well the only reason I OC the CPU is for Sins, most of the modern FPS games I oc the GPU. The reason being that since Sins has limited dual core support, you tend to be better off with more juice to the processor. In the interest of trying all possibilities, I reset everything to stock and the issue remains. When both fleets are in the well together everything seems fine, its when they start shooting that things just fall apart. drives me nuts, I can run Crysis on all high at

edited 4/14 to include save game link I'm playing on a medium random map, things come down to me and one AI, both of us Advent. The AI sends in what I have to assume is his entire force at one of my planets where I have nice fleet to defend. I get ready for an epic 300 some ship battle, then gameplay starts to slow right as the fleets engage, and eventually the game just stops functioning. No mini-dump, or any error I can determine. No mods are active and

Thank you for restoring varible amounts of resources at each planet! Wasn't really thinking about it until I noticed the first asteroid I went to take had 2 metal and a crystal, then the scout went around and I saw things were back to the way they should be, woot! KP

damn that looks freaking cool. but the pandora's box you just opened.... lol KP

looks good, can't wait to see how it plays out. now release it so i can go back to large maps :) KP

Thanks once again for the model. Only improvement I can think of would be changing the 2D icon from a cobalt to something resembling a miranda, seems like something that should be able to be whipped up easily in photoshop (the limit of my "modding" ability :)), if someone could point me to where the 2D icons are stored I could give it a try. As for what is next, I'd be happy with anything. A good ole fashioned Galaxy class would rock, its what I grew up with and still what I thin

my guess..... The Political Machine will be renamed Sins of the Political Machine. for real, final mod tools would be sweet KP

wow the miranda mod is awesome. I just like seeing any kind of ship being imported, don't care what it is. The effects as it is being destroyed are top notch! Just need icons for the far away view. Thank you thank you thank you thank you for sharing. I suggest making a thread for the miranda and whatever other creations you come up with. KP

jesus, sounds like he stole YOUR girlfriend.

A B5 mod would be the greatest thing ever. Here are my thoughts... As great as it would be to be Minbari, Vorlon, or Shadows, how could you balance them? Any of these 3 declare war on you its over :). I would suggest one release with the younger and another where you can duke it out with the elder powerful races. One could argue that a fleet of younger races can and did fare pretty well vs a fleet of Shadows, but I would counter the Shadows didn't fight to win, they fought to furthe

Playing against more than 2 AI does become somewhat of an adventure. Just beat a medium map Maelstrom with 5 Hard Random AI and pirates, and I gotta tell ya it was one of the hardest things I've ever done in gamedom. Here are a few tips. First try and start by getting an Asteroid, Ice, Volcanic planet. That desert planet looks nice but now that they have a measly 2 resources I think getting it too early hurts your growth. This gives you a nice economic base, you really have to watch

Would love to help, but I would be useless. All those hours spent terraforming planets so I could have an empire of Gaia's instead of learning 3d modeling :) WTB terraforming in sins KP

Moo2 was great, Star Control 2 is one I still pop in and play every now and again. I say do it. KP

From what I have been seeing (just finished another game), is that the AI is unwilling to fight a battle of attrition. A normal strat when outnumbered near or at a production center is to keep em busy and build/rebuild ships as they are destroyed and send em right back in. It means adjusting whatever economic plan you may have had to meet the situation, perhaps upping the fleet supply earlier than you would like. The closest I have seen is the AI still faithfully spamming light frig as they r

I was being redirected to https://www.joeuser.com all morning and most of the afternoon. KP

After 4-5 games vs hard I am not impressed with the AI changes. There are some little things it does to make things a bit harder, like when the AI has the advantage it waits to engage until you are deep into the well making it harder to just phase jump away ships taking damage, but for the most part it is just as easy to beat as before. It still just spams light frig, still jumps siege into then immediatly out of your systems, still runs like hell nine times out of ten, still falls ap

nice! got it, plan on trying it in depth this weekend (damn work). So no research tech for toxic? Is it tied into Volcanic ala Oceanaic/Ice? Keep up the good work Uzii. KP

While I would like playable story, I tend to think of sins like an old Choose Your Own Adventure book. Every game you play evolves its own story based on what little we do know. The Vasari are running like hell from something, need to prepare for the next retreat. The Advent have popped up after 1000 years in hiding and are pissed. The TEC was just there chillin when all this fell in their lap, and now must defend in a seemingly hopeless battle. It goes as it goes from there. In

haha, much thanks. Keep the mods comin!

Very nice. You rule Bailknight! I'm the kinda guy that likes to save before massive battles then just send em in, put it on cinematic, get rid of the UI, watch, and look for the perfect screenshot. I love how it makes the TEC weapons less blah graphically. I loaded up a massive TEC vs TEC battle the second after i activated the mod and it was just amazing. Anyone wanna come up with a step by step to add this to Uzii's Sins Plus? It can't just be as simple as moving the dire

Decided to OC my 5800+ from 2.8 to 3.0, and it was a crazy improvement. The game does just slam one core so I would think a single core over 3 may well be better than a dual core under 3. At least this is what I am seeing atm. freaking wierd as i normally OC the vid and don't worry so much about the CPU. My PSU can really only OC one or the other without me worrying about it. Now when i go from Crysis to Sins I got a ton of things to tweak, this will become annoying very soon,

I also have one core cranking at 100% when sins runs, starts to lag very annoyingly later into large and huge maps. MSI K9A Platinum AMD 5800+ X2 ATI Radeon 2900 Pro 512 bit 512MB DDR3 2GB DDR/2 666 XP Pro Sp2 KP

Wow what a mod. I love it. Love everything about it. Why is this not just in the standard game? It should be, they should pay Uzii and get it in there. Makes the games so much more interesting and dynamic. So much easier to get going with more things around that can be colonized without going 2 into civ. Makes gas giants more than just annoying empty space to try and control. The planet bonuses are great, the occasional debuffs are annoying but I can normally live with them.<br/

Played a medium and large random map today and no matter what I do the AI hates me. Every time it goes as far to form a grand galactic alliance that wishes my destruction, On a medium map I can take 3 AI's constantly invading, thats fine. On the large map when I have 10+ fleets from far off stars with nothing better to do than chill in my space, and neverendingly try and take my little chunk of the sector. Any attempt at diplomacy is normally t

very impressive sales. I "aquired" a copy of sins in a manner I will not disclose, and was so impressed I bought it online and just tagged in my serial. I'm on satellite internet, so no online play for me, just wanted to support Stardock and get the updates (fix the mentally challanged AI!). Just the fact I didn't have to go to WalTargetBestDeoptMax made it worth while. Just spent 9 hours winning a 4 player FFA medium random map, which against the computer turns into 3 vs 1 r
