(glorius) did in fact do as he stated. I would also like to add kkrazy again to this list, as a few days ago, we were playing a game that lasted 6 hours, and 5 hours in, he gave up and went afk saying to have fun killing all his planets, which took
Plz add Capt. (Glorius) in bold letters to the list. He basically flaunted the fact that he was not going to quit even though he was the last of his 5 member team. Elrosh and I had to slug it out for over another hour through ai's to take him out. All the while other 5s games were forming. Complete and utter horsesh*t!

[quote who="crashmatusow" reply="155" id="2386566"]you can disable starbase autopinning-you just have to manually edit the settings text file.[/quote] Any such "Work-Around" to permenantly make the panel stationary unless you manually scroll it?. If so, would someone mind posting an example/walk-through? This one "Work-Around" would single handedly change the face of Sins for me an countless others IMOO.
[quote who="jcjames" reply="27" id="2308445"] oh and if there was a possibly of homeworld 3, ironclad has my vote.[/quote] Relic refugees? As long as they stay true to the intended platform (that HW2 never realized becaused it was rushed into publication, along with the one and only subsequent patch), and don't pull a Fallout 3 number. Matter of fact, I'd be happy just to see HW 2 completed. HW2.5!
The fact is the Cops know better than to pull over the Marza as the Capt. is a known rogue outlaw. They opt instead to call in back up and shadow him a "safe distance" with support cruisers. That and a phase media helicopter.

[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="103" id="2384968"] I'm referring of course to the tactical panel on the left that jumps like a meth head on a pogo stick during heavy phase lane activity. Yep, it annoys everyone. I've started pausing the game when I want to select caps for upgrading abilities etc. Otherwise using the mouse to click on a unit is pot luck which one you select.[/quote] Thanks Fuzzy for acknowledging this.

[quote who="Raging Amish" reply="20" id="2383320"] On a side note, if you're still making changes I have to chime in with this. Has anything been done for random maps? Specifically, the two big issues of: 1. Single Phase Lane starts 2. Maps that are completely stocked with neutrals on one side of the map but have none on the other side. The second issue may not be an issue to you at all, but I do remember hearing somewhere way back when that single
Put the IRC PUG installer in it too )
Ok, wait. You had to look up your name for clarification?
We just do it.; host games that require it, and regardless if the ranks are thinning, those that do want to play will follow suit. Just like with Whips galaxy forge custom maps, those that wanted to get a game, when the custom map was the only thing up with skilled players in it, they'd d/l the games, and were patient enough to extract them into the right folders etc. in order to get a game since anyone that was playing was in that game!
[quote who="Whippersnapper-DirtySanchez" reply="22" id="2376841"] (I know, it's not going to happen for Sins, I'm just saying that a determined community can fix this problem.)

Do you have an IRC that we could use in mind Whip?
[quote who="P5yy" reply="10" id="2251138"] Quoting wnmnkh, reply 8All of blacklist thingy fails since this game allows smurf. Not completely. In a PUG Game , smurfs get BOOTED unless they reveal who they are. If he changes his identity he has a long way to go to building a reputation with his new account. Truth be told , KKrazy had a "decent" reputation for being skilled enough. Skilled hosts would accept him into their games , but with a new 0 wins 0 los

[P5yy][quote]The problem isnt ethical , its logistical.If a player quits..the AI takes over. For his teammates this is good,...as it means atleast the cpu is using the most of the players resourcesFor surrendering.... players on his team will be thinking WTF YOU DICKHEAD!. The homewworld can be producing +15 credits a second , and other planets producing more, yet when u surrender...those credits go to waste.Once there was a guyh who surendered ..but it was at the slightest moment of trouble.

[mathias3787][QUOTE]There's a guy "King of Kings", he does crap like this and also quits everytime he's about to lose. I suggest that everybody look at people's records, "King of Kings" has played like 120 games, with 20 wins and 0 losses... I'd rethink playing people with similar records.[/QUOTE] Although I wasn't quite looking for this sort of "resonance", I will point out that players that unintentionally disconnect, have mini-dumped games, and in general don't get to finish games be
[CenturionJixra][quote]Since the host was so interested in blacklists, could you kindly post his name for the general public to see?

My intention is to offer some talking points, and see if they resonate with the forums. However, if there [I]is[/I] a blacklist it would do to flesh it out I suppose.

Initially, when a game roster is forming up, one might expect the host, or an established "team" of players, to be discriminating [based on in game record, or perceived personal reputation] of player "ability levels" or "Skills" in an effort to "balance" the competitive level of the game. However, in a recent "Join New Game" lobby dialogue, the 3v3 host [single large random] repeatedly opted to kick players when trying to join. This went on for sometime, longer t
