[quote]Yep I can attest to that too, I've had allies lose all their planets before but as long as you have a unit that can colonize things you stay in the game.I'm not sure what you mean. The ships don't disappear, but if you destroy all the AI's colonies you'll get the defeated message and its portrait will change to broken glass and at that point nothing that was left over will do anything. If he had a fleet flying around you can engage it and the basic combat ship AI will still get them to s

Seeing as how with the new patch, this looks like the only way I can possibly start out next to my ally, is there any way to make this work?

Reply to Backstory Unimportant? I Don't Think So! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I've found that a good story line can make up for poor gameplay. Final Fantasy 12 was a good example of this, although there were many bugs that were serious enough to cause me to lose a battle, the story kept me playing through till the end. However, I have also found that good gamplay can make up for poor or non-existant storyline. Battlefield 2142 has very little storyline, but-the gameplay is such that I still played it alot, till the game got repetitive. I think IC has [

Reply to Phasic Cloaking, not working right or just useless? in Strategy Sins Forums

I was able to get it to work once when it was orbiting a sun, the sun would regenerate more am than the scout would use up, I figured now I can see when an invasion happens, the problem is that the cloaking slowed the game down to being nearly unplayable, the only ability or effect to do that. But I did get it to be permanant, don't remember how though.

Because it takes a while to scuttle ships, specifically so you are not rewarded for making bad strategy decisions.

Reply to Question(bugs?) about Vasari missiles in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

For both questions: The missile "hits" the target shortly after it is fired, so even if the missile is still flying around, the damage has been done, it automatically "snaps" to a dead-on, it's because the missile has been flying around for too long and the game does this to save processing power i assume. When it follows the ships through phase space, I know not whether it ever actually hits the target or if it disappears after a while, but either way, the damage has been done anyway.

I hope to god IC isn't just cattering this game to people who don't know how to play and can't use google-calculator. -_- No offense and all, your arguements would be fine if you actually made valid points, but you're not. This IS an issue. The market place changes are NOT going to resolve it.

Reply to Three questions in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

There used to be a research station counter in the research window during the beta (don't remember which beta it was started in), but I can't find it since the game was released. Maybe they forgot to add it into the research screen.

Reply to Space is Turquoise? in Technical Sins Forums

The thing about the sky boxes that bothers me is that they skybox can have a bright light, but the side of a planet that is facing that bright light is dark because it is facing away from the sun, hence why I like the dark backdrops. I don't have a problem if you want to say that system is close to a nebula or something, but it would be nice if the light from that nebula would actually illuminate a bit. But they are nice, green is my least favorite.

I too like the style of the portraits. Several of these pictures have been around since before the beta. I however, have never seen the victory screen, only the defeat one (when I surrendered).
