Reply to Well, what do people think? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I signed up to beta test beta 2, didn't do the first one, but 2 is utter awesome, and will continue to grow, the devs listen to peoples feedback and suggestions, and we have had 1 patch and 2 hotfixes, all three came out within a short space of time from each other, and the patch has incorporated quite a few people's ideas, and there will be another patch coming out but will take a while, the AI needs a lot of work doing to it, but with so many days before the final release, Im sure it will be f

its an issue that the hotfix was meant to fix, (available now) but some including myself has been experiencing, but the devs are aware of the problem, so hopefully this will be fixed for good soon,

I also hope that cheaters will be dealt with as well, take a look how EA is handling C&C3, is at a point of utter collapse, because one of the biggest problems is that they are letting cheaters get away with it, and disconnecter's are rampant, as they have allowed them to still earn points, so that they are rising high in the ranks while not winning many games, I really hope IC's policys will be a lot better, especially with the matchmaking thing, otherwise like C&C3 the MP part will be dead in

Reply to New Patch Feedback in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I jumped in a kol to an enemy system, it was to test another bug, it was outnumbered, and I tried to get it to move to the way it came, but it wasn't having it, it kept locking its guns on the enemy ships and ignoring my move order, it was destroyed soon after,

Reply to Killing Pirates should reduce your bounty in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Also, if a given player is becomming too powerful, he can just buy his way out of the problem, and that, i think thats a bad idea. I have to agree there, of though I still think lowering bounties to an extent might still be a good idea, but I do agree, that once you have the funds you can clear the bounty quite easy yourself, but maybe once you have reached X amount of wealth, the price of clearing the bount

Reply to About the Storyline in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

hmm that is a pity, I was hoping there would have been campaigns, seems a bit odd really to go through all this trouble of adding races and everything else but no campaigns, unless this special gameplay mode tells the story of each race? really hope then at some point we can make our own campaigns to substitute for the lack of campaigns? that would be at least something

Reply to X3 Reunion: Review in Games Sins Forums

this is a game I helped to beta test, (my name is in the back of the manual) personally I won't touch this game, I preferred X2 over 3, but it does get boring, once you have got huge amounts of money there is little left to really do, the story is short and rubbish, then again X2's was as bad, the only X game that had a decent story was xbtf, but all the later games uses the same map with a few more sectors added each game, there are some decent mods out there, but I won't bother to pick this ga

Reply to minimum System requirements in Technical Sins Forums

I think you are asking the wrong place, but to answer you first question, the game does not support DX10, and I hope it doesn't for some time, as for your other questions, I think you current card is fine, Im running a ATI X800pro and have no issues with running this game, but the CPU is used a bit more due to the AI calculations, as for the market becoming flooded with DX10 games, possibly but those supported and published by M$ certainly will be, as for others, they should still support DX9 fo

Reply to A possible way of having custom ships in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

not keen on this idea at all, as each race has access to its own ships, thay can't fly anybody else's. as for the starting ship, that just seems like yet another super cap ship, he have enough of these types of posts, as that will be all it will be, better then anything else

Reply to Gas Giants , how would they work? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

been thinking, if you could do research on slingshot then whenever entering phase lines from suns and gas giants, ships speed up X2 or X4 that would speed up travailing a lot and speed up the gameplay a bit, as it stands travelling from star to star is really slow

Reply to Gas Giants , how would they work? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Gas giants should be like stars in that they should have a huge grav wells (intentional for ships to take longer to jump in/out). Plus it could have a small colonizable moon (use asteroid model as placeholder for now i guess), and have 1 or 2 crystal roids. That way it wouldnt be totally useless. However you can only build in a small area around the moon you colonized. Id like to see different types of planets, and moons in game, or 2 col

Reply to simplify this game for pete's sake in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

It sounds like Baron Fat Bastard just hasn't learned the UI yet. Maybe there should be a manual released for the Betas. Or better yet, set up a Wiki and when it comes time for the release, the manual will be written for you I like that idea, plus anyone
