Reply to Weirdness with fleet leaders & selecting fleets in Sins II Bug Reports Sins2 Forums

[quote who="MnMShow" reply="1" id="3943010"] I was under the impression that the strongest capital ship (not sure on what basis exactly that choice is made) automatically becomes the one with the fleet insignia. [/quote] It definitely seems like that's what's happening (for some unclear definition of "strongest"). Is that intended behavior though? If so, there should definitely be a way to turn it off. It's also pretty annoying when you have a fleet of capital ships that wer

Weirdness with fleet leaders & selecting fleets in Sins II Bug Reports Sins2 Forums

I've noticed a couple of bugs relating to fleet leaders that may or may not be related to each other. I've been mostly playing as Vasari so I'm not 100% sure if they affect the other two factions as well, but I believe they do. 1) When I select a fleet with multiple capital ships, the ship I've set as the fleet leader is often not the ship that ends up selected (ie, who's abilities I can see on the lower bar in the UI). Instead, it seems that the game sometimes decides to choose a dif

Bring back Stabilize Phase Space ability for the Antorak Marauder in Sins II Feedback Sins2 Forums

It seems like earlier in development, Vasari had the ability to deploy phase stabilizers anywhere using a ship item. Due to this, the Antorak's Stabilize Phase Space ability was redundant, and it was replaced with the new Phase Restoration ability. However, the ability to deploy phase stabilizers using a ship item was removed at some point, presumably for balance reasons. This now leaves Vasari with a pretty glaring gap in their mobility though: the ability to return to a friendly gra

Reply to 'Hold Position' bugs as TEC Enclave. in Sins II Bug Reports Sins2 Forums

Fouthing. It's especially noticeable on the Vasari carrier cruisers, since they're equipped with some point defense weapons (presumably to offset the fact that Vasari don't have fighters). It's extremely annoying that my fleet of squishy carrier cruisers keep trying to drive to the other side of the gravity well to plink away at the enemy fleet with their little PD guns.

Will Sins Rebellion require Steam? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I love Sins of a Solar Empire, and think it is the best strategy game to come out in a LONG time. I have bought every expansion as it came out, and have been looking forward to Rebellion eagerly. However, I was worried when I saw today that the beta was released only on Steam. I, for personal reasons, cannot use Steam, and I will not buy the game if I am required to use Steam in order to install it. Therefore I would like to know if Rebellion will require Steam (even if you buy the CD) and if

Mod Changes Not Being Applied. Help Please? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

So, I was trying to make a mod, and once I finished I put it in the Diplomacy mod folder and start Sins. The game loads the mod without giving a minidump, but when I try to play, the changes the mod is supposed to make (switching around the abilities for a few capital ships) aren't there. It's like I never activated the mod. Does anyone have any guesses as to what the problem could be?
