I have a small-ish problem: sometimes when I exit from Sins, I get a message from Windows saying that Sins has made a fatal error and needs to shut down, send a report to windows etc... It only happens after I click exit the game, so no progress is lost, and it only happens occasionally, say in 35/40% of the times I stop playing; but it seems careless to ignore the issue. I'm on patch 1.05, by the way, on Windows XP. If you need me to post the DX Diag, I can post it tomorrow.

Is the "skip cinematic" intended to cancel all intro movies? In my game, skip cinematic only disables the story cinematic, ie the general discussing the arrival of the Vasari and return of the Advent. The rest of the cinematics, stardock etc... still plays, and I kinda assumed that was the intention...

Wondering if and how you veterans use the TEC Cobalt Frigate, Vasari Ravastra Skirmicher or the Advent Deciple vessel? Because in my games against the AI (I'll wait with online play until I actually know what I'm doing...) I usually build a small fleet of them in order to secure planets with more fierce defences (3 heavy cruisers and a lot of back up), and keep building them as protection until I get access to anti-strikecraft ships and LRM frigates. After that I ignore them, but I wonder whe

I don't actually need new games. Now, if I could get a new card to replace my RADEON Sapphire 300SE, I'll burn stocks in honour of our new Trotskyist Overlords
