If my computer was capable of handling either of the new Blizzard games, SC2 and D3, I would have probably given them a try by now. [spoiler]Several things are also bugging me, like what happened to the three races in SC2, with the terrans not having firebats and medics in multiplayer, the zerg tech tree shake up that led to the loss of the lurker and the mediocrity of the hydralisk, and the protoss not having dark archons. Online only and the loss of my favorite class, the paladin, i

Yes, the video imbedded into this thread is wrong, but the link is to the actual preview.

Maybe if you did that, people would actually read your posts instead of assuming you are the devil incarnate who seeks to destroy the evil Steam...[/quote] Its sad but true, Seleuceia, no one is taking what Goa is saying seriously, because they don't seem to be reading it.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="393" id="3130418"]I'm not complaining about steam per say, I'm complaining that steamworks doesn't give us any choice. Every Stardock game prior to this one I can now download directly from Stardock's website, no third party required. People who wanted to use steam could, and people like me who don't want to use it could work directly with the publisher. Now we don't have that choice, and we don't have an obviously better product becaus

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="386" id="3130173"]Errrr...millions of potential customers over thousands?[/quote] No, I mean tying everything to Steam, not selling the game on Steam, that's completely understandable.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="384" id="3130156"]^Did you even read the first page? I want Steam to be one of the options for people to get their games at, just not the only one. As Sins uses steam works, where ever you buy it, you have to use steam. Even worse, the Rebellion Beta doesn't seem to use the good Steam features for anything. Multiplayer features are as basic as always, steam friends would be there even on a non steam works game. What benefit is there to using steam w

[quote who="VistArtXPosed" reply="6" id="3130134"]Microsoft's finally learning from their mistakes. It's back to just two flavors, just like in the XP era (before they added that Media Center crud. )[/quote] I have only been using XP since I got into computers, but now that I have been introduced to 7, I see why people don't like Media Center, its just hard to use, plain and simple.

None of my Sins stuff (vanilla, Entrenchment, and Diplomacy) is showing up in SDC, and its not currently installed through Impulse, because my computer can't quite handle Sins.

Ah, a Telgorn shipyard from the X-wing flight sim series.

[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="24" id="3121902"]i guess so, but from memory supcom was patched from release => latest via GPGnet as part of the installation process so i can understand why GPG would move that to steam, to save players having to search for the manual updates. [/quote] Steam is a great service, don't get me wrong, but if I wanted to use Steam, I would have bought a Steam version of the game, yet now I don't have a choice thanks to THQ. The problem tho

I bought Supreme Commander Gold through Impulse, before GameStop purchased Impulse. At that time, Supreme Commander Gold didn't require Steam, but I only ended up installing SupCom, because Forged Alliance was rather large download, and I didn't know if I would like it. Today, I finally got around to installing Forged Alliance, and I learned that Supreme Commander and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War are now the Steam version. Now I don't know what I am going to do.

Trinity is just vanilla, Entrenchment, and Diplomacy packaged together, so getting the micro-expansion bundle is another option if you don't have Entrenchment or Diplomacy.

I have tried to improve it, but since I can't play anything Sins at the moment, its kind of hard. Its missing all patches since 1.32 for Diplomacy/Trinity.

There has to be a way to fix this Homing Mines only for the Aeria Drone Host silliness.

Edit: Stupid thing got confused.

What are the new maps in Rebellion? All maps mentioned so far are from vanilla, Entrenchment, or Diplomacy.

I don't see why they can't either make it like they said it was going to be, i.e. chose your allegiance in a match, or at least like CnC Generals: Zero Hour where the original factions were still available, otherwise it will never be a true replacement for Diplomacy/Trinity.

[quote who="G_Bison" reply="737" id="3112619"]This just came out earlier, really sux but sometime down the road, they will air the pilot....[/quote] This kind of nonsense is why I quit watching Sci-Fi channel, and flatly refuse to call it SyFy. Ever since they changed the name and started killing off real sci-fi television, I gave up on it, and even though I couldn't get into BSG re-imagined and its spin-offs or SGU, at least they were real sci-fi instead of reality TV and wr

[quote who="Rovert10" reply="2" id="3107243"]Hmm... I didn't realize that DoV was originally meant for EaW. Learn something new everyday I suppose.[/quote] Indeed, one can learn something new everyday, I didn't know that either.

A better option would be add the ability to play as one of the three original races alongside their Loyalist and Rebel counterparts, only then Rebellion will truly replace Diplomacy/Trinity.

[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="13" id="3103708"]Just pointing this out, but Brad isn't part of Ironclad, and thus, to my knowledge, has no input in Sins development. Brad is a part of Stardock- since he's the CEO- but he's not a part of Ironclad. I'd have to go back and check, but the interview I *think* you're referring to was actually with one or both of the Frasers (brothers?), who are the primary devs in SoaSE.[/quote] The thing is Stardock is doing

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="22" id="3102382"]Indeed, I had hoped we'd see faction diversity more like C&C zero hour in this.[/quote] I mentioned C&C Generals: Zero Hour in regards to how I thought the factions should be in this thread , based on my limited knowledge of Rebellion since I am not in the beta, and I like your ideas, GoaFan77.

What are the stats and abilities on the Corsev? So far I know of Boarding Party, Demolition Crew, and Salvage by the looks of what has been said in this thread.

[quote who="Martok" reply="15" id="3099228"]It's definitely better with mods (I use the Absolute Enhancement Mod myself), but I wouldn't say it's "pathetic". [/quote] The reason why I say EaW/FoC are pathetic is the unit selection was rather limited, even in the limited scope of the Galactic Civil War, the lack of any Galactic Conquests that didn't have the Zann Consortium, and the Zann Consortium in general being little more than Petroglyph's overpowered dream tea
