I've lost the disk for Sins. I know, for most games people would just say "ah damn, i'll have to get another one" or just stop playing, but I really like Sins, and since it's available for download online, is there anyway I can transfer my game from this computer to my new one, because this one I can barely play on, and on the lowest settings.
I have Entrenchment 1.03. In a game I was playing, one of my AI enemies apparently tried to just move to the next planet without using phase travel. It just tried to move there. It almost made it all the way there when for some reason it just turned around and started coming back. This happen to anyone else? I thought there was a limit to how far out you could go from the gravity well.
1. Your pretty much right, except fighters are also good against seige frigates, scouts, basically just most small frigates. I am pretty sure bombers cannot attack fighters. 2. Trade centers make trade ships, which make money by travelling to other trade stations. You want to make an unbroken chain of trade centers. You can see the chain(s) by holding your mouse of the credit resource bar. But you shouldn't just put one in every grav well, you want to make long chains of them. The cha
Only 2 reasons I see. One is to give it to an ally who really needs it. Another is to do it if it is actually taking down your income and you don't have the resources to upgrade it. But besides that there is no point. Even if you know the enemy will take you you might as well leave it as it will take them time to bombard the planet completely, which will give you time to marshall your forces and drive them out. Or, if you don't drive them out, it will at least tie up their fleet for a
Its the same thing for civ labs, except its for orbital structures and not ships.
This thread fails
Quick! Everyone put your hands on your heads and get under your desks! We all know desks are completely impervious to a direct nuclear strike.
You can turn on cinematic mode. This will turn off the icons for mines, but it will also turn off the icons for everything else.
I don't think its to complicated. The ship to ship invasions yes, that would make things much too complicated. But planet invasions would be much easier to implement. And read the whole thread, we've layed out alot of ways it could work.
You could also do new research to make your troops more powerful. Like, upgrading their body armor, giving them better weapons, making the landing craft faster and better armored, things like that. Also, perhaps culture could make the planet inhabinants not fight as hard. The inhabinents of the planet could have the option to surrender, so instead of your troops having to sluaghter all of them, they could just slaughter some of them, making it so the popultion wouldn;t take as long to recover
Ok you have impulse...have you actually registered an account with impluse yet?
I disagree with only one part of that Star. I think there should be ground defenses that can target fleets. Of course the weapons couldn't be very powerful, because of gravity acting against the weapons, air resistance, things like that, but they should be able to fire something. Wouldn't be very powerful, but it could be useful to help pick off siege ships while your fleet deals with the rest of the enemy fleet. Besides that I agree with everything you said.
I love these ideas! I have something to add for number 3. How about when a fleet jumps towards your planet, the game tells you how many are coming.
Maybe there could also be a culture and allegiance perspective. Like, if you just bomb a planet to hell its maximum allegiance will be lower and enemy culture will have a stronger effect on that planet while your own culture will have less of an impact. On the other hand, if you invade with troops, you don't get these negative effects. That would make using troops a much more attractive option. As for infrastructure, how about you don't just get to keep some of it if you use troops, b
I wasn't talking about my starbases, I was talking about the AIs. And I may have exaggerated. It probably had something to do with my fleet is the reason they worked so well. The starbase was fully upgraded, and it had fighters, but I had enough flak and fighters myself to take care of them pretty quick. The AI was also using repair structures but they went down quick enough, and I kept my anti-structure ships back far enough that the enemys fleet had to go through most of mine to get to them
Since the end of World War 2 there has only been 1 year when when no declared war was active on Earth. I can't remember the exact year, but even without a declared war, you still have coups, murders, rape, assault, and all the other things in this world that make us human.
Covert agents...maybe...but there would have to be some major drawback or else people would just use their fleet for defense and take over other empires solely with these agents.
I've noticed something about these things. They are way to OP. Fully upgraded starbases go down under a minute when I use just 5 of these things. And i'm playing against Unfair AI. They also destroy any non-starbase structure extremely quickly. These things need to get nerfed. Thoughts?
Life is so abundant here because it only takes one spark. Everything on Earth evolved from one base organism, and once that organism was created (however it happened) diversity was sure to happen. Also, FTL travel in the normal sense is impossible. The only way it could happen was if we used wormholes, and so far, we have never observed one. According to Einsteins equations, they are possible, we just haven;t found one yet. Also, we would have to construct a craft capable of withstand
I have to disagree with one bit. A lack of FTL travel will not confine us to our solar system. True, it will take an excruciatingly long time to travel places. But it is possible to travel close to the speed of light, just not beyond it. But the closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time goes, and so the travel time would not be felt as badly by the passengers of said vessel. This would of course put them out of touch with anyone not traveling at the speed they are, but it would al
Unfortunately, an infinate universe doesn't make sense at all. To have an infinite universe that requires for time to also be infinite. But if nothing ever had a beginning, and is therefore infinite, than every single possibility that could happen would have already happened. Every single option has a set probability. No matter how unlikely, even if the chance of the event happening is 1 in a google (a 1 followed by 100 zeros) then if time was infinite, it would have happened at some point, a
There is definately life off this planet. No doubt about it. The universe is just to big for us to be alone. The bad news? There is absolutely no way in hell that we'll be able to communicate with them, trade with them, or for us to even be able to tell they're alive. You see, people who search for alian life all have an underlying bias. They all believe that this new life will be at least somewhat like us. Enough for us to learn their language, trade with them, all of
If none of your friends get entrenchment thats fine. Entrenchment doesn't change the game files it just adds on to it. That means you can still play with non-entrenchment players by just opening the regular game.
I once went into the map editor and just kept pressing the add star button for about 30 minutes, just to see what would happen. When I pressed preview, there was an entire freaking galaxy right there. I don't even remember how many stars there were, or planets, but I guess it was maybe more than a thousand stars. It would have taken me weeks to play it, maybe months, to play it.
