Capt_Siddy, I love reading your posts. I may find your points unbelievable, your grammar and spelling atrocious for a downs syndrome kid, and your reasoning asinine, but the way you choose to express yourself cracks me right the f*** up.

Huge maps.

I opened Impulse to buy Demigod today (downloading now) and it told me I had an update for vanilla. Well, the update was v1.16 (which I got last week). And it said my current version was 1.05. Now, the update dates for vanilla and entrenchment were 4/22/09 and 3/19/09 respectively, which are the dates I updated to 1.16 and bought entrenchment for a friend, again, respectively. After installing the update, the vanilla update date has not changed. Seems to be wor

Ok. I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around a phase missile swarm that doesn't use phase missiles. I think I may try changing the ability to deploy a platform for a couple seconds which launches the phase missile salvos. Unless someone knows already that cannot work.

How could using steal to mean "conduct in a clandestine manner" have /any/ relevance to you cheating people out of their hard earned money. C'mon. Maybe you're Blaster and I'm Mel Gibson and some midget is running around yelling "Who run bartertown?!?!" but I was hoping you were Tina Tu

Inserting this WeaponClassType "PHASEMISSILE" crashes convertdata and also causes a minidump.

Awesome, thank you. As for them being phase missiles, in the ability entity it says type MISSILE not PHASE MISSILE, which leads me to believe they are just missiles.

How much difference in graphics will I have if I have a 512MB card and not a 700-

Ok, I figure the modders are the people to ask this, Why isn't phase missile swarm a phase missile attack? Mistake on the programmers' part? intentional? Question 2. Below I've pasted the entity file for phase missile swarm converted with the convertdata_originalsins proggy. Which are the parameters that specify damage output? (200/400/600 per target) I think i've identified what every line does, and I think I can find every published

I find phase out hull to be useful when you're outnumbered or when one of your important ships is being focus fired. Phase out your ship, distort gravity, and run away. The opfor chases your running ships, and when your ship phases back in it has a head start to get the hell out. Repair cloud complements the overseer wonderfully. I think people say the abilities are crap when they don't know how to use it. Even the maurader's ninja ability is useful in the right

[quote who="LansecAlting" reply="22" id="2106957"]You'd have to compare Phase Missile Swarm to Radiation Bomb. Also, the Vulkoras' Phase Missile Swarm does not go through shields with phase missile research, however much I wish they would ;-;[/quote] Phase missile swarm doesn't bypass shields like all other phase missiles?

you don't like the South American barrio motif? No, but really, good thinking it just turns out to not be as stellar concept in practice.

Can I just pay for it now and have impulse install it when it's ready? No really, I start a new job at the end of June and 80 hour weeks are the norm, and this is totally the kind of thing I would forget about without having time to check the forums. And then I'd pissed when I get a weekend off in November and it's been out since september, and there are 4 days I could've been playing it . . . anyway, please?

Now, according to IP laws, by posting this stuff are pretty much ensuring that it can't happen because IC could never prove they came up with the idea? Oh well, if you like it, baby it's free. i scanned some of the previous posts, sorry if I repeat. I think the logical sequel to an entrenchment game is a trench-busting game. But do you really want to go there? I dunno. Sins and entrenchment both do such a great job of not being about who

No, you misunderstood that completely. Strike craft are always good. Heavy cruisers are always good. But if your upgraded fleet was simply two caps, 28 enforcers, and 10 sentinels, then you brought a spoon to a knife fight. What I mentioned before should be about the same supply cost, and the strikecraft can go harass the sb while your ships stay out of range. So, if that fleet was the best you could put together, then I think what I listed would have been a be

Ogrovs look like buckytubes and fire HUGE missiles that make HUGE booms. Adjudicators look like metallic starfish. I don't where there's a spreadsheet that has all of the entrenchment data on it. That would be nice. And your fleet was insufficient for the task. I know, 28 enforcers and 10 sentinels seems like a lot, but in the grand scheme, not so much. I'm guessing you were probably at a stage in the game where you should have had 15 assai

[quote who="db0" reply="25" id="2177616"]@Vespucci First: You're picking and choosing dictionary definitions that fit your arguments. Second: You can easily fall into an equivocation fallacy through perfectly accurate dictionary definitions. If you want to use dictionary definitions then first state which meaning of stealing you use and then we can discuss if it's harmful or not. Are you using the definition of "to appropriate ideas without ri

They commit crimes for the purpose of getting away with it? I like to think that's not what you meant. Yeah, dude, I don't speed to get places faster, I do it because it's illegal. Maybe teenagers of alcoholic mothers are like that. WTF? You're reaching pretty far now. Peo

[quote who="db0" reply="22" id="2177574"] Quoting Farcon, reply 19 You may twist and turn it around as long as you want. Frogboy's definition of a thief is someone who plays Demigod without paying for it. However Frogboy wants to define a "thief" it still does not make it accurate. I can say that people who don't give me a 1000$ are thieves. Does that make it so? Of couse not. But you're accepting a similar arbitrary definition and then arguing against stealin
