Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Diplomacy update in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Ha! No problems, Frogboy. Gives me more time to play with Entrenchment which I just downloaded yesterday (AI seems smarter, and my gravity wells are littered with mines!). Seems like you could have come in here and said "yay, the new expansion will be out in late summer" and you probably would have gotten tons of responses to the tune of "sweet fennel!" and "kudos!". ;)

Future mini-expansion with campaigns in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hello folks. :) I'm a new (and completely satisfied) user of Sins of a Solar Empire, so maybe this question is old-hat, but is it against the Sins ethos to request some campaigns in a future expansion? Is this something that the devs are interested in? Or something that the player-base is interested in? Is this something that is on the radar? Personally, one of the things that drew me to this game was the cryptic story of the Vasari flight from their homeworl

Reply to I hope I'm not alone, but the reason I play Advent... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I play the Advent for a variety of reasons...pretty much all having nothing to do with the mechanics of the game. One, when I first read the lore, they reminded me of the Ousters from the Hyperion Cantos (a 4 book sci-fi series by Dan Simmons...check them out, you won't be disappointed) and I liked those guys. Two, their ships look very cool and so I'm gonna spend a lot of time looking at them, so I might as well like looking at them. Three, the voices are a bit les

Reply to Should I continue with Sins as is, or download Entrenchment, if I have only had Sins for a week? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="MartialDoc" reply="12" id="2164230"] Quoting FitzyOfSydney, reply 9Well. I am sold. Will download a copy next week. I want to spend this weekend thrashing a few AI's a bit more. It has only been a week of playing after all. I will get Entrenchment, give that a week, then try out online. Only prob is how many other players are in my time zone, or close to it?? Will have to check. I'm gu

Is there even an ETA for it yet? Or are they planning on releasing them yearly or something like that?

[quote who="CommanderAdama" reply="4" id="2161702"]and then tap on some of that demigod love, just wait until they clear up the online a bit. You better play online, we need you there. If people are assholes to you for bein new, dont let it discourage you, please.

Reply to Best Capital Ship Mix in Strategy Sins Forums

We've got some good suggestions here for the "money is no object, all cap ships present" situation. Any suggestions for early game combos where one might be limited to 3 or 4 cap ships?

Reply to Viable Strategy, Counters, Replays, and Tips 1.05 in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote who="Calbrenar" reply="5" id="2135916"]This seems awfully out of date to be stickied. Doesn't the Dark Fleet / RA cost money now? I saw a bunch of other inconsistiencies as well. Maybe update for entrenchment too? [/quote] Was wondering about this as well. Seems the OP is about a year old now, but there are no replay links in the post. I'd be interested in seeing the replays, if they're floating around somewhere on

Questions from a new player in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Just picked up this game yesterday, and i gotta say...WOW! What a beautiful game. I really should have bought this last year when I first heard about it, but I'm really happy to be here now. Good work, Ironclad! :D So, yeah, I just started yesterday. I did the tutorials, and I started a small 1v1 single player game, playing as the Advent. I think I'm coming along, but there is so so much going on that I feel a bit overwhelmed. Are there any good...I

This is definitely a good idea for GC3. I like it a lot.

Question about Flag Ships in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hello folks. So my Flag Ship roams the galaxy discovering anomolies. Most of these have some sort of civ-wide benefit. But many also confer some advantage to the ship itself--more hp or whatever. How do I take advantage of this? The Flag Ship has no weapons or anything, so how do I add them? If I design some sort of ship in the future and then upgrade the Flag Ship, will it keep all the extras that the anomolies provided?

Game crashing mid-play in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hello folks. Since downloading GalCiv2: Ultimate from Impulse and playing it for the past week or so, I've experienced a crash every singl time I play the game. It usually happens after a long session of playing, but occassionally it happens only a few turn into a new game. I've got the latest drivers for my card, and everything else is up to date with my hardware. Here's the latest debug.err file: Debug Message:
