ROFL - I have seen the CEO on Stardock engage in a debate with user's who criticise his company. He doesn't ban them. He either listens to their criticism if valid, or corrects their mis-conception (e.g. about Impulse) due to a short coming of their understanding. Go look at some OTHER forums if you want to see what banning is like, or content being suppressed etc....

As for the launching of nuclear missiles etc... Don't they require a security turn key to enable the launch circuits? I wasn't aware a virus could do that....

I can see what Siddy is getting at. While they don't do much damage, the flak do do damage and can take a pounding due to HP and armor. The 360 field of fire also helps them. And he is also right about taking them out with LF not working. LF will not be able to take out the flak effectively until the LRM are gone. The only way to do this is with LRM or HCs since the flak will thin out the fighters fairly quickly. And noted - Siddy now has 5 karma due to getting +

[quote]Yeah that would not work at all... all you would need is some one to take a dislike to ya for a reason known only to them, And they would get you band, then 3 months later get you band again, and again.

Even if Siddy is correct about the flak/LRM combo (I'm not agreeing or disagreeing - just assuming he is for the sake of this argument), SC still have a place when fighting enemy starbases as your fleet can stay out of range of their starbase and let the SC kill the starbase. This assumes that you have no enemy fleet in system to oppose you...

Not sure - the size (225.9) seems about correct. I think the 1.4Gb is the total installed base - of which you have some of it already done!!! I think the version number is 1.16.051 :D

[quote]I'm pretty sure I've had negative credit growth. The opps took over everything I had, I still had a crystal extractor, and one of my allies scuttled an asteroid for me to take over. I didn't have enough credits for an upgrade and my credits drained to zero. They loaned me 1000 crystal and I quickly bought the upgrade before it drained again.[/quote] Your income counted DOWN to 0. It did not go BELOW 0. Big difference.

[quote]These are the kind of attitudes that keep me away from Multiplayer. Do the multiplayer people forget about the singleplayer community? Any changes made to the multiplayer aspect effect the whole game, not just multiplayer. Does that mean that I'm a worse player because I only play with friends, or against the AI, or with friends against the AI? Does that mean I have no opinion worth listening to in such threads? Based on what you've said, my opinion is worthless because I'm not competi

I would like to point out that the Sins community (MP community) is mostly adults - AFAIK most are mid 20s to mid 30s. Kids like shoot them ups as they have shorter attention spans :D Most of the veterens are generally not that bad until someone comes shooting their mouth off. They then get learned good and hard either in the lobby and/or in the game...

OK 1) Impulse lets you restore an archive file without re-downloading it 2) If you copy the game to the folder where Impulse wants to re-install Sins, it may just add the required reg settings AND only patch the delta due to the way Impulse works 3) Wait until someone is in the office on Monday to look at your support ticket. Assuming you posted this 18 hours after submitting the ticket (to stardock rather then Ironclad I assume as this is an Impulse issue), you submit
