Reply to New starbase idea (thinking ouside the box) *Mine idea included* *Phase jump inhibor idea* in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

When i first played entranchment i played as the TEC and was looking through the Tech tree and saw the new Beam weapon upgrade and down where it lists the affected units it says, "Star Bases improved. All" Which made me think that there was more than one type of starbase for each faction, sadly there wasn't, but on that thought There could be. We could keep the current ones and make them more of a Small outpost and then have true starbasses that can only be built in gravity wells that don't h

Reply to How About This: Mines Kill ALL!!! in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I didn't feel it was nescasary to go into specifics and exactly how the mines would work, but seems it was needed. I assume that instead of a general "don't blow up" signal the mines would probably need a password of sorts. Again, its not really that hard. So allied ships would have to broadcast something like this, "Bravo9445-T64Zeta, Temprorary disarm, Standby. This message would need to be on the right frequency and directed at a specific spot on the mine, and it would need to be d

Honestly people, you don't need a credit card, a debit card works fine, and those are so easy to get. Go to the nearest bank and open an account and but the 20$ in it and you will get a debit card in days. If that is to hard then get a job at burger king, they give you a debit card so that they can pay you. Hell there is even a thing called a "Only 1 prepaid visa card" Its a card designed for people who need to purchase things over the internet and such, and who can't get real debit or credit

Reply to TEC Starbase Graphic Mess up in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Well i figured out how to get a picture up. As you can see the green box moved out from the top and went to the side. Also if you view the starbase from behind like (Camera looking at starbase-Starbase_green box) the green box dissapears. ITs only visable from about 180 degrees. <img src="http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq92/silveussama/starbase.jpg" alt=""

Reply to A Few Entrenchment Bugs and/or Glitches in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I noticed that the TEC starbase builds trade ships and the first 2-3 work fine, but the remaining ones just stand there and never move. And if your starbase can also build ships the build ships sometimes get stuck inbetween the trade ships.

TEC Starbase Graphic Mess up in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I just got the beta a few hours ago and started playing as advent and then moved over to TEC. I noticed a few bugs but most of them are obvious, so i figured some one else would mention them (And they did). Then i ran into a little graphic bug with the TEC starbase. On the top of the star base where it builds ships there is the glowing square, Well for some reason that moved outside of my starbase and is now set up about where the trading docks would be. I have a picture

Atlantica online was mentioned, I haven't played it before but i see lots of adds for it. They have a thing going where if you play it and get to level 50 (Not sure how hard that is) and descide you don't like it they will give you 50 Dollars for your character. My freind did it and it worked out well, no hassle.

Reply to SOSE badly needs a Scenario/Story line in single player mode!!! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hmm. I disagree. I think Video games are primarily a way to tell a story, just in an interactive way. With exceptions, no matter what you do in the game, it won’t change the story. It doesn't matter if you play defensively, offensively, use

Reply to SOSE badly needs a Scenario/Story line in single player mode!!! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

That might have been one of the funniest things i have ever read. Made my day. On that note, i do agree that a story mode would be nice. Star craft had a really good story for an rts and thats one of the reasons why people claim its one of the best rts ever. Sins has the foundation for a really good story, its got 3 completly differnet races that are just begging to be explored. It would be a real shame if the game never gets into any kind of detail with the story.

I always assumed that hyperspace was just an out of Phase version of the current dimension. Your technicaly leaving the current dimension but you aren't eally goin into the next one, you inside the border. Your close enough that things with a large amount of mass and gravity can pull you back, but things like little peices of space junk wont have any effect.

Reply to Possible Entrenchment exploit in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

To answer the original question, I think your assuming the Torpedo Ships will be able to kill the starbase in a few salvos. The way i am seeing it is that the torpedo ships will not actualy do as much damage as a capital ship, or even a Kodiak/Enforcer/Crusaider, But they will be able to do it from range. The star base will be able to hit them, but not with all of its weapons, only its really long range ones. So if you do go in with nothing but Torpedo ships you will ne

Reply to I want my money back! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I think Conte Could probably get a refund. Stardock does say that if the game doesn't run you can return it, I am not exactly sure how to return a digital game but i assume its possible. Generly speaking, even if COnte's complaint didn't fall into a catagory that would allow him to return his game, stardock would probably let it happen anyway since it is customer support. The problem here is that Conte went about this in all the wrong ways. Lets assume i get sour milk from a super mar

I was personaly a little annoyed when i had to install and use impulse to get patches, not because of any problems with it, just because i didn't want to have to go through downloading something, figuring out how to use it and then installing the patch. Its generaly more work than what i wanted to put in to get a patch, but i am pretty lazy. Eventualy i moaned and groaned for a while and installed it with no problems, got my patch and even purchased Galactic civ, and have never opened i
