This isnt Electronic Arts. You can install it on as many machines as you like, but only one connection at a time can be made to Ironclad Online gaming network.

[quote who="EamonKallen" reply="11" id="1950490"] Sure, they'll keep making movies, but SG-1 has proved that once a franchise born in a tv series goes to movies, it loses a lot of it's quality. [/quote] Erm, First Contact? anyone?

Reply to Vasari's phase stabilizer ability seems broken in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It should work, Ive got it to work on 105. I never tried it any other way but I just have the marauder leave the fleet and activate its stabiliser, leaving the rest of the fleet to jump away.

Reply to I'm stumped- Black Screen in Technical Sins Forums

Yeah that solution has worked twice for me now. Kryo if its possible, I think Sins should default to the window; not fullscreen, and there should be a configuration utility to access the graphic options without launching the engine.

Reply to did the AI get less intelligent in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Not to increase difficulty, but try recording your next game andthen trying to see if you can find anything in the replay that might explain what the AI gets up to thats giving you a break.

Go to C:\user\____\Application Data\Local bla bla bla find the Sins folder, open up user.setting you have to change the value that relates to running in a window from FALSE to TRUE. After a first run like this, you can change it back to full screen within the ingame options.

Reply to Game wont run after install in Technical Sins Forums

This happened to me before. Try changing your profile settings so the game launches in a window. Once the game launches you can go into the options and set the graphics how you like it. Follow this: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/327909

I play it on rum myself. Takes a healthy buzz to keep your attention into the late game.

I think steam caught on to that trend ages ago when they started running their on-installation hardware survey. and if you look at the results some of their customers use some pretty ancient relics. http://www.steampowered.com/status/survey.html

I really wouldnt care for an offensive expansion pack. It rather defeats the entire idea of entrenchment.

I got all my schooling done in Ireland. Their education makes high school here sound like playschool. America needs serious reform in that regard. Lets be clear: they can lower the corporate tax all they want but you still cant compete with the better-educated workforces of other countries.

Reply to What is a good TV series? in Everything Else Sins Forums

Fuck. If I knew they had whole serieseses on netflic ida joined sooner. The best marriage of Sci-Fi and humour was Firefly tbh. Other good shows are Weeds, Californication, Dexter, The Extras, The IT Crowd if youre feeling nerdish, then of course theres 24, which was quite good in its day, theyve just milked the franchise for what its worth at this stage. Do they have anime on there? Gundam, Ghost in the Shell, Bleach, etc. - theres a wide list to cater to all t

Reply to More voices in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I guess if anyone is good with sound editing (which, I'm not) you could give it a shot. I like Advent but yes the voices wear a bit thin over time and all your friends think youre gay because you like the fairy race. For example look at that Male Advent portrait, to me, it could sound closer to the Warp Spider from Dawn of War. And on that note, you should be able to specifically label which portrait you want to use for each race, and which voice pack you want to use.</

[quote who="Tkins" reply="3" id="1924752"]Having different victory conditions could help this too. (ie. 75% of all occupiable gravity wells, wonder victories, timer victory, research victory, as mentioned capital victory).[/quote]Probably not at all what I was getting at, but yes. You could implement these, then when you "Win", it makes the Continue Playing option all the more - well, optional, for those that like the mop-up for whatever perverse reason. Bah.

Reply to Wall Street Journal: Disney Should Buy EA in PC Gaming Sins Forums

That might be EA's biggest problem: its publicly traded, and as such its bound by law to maximise profit, bla bla bla. Same with Activision-Blizzard, which has really started to reveal its nasty corporate-side. Then you look at companies like Stardock, and Valve, and Rockstar, Bungie, that are not publicly traded, and generally they are producing higher rated games. Moral of the story: if you become publicly traded, I will kill you.

The Endgame - Boring? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm the kind of gamer that prefers to take my damn good time, do it right. But in just about any game you play there gets a stage in the Late game where it just becomes increasingly boring mop-up work. Depending on the size of the map it can take a few hours to eradicate the last remnants of the opposing force. I'm wondering, what could be done to improve the mop-up stage of the game, to make it more interesting to play?

Reply to Pirate Problems - Too many comming at me. in Strategy Sins Forums

Just in case it hasnt been said, use the Bribe-page to keep the pirates targetting your enemies. Only bribe as much as you have to though to make them attack someone else. For example if you put 10k credits on Green when theres 350 Credits on you, the Pirates will attack Green, but sooner or later the next person to put a bounty on you will bribe the pirates for 10k, or more. In that example, just pay 500 credits worth of bounty.

[quote who="psychoak" reply="5" id="1921910"]I'm of the opinion that anything out of print is free game. The current bastardization of copyright is disgusting, it was originally intended to allow market saturation. You had a whopping 14 years, and that was when it might take that long just to get in print on a more than local scale.[/quote]Any Day Now, and they will announce a reprint of Legend of Dragoon.
