Screenshots! Yes! That would be an awesome thing! OK, now is the BETA even close yet? I wouldn't mind knowing if the Beta is coming anytime soon.

I am sure they will do it for sins 2 but for a stand alone expansion using the old engine, no. Not a chance.

Reply to Rebellion is Upon Us: The Next Chapter of Sins of a Solar Empire Unveiled at GDC 2011 in Sins News Sins Forums

I am hoping that perhaps we can have a few more resources than just Metal and Crystal..... even just a third would be enhancing. Spies would also be something that "should" be in the game but are not.... I wish we could steal technology or some other info/resource with perhaps an "assassinate leader" option.... Another interesting idea is a reasearch lockout... where choosing one path eliminate certain other paths up research... IE: The Advent's "belief system" restrains its o

Reply to Advent Progenitor Cap fails to use abilty in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

OK so autocast is then only concerned with the fleets shields and not its own preservation??? Dang odd coding there! I understand many like to micromanage, but I do like to be able to setup a little automation for the more mundane tasks.... the way I was planning to use the ability is now useless.... Poor unit AI is tolerable, but poor command AI is just unacceptable in a modern rts.... Maybe increase the AI would over load too many "common" compute

Reply to Advent Progenitor Cap fails to use abilty in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Just to confirm... The autocast NEVER fires off the Shield Regen ability. I have confirmed this even to the point of turning off all other autocasts and with full reserves of AM the ship never once used this ability right to its very destruction.... Look I am fine with a little microing, but some basic things like expecting the ship to actually use an ability set on autocast is not too far fetched is it?

If your system just crashed not doing anything then I think your problem may be with your windows 7 install.... As noted update all drivers for your system as this may help.

Advent Progenitor Cap fails to use abilty in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

I realise that most people use this cap only to conquer planets early and thus the shield regen ability doen't get used too often.... However when it is used this ability is useless! The AI for the ship doesn't EVER seem to use the ability unless the ship has been "crushed" already. It should work in such a way that once the shields drop below 50% the ability should fire.... it doesn't... so you'd think once your shield are down it would fire... it doesn't...

Reply to [DEVS READ]The AI and siege frigates - messed up and irritating beyond belief in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Maybe this is just too simple a fix, but I was thinking a upgrade in their ship armor would be one area to improve.... make em tougher to kill... the other idea was having the AI mix in another craft type as an escort.... maybe having 1 less siege frigate and 2-3 others ships as escorts... it wouldn't be a huge improvement, but I think bewteen better defense, and a small military escort the tactics in place would be more effective and less wasteful. Also, if the Seige frigates h

Entrenchment players CAN choose between original or expansion pack versions to host! If you meant going back and forth without restarting then I would agree.

Reply to Capital ship crews in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

My only compaint is point allotments being limited... why can't I have full 3 pts in a given ability before choosing a second one? That always irritated me.... I can understand cap limits on abilities... but preventing you from going a straight 3 in one is illogical.... Its not like the best abilities could be spammed early game either since the ships can't produce antimatter quick enough to make it a huge deal, but would lend to a bit more variety in game play and t

Reply to Next Sins Expansion? in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

Probably the third expansion will include the first two as well and sell in stores for $29 on a cd/dvd - That is unless they have a sequal in mind which would also be good. My only complaint is that the content should be rolling out a little faster if these are only "micro" expansions....

Reply to Sieges - Does anyone even use them online? in Strategy Sins Forums

I wouldn't mind seeing something like a shield upgrade to be honest..... They don't have to be cheaper or more powerful... just last a lot longer when being hammered..... Like an old B-29 that could take thousands of rounds and still fly home with missing parts of tails and wings.... excellent survivability is all that really is needed... maybe the sieges frigates shields could extend in a radius from the ship. If those "extended range shields" could also stack with each ot

My only note is that most EULAs today expressly prohibit the resale of the game and only authorize the original purchaser to install the game....

I have also heard it mentioned that if impulse was ever to "go under" that Stardock would release a downloadable update(s) at that t
