[quote]Now if einstein is correct then it is very unlikely we will ever populate another star system short of building a generation ship.[/quote] [quote]There are loopholes in Einsteins work that would allow us to go interstellar. Only real problem is that the power levels are... more than impossible, shall we say.[/quote] That is just one point of view. Think of it this way. Nobody to date have said that interstellar travel is impossible. They have only stated ways how that is

[quote]Actually the main reason why technological advances arises when there is a war is because that's the only time a government is willing to spend lots of money on it. War has nothing to do with technological advances, it's just a question of willingness to invest money and resources in research.[/quote] Very true. Necessity is the mother of all inventions. [quote]To say that human rights are universal, one has to ask, "universal" according to whom's definition, and of co

LOL, the decade old "PC gaming is dying" crap. People have said that for over 10 years, and yet here we all are playing Sins and many other games, what more proof do you want that PC gaming is not dying??? Granted, different genres of games do see lows and ups, but they never truly die out.

[quote]but its people are not told the truth by its corporate-controlled media[/quote] Corporate-controlled media? I have always wondered where that term came from and exactly what does it mean. AFAIK, the first news paper was made not because the owner wanted to say the truth to the whole nation, but because he wanted to make money. For me, news!= thruth, I have never though about it that way, although I know there are many ignorant people. Rather news are a point of view base

[quote]for example there are eleven dimensions, as humans we can currently comprehend 3 up, down, and side to side there are 8 more[/quote] We understand at least 4 at the moment, the fourth one is Time. Read up on the history of the New World after Columbus "discovered" it, and it will give you a rough idea of how it might be when we start colonizing other planets. The real question should be: Will the beings living in that planet be defeated as Spain defeated the Az

[quote]Farmers and factory workers can not sustain a capitalist country. I've never heard a dumber statement! Farmers and factory workers are the country. [/quote] Take emphasis on the "CAPITALIST" part. Farmers and factory workers are the country, yes. But they don't have the capital nor the education to invest in those very same factories and run them, thus the country would have a lot of workers, but very few business person/engineers/scientist/economists.

[quote]Sorry to disappoint comrade, but Communism is dead in China. They killed it and replaced it with free-for-all capitalism. The gap between rich and poor grow wider every day, and we are right now witnessing the most ruthless, cut-throat behaviour in pursuit of material wealth. We were never meant to be nice to each other, thats why Communism will never work.[/quote] Ruthless?? Cut-throat?? Pursuit of material wealth?? Yep, Capitalism at its finest!!! One thing though, Com

I disagree will the though of China or any other country surpassing the US any time soon. Yes, they are all growing economically, yes they supply much of the labor force and lands. But you are missing one very important factor. Most of those entities in those foreings countries, the owners of all those factories, the big guys. Most of them are Americans. As such it if foolish to think that Brazil, Russia, India, or China would supplant the US as the most influential Superpower

Interesting. The cost of researching the fleet supply would still apply, and also the cost of building the ships, thus during the early game i dont think there would be much change. Upgrading supply too fast and you will find yourselve with a lot of supply but no ships. On the late game, powerful players with big fleets will have the full upkeep, if they the fleets, their upkeep goes down. Playing with the number of ships to pay low upkeep would be dificult, a ship once build is built, no way to

[quote]As a fellow communist and a personal friend of Mao Ce Tung, I support our Chinese comrades, and hope that soon the whole world will realize that "Free Tibet" is nothing more than a American propaganda... You see, everytime some country grew powerful enough to challege the American Empire, they did what? They destroyed that country, tore it to small powerless pieces! They did it to the USSR, to my Yugoslavia (don't worry, it's coming back...soon), and now they are doing it to China...They

[quote]And then, when war broke out, the Olympics were put on hold until 1948. Imagine that irony, the Olympic Games waiting for wars to actually be over before they could be held![/quote] Lol, ironic, but its makes sense. where would they have made the olympics during those years? Europe was a war zone, North Africa was a war zone, Middle east was mostly sands, Russia was a war zone, China/Korea/Japan was a war zone, South America was undeveloped by that time, lots of small conflicts t

[quote]You want Homeworld. As a former fanatic of Homeworld, I can understand your sentiments. However, fighters and bombers are replaced for free in Sins which kinda makes up for the lack of tactical control.[/quote] They aren't replaced for free. They cost antimatter and time.

[quote]Not a counterpoint per se, and I do see your side of the argument better now; but I think the main problem main like myself have is not that we want RTS to be TBS, but that we want something in between. In most cases, RTS aren't really real time, they're greatly compressed time. (Technically even TBS are greatly compressed unless people only play one turn a day/week/month/year whatever a turn represents.) So currently, the choices out there boil down to Turn-Based or Real(Twitch)-Time. Th

It's a common problem. First, some people talk of balance thinking of specific things, like just talking about RA. They don't think about how long its take research it, or the gates' vulnerability to half a dozen TEC scouts with the anti-building upgrades. The devs do, they think about the whole three-way picture. Granted, sometimes the devs assume many bad things that leads to imbalances while they think its leads to balance. Second, people hate losing, and they hate even more to accep

Hey, even if it's a mod made by 2 people, and only played by 10 others, that 12 players taht are having fun. Si why not, if some people want a mod like this, let them have their fun, even if they are a small number.

What can we do about it? Who are we (non-chinese people) to dictate what China's goverment should do about Tibet? Boycot the olimpics, trade embargos, war? That's all bad for everybody. As already said, China is a superpower, rapidly rising in power, it already has enough power to challenge the US economy directly. They also have a strong army and have nuclear capabilities. Plus, any confrotation between the West and China, Russia will most probably side with China. On a side note, don'

looks generic and somewhat unoriginal. looking at the screenshots reminded of Star Control, with the ships having so many vibrant colors.

[quote]Your wish has been granted. Accurate models, an incredible multiplayer campaign-esque game model with a battlefield ranging from Spheroid vs Clanner infantry to Mechs to fighters dogfighting overhead. All presented with the jaw-dropping graphics of the Crysis game engine.[/quote] Nice, but still, infantry combat + mech combat does not mix imo. Who wants to be the little soldier armed with a rifle in front of a 7 to 10 meters high Battlemech?

It is really not so obviuos that the grey ships are not of the same color than that of your AI opponents? Somebody should do a "SOASE for Dummies" guide and post it here in the forums (or a link). It seems it will really help some of the new people get into the game.

Just in case people don't get it before hiting the reply button...... The OP is trolling, don't take the bait.

Multianna..........you have a sick mind........very very sick........ lol

I think that, rather than just speak about casaul gamers, we should also speak of informed gamers. Those like the OP are informed about the ongoing development of sins and knows that the multiplayer problems are being worked on. And even though they might decide to stop playing for now, they will wait until the next patch to give the game another try. While the un-informed players might simply pick up the game today, play it, crash time and time again, download the latest patch, crash again, and

[quote]The defensive elements in this game totally sucks. With enough numbers anyone can just plow through your lines and do some damage. This game either need better defensive structures or buff up those phase jump inhibitors.[/quote] Offense is the best defense. Take the offensive first, strike first and hard, force the enemy to commit a fleet to defend against yours. Use your movibilty and keep moving. Try to destroy as much structures/planets/ships that you can while losing the leas

[quote]Though you may not believe it, I am sure a number of us don't hate Blizzard. What we hate is how Blizzard fanboys for the past decade have tried, and often succeeded, at turning many games we were hopeful for into nothing but a clone of StarCraft...a game we thought was mediocre and clunky at best.They also excel at turning people's attention from cool games that have recently appeared, to Starcraft. Unfortunatly, many of these fanboys have power (PC Gamer for a start). Thanks to them, th

[quote]the setting of the histories of the Galactic Republic, the Galactic Civil War, the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Jedi and the Sith.[/quote] About that Yuuzhan Vong War........is that official Star Wars story, or just a fan-made unofficial one? I mean, I read a few articles on wiki about the expanded universe, and they seem rather.....unofficial (to say the least.) A clone emperor, Luke losing to this clone and falling to the dark side, the New Republic failing even harder and fa
