[quote]Can the developers make a rule in the game where if you accidentally (or not) disconnect you get a loss ? Seems like that would solve a lot of the problem. I don't play Sins online yet, but I have played online games for years. Like the above poster said, this is a problem in many games. Of course if you disconnect from a bug in the program (as seems to be happening) you would get a loss and nobody would want that, but still everyone has the same problem over time so it should even o

Reply to Will 1.04 fix any minidump issues? in Technical Sins Forums

stardock should make a version or patch of the game that would turn off the mini dump notification, so that all the people who are complaining that the minidump is causing them problems can fix their minidumps.. the game will still crash, but then maybe they could get past the minidump issue to realize that their equipment/drivers/mods/viruses/other running programs might be to blame alternately, ironclad could take the microsoft approach, and when it crashes, just collect whatever info they

Reply to How to use Strikecraft well? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

to select your carriers.. hold down alt, then click one of them, either on the board or in the fleet display(it selects them all). Then rightclick the edge of the gravity well , next, while holding the shift key, click a circle around the gravity well about 5 times and about 5 or 6 points on the edge for each circle.. that'll get your carriers flying in a circle around the edge, and make them a little less of a sitting duck for everyone to pop, after all, no carriers, no strikecraft :P next,

Next point.. why is there a stop button if the ships just ignore it, and why do the ships select the platform guns randomly instead of closest next? it is very frustrating to watch your fleet run through 8 turrets to kill one on the far side, then run back through them to get to the one by where they started :S If I hit stop, I expect the ships to stop and sit there, if I hit shift stop, I expect them to move to where I had sent them, and then to stop.. oh, ps if I have lrms al

For a bit, some stores were selling the game for 30 instead of 40, but if they sold the download for 30, then no store would be able to sell the game for 40.. on one hand they could theoretically sell the game for whatever they sell it to the distributors for, on the other hand, then noone would put their game in a box and sell it for them.. quite the dilemma, huh?
