Well, you could place object over/bellow eachother for one. Which would make things more neet rather than placing them in tight rows. Ship wise, you could try to avoid the range of cannons and fine a way to "sneek" past. Or like mentioned above, hide under a star/sun/planet. Place different fleets on top of eachother to mask size and fool the enemy etc....endless possibilities really. =)

Reply to Granting fleet control to another allied player ? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Wouldnt this cause serious problems with Fleet Supply numbers? Just letting someone get control over a fleet without these ships affecting the players Fleet Supply seems a bit unbalanced. I mean then you could just have someone focus on upping his fleet numbers while the other focuses on giving resourses. Only then getting a massive fleet under your command when you dont deserve it. Altho I don't play online, I am against this idea.

[quote who="_Nebulocity_" reply="9" id="2158990"]The thing you have to realize, is that if they did make it "true" 3D, who would play that? [/quote] I can't take that seriously. That's like asking who would want to play an airplane simulator game in 3D. Space battles in space with free movement is glorious. Try out EVE Online, or the good old Star Wars Supremacy (which in my point of view was the original in creating this new "genre" that Sins like to brag about the

Nah, not totally new. Anyways I bought it, didn't really notice any significant changes in the game mechanics, exept that they added a tab in the research. And for some odd reason switched the Capital Ships placing in the build menu....why the heck did they do that, made more sence when it was from the weakest to the strongest.

Ok, but it that is the case, what about cannons? They are only indicated with a flat circle. Am I just supposed to visualise with my minds eye the "bubble" that their fire range is supposed to have? Because obviously if you can fly downwards, then you can avoid getting shot at by them.

I tested that out. The Z-axis didn't seem to do a thing. Maybe this is something they are planing to emplement into the game....

Man, I must suck. Took me 4 hours for a small random map, on Easy. I find it pretty hard getting things to move fast. Espesially getting minerals etc.

Reply to Is There Any Way To Get Updates For SoaSE WITHOUT Using Impulse???? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

I am using XP SP3, no problems at all. Have you uninstalled it, run ccleaner to remove any exstra files, then reinstall it. Maybe that will help?

Reply to I have no idea how this works. in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Oh, click the Impulse icon in the top left corner (the lighting bolt thingy). There you will find a "Check for Updates" button. Or just uninstall Impulse, go to the Impulse site, download and reinstall it. As for register, just click on the game and a meny will show up.

Reply to I have no idea how this works. in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

The updates should go automatically. Register the game, and under the "My Games" on the top of the page you should find your game. It should display "Update availabul". Just install it from there, if I remember correctly you just click on it.

Why? All other 3D games magange this just fine. Eve Online for example. Hell most 3D games out there do this. And when placing objects just have an axis lock option. For example. You first select the spot like you do now in the game, then lock that posision. Then select the other axis (up or down) and lock that.

Is the game gonna be 3D in one of the mini expansions?? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I was hoping this was part of the improvments in the miniexpansion, but after watching some gameplay videos I see it has not changed. Sure the graphics are 3D, but I am thinking about flying in space part. It's pretty darn lame that my ships bump into a cannon, or space port. Or that I can't build something because something is in the way. I want to be able to move freely, and place objects freely. I want to see ships flying around in an evasive manner when in combat...flying

I was going to, until I read they are comming out with 3 mini expansions, and then plan to re-release the game along with all 3. So I might just wait.

Then why does it have a "remind about expirering subscriptions" option? What is this subscription thing?

New to Impulse, thinking of buying Entrenchment in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

I have done some reading in the FAQ of Impulse, but am not getting any smarter. Do I understand correctly that I have to pay a yearly subscription to use Impulse if I buy a game via them? I want to get Entrenchment, but I don't want to reinstall it some years later only to get a message I am not allowed to download the patch before paying....

Reply to What? No campaign? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Ok "The Same" might be a bit strong. But it's not giving you anything new. In strategy games campaigns usually gradually introduce new units and progress a story. It makes you want to play the next level. But as it stands now, we are given every unit. Thats what I mean by "the same". The only thing we are givin is TIME, just how long we want to play is what differs here.

What? No campaign? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I just bought this game and am very dissapointed there is no story driven campaign. Just generated maps. The intro gave me a feeling of a great story, but once the game started I am only greeted with selecting maps. Yes the game is great, but I dont see the reason to play after doing 1 map. Its all the same after all.
