Will the Great

Default language is english, and Sins is installed to the default path, yes. I hadn't thought of using the dev .exe. I'll go track that down and give it a try.

Thanks for the response. Display driver version is 6.14.12.5896, which looks to be the most recent for my card. I've verified and uninstall/reinstall/reverify Sins several times, but whatever the problem is it's not a corrupt installation. :/

Bump. Got in touch with IC support a while ago, but they've yet to offer any advice. Here's hoping someone in the community can help me out.

Never had a problem with Sins on this computer before the current patch. Or with Entrenchment/Diplomacy; it's just vanilla Sins that crashes. :/ As for relevant specs, baboom: WinXP SP3 AMD dual core, 2.0 GHz 3.0 GB RAM Nvidia GeForce 8800GT

Fresh Impulse install of vanilla Sins here, sans expansions, gives a minidump and crash immidiately after the window launches. :/ Anybody else have a similar issue? Halp?

I don't think you understand what Diplomatic Victory means. If you did, it'd be fairly obvious what happened.

Do we really need an RTS mod for another RTS?

That would be the tutorial that's hard-coded into the game, right?

I think it's a bit early for that, don't you?

Apostrophe S ( 's ) indicates possession, not plural. That's all I have to say.

Actually, I think this is pretty epic. Of course, that could be due to my...ahem... unpopular opinions of 7DS and certain individuals on the team. At any rate, well played good sir. I tip my hat to you.

70% taxation is, what, 500 supply? If you're able to crush a fleet of that size, you're already won the game. No matter how strong your opponent's economy is, he isn't going to recover in time to fight you off.

DON'T FORGET TO TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK.

If somebody has 200,000 credits just "lying around", then they've already won the match. Either you(generic you, ie, this person's opponent) are BM for not surrendering, in which case "just punishment" comes to mind, or they're BM and regardless of how and what you nerf they'll find a way to ruin your experience some other way. Honestly, I think this is a non-issue.

I like this idea.

Unable to find anything with a Google search? Methinks you need to practise your search parameters, I recommend these ones: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=honorverse+sins+of+a+solar+empire+mod

Wait wait wait...there's an online Firefly RPG? Why the **** have I not heard of this?

There's this crazy thing called Google, have you heard of it?

It'd be interesting, certainly.

Also pulse beams. At present only, what, two ships use them? They should at least be tied to the Orkulus' disintigrator.

/sign Excellent suggestion.

You guys do realize we're talking about a game that features magical energy shields and psychic weapons right?

How about having the option to "pay off" the pirates with an amount of credits equal or proportional to your bounty?

[quote who="EternalRequiem" reply="1373" id="2413591"]Should it matter? meh... I could care less... they are but tiny insects to swat and squash... or in our case run into the large capital ships windows and go splat. Those windows being shields [/quote] I swear I wrote a rant once about the phrase "could care less". In a nutshell: What you meant to say was "couldn't care less", since "could care less" is the opposite and indicates that you do, actually, care.

Ah, but still there remains the larger question: Why (and while we're at it, how) are derelict carriers launching fighters to attack me?
