Choose a random map of any size and you won't have this problem.

That's not how it works with Impulse, mavericka. The serial is tied to your account you've created on Impulse. So you could install the game on one computer, then have the computer stolen, buy another computer, login to Impulse and redownload the game with all updates available.

[quote quoting="post"](PC's are the reason consoles exist)[/quote] I think you're forgetting about the Atari 2600. That console was immensely popular way before PC gaming was. Came out in 1976 or 1977, I forget exactly when. My own two cents are that PC's are far better: more customizable, better graphics, and just more potential to push them to the limits of gaming or whatever.

I'll assume you're playing single-player only at this point. Start by playing on a small map; either a random generated one or something like Point Blank. Play as TEC. On a small map you will only have one or two computer opponets. Set them to Easy or whatever the lowest difficulty setting is. Opening strat generally, for me anyways is: 1) Build Crystal extractors 2) Build Capital Ship factory 3) Queue up a capital ship (usually a Kol or

[quote who="CenturionJixra" reply="3" id="2043413"] The problem with your argument is that the online multiplayer "pros" and many of the online multiplayer players who are merely above average would steamroll over the single player "pros" if they ever played against each other. I'm not saying this to make anyone feel badly; I'm just telling it like it is.[/quote] I don't doubt what you're saying there Centurion. The point of my post was to point out the stupidity of po

Generally it's Druidia, sometimes Carl Homeworld is Cygnus X-1, first cap ship is Rocinante

[quote who="L9000" reply="19" id="1986616"]Im gonna word it the way competitive players feel about it: There are 2 kinds of players, PROS and NOOBS. NOOBS want a story. PROS want to POWN in multiplayer!! Its the Competitive (PROS) players that keep the game alive year after year. This happens in Multiplayer not in story mode... [/quote] Good argument! I'm gonna try to rebut: Ummm, hmmmm, what's a go

Thanks folks for all the input. I think I'm pretty well convinced I'll get the game along with its expansions. I've been looking for a package deal and I see that Stardock has all three downloadable for about $60. However, I see that Amazon.com has a release date of an 'Ultimate Edition' that will be released mid-February that they have listed for $39.99. Of course, I never trust Amazon's release dates but hopefully it'll be out soon. Thanks again for all the comments. Also, I tried t

Hey there, got a question for Sins and GalCivII owners. Currently I own and play Sins and Civilization 4 (with Beyond the Sword expansion). Civ4 sort of takes care of the turn based empire building, trade and diplomatic strategy gaming while Sins gives me that real-time strategy only on a much larger scale gaming type of fix. I've heard and read a lot about GalCivII and its expansions and have seen them win many awards and so on (and I have some extra Best Buy gift cards from Christmas that a

[quote who="epiclulz" reply="6" id="2009341"] Nope. The game's resale value is gone since it can't be updated, upgraded or played online.[/quote] And again false. The game's original owner can update, upgrade, and play online to his heart's content. If someone buys it second-hand, they can update, upgrade, and play multiplayer over LAN all the way up to version 1.05. And of course they can continue to install and uninstall, install and uninstall on any and all computers in the wo

[quote who="epiclulz" reply="3" id="2009206"] Once you register the game the resale value is gone, so there's only one install. [/quote] False again. Once you register the game you can continue installing over and over again on one computer or all the computers in the world. And then you can go sell the game to somebody and then they can install over and over again on one computer or all the computers in the world. And then they can sell the game to somebody....and so on and

This is the game that brought me back to Real Time Strategy (I've played almost nothing but World of Warcraft the last 3 years). 1)Fantastically easy resource management 2)No need to micromanage anything but I have the option to do so if I want 3)Graphically very pleasing 4)Many civil elements involved away from warmongering 5)Moves at a slow enough pace that I can manage my empire without feeling pressured 6)The camera maneuvering is outstandin

[quote who="epiclulz" reply="19" id="2009056"] EA provides more installs than Stardock does, [/quote] False. You can install SoaSE on all the computers in the world using the same disc. And every single one of them would be playable at the very same time. This is not possible with EA games. Furthermore, you can install and uninstall SoaSE on the same computer over and over again until you die, without using the CD key once. And of course it's playable every single

[quote who="ReadyMan" reply="9" id="2008241"] One thing I cant seem to find: Is there a command to add a ship to a control group? (or fleet? I'm used to shift/control group # to add ship to an existing group)[/quote] What I do is create fleets. When a new ship is built you can select it and then right-click on the lead ship of that fleet. The lead ship will have a ^ symbol above it's icon in the Empire tree to the left. No matter where in the universe that fleet
