Hi, Circumstantial, I can only say good luck in your game design interests. The reason I say interest is because you will not be able to expect to get into game design making good money. Plus it is a highly competitive field, I mean who wouldn't want to get paid making games like Starcraft 2, or SINS. [e digicons]:D[/e] The trick to get into game design is to get involved with a mod for one of your favorite gam
Um please excuse the other people, as they are a bit retarded. I completely understand what you are talking about. First make sure your game is registered in Impulse. Next, simply log in with the same forum user info you used to log into here. The game is not really clear in how to do all that, as when you click multiplayer->create account->it simply switches to Impulse. UNLIKE hundreds of other games that actuall
Yes I feel betrayed by Ebgames as well, ever since Gamestop bought them out they shifted focus. I mean a PS3 is hard to compete with, but nothing beats the depth of a PC games. I remeber the good ol days too of Electronics Boutique, and Egghead Software. Then Computer City, and Comp USA. I loved it when certain games like Falcon 4.0 gave you something like a folder with a nicely detailed manual (I felt like I could jump into a real Faclon and maybe e

[quote who="NorsemanViking" reply="1" id="1932349"]I was wondering myself. Hopefully there is an underground of some kind.... [/quote] Yeah I was going to post a whole new reply comparing this game to Master of Magic. Sounds like a more highly evolved version. This game along with Beyond Protocol, the new era of Master of Orion and MAster of Magic. =-)
[quote] Every game, I rush out early trying to expand, and I'm getting reasonably good at it. On a large map, I'm usually capturing the surrounding 6 or so planets, which is about what I need to stabilize myself with a foothold in the galaxy. The problem comes right around the end of my expansion phase, when I have to pay for colony maintainence, but don't yet have the population or trade to support it. I lose money hand over fist, and I'm forced
[quote] basically flak would be no better or worse because we would have better explosives, but they would expend energy much quicker than would the same flak round in atmosphere.[/quote] Did you write your statement wrong or were you being extra sarcastic? How does a item expend energy quicker in the vacuum of space? Compared to the atmosphere, air and gravity? Flak works just fine in space, and yes friendly fire would be an issue for friendly fighters. That is why ger
[quote] I'm basically exploiting all of the AI's weakness as you described. The issue is that I don't have a ship about 2 months into the game that can take out a freaking escort that has about 30 attack and a 24 defense against shields, the only weapon available to me. So, my question was more along the lines of: is this a glitch? Just restart the mission over (I've soured over doing so after this happened)? Is there some magical answer that I'm not doing by going for mi
What about making more variety than just adding different special abilities, and textures and models. Look at each race and what would be their design philosophy. The Star Wars universe does this well, where the Rebellion has great fighters, and the Empire has powerful cap ships. Or have a race like that in X3 where their ships break apart into many more smaller pieces. Or something like the Borg where they cripple you and assimilate. There are a hundred different ways to go but the current
isnt it wierd for someone complaining that there is a zoom to cursor feature for once? I can't believe some people, when SUPCOM came out with that feature I immediately thought what took so long for developers to incorporate this feature. Add in the fact that there is a toggle feature to turn this (why would you??) off, I have to ask you if you have really been testing this game? Good thing you are working for free, otherwise I would ask you
Between SimCity 4 and City Life I would go with SC4 anyday. City Life was shallow compared to SC4. Why fix something if it ain't broke.
I have finally gotten XP installed again so i can play som sins. So now ive tried out beta2. I really think SINS needs a whole lot more rock/paper/siccor when it comes to combat. Right now all the different ships just dont seem all that different. Sure when you get to know em you will see they do have differencies but these are to small. Secondly i think the game needs another ship class. One above captial ships. <b
