Reply to On Piracy and PC Gaming in Sins News Sins Forums

Hooray for common sense! I get so sick and tired of all these, "pirates destroy everything" rants. Galactic Civ and Sins both have been a huge success and they have minimal copy protection. All copy protection does is hurt end users and give money to copy protection (thug) companies. Pirates *ALWAYS* get around the protection. I'm a loyal paying customer of Stardock games because they don't use this crap! They support users by beating pirates with features instead of crappy copy pr

Reply to This forum - terribly slow? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Well there are a lot of problems. First, the software is severely limited. The worst of any forums I use in fact. I can't even get email updates to threads! Font is too small and can't be reset, etc. Those are just a couple of the complaints. But yes, I have experienced a lot of slowdowns as well. Sometimes posting takes a second, sometimes 5 minutes. That is way too long.

Reply to Defense 101 in Strategy Sins Forums

Many of you raise some interesting points for strategy. Thanks. It's too bad that we are forced into playing a defensively weak approach. I wish this game had an option for setting defenses to whatever level you want. Personally I find it way to weak. Imagine what World War 2 would have looked like with such pathetically weak defenses...

Please Add More Defensive Capabilities for Planets in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

First, I love the game. It is a lot of fun. I find it really annoying how few a number of defenses you can setup around your planets, particularly early on however. Anyone can walk through. Coming to your home system at least should require more of a force than it presently does. Setting up a good defense shouldn't have such artificial limitations. Please change the system to something more like the ship mantenance cost. Maybe a defensive cost/penalty fo

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire Demo Released in Sins News Sins Forums

I don't know. Sounds a bit like too much crippleware to me. I liked the way DICE put out their demo for Battlefield 1942 better. You got everything but with only one map. People who liked the game couldn't wait to buy it. They knew well what exactly they were getting but with only one map were highly motivated to buy. Doesn't matter to me though. I bought it six months ago and have been playing since beta. Great game! Just hate to see too many restrictions.

Are there MP Saves in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

A friend of mine and I are interested in playing Sins in COOP against some AI opponents, but we rarely have enough time for a full game. Can we play a little and then save it so we can pick up where we left off next time?

Reply to No Demo? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Has anyone heard anything about the demo? I have a friend who really is interested in this and wants to try it before he buys. I already own it and want to play it with him.

Reply to How copy protection creates pirates in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

You guys really get it. It's sad that so many other do not. I think it's best summed up in your statement, "The focus should be making sure it's more convenient to buy your product than to steal it." Amen! I get so sick of pirates getting games first and without the annoying copy protection that often crashes my computer and creates other problems. Why should I have to suffer because some stupid company is paranoid? Way too many companies will inconvenience their entire use

Reply to Trouble updating to beta. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm having the same problem "account information invalid". On a related note, I can't start a thread anywhere here for some reason but I can reply. It seems my threads are getting through but when I go look for them they aren't in the forum list. I often get forum errors (server errors from the forum). Has this forum always had this many problems? Thanks.

Reply to Purchasing GalCiv2 Online vs. Retail in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Thank you Darth Kryo for the info. There's still one thing I don't understand. You say tokens are the same price. Does this mean I have to buy them at $70 for 10? Can you buy them a token at a time and is the price $7 per token? Thanks again. So far you've been the only one that seems to understand this. I appreciate your help! Shannon

Reply to Purchasing GalCiv2 Online vs. Retail in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

In case people wanted to know what my questions are here they are: I'm considering joining Totalgaming.net as a method of buying Galactic Civilizations 2, but I have a few questions first. 1. I realize that it costs $70 for a membership and that I get 10 tokens which I can spend on games. GalCiv 2 costs 5 tokens, so I'd have five left over. How long are these 5 tokens good for? 2. How long does my membership to TG.net last? 3. If I use up my 10 t
