153 years ago, the Great Train Wreck of 1856 occured, and was the worst train disaster up to that point.

629 We're pushing them back :D edit: This thread doesn't update correctly, so I'm always one behind

Make that 626

[quote who="Szadowsz" reply="1" id="2081526"]normal AI doesn't seem to use them at all[/quote] Yes it does. I'm playing a normal game right now and several of the enemy planets have a fair amount of mines.

[quote who="supcomfan" reply="24" id="2050064"]Wow, this took an amazing turn! Post screenshots, you fools![/quote] It's been well over a year since the previous post. The game is out now, and has been for several months. Why don't you pay the $30 and see some fleets for yourself, fool?

Pssh. Everyone knows that the Asgard computer core on the Daedalus can just create a temporal stasis field around the ship. Let's see your drones try and get through that. :) More seriously, the Aurora would probably be my second choice. I generally like ships that were designed for what they're used for, and not for asthetics. Thats why I love the industrial and we-don't-care-how-ugly-our-warships-are attitude of the Alterans and us. Actually, scratch that. I'm pushing the Au

Bam. Two F-303 fighter bays, railguns, missile silos, transporters, beam weapons, an Asgard computer core, and (because this is what really matters) an awesome captain's chair. Daedalus-class battleship. Maybe not the most powerful, but it's definitely my favorite of all the various starships in all the various sci-fi shows I've watched. (obviously I didn't create this mys

Not sure if it applies to this issue, but this is what Yarlen apparently posted in another thread: Greetings all - There was something misconfigured on the server which was causing some Entrenchment installs to not work. If you fall into this category (and I imagine you know who you are) please do the following: 1) In Impulse click the Stardock logo (orb) in the upper-left and select Check for Updates (or restart Impulse). 2) Install Entrenchment no

Are you sure that vanilla Sins is patched to 1.12? If it already is, you have to remember that this is a beta. While I'm sure it's very aggravating, there was never a guarantee that it would work. The point of a beta is for users to find and report problems to the dev team. I'm sure the next beta release will fix the issue.

Gah! I just got the email, but Impulse needs to update first. And it's going extremely slowly: been sitting here for 5 minutes and it's at 0.1%. Not to be a troll or anything, but Impulse has quite a ways to go before it becomes reliable enough for me to use regularly for videogame purchases.

[quote who="nightwraith40k" reply="6" id="1931894"] (Which I have to laugh at Crytek's thinking, that they are safe from pirating in the console market)[/quote] Wait, what? All of Crytek's games have been released for the PC only. Sorry if I'm missing something here, and I probably am. Are there console ports of Crysis or something? Anyway, it's nice to see Stardock getting more and more attention in the media. It's odd that this hasn't made it to the front page.

[quote who="shadow131" reply="6" id="1926113"]just buy everyone fallout 3 who doesnt have it of course [/quote] I don't have it. The interface is too obviously designed for consoles. If I want to shoot someone's leg off, I'll do it with my own gun, not some stupid device that stops time and automagically aims for me. I know I don't have to use that feature, but it's the principle of the thing. Also, I'm more of a hardcore gamer, and the FPS part (which is the main reason I'd buy it,

Good thing this show is ending. Don't get me wrong, I loved SG-1 and Atlantis. They're my two favorite TV shows. But Atlantis should have been cancelled after season 4, when it started to die down and get repetitive. Not to mention the fact that in 5 seasons they already killed off as many characters as SG-1 did in ten. Of course, the movies should bring along exciting plot ideas that couldn't be done in the TV shows, like with Ark of Truth and Continuum.

[quote who="psychoak" reply="4" id="1909551"]That's the joy of free will. People are morons, so naturally when presented with the ability to be morons and buy a poorly designed PC, they do. Of course, you pay a nice little 40% premium on anything but baseline systems for your pretty OS, so maybe you shouldn't use my theory.[/quote] If anything, your argument should be that Macs cost too much. There's no basis for the fact that Macs are crappily built. And, just to clear th

[quote who="Vinraith" reply="2" id="1909485"]Apple thinks their decisions about what tech should be in your laptop or desktop is more important than your decision about what should be in it[/quote] And yet, my Mac Pro has more expansion space and is easier to maintain and upgrade than most average desktop PCs. I don't want to get in an OS war here (both Windows and Mac OS X have their respective advantages and disadvantages), but Apple's market share is rising, which is a fac

EDIT: Just remembered I'm using the most recent beta. I guess it doesn't work with the beta, then, huh? I'm leaving the rest of the post up in case there's someone who confirms that the mod works on the beta, making the rest of the message relevant. This mod belongs in the Mods folder in Local Settings/Application Data/Ironclad Games/Sins of a Solar Empire right? When I go into options and enable the mod, I get a minidump immediately. Since I seem the only one

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="7" id="1907454"] You know, if the Death Star II was actually finished, it would have been completly unstoppable. No little exhaust port to put a proton torpedo down. That being said, unless one of the starbases can destroy an entire galaxy, I don't think that it will be putting putting the Death Star to shame.[/quote] Well the Death Star was never designed to destroy the entire galaxy. Then the Emperor would have nothing to rule. It was just designed

[quote who="Itharus" reply="1" id="1905616"]If you ever do want an explanation of how to use the Z-Axis, I've a thread in this same forum called "Z-Axis back in 1.096?" that provides one. Peace, -Itharus[/quote] Thanks, I looked through it before I enabled that feature. Perhaps I'll look again and see if I can't figure out what's causing the issue.

It's the furlings. Definitely the furlings. (sorry to all those who don't get it, it's from Stargate SG-1)

[quote quoting="post"] The "planet elevators" I've already gotten rid of... sure, they're nice, but they don't look like real cities anyways.... what else can afford to be lost? [/quote] Let me start off by saying I have nothing useful to contribute to this topic. Second, those planet elevators do not look like cities because they're not cities. They are, in fact, planet elevators. Basically, the actual city-like things are just space stations which are connected t

EDIT: It seems this problem has vanished in a puff of smoke. Nevermind this message I know that this isn't technically beta feedback, but since this problem is caused by a feature that only the beta has, I thought it would be appropriate. A few minutes ago, I tried the Z-axis controls, which (intentionally or not) were added to 1.096. I quickly found out that I had no idea how to use them, and I shut the feature off. Or rather, I removed the keybinding for it.

[quote who="Samurye" reply="20" id="1904433"] as I said before "what if the deathstar had no vents!" [/quote] Indeed. Without that rather convenient and unlikely plot device, the rebels would have been completely wiped out, and the Empire would have ruled for millenia.
