[quote]It seems like everything is becoming more "standardized" among the races. [/quote] I dont want to see everything 100% watered down crap either , to me it seemed like every race had powerful abilities but now everythings getting changed to hell. I just hate nerfs though so Im not the one too judge :) because I 99.9% of the time put losing down to the other player being skilled except in extreme cases
The OP mentions an exploit but correctly doesnt discuss it. He wants to know how to PM a mod, actually can see a mod has answered but I dont think its good others hinting at what the exploit may be since most people are going to use it now :(. I dont want to have to deal with numerous hacks and stuff online and mentioning what an exploit is has just made the game 10 times worse! Mods really need to plaster a mail on the front page about exploits and to make sure everyone knows not to broadcast t

I have seen this in many games, I remember playing pro evolution soccer 6 many times , with 0 lag then all of a sudden it goes crazy until they get ahead, I reckon people put the downloads on or something as the host so they get the wins. All you can do is note peoples names who are like that and dont play them, its a case of big egos, small minds :)
[quote]One thing i never liked was the Oblivion packs. Was not my kind of thing and i felt i already had brought the game so why should i buy extra content[/quote] I kind of agree with this statement because of the way the vast majority of companies are. However if you folks for instance stuck with the current game, released many updates and got to a point where peoples concerns with the current product were addressed then maybe in future a system like that could work. The problem is ma

Was delay in first post showing , ignore this msg. Actually hit with some kind of forum edit bug as well when I want to make changes. Just thinking regarding IRC , well I must admit I havent been to lucky with it in the past outwith this game offcourse. Found it to be full of people dont speak :) will give it a try though! Either way I have added all previous xfire names to friends , my logic being that if any of them are on I have a good chance of getting a game with specific

Okay setup a user on xfire my name is Foxfire28 and like some others on here I have only played 2 or 3 times and am really bad. I would like to play the game on normal speed if possible but am not to fussed. I will add some of you to friends. Also I see some dont like xfire (Prefer TS myself for audio quality although maybe xfires better now?) but does irc have voice chat these days?
Strat games I have owned C&C Generals (Good game but buggy netcode that had trouble coping with NATS and unltimatly it seems to have killed online since when I go back to it MP is pretty empty......also 100% rush orientated which I dont like as at that level its a matter of quickest button bash with the first few units) Civ4+ all expansions (I know I will maybe take a telling of for this lol but I bought it and havent played much at all, it does seem good but I dont like the wa
No edit button :( , anyway just to add I agree what was said about game stability though and even certain technology on PCs, I think some of the technologies are getting put out before they are fully tested or have stable drivers. With certain brands of nvidia cards , nvidia SLI is a prime example of this. (Have worked with lots of sli PCs even with the correct ampage some variants of the top notch nvidia cards still have numerous problems in sli mode)
I see it a bit differant because the way I see it if you have the money you will always be able to spec a PC higher than a console. There is the case that the console doesnt have lots of other stuff to deal with but Im sure in the future there will be ways to deal with that such as having an alternate login to the windows login where its just a basic system booted up specific for gaming on the PC. I admit though if the way some publisgers are marketting things for the PC doesnt change then thing
I dont think PC gaming is dying but I can still see what you are getting at.(Could go bad for PC gaming if companies like Microsoft through time keep going with baby steps to make gaming a constant subscription based service, dont no about you people but gamings costing me heaps these days and half the time its all hype and Im paying £40 for less than 5 hours play sometimes) I happen to have 5 PCs some of them good and tbh good graphics are over-rated but thats what many want. I have found mysel
RedMaw I am in the process of reading your post , only got through the first 2 paragraphs and know its exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for . I have yet to research the javelis and kodiaks. Im probably wrong here but could have sworn I read someonewhere that the LRMS were nerfed? Either way Im going to try what you suggest. One final thing what are those Flak Frigates(They seem quite expensive and not too effective tbh but Im probably using them wrong or at the wrong time or ev
I think you should be fine also , at least you should get optimum running through altering a few things. By the way give the game a chance :) I wasnt sure when I started playing but once you get a rough idea of the challenges you will start to appreciate the game. In saying that I am a complete strat newbie so good chance you will do well straight away :). I guess Im just hoping for many newbies into the game so I can get some decent games MP in the future :)
Hi, have been getting on much better in SP but one race I have trouble with is advent. I think the reason is because as TEC Im using the wrong ship types to counter certain advent ships. I know there is charts but tbh even those are getting debated and Im really just wanting generalisations to start with and make my own findings to a point. Also the big strategy guide provided on here although its very well written , I am still getting to grips with the shorthand abbreviations for ships
Although I dont agree with the way this person went about their initial post well I suppose Verkinix does have a point. I intially thought have a button where you can put the exact amount of credits or whatever in but it could indeed be exploited and Im guessing thats why sins was designed the way it is.

Yeah bearded dragons from what Ive been told are probably the best house pet lizards you could get. [quote]I work with and train raptors (eagles, owls, and the like), [/quote] Woul

Ow this is bad! I am so sick of greedy corporations but only a extreme minority take a stand so nothing will change. Corporations in my view are aiming to get the net split eventually so that only the rich have access to the best part of it and everyone else is severly limited.

[quote]Please don't try and make the argument that clicking the fastest is considered strategy. After all, generals issue orders--they shouldn't have to baby-sit units. Especially when units are considered "trained" units.[/quote] Exactly theres hundreds of button bash strats out there so why aim to make this game just like them? Really great game and forums I may say(Something I can seldom say :)) but this whole issue of turning sins to generic rubbish is worrying me!
Brilliant attitude :) I need say nothing thats how I see things as well especially about powering through a game then "Ow what now? Nothing" Im here for enjoyment as well and what worrys me is everythings going down the road of less enjoyment orientated and more speed gaming based on exact maths formulae to get the best way period as opposed to just having fun and through not knowing exact formulae a variety of different strategies cant be proved as non viable and you have a much more diverse g
[quote]Wouldn't it be so much simpler to tell people to put their PC IPs under DMZ? [/quote] I use DMZ sometimes but it is in-secure and I think with people using port scanners etc if you have everything open for a length of time you will get targetted at some point. Doesnt even mean you could be targetted in a way thats making your PC have problems , perhaps just information stealing and that is a big problem. Sorry about double post .....no edit button :(
Thanks Monk :) Yeah appreciate the reply, and the fact you just took it as curiosity.(I like to learn about computing/networking related stuff :) ) Im going to be getting into networking in quite a big way at uni , seems like it is going to be difficult but very interesting. I actually think I understand the point you are making though. For all the speel about NAT its not often you hear of people mentioning about packet inspection. Noted regarding P2P, never thought of it that way :) ,
Commander whats the best TEC ships to take out the disciple ships of advent? Please forgive if Im mis-interpretting some of the abbreviations its just what does kol stand for? See this used alot in some of the guides and I will be better of when I get accustomed to the abbreviations .......see I told you me = total newbie :))
Ive posted alot on these forums as of late and am new and I think I will give it a rest (posting) for a day or so :) . I dont want to hijack the thread but the OP has got someone training them . Although I would like that , I would be happy just to have a MP game with another newbie, that way we could pick stuff up of each other, or even play with a clan member or something who now and again could fire out the odd tip. Either way if anyone wants a game PM me if you want. Anyways away in game and
This crap happens in every MP game :( Im sorry to hear this, if what you say is true well I would rather see balance in every faction. Problem is you have true veterans who think in the context of the game as a whole and others who are simply outclassed by a better player, cant handle it and say that their advesaries ships are overpowered. I dont know yet since I havent played enough MP but at least I realise Im a newbie and dont have the skill to be saying a thing needs nerfed , problem is you
Problem is every router while being similiar can have their own unique problems. I have owned many routers now and like people have said it takes a bit of reading sometimes. I am not having any problems but recently I bought a linksys router and it kept disconnecting, sometimes regular , sometimes not so regular but random, I upgraded the firmware..........same problem. a month or so had went by and eventually I found a firmware that wasnt mentioned on the linksys site, seemed dodgy but I applie
