Okay, I've never messed with capturing game play, how is that done? I'm currently playing a single solar system with 77 planets and to apponents besides myself. Pirates are turned off and I just captured thier planet. Of the the 77 planets, I nabbed 11, one apponent grabbed 12 and the other one 13, the rest aren't claimed yet, but to get to them I must attack one of my nieghbors. A tactic I'm trying out in with this game is spending less on fleet sized and more on caps. My actually fl

Honestly, I use to build my fleet up slowly and explore slowly, but that was back when I was playing version 1.05. Since the upgrades, I came back in and have read up on different tactics and stategies. Yes, the very first thing I do is build my cap sation and then the cap. While this is going on, I've built 3-5 scouts and 1 colony ship and 5 light frigets. Like everyone else I want to see the entire picture of what's around me, so the scouts are set to auto and I just look to see what's what

Now I don't want to come off as a whiner. Nobody, myself included likes a whiner! But I sometimes wonder if the AI cheats!? Case in scenerio.... Last year when I frist purchased Sins, I was able to play Version 1.01 and 1.05 in "normal" mode and win. These were smaller campaings, usually just one star 10-15 planets, one or two apponents and the pirates active. It was challenging and fun. I put the game "down" for a while last fall, as my elderly mother's illness took a turn for the wo

No, I never atttempted to do anything in paused mode. I'm usually busy running for another bucket of coffee or somplace so I can make room for more coffee when it's paused. Honestly, I've never tried using the grouping by number key feature. So, I doubt I've had that problem. Now I have tried the fifth method you mentioned. Where a cap has a fleet symbol, and then I select a group of other ships to join this fleet, by right clicking on the fleet symbol. Now those addtional ships will

Thank you soooo much! Yes I do organize sub fleets within the scope of my entire fleet. I just reciently upgraded to Trinity. I'm playing my first campaign in Entrenchment. So I've created a small fleet of scout/garda's for mine clearing. I'd like to make an addition the carrier fleets by adding some cielo's to that fleet as well. Finally I'll make a small fleet of hoshi's. Most fleets I make at least one cap will be a dunov, and the cielo's are to keep the dunov working so it can protect the

I don't know what the the heck I'm doing wrong, but I'm having issues creating fleets. For personal preference only, I usually like to make a cap ship my fleet leader. Let's say I've a few frigats and some cruisers already built, and then I build a cap. 1)I've tried designating the cap as a fleet leader and right click the auto join on. But only ships being built AFTER the cap was, will auto join. 2)I've tried moving all ships, with non marked as leader into a small area, then

I have a store bought copy of Sins. Played it extensively last year. Noticed at that time when I was involved in large battles system slowed down. I chalked that up to an older video card. I replaced my ATI 9600 with an ATI HD 3850. If I thought the game looked great on the 9600, it was utterly fantatic with the 3850! I played like this for a while, but life interupted and I put this and most of my gaming on the back burner. Reciently I had my hard drive crash. I replaced my hard driv

New player here. I've only been playing Sins for about 3 weeks now. A friend gave me a shareware disk he got with a magazine, I loved it so much I went out and bought a copy so I could upgrade to v1.16. Before starting this thread I did the wise thing and read through several of the forums and even did a search on "fleet" issues. And I now see that I'm not the only one having issues when trying to create fleets, especially when you're trying to do something creative like have one flee
