 75% of the people I know are having trouble sleeping and/or are tired all day. It's kind'a freaky that so many seem to be having this problem recently, as I don't remember this ever being a problem for anybody I know untill the last 10 years or so.
Heck, I'll even send you his email address in advance if need-be (private mail of course) to make sure, cause I'm sure we will have to patch it up to 1.5 (And, btw, we are now able to finish Lan games here since 1.5 :D ) What is "Max Activation" anyway?
With all the talk about Spore and Mass Effect's copy protection, it got me thinking, about my upcomming vacation: I leave on vacation in a couple weeks. I usually take a game or 2 to play on my friend's Lan while gone. I want to take Sins, install it, show it to him (and his friends/family), play the game with them via a Lan, but, can I? I've already installed it on my 2 computers here, so can I install it on a third to play while I'm at another l
96% accurate is the current stats; the company said they would retest you (99.7% accurate), IF you contested the test, after 1 fail. But the point of the post was, odds are high you'll be taking a LDT in the future, and theft/piracy is the main questions they ask about. And if you fail, they will "LOL" while they escourt you to the door if you try to tell them all the reasons you pirated. . .
Is there even any tenative info on when 1.1 might be out? It's been quite a while since 1.4 (which is when they say they started work on it). I was going to wait till 1.5 to try MP, but there was so little changed in that patch, I find I'm now waiting till 1.1.
Well, for all you pirates out there, I have some bad news for you: The company I work for, does some serious stuff during their interview process. And one of the parts of the interview is a LIE DETERCTOR TEST. And one of the questions they ask me is if I have pirated in the past. Luckily, I have never, but, if I had, I would not have the incredible job I do now. There was also some theft going around the building several years ago, and we all had to take LDT, and I did not pass.
I can never get a 1v1 either, and have given up on online (for now, until 1.1). I'd do 2x2 or 3x3, but since I'm not that great of a player, I just can't stand the rude comments of teammates because I'm not at their level of play. With 1v1, you don't have to worry about that.
Yes, finding replays for Sins is a pain, and the few I've seen offered on these forums were fairly "uninspired". I wish there was an area for them, like in SC.
I write the names down of any player that drops like that, and will not join, nor let them join, any game I am in. It's worked pretty good so far.
The edit button only disapears if you totally mess up your post. If you get it right, then it show up.
I don't see an edit button either, but, we all get what we pay for, and these forums are free, so I don't mind too much. (I'm using the editing button that showed up after this post to edit this message) ;)
I've been hearing "PC gaming will die" for untold years; since my Amiga. You do realize, don't you, your using a PC to tell millions of people with a PC that PC gaming is dying. . . . ;p
I have 2 computers here, on a Lan. My main compuer is a pretty decent dual core, but the other one that Sins is installed on is getting pretty outdated, and I'm going to replace it soon, so, does that mean I lost my second install of Sins? I also reinstall windows like about every year or so, do I loose the install count for that too? And as a gamer of 30 years, I can't beleive I really have to worry about things like this now. I beleive this is what my friends in their 50s-60s are c
Hey, what if some planet defences actually took up Fleet Cap AND Tactical cap? Then there could be better planet defences; just a thought. . .
Ya, the TEC could have a parade with confetti made of cash; the Advent could have a chess tournament (with cheerleaders); the Var's could have a BBQ with a random race as the main course.
I'd love great planet defences too, but, every time I "play-test" that in my head, I see impasses and stalemates. Only the ability (Level 10?) to jump more than one planet away might make better defences plausable. A "Long Range Hyperdrive would be a terrifying ultimate tech. I don't need more ships myself, I'd just like to be able to (and want to) build more of a mixed fleet. Nothing I like more than showing a spammer the error of their ways ;) How about a planatery shield
Well, In SC, you can choose to join a casual game MP (unranked) or choose to play a ranked one. Every DC/quit is put on your record if you choose a ranked game. It works perfectly if you ask me. If someone quit as soon a they started to lose casual game, or gave any noobs on my team BS cause they were, well, "noobs" (I ofter wonder, the people that name-call noobs, did they just become pros their very first game?) I just put them on my Ignore list; often, I would refuse to play on a team wit
