Reply to ENTRENCHMENT EXPANSION in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

If I remember correctly, there was a 4X game about 8-10 years ago, in which you created a specifically designed ship (very expensive) that housed a construction team that could build a Star Base. (It might have been Birth of the Federation, but I really don't remember) Once at its destination, you could instruct it to build the station. It could be updated with expansion slots -like fighter bays and long range sensors- as well as ship repair while in system...for a hefty price of course. Havi

Have been following your work since February, Stress, and all I can say is WOW! Just downloaded the RAR file and played it 5 times in a row. Love the Photon torps. I've always had a special place for the Ambasador Class ships and seeing them in action in really great fun. Thanks for all your hard work. Just one more thing, the background music is spot on...and really sets the mood.

Yep, I see the obligatory "pussies" finally made it into the comments. lol. I'll agree that there are many different playing styles, and that some may not have a problem with mass killing on a planetary scale. How about looking at it from purely economic logic - why waste an entire planet's infrastructure and workforce if you can bend it to your own needs with an occupation? A second option is always a good thing to have, whether your are a tyrant or just an enlightened despot.

Reply to how to travel to other solar systems in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I had this problem as well when I first started. After you research "Long Range Jumps" simply select your fleet then (I think) right click the star you want to travel to. The ships automatically seak the interstellar link (that you cannot see) and travel there.

This is going to be an amazing mod! The addition of Trek themed music would make for total imersion in the Trek universe. The DS9 theme song is incredibly moving and would make a great background to play in peaceful/prosperous times. Voyager's theme would make a great backdrop to exploration. Empyrean45, I downloaded your samples and I believe you have the talent to pull off the creation of a great Trek soundtrack. Thanks for volunteering. Good luck to you all. Boy, this mod i

Hi Tsed, thanks for the info on capital ships- could you tell me a little about how that works? How many and how long usually do you have to leave in orbit for the Blockade/Culture feature to work its magic, and what happens when a planet goes neutral? Can you interact with them?

......if the only way to conquer a planet is by genocide. I know, I know, its only a game, but am I the only one who doesn't like bombarding the entire surface of a planet with nuclear weaponry? The concept of nuking a planet's entire civilian population makes me a little uneasy, even if its just a game. How about a forced evacuation or some kind of surrender if you coordinate a successful siege for a certain length of time? Is there no other option except planetary extinction? If there is anyth

Reply to I've had the game download stop x 2 in Technical Sins Forums

Hey Mike, I have been wrapped up in playing for the last 5 days! I successfuly downloaded on the 4th try and have been playing since. OMG I'm addicted! I spent about 6 hours making a map of the 12 local star systems and researching the spectral signatures and identified planets as well as AU distances from Sol. Can't you tell I cant stop playing.

Reply to How to make a jpg of a new map in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Yep, used paint and Irfanview programs, saved as a JPEG (checked properties) but the the WinCustomize site keeps telling me: "Your skin has failed to upload. The skin file you are attempting to upload is not valid. Hint: Check the file extension. When uploading a new skin, your Skin file must also be submitted." I wonder if the file size is too large (12 KB)? I'll try to reduce it.
