problems with 1.09 in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

finally after 2 days of trying to get 1.09 from impulse i start the game and set my player name and color to blue the game starts and my color is green and all enemy factions are red even though i set them all to seperate teams and then locked teams. No matter how i set the game my color stays green and all enemies are red. does anyone have this problem and if so is there a fix because its kinda of hard to know who the HECK im fighting if they are all the same color

i would have to say its completely situational. If your credit income rate is kinda low go with another trade port but if you need minerals build a refinery. Personaly i only put refineries in systems where they would be next to multiple gravwells because i read refineries only work in the gravwell they are in and up to 1 gravwell away. If im wrong about refineries someone please tell me :)

Wierd happenings when i press prnt scrn the game freezes for a couple of seconds i get no message saying it made a screenshot. i change the hotkey to the space bar go back to the game press it and bam i get a nice yellow message saying i get a screenshot and the directory where it saved it. also while i was changing the hotkey i tried to remap it back to prnt scrn and i couldnt for some reason. unless i reset all the hotkeys to defaults. im guessing there is an issue with vista x64 prnt scrn

i downloaded the map Realspace. I have windoze Vista. I unzipped it. Icopied it to the galaxy folder in c:\progam files(x86)\stardock games\sins of a solar empire\galaxy. Once that was done i opened the file realspace.galaxy with notepad and changed the version number from 0 to 1. i then launched Sins. The map was nowhere to be found not even in custom maps location. I closed Sins and thought wtf and looked in explorer and i found another directory for sins stuff. So i cut it from that directory
