[quote who="Greg30007" reply="234" id="3031774"]What I remember correctly from game your first trade port went up around 12 -15 min into the game --- Way to late for eco player.[/quote] You sure about that? (in general, not with reference to this game) (I play Vasari) When I'm in eco and my team isn't seriously disadvantaged, I usually prioritize expansion and planet colonization, so that I have around 6 planets 10-11 minutes into the game, and only after that (general

Have you tried rebinding your zooming key binds? I'd wager that it's a problem with your mouse or mouse software...

All of this coming from a guy who doesn't even play on ICO. Lol, RiddleKing.

[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="27" id="3030532"]You should not give up your most powerful capital ship-carriers to solve a small problem like anti-matter usages and recharges on a colony frigate! Most rapid expansions require more than one colony frigate and small fleets to capture asteroids while you concentrate your capital ship(s) on planets. By small fleets i mean 2-4 scouts and 1-2 frigates. Fast expansion is also determined by how powerful your capital ship is: Mostly you ca

I find it amusing that you boast about your supposedly amazing IQ but still apparently have problems understanding that the singular I is capitalized or how to use its or it's correctly... not that I'm a grammar nazi but the contradiction there is interesting. That said, you have a point: [quote who="anotherone773" reply="15" id="3031213"]Stardock at times has made complicated strategy games.

[quote who="anotherone773" reply="13" id="3031156"]Playing against a player and seeing who is faster at ganking the other one ....is boring. I can do that in a dozen MMOs that i dont play anymore because im tired of seeing who can gank faster and who can use game mechanics to the best of their advantage. AI allows me to play a slow game against a powerful enemy who is going to give me lots of fights and make every planet a battle for both sides. Instead of the train, build fleet, go gank tact

I had this same problem when I was a new player... On the bottom right there is a screen with 10 buttons for "Develop Planet" or "Attack" and stuff like that. Directly to the left of that screen, on top, is a separate button which turns autoplace structures on/off. I think that by default it's assigned to some hotkey (maybe K? maybe L?) - since you should never want to autoplace structures and don't want to be confused by being unable to manually select where to place

Because it can be used for updating and uninstalling/reinstalling it every time a new patch comes out can be tedius? Just keep it out of Startup (like I do) and you never have to see it except when you hear that a new patch is available.

You have to register the game via Impulse (now called Gamestop) which will then update your game to the newest version. http://www.impulsedriven.com/ Download it, register an account, then input your CD key for Sins, and you will be able to start updating your game.

[quote who="anotherone773" reply="11" id="3030953"]2) You are on a terrible map. Play a bigger multistar map. Bigger maps are easier to get setup on.[/quote] [quote]6) Your biggest problem is your map setup. The map makes all the difference in how hard it is to get started. I recommend learning to make your own maps( they are pretty easy to make) when you can. You will find the game much more enjoyable if you build maps to suit your playstyle instead of changing your playstyle to fit

[quote who="Howdidudothat" reply="183" id="3030548"]Here's the replay of the first game: Never mind, someone beat me to it.[/quote] I don't see the replay of the first game up anywhere... there's the replay of Auqia's 3v1 and the youtube of the first game but the actual replay of the first one isn't up.

[quote who="WillKraemer" reply="17" id="3030793"]I had this issue once before, I solved by updating the game, worked for a few weeks now it is back and there are no more updates to maricale fix me.[/quote] Ironclad Online on Diplomacy is temporarily offline for all of us, unfortunately. The Entrenchment/Vanilla server still works though.

[quote who="ice27828" reply="9" id="3030080"]Better yet, you can just sit an wait till pirates to come and kill them for easy levels for capital ships.[/quote] It costs some to defend against pirates in the first place though, and they don't give that much experience in Diplomacy... Newer players also often have serious trouble with pirates.

What exactly is the problem? Can you not click on the "Host Game" button, or is it that no one can see your game once you've hosted it, or what?

[quote who="Dr.Gonzo" reply="82" id="3029936"]6. Multiplayer support (better ranking system, in-game voting, anti-smurf etc.) and fixes (mini-dumps, lags) The minidups and lag [especially late game] need to be shored up. I never played big online so I'm not sure how big of a problem smurfing is, though judging by some posts it must drive some people bonkers. As for the ranking system it won't matter much if you can't retain more than 50 active players.[/quote] Agre

[quote who="boshimi336" reply="41" id="3029960"]I honestly dislike the idea of creating 'special' resources or 'limited resources' in Sins. What the game needs is what many mods have already done, more aggressive planet bonuses and MANY more of them.[/quote] Agreed.

There are occasional bonuses but they're not often worth the amount it costs to explore planets.

What he's proposing is 5 modders + 1 pro vs 4 pros.

[quote who="Rovert10" reply="3" id="3029764"]It should be also important to note that TEC has a huge economic advantage over all the other races. So economy plays a huge role for them. Especially when it gets to late game when clearly Advant and Vasari have a military tech advantage so that leaves you using eco to spam out your opponents.[/quote] I wouldn't say "huge" - it's significant but not overpowering, except in long or large games where Pervasive is an option. That said
