Its the orignal game, bought a hard copy when it came out and origanly updated it thru the sins website.

I bought sins a while back and havent touched it in a while. I downloaded it on my new computer but I cant find where to update it. I open the game hit the "update game" button follow the directions it just leads me to the stardock.com store but no updates. Maybe im just not tech savy but it shouldnt be some ordeal to update a game. For some reason fileplanet didnt work either. They said that its being archived or something.

you defently want to use sinsplus. they have a water planet for mon calamari, a urban planet for coruscant, a forest planet for endor, bespin would be a good example of a colony on a gas world and also a few other planet types that will be helpful. with 170+ planets you need all the varity you can get.

hmm seems my post didn't post...odd. anyway I think its just an oversight that multi scuttle isn't in the game. star trek armada had this where the whole fleet would line up to be deconstructed in the ship yard. as far as killing your own people, common use your head, when we implode buildings in the real world we always empty them first. just pretend the countdown is for giving time for the place to be condemned, you will feel better :)

for defence get as much orbital defences as you can, often enemy AI will jump in see all that and turn around and jump out again. Pirates ofcourse dont care they go strait for the planet. if pirates are a big problem that you cant get to right away let the planet closest to the base have nothing in orbit, they will destroy the construction ship and then leave.

i love the combat in that game, especially mounted combat fighting the guys on warthogs. if your not into the whole 3rd person RPG then you wont like it.

in shows like startrek there were always some kind of mission for their own worlds that had to be taken care of. what if once in a while (random or set or 30 min or so) a planet had a problem and you received no resources from that planet till you put a capital ship in orbit for say 20 sec. could be an uprising, a medical problem, or a labor dispute. when you take care of it you could get a temperary bonus of some kind.

grottenolm you are awsome, ive been pulling my hair out in tuffs trying to crack the code. every map i make im gonna name a star or a home planet after you!

its possible but its a heavily guarded secret. in my searches every thread that looks like it talks about it is deleted or a bad link or something. ive downloaded someone else map and messaged them about it with no response. ive played their map and it does work, i just cant seem to duplicate it.

i personaly dont get too wraped up in a campaign, i dont want to play someone elses story i like to make my own. for me i feel cheated if a game doesnt have a sandbox mode. this game is spot on for players like me. i never finnished the stroy line of some of my faviorte games like the settlers or stronghold. its all about making my own content and playing the game the way i think it should be played. I play the single player game almost every day and i have a blast. when you talk about mor

does this have something to do with richard simmions? i know hes behind this somehow.

ok i got into someone elses map and tried to copy what they did, this is what i came up with interStarConnectionCount 3 interStarConnection starIndexA 0 planetIndexA 115 starIndexB 1 planetIndexB 113 spawnProbability 1.0 type "Wormhole" interStarConnection starIndexA 0 planetIndexA 116 starIndexB 2 planetIndexB 111 spawnProbability 1.0 type "Wormhole" interStarConnection starIndexA 1 planetIndexA 114<br/

just to show im not lazy i'll show what i have done so far. when i open the map file i go past my first galaxies planets (hince forth refered to as gal a)to the connections part. since i have 2 wormholes per galaxy, i up the connections number from 49 to 51 then after the last connections lines i add connection planetIndexA 115 planetIndexB 113 spawnProbability 1.000000 type "Wormhole" connection planetIndexA 116 planetIndexB 111 spaw

same here, ive been playing single player games almost every day since the game came out and its still my last achievement. I play alot of custom made games from galaxy forge, i have to wonder if that effects it. I would like to know what maps people have found theirs on.

i thought about making friends and influencing AI as well. I would like it if the AI you are a peace with when you win wouldn't automatically go to war, just have a friendly little universe till i decided otherwise. I also wonder why other actions outside of missions have no effect. i could give the AI 1 mill in crystal and they still wouldn't like me any better. or i save their home planet from invasion but I still lose faction because i did kill 6 civ stations. I would like to see faction

there are many (and im one) who enjoy sins plus. its in the download section along with others. it adds more planet types along with other tweeks.

i posted this in technical with no luck i appoligize for the repost but hope its more visable here. I made a large 3 system map with 2 wormholes in each system. I'm wanting to have each wormhole going to one of the other two systems. Galaxy 1 Planet 115 wormhole to 113 116 to 111 Gal 2 113 to 115 114 to 112 Gal 3 111 to 116 112 to 114 If someone could write that for me where i could

if you made a new map since you downloaded the update for galaxy forge it might be that you havent over writen or deleted the old galaxy forge files. they need to be replaced. if your trying to get maps that you made before the update you need to open the file of the map with note pad (or whatever) and make the change Annatar stated. if that doesnt work you lost me.

I

I like to make a play very specific galaxies that i make on galaxy forge. is there someone working on getting the new planet types to show up there, I'm new to plus but I'm already enjoying the variety but the control freak in me doesn't want make a ton of weighted random planets. edit: Never mind i figgered it out. just copy your GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef and paste it in the forge file.

ok the line most of you will show me will probably look like this "C:\Documents and Settings\*user name*\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\" but heres the problem i dont seem to have a "Local Settings" folder there. so now what?

i love this game as well. i like building huge maps and completely dominating them. sometimes just keeping the AI around and healthy so I can toy with them. i wish someone would take the same ideas behind this game and make a 4x rts with a Stronghold or Settlers type background. have to stick with mmo's to have a large fantasy world to explore.

thx for the clarification, works like dream.

seems you cant load up the dev made maps into galaxyforge anymore either, i wanted to try that to see what needed to be changed.

I cant load any maps i made before or after the patch. they just dont show up in the new game list and i know how to make them, i made dozens before the patch that worked just fine.
