I think what sucks the most is Ironclad and Stardock don't really provide a system to cater to all of these interested players. They are maliciously and pathetically neglectful. Honestly, they make a dad who walks out on his newborn child look responsible.
What sucks is that Ironclad and Stardock don't care about their customers so they put out a terrible multiplayer system full of minidumps, desync bugs, and a UI with fewer useful features then a Ford Model T
[quote who="RedDwarf999" reply="73" id="3128663"]An API (application programming interface) is a way for programs to exchange information in a very scripted (hopefully well documented) fashion. So if you had a program like Blizzards Battle.net outside of Sins that program could pass Sins a request to start a 5 v 5 match and these are the id's that identify those players. When the match was over this program could communicate the results giving you the basics of a ladder (when

Yes, please don't just depend on steam to be the "catch all" service for the community, that's destined to fail.
[quote who="Yarlen" reply="45" id="3126179"]*confused* It uses Steam Friends...(or will - it may not be in your version yet).[/quote] Steam friends don't actually show you the name of the game they are in, which makes it hard to see if your friends are playing in a big 5v5, or something else. They may also be using a different ICO display name then their steam name and you can't whisper them on ICO to find out the status of their game.

The funny thing is most of these people know I play exclusively online. I don't play any mods, I never will play mods. Sins Diplomacy is stable? You must be joking. When I switched PC's I had 1.5GB (no that is not a lie) of dump files from entrenchment and diplomacy. Mmhm, I agree, quite stable.

[quote who="Ekko_Tek" reply="76" id="3123986"]So the concerns about corvettes being OP rest mostly just on 5v5 where they make it easier to defend? Or generally in cases where there will be fighting/rushes early on it seems...I've often wondered how/why 5v5 became the standard for online MP in Sins. Most RTS is 1v1 as it is easier to balance for and a more clear indicator of skill - plus imbalances are easier to spot. I kind of wonder about nerfing corvettes just because they are too good
