Ironically, I've found another Settings directory under "C:\Documents and Settings\Alexander Williams\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting" ...

Or rather, did so in-game in the Optio

I've been tinkering with trying to get [B]Sins[/B] running in a nicely sized window on my widescreen monitor so that I can have my lovely IMs and possibly even Stardock IRC running nearby but still accessible while I'm playing, but -- and this is the inevitable bug report -- nothing I do seems to be able to resize the window from the default. That [I]includes[/I] editing the user.setting file directly and changing the values to: WINDOWEDWIDTH 1680 WINDOWEDHEIGHT 1050 So, looks l

Myself, I'd love some kind of persistent galaxy that one could slide into and out of on a regular basis. In my mind, ideally, it'd involve at least three levels of potential interaction: 1) Single-player versus the AI in a "persistent" ranking environment, map either based on a standardized design already established or randomly generated based on values from the region th
