Reply to [v0.54.2]Babylon 5 - Sins of the Younger Races Remastered {Rebellion 1.95+} *UPDATE 16.05.2023* in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hi guys, looking forward to this MOD, Babylon 5 is perhaps my favourite Sci-fi TV show alongside DS9. If you are interested, I found on my drive Centauri Vorchan model, i started to do few years ago and never finished. So i am willing to finish it now and then if you want its all yours. Right now it looks like this: http://s260.photobucket

[quote who="zigzag" reply="14" id="2370813"] I don't think it's fair to label everyone who thinks Starcraft is the 'best' and has 'faith' in Blizzard as a 'fanatic'. I do think that Starcraft is the 'best', in the sense that I've had more fun playing it than any other game; and as as for Blizzard, I rate them above Relic since they haven't released a game that hasn't been fantastic during the time I've been following them. That said, if I don't enjoy Starcraft 2 or Diablo 3, I

Starcraft is brutally overrated, it is great game indeed, but far from best. And the blind faith of Blizzard fanatic supporters is beyond belief. I noticed it on the Escapist message boards during that Developer competition. After Ironclad failed to advance i voted in the Blizzard vs Relic round and the Blizzard fanboys on the forum were utter tw*ts, saying Relic is no match for Blizzard, cause Blizzard made Diablo and Starcraft, which is even today played by trillion Koreans and blah b

Reply to Suggestions for Older Games in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of Earth - action FPS adventure with few RPG aspects and fantastic atmosphere, normally i do not play this kind of games, so when i recommend it, it is really worth to try Star Command Revolution - great space RTS from 1997, i never needed DOSBOX or anything to run it under XP, but my friend werent so succesful, so maybe you might need it too. Again, the game is absolute gem with IMHO the best SP campaign alongside Homeworld. It is pretty tough game as we

[quote who="CenturionJixra" reply="34" id="2360052"] Quoting Timmaigh, reply 31I think they should get Star Trek or Babylon 5 license and create new game like Sins, only based on one of these fictional universes. They will earn sh*tloads of money and everyone will be happy. This is a great idea, actually. The only problem, of course, would be working out a licensing agreement. The owners of the Star Trek IP would of course want a large percentage of the profits.&n

The Borg will be fun, but I'm really interested to see how the team will incorporate both beam and pulse weapons for them, as the D'deridex is seen using both. Not only that, I'm wondering what their high stat(s) will be. I don't expect cloaking since they never really got that working, but the Romulans have always been my favorite supporting

Reply to Diplomacy addon why??? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

While OP´s behavior here is hardly what you call polite, i agree with him, that diplomacy might end up bit pointless even with the new features. Ironclad claims Sins is RT4X, but i think it is safe to say, it is mainly RTS. At least for me personally Sins is bit more complex version of Conquest Frontier Wars, which was definitely RTS. And as you surely know, one of the most important aspects of RTS games is balance. Playing with unlocked teams, which is essential, if you want to utilize

Reply to favorite sci fi series in Everything Else Sins Forums

Babylon 5 - for its main story plot Star Trek DS9 - for many quality and serious filler episodes and epic space battles Stargate - both of them - for probably the most likeable characters The most disappointing for me were Gene Roddenbery´s other sci-fi series - Andromeda and Earth Final Conflict - IMO both started brilliantly, but eventually turned to utter rubbish. Especially Andromeda.

5. Conquest Frontier Wars 4. Sins of a Solar Empire + Entrenchment - i only wish there was a Star Trek or Babylon 5 "remake" of this game 3. Star Command Revolution - great, yet to many people unknown game, completely addictive and with original gameplay 2. Command and Conquer Series - especially its Red Alert part + Zero Hour multiplayer 1. Homeworld Series, especially the first one - best game ever (with Pro Evolution Soccer) for me
