If she wanted to show sexism in a game, then i think the advent have more ammo than she could ever use.... I do think it is funny how she is blaming one sex (males) for how sexist the world is... gotta love happy stupid people

[quote who="Notorious Grime" reply="223" id="2337458"]Half of an organic apple will provide more nutrition than a full GMO apple. But then there are health risks with GMO foods. The amount food is not a problem. It's the amount of food being consumed thats the problem. People are over eating. GMO's currently provide a problem more than a fix but i'm sure as research continues one day there will be perfectly healthy GMO food. [/quote] 1 billion people wh

Ok, so what do you think would be the best 4-ability set for a cap ship? It can go across races. For example: Missle Barrage, Malice, Cleansing Brilliance, And Volatile Nanites on a Radiance Battleship frame [e digicons]}:)[/e] Edit: Assume all of the abilities are at their highest levels

"Human population, he observed, increases at a geometric rate, doubling about every 25 years if unchecked, while agricultural production increases arithmetically—much more slowly. Therein lay a biological trap that humanity could never escape." Thomas Malthus realized
Procrastination is the art of wasting time, the only thing that really matters in the end. Wasting time is wasting life... it is wasting breath. WE as you refer to are not the same as WE were a THe Beginning, because WE were unaware.... and now WE are unaware and older... as far as time can be used to judge the length of existence.

To clarify my statement on psychology, there is no "psychology of the masses". In psychology, there are 3 generally accepted levels: the brain, the person, and the group. How big to make "the group" is determined by the person performing the study. Psychology literally means "The study of the psyke". So the "psychology" of the masses would simply mean to study EVERYBODY'S mind, not what those people believe. What they believe would be their mindset, hence "the mindset of the people"</
You could go to cyberpowerpc.com or ibuypower.com Those sites (and many others) will let you pick which pieces to put in your rig, and it will come pre-assembled. I would recommend a core i7 920 CPU, an Asus p6t motherboard, at least 3gb of RAM (ddr3), A 1tb hard drive, and a power supply with 700 watts or more (antec, corsair, or bfg prefferably) For graphics cards, it really depends on what resolution you are going to be playing at.

Notorious, the "psychology of the masses" you reference has almost nothing to do with politics. And psychology is a science, it is the study of the mind. If you mean the mindset of the people, then you have a limited point. You mentioned that if one hears many people say the same thing they will accept it to be true. This was confirmed in a experiment on group compliance, in which, people were asked to judge which line of several was the longest. The first answers were given (inc
It's not that the 2 infra upgrades are too expensive or anything, but with nothing other than those upgrades, the planet is producing less than 1 cred/sec because of its low allegiance. So culture is necessary, and why not trade ports? And now the planet is a culture producing trade-route planet, so it needs repair bays and some hangars. This is why it seems better to just not colonize them. If you are winning, it's not worth it. If you are losing, a planet very far from your
Everyone gets screwed by the map now and then, it happens. But in large MP games, you have teamates to help you with this. Eaqualization would be nice, it's just that random maps are supposed to be random. It's not so much the idea that is bad, it really is a good concept, but it might be over-generalized. If everyone starts with the same few planets round them, ok, but how long until people start complaining that the planets past that inital ring are unfairly distributed? Or
The problem with this is that if it is hard coded that certain things will always happen, then the game (at least the beginning) will become almost formulaic: Do this, then this, then this... If anybody plays supreme commander, then you know that symetrical maps get reeeealllly boring after awhile since the same things happen in every game. I know that symetry is not what is being promoted here, but on small random maps, if these things are implemented then a large portion of the map

[quote who="JuleTron" reply="32" id="2334405"] Also, the build-time reduction bonus of the Egg's colonise ability should be removed. Build time is largely irrelevant is sins. It should be changed to give 1/2/3 extra contructors. [/quote] The best idea yet for the egg's ability. About the turning radius, i have a feeling that it is more linked to the physics of the game than the AI for the ability. As it is, ships have to move forward to turn and if they are going fas
The problem is that colonizing planets that add very little to your economy seems superfluos, like an extra step. If i am playing as TEC i just nova-nuke them so that the enemy can't re-colonize them. And cykur, you have a point that your fleet should continue to attack the enemy as the planet is being colonized, but if you have pushed them back that far then you are sure to win very soon and the planet doesn't matter. This is the problem, it either doesn't matter or is an ann
Sins (if i'm not mistaken) is not multithreaded, so it does not take advantage of multiple cores very well. If sins is running on one core and maxing it out then the game will crawl. You can set the core affinity of processes with the task manager and move sins to a core with less activity on it and see if that helps things. What you can also try is defragmenting your hard drive, the sins menu always stutters for me if i get lazy with my defrags. Lastly, you can lower all the
Play on smaller maps first, just to get a feel for the online game (which is vastly different than single player). Smaller games will usually be over in an hour or less, depending on how stubborn you and your opponent are [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]
Now yng, may i call you yng?, you speak volumes of truth, but you do not yet understand what that means. To be true is to exist in fact, but fact is subjective so existence is subjective If existence is subjective then one who is on a path must realize that the path may or may not exist, that the path may in fact be the main road and not a path at all. Truth: Subjective existence: The realization of Self: Breath: The binding ingredient. Everything must breathe, a relea
@HouseCorrino: Do you know what ships counter other ships? Most ships have a damage bonus against certain other ships, for example: Long range frigates/lrfs (TEC Javelis, Vasari Assailant, Advent Illuminator) are VERY good against light frigates/lfs Bomber strikecraft are very good against planetary structures, capital ships, and heavy cruisers/Hcs Fighter strikecraft are good against siege frigates, bombers, and they do alright against lrfs and lfs</li

Congrats, you just gave up either free strike craft supremacy (TK push) or a massive damage buff to all your frigates (amplification aura) to gain... at best fifty-five extra strike craft. That's five and a half squads worth. Plus 30% you got 8 squads. That's less than buying three extra drone hosts. Second
