I'm just running Diplomacy, with Requiem mod, havent installed the optimized mod yet. baby steps .lol Though I don't understand the Stardock/Ironclad business model, They struck gold with Sins, it sold very well, but since then, we get to untried unknown games, Demigod, Elemental, instead of throwing us a bone ( even info) we get silence.

I don't know if this means anything, but I noticed as I play Sins/requiem mod with Nvidia monitor running in backround, my ram useage is around 85%.( xp /priority realtime) As I play for about a half hour I creeps up to 88/89% but when I back out to Windows with the game paused for a little as 20 seconds, the ram usage goes back to 85% right away. Then I play for another half hour at 85%, contining the game. So I have been able to play games without minidumps( small maps

The only thing I would change if I could is the Empire Lancer green lasers look to BIG for the ship there coming out of. I like the smaller thinner Advent lasers. Have not seen the rebels build their High end Liberty cap, or the Vasari starbase, or Vasari lay mines in or out of their well, is this Mod related?

How about 20 or so maps make a level and every new level you meet a NEW enemy, and just go on from there? This way Sins is just like it is now, you play at your own pace , just meeting new targets along the way..... btw ..this feature could be turned on and off.

Reply to Ungodly pirate raids in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Something needs to be done with giving pirates missions. Once you have economic dominance you can just send a killer pirate fleet to do your bidding. Your losing, dont have money to bid, plus someone is kicking your ass by hiring pirates, and your fighting regular factions. I have won most of my single player games by using the pirates as my killer force and me as clean up, that should not be. That being said, on

I was successful to run a 7 hour game (still going) last nite, with no change to graphics, other than to lower anti-alias to 2x instead of 4x might go with none depending on how this game finishes. btw whats that setting between 2x and none? And kept it at 3 teams on a 32 planet map instead of 5 on a 65. I'd rather limit my game size than my graphics, besides as you can tell by the 7 hour game, unfair gives me a challenge an

It can be, though after helping countless people with this issue on the Requiem forums, lowering the graphic effects settings is the most reliable way to reduce those crashes, if not eliminate them. If you go to

Reply to A question for the dev... pirates ??? in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

I newly discovered the requiem mod 3.1 which lowers pirate strength by 33% and took away their siege frigates, seems to be the perfect balance. I also after playing this game for years had to turn off pirates or lower the difficulty before enjoying? them again after this mod was installed.

Reply to Community Balance Mod - Capships in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I always wondered why all cap ships are the same cost, a kol should have much more hp's BUT also cost a couple thousand more to build. It would be a strategy to build lots of cheap caps, or save for the more likely to survive type. us single player guys don't stress this too much.

[quote who="boshimi336" reply="2" id="2676536"]wbino, please honestly consider what I have to say as well. I have played Requiem, it is indeed very good in it's current build. VERY big two thumbs up. If you are a fan of the original game play but would like a similar 'expansion' feeling. I highly highly HIGHLY suggest the Distant Stars mod. Just something to check out my friend. Those two mods in my opinion are, well, (other than ManSh00ter's Last Stand mod that h

First off...so this is what's capable in front of a p/c instead of porn? Seriously...I have been a gamer my 47 years and was always something of a mod snob, I thought if the devs didnt create it, I wanted no part in it. But being on vacation I had extra time besides the usual time Sins sucks away, I installed the Requiem mod and lets just say it brings new life into a game I have been playing since day one. I always thought that the graphics,gameplay, and the way it would scre
