Reply to Star Wars Rebellion in Everything Else Sins Forums

I loved the copy I had. Played it heaps. It didn't have any cut scenes in my version for some strange reason..... I only ever played the computer though as 1) Getting 2 players together back then was an issue due to lack of network connectivity 2) Having the time required to play it (since we both had to fast forward for that bit to work....) I was hoping Empire At War would be more like it, but with the current visuals of EaW.... The battles could have

Reply to Running the game off a Flashdrive? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Will that effect Games for Windows certification, or does it just bypass it totally due to not storing the data locally? Also, what happens if I am not connected to the Internet?

Reply to Goldlist of Players - Player Skill Track List in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

[quote]Lol, but that list could go on forever...besides, I was told to not single anyone out (remember the blacklist?) By the way, I think it would be hilarious to have Tin, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Perhaps the worst of the worst could be plaid.[/quote] So would Bronze be Gold, Platinum or Diamond??? Surely he isn't Silver or Bronze??? :D

Reply to i wana join a clan in Sins Clans Sins Forums

Always glad to have newcomes. They are always welcome. The point I want to make here (without wanting to desuade people from playing MP and looking to join a clan) is that the experienced players basically want to make sure they know what they are facing so the teams aren't really unbalanced as that isn't fun for anyone. Hence why the more competitive clans won't let you just join. They want to gauge your skill first :)

Reply to If You Could Only Play 3 Games This Year in PC Gaming Sins Forums

I've almost exclusively played Sins on the PC for the last year. Just the Gal Civ 2 Ultimate for those quiet nights when Sins is not happening (Australian nights <> US/Europe prime time) :( So those two are on the list. Not sure what #3 would be - was thinking about TW:Empire, but have been put off with how poorly the demo ran on my PC (Q6600, 8GB, 3870X2, Vista Ultimate 64). Plus all the bugs that people are reporting...

Reply to Apparently no criticism of Stardock is allowed.. is called blasting and they ban you. You may be next, but SD has your money in Forum Issues Sins Forums

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....

[quote]If we were to set the date in our computers back a month, to say March 1st, would we be able to avoid the attack (temporarily)?[/quote] Experts don't think it will work as the virus will be getting the date and time from an internet time server (which WILL be correct) and ignoring the local system clock... 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....

Reply to Flak is overpovered in Strategy Sins Forums

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 +
