[quote who="Howdidudothat" reply="8" id="3250543"]Can you put somewhere that if the title of the game says Skilled, then you shouldn't join unless you do 2v1 hard AI.[/quote]Done, - also occurred to me this is not rocket science - most will pick this stuff up quickly enough if they have the chops, but no amount of spelling it out will make a difference unless they want it. Hopefully this can grease the wheels for them.

Added Ekko's and Sel's contribs. Per Sareth, requested sticky. Need more input, come on MP'rs!
Wail is a welcomed element in large team games. Fear of Wail alone can lock down one side of a map or flank position. It favorably changes the dynamic of a game to tactically overcome many disadvantages inherent in a large encounter. And, when playing VR vs VR facing you, it's an especially dicey proposition to see who has better potential population/planet composition in between. It's a crap shoot sometimes, but a lot of fun to lay in wait with that mega bomb
[quote who="ViaRed" reply="3" id="3203636"]I've never seen true "pros" stacking a team, most of them cry out since it's dead boring to beat a dead donkey with a stick. There are however "pro" players about now who do not kick noobs from the game. They believe that teaching the young ones will help the game. They believe right.. [/quote] Advertising:
Let's pretend for a moment that you are relatively new to the SINS Multiplayer scene, and you discover through your many hours of spectacular game induced auto-stimulation, that you enjoy it enough to commit to establishing a presence amongst what turns out to be a rather 'core group' of veteran players. Further to this; lets say you are sharp enough to pick up on the adopted conventions of certain accepted standards in things like choosing teams, showing proper restraint
[quote who="Greg30007" reply="12" id="3209941"]Mentor role was assumed by many of us that call ourself skilled. Problem wasn't with us problem was with players that we tried to teach. They didn't want to be taught, or they had just in spite I wont do what you say attitude, some became downright hostile, some were screaming feed me and didn't listen to advices and few that did listen to advice either stick long enough to became skilled[/quote]whs
Moreover; ban all players that advocate banning other players - especially AR players! eh, ima get banned...

[quote who="dvvdsfasfa" reply="18" id="3228532"]if that's the replay of the game, notice how rabidturnip has panic attack which, in turn, causes quar to have panic attack via domino effect.[/quote]rabidturnip is constantly in a state of panic due to perpetual lack of forethought or planning leading to reactive as opposed to proactive efforts. Quar is usually pretty good about mitigating or preventing melt-downs altogether.
Oh, Ye of little faith... No thing exists beyond what the great and powerful Quar can do - Quar is here and is the greatest amongst us all! Even now, his minions pervade the sinews of these threads as is his to command. Speak not ill of that which is unspeakable - of what Quar the omniscient can or can not do. Only the being known as Quar breaths reality into existence.

Has everyone fallen victim to a colossal troll thread or what?

Please include my Kbroke review.
[quote who="Lurkios" reply="13" id="3224096"]Have a relatively easy workaround (and hopefully some information that can be used to fix this problem). If you open your video options while a game and tell it to used windowed mode, then apply - the game will go windowed and ask if you want to keep the change. Click cancel (reject the change), and when the game fullscreens again the mouse behaves as it should.[/quote]Reeeeally? Let me check this out and get back

I have three monitors, so when I play, I have to disable all but the center one in order to mitigate excessive carpal tunnel fallout. This defeats the purpose of having multiple monitors obviously, but sometimes I just leave them on and end up with a lot of in game runaway mouse issues - and that's a problem during long games. Sure wish it could get fixed
Kbroke - or "KB" The most insidious of all the quasi-trolls, his seeming effortless command of extremely innocuous Trollisms, borders on unsurpassed brilliance. In fact, he can by all appearances project a firm grasp of creative luster, while simultaneously demonstrating his utter lack of even the simplest signs of coherence in his chat or threads. He is especially prone to proclamations of his supreme comic flair that are thinly veiled as self deprecating wit, in an attem
Added new UI option: Empire Tree - Show Ships in Phase Space, which toggles whether ships phase jumping to other gravity wells are displayed in nods in the Empire Tree. (Helps prevent the Empire Tree from 'jumping' around.) My gratitude is only exceeded by my amazement!
Dear Devs, Please make multi-monitor use possible. One monitor can be the entire map. One can be dedicated to individual grav wells. Oh, and the empire tree could be overlay selectable on either a vertical or horizontal axis.
Please cure plague
Thanks to everyone who contributed to, and for participating in this thread, but the game is now over. Thanks for playing!
