My first guess would be that maybe you got a firewall running and it asks you permission to let Sins access the internet. Lots of firewalls (i.e. ZoneAlarm and Sygate) don't always tab out properly to ask that and in the worst case (happened to me a few times) the system just completely locks up like you described. Might be a completely different problem with you, but in case you got a firewall running try to give Sins permission to access the internet before you try to

Yeah, I agree with 99% of your points, but after all it's just a rant and summary of what's already been pointed out. The only thing I disagree on is quick start. For one thing it just builds those buildings everyone (and I do mean everyone) would've gotten first anyway. And in addition to that you could just disable it and see if enough people agree with you. Like...name the game "4v4 - no quick start". But forcing everyone to go along with you would be somewhat...weird [e digicons]^_^[/e]<

It's not about effort. Or rather, it is. Defeating the AI is no effort for most of the players online. It's predictable, weak and easy to outwit.

Very friendly words which will encourage everyone to try out multiplayer [e digicons]O:)[/e] On a more serious note: being inexperienced does lead to smaller fleets/weaker economy, yes. But that doesn't mean that they can't contribute anything to the game. What Hack refers to is not an example of bad gameplay (i.e. economy and fleetbuilding) but bad tactics, which he explicitely advised against. So it's not a matter of experience or routine in macro-/micro-management b

Or play with unlocked teams with a mate of yours and ally right after the start. Free win for both, yay [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] Now that we know that stats are completely meaningless, could you guys please forget about your ego and noob bashing and stop smurfing?

There is no "perfect" fleet. What your fleet should look like always depends on the enemy fleet/defenses.

What would a screenshot prove? The only way to validate an afk-case would be to watch the replay. Aside of that, thanks to the awesome feature of multiple player names it wouldn't do any good [e digicons]:|[/e]
