I see it a bit differant because the way I see it if you have the money you will always be able to spec a PC higher than a console. There is the case that the console doesnt have lots of other stuff to deal with but Im sure in the future there will be ways to deal with that such as having an alternate login to the windows login where its just a basic system booted up specific for gaming on the PC. I admit though if the way some publisgers are marketting things for the PC doesnt change then thing

I dont think PC gaming is dying but I can still see what you are getting at.(Could go bad for PC gaming if companies like Microsoft through time keep going with baby steps to make gaming a constant subscription based service, dont no about you people but gamings costing me heaps these days and half the time its all hype and Im paying £40 for less than 5 hours play sometimes) I happen to have 5 PCs some of them good and tbh good graphics are over-rated but thats what many want. I have found mysel

RedMaw I am in the process of reading your post , only got through the first 2 paragraphs and know its exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for . I have yet to research the javelis and kodiaks. Im probably wrong here but could have sworn I read someonewhere that the LRMS were nerfed? Either way Im going to try what you suggest. One final thing what are those Flak Frigates(They seem quite expensive and not too effective tbh but Im probably using them wrong or at the wrong time or ev

I think you should be fine also , at least you should get optimum running through altering a few things. By the way give the game a chance :) I wasnt sure when I started playing but once you get a rough idea of the challenges you will start to appreciate the game. In saying that I am a complete strat newbie so good chance you will do well straight away :). I guess Im just hoping for many newbies into the game so I can get some decent games MP in the future :)

Hi, have been getting on much better in SP but one race I have trouble with is advent. I think the reason is because as TEC Im using the wrong ship types to counter certain advent ships. I know there is charts but tbh even those are getting debated and Im really just wanting generalisations to start with and make my own findings to a point. Also the big strategy guide provided on here although its very well written , I am still getting to grips with the shorthand abbreviations for ships

Although I dont agree with the way this person went about their initial post well I suppose Verkinix does have a point. I intially thought have a button where you can put the exact amount of credits or whatever in but it could indeed be exploited and Im guessing thats why sins was designed the way it is.

[quote]You can get baby bearded dragons at almost any pet store. [/quote] I went with a friend to buy a fully grown one , the person at the petshop said they are tame and my friend held one, they are massive .......I was like a scared pup lol but they seem really melo creatures in hindsight. Yeah bearded dragons from what Ive been told are probably the best house pet lizards you could get. [quote]I work with and train raptors (eagles, owls, and the like), [/quote] Woul

Such threads more often than not degenerate into flamewars and do nothing to engender friendship and camaraderie among fellow players; in fact they often do the opposite and drive players away.

Ow this is bad! I am so sick of greedy corporations but only a extreme minority take a stand so nothing will change. Corporations in my view are aiming to get the net split eventually so that only the rich have access to the best part of it and everyone else is severly limited.

[quote]Please don't try and make the argument that clicking the fastest is considered strategy. After all, generals issue orders--they shouldn't have to baby-sit units. Especially when units are considered "trained" units.[/quote] Exactly theres hundreds of button bash strats out there so why aim to make this game just like them? Really great game and forums I may say(Something I can seldom say :)) but this whole issue of turning sins to generic rubbish is worrying me!

Brilliant attitude :) I need say nothing thats how I see things as well especially about powering through a game then "Ow what now? Nothing" Im here for enjoyment as well and what worrys me is everythings going down the road of less enjoyment orientated and more speed gaming based on exact maths formulae to get the best way period as opposed to just having fun and through not knowing exact formulae a variety of different strategies cant be proved as non viable and you have a much more diverse g

[quote]Wouldn't it be so much simpler to tell people to put their PC IPs under DMZ? [/quote] I use DMZ sometimes but it is in-secure and I think with people using port scanners etc if you have everything open for a length of time you will get targetted at some point. Doesnt even mean you could be targetted in a way thats making your PC have problems , perhaps just information stealing and that is a big problem. Sorry about double post .....no edit button :(

Thanks Monk :) Yeah appreciate the reply, and the fact you just took it as curiosity.(I like to learn about computing/networking related stuff :) ) Im going to be getting into networking in quite a big way at uni , seems like it is going to be difficult but very interesting. I actually think I understand the point you are making though. For all the speel about NAT its not often you hear of people mentioning about packet inspection. Noted regarding P2P, never thought of it that way :) ,

Commander whats the best TEC ships to take out the disciple ships of advent? Please forgive if Im mis-interpretting some of the abbreviations its just what does kol stand for? See this used alot in some of the guides and I will be better of when I get accustomed to the abbreviations .......see I told you me = total newbie :))

Ive posted alot on these forums as of late and am new and I think I will give it a rest (posting) for a day or so :) . I dont want to hijack the thread but the OP has got someone training them . Although I would like that , I would be happy just to have a MP game with another newbie, that way we could pick stuff up of each other, or even play with a clan member or something who now and again could fire out the odd tip. Either way if anyone wants a game PM me if you want. Anyways away in game and

This crap happens in every MP game :( Im sorry to hear this, if what you say is true well I would rather see balance in every faction. Problem is you have true veterans who think in the context of the game as a whole and others who are simply outclassed by a better player, cant handle it and say that their advesaries ships are overpowered. I dont know yet since I havent played enough MP but at least I realise Im a newbie and dont have the skill to be saying a thing needs nerfed , problem is you

Problem is every router while being similiar can have their own unique problems. I have owned many routers now and like people have said it takes a bit of reading sometimes. I am not having any problems but recently I bought a linksys router and it kept disconnecting, sometimes regular , sometimes not so regular but random, I upgraded the firmware..........same problem. a month or so had went by and eventually I found a firmware that wasnt mentioned on the linksys site, seemed dodgy but I applie

I realise sins is a whole differant situation but in city of heroes if a player got DCed in a task force they could rejoin when the re logged. Total differeant networking setup though but Im sure there is perhaps a way where it can be achieved in sins. Just thinking about it though I can see it would be difficult, would need to have some method of rentry into the game plus some reliable way of logging a players state at the time of DC. ALthough it would involve alot of work and be tric

I must admit Im loving single player but I see that as practice for when I take the plunge and join a clan for MP , I am a complete strat newbie but not PC newbie and Im hoping multiplayer gets just as much focus tbh as thats where I see the true replay value to lie. I have heard about the MP problems but I will just be waiting in good faith until the fix the problems with patches. On a slightly differant note I can totally agree with what some are saying regarding attitudes in MP, that

[quote]Creativity requires a huge amount of room to realize. IronClad has already said that there's no room in their company for 'administrators', and that's the kind of thing that an acquisition by a large company like EA would impose[/quote] Hehe I like that quote I must admit :) good points all around though!

[quote]One thing that's not such a good idea (just in my opinion) is to post it in the public forums and flag it up in the title for everyone to see, because there are plenty of people out there that won't hesitate to use the bug/exploit when they're being outplayed, or even just don't feel like trying too hard for a few games, and we end up with a lot of multiplayer games that get ruined.[/quote] Just my view of what was said , which doesnt make it correct but the point is follow the a

I in no way shape or form can code like you folks :) knowhere near but It figures the kind of targetting you are aiming for would be a complete knightmare! Getting a game out with reviews like it has recieved with what is maybe arguably quite a small publisher is no small feat. Im sure you folks will get it :) as I imagine to get a game to the current standard is an astronomical task in itself! So many combinations of situations which targetting must encompass , man that sounds one ugly coding j

Thats an extremely well written guide. Still new here and I think I will be for some time lol Nice job!

Newbie here :) since starting on sins I have seen numerous mention and pictures of pink space ponies lol. Im just curious how did it all start and what was the reasoning. I read somewhere it started in beta? but what Im curious about is was it the case someone thought okay lets just think up a clan that is basically for a bit of fun? or is there some deeper reason for all this? Just curious is all :) and good luck with recruiting and what not everyone!

Below is text taken from recruitment request for a clan and Ive moved it out to this one thread so many clans can more clearly see the thread and see if Im suitable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, Just thought I would voice my interest in your clan. Heres the situation, Im 28 years of age, I am looking for a relaxed easy going bunch of people with minimal bicke
