Reply to Mouse not bound to game window in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Are you using the game cursor or the system cursor? I always play with the system cursor. Rebellion isn't an FPS. I don't see why it's so critical to clip the cursor to the game window. I would fully support a toggle option though. Empire at War, Sim City 4, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, and numerous other titles also do not clip the cursor. Having to alt+tab in the case of Starcraft 2 and Rise of Nations was rather annoying whereas in Counter Strike Source and Deus Ex HR it is desirab

Reply to Mouse not bound to game window in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

This isn't actually a bug. This is normal behavior for a Windows application. By default the mouse does not get clipped within the active window. The developer has to implement this manually. It's not very complicated to do, but it is a personal preference issue. I prefer not to have clipping except in the situation where I am holding down a mouse button. In SOASE the cursor continues to render and move as you hold down a button. In my game development work I tend to prefer to lock th

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="44" id="3173114"]I think that people who are complaining that it's not different enough from Trinity haven't played the game sufficiently. It is substantially different.

Yes, drag and resize manually. It's a much better solution than fixed window sizes. It allows me to arrange the game and chat windows next to each other so I can do more things at once.

Reply to Petition to sticky "Guide to Trolls" in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I'd rather see more moderation to delete pointless topics like this one. I miss the days when this forum actually talked about Rebellion, reported game issues, and posted solutions to game issues. If there's not more moderation then I want to see Ironclad and Stardock become more visible to discourage pointless posts. I'd really hate to see this place turn into the Battlefail 3 forums. What a train wreck!

Reply to Map Selection Screen in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I've mentioned this in the past and continue to completely agree. Connected dots would be perfectly fine. I really don't like the little preview logo things. It would be much more helpful to see the entire map layout first, although planet types don't need to be decided upon during the preview.

Reply to Which titan is most fun in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I'd say the Ragnarov is the most immediate fun. If you get it out quick enough it's a one-man army and looks damn cool doing it. It makes me think of the Consortium capital ships in Empire at War, which is a game I'd play more often if it had more RTS space map depth to it like Sins does. The Ragnarov is an appealing design and quite a tough ship. However, the Vasari Loyalist titan (don't recall the name) is more fun as soon as you get access to Th

Reply to Starbases need embetterment for late game in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I do not at all agree with buffing starbases for late game. I really hate that idea because all it will do is drag out the game even further. Late game starbases should be easy to run over with fleets consisting of multiple capital ships or a single titan. Starbases are great for keeping foes in check or really making them work hard in the mid-game, but making them stronger when it's time to decide the victor near the end of the game bothers me. SOASE already can take hours and hours to p

[quote who="goodgimp" reply="2" id="3159894"]What does core usage have to do with 32/64 bit, Lavo? The bits effect how much memory can be addressed, it has nothing to with multithreading and core usage. Pithlit, my understanding is that the game is mostly single-threaded. It uses one core for the bulk of the game and another for things like loading textures and the like. That recollection goes all the way back to vanilla release, though, so things may have changed.[/quote]

The Maw too slow to catch moving frigates in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

The Vasari Loyalist titan's ability The Maw is too slow to catch moving frigates. It's been frustrating to micro-jump the titan in front of frigates racing to reform their fleet or jump out of a gravity well only to watch as the titan fails to activate its ability, needs to turn completely around, and then lets the enemy escape unharmed. I've seen the titan point straight at an oncoming or passing frigate only to not activate its ability and let the enemy move away because that po

I'm on an SBE i7 3820, 16 GB RAM, Radeon 7970, and RAID 0 Vertex 3 SSDs. The only time I have encountered a slowdown has been when playing an 8 player map. I believe it's called Whirlwind or Whirlpool. I'm not entirely sure. Mines seem to be the culprit. When I have a battle and mines are in the gravity well it creates issues. The game is generally smooth otherwise. Any time there's a significant number of transparent meshes the game bogs down. This was an issue in the or

flannicus90, I completely agree with you. I have the same disappointed feeling.

I still just cannot get over how little has changed from Trinity despite the inclusion of supposed new factions and ships. Would it kill someone to add more planet types and redo the textures and models of the older ships? Is there no successor fo
