I have played alot of different mods in this game over the last few months. and after putting most of them through the paces i finally loaded this mod up last night. i must say that hands down this is the best mod for sins by far. its not too intrusive so that it changes the game too much like many others. the additional music is frakking splendid. pirates showing up with a pirated capital ship made me fall off my chair. the research modifications are nicelly balanced instead of just adding d

the problem with the parallels and vmware virtual machines is the graphics support. parallels doesnt do a good job with directx and vmware isnt much better. it makes sense that they would struggle because there is overhead from running xp in a VM that sits on top of OSx. my bootcamp partition is 6 GB which is enough for the xp install and 2 games. (i also play homeworld 2 alot) so there isnt much of an impact on hard drive space.

this mod makes me feel like i bought a new game ... absolutely loving it. even convinced my brother to DL the mod so we could go head to head a few times. normally there is a lot of chatter between us during matches, but he was silent for alsmo 20 minutes before he burst out that he had been hypnotized by blowing things up the whole time. one issue though, TEC torpedo ships dont fir torpedos when i use the mod. is that something that others have experienced?

Hi all, i ran the update for entrenchment yesterday that put me on version 1.02, after doing that the mod i recently installed doesnt work anymore. is there a way to download previous versions of entrenchment, or even to downgrade to an older version. i would really like to find a way so i can run older mods. i have the original install cd, but couldnt find any information that would help me. thanks
