[quote who="eoncommander" reply="508" id="2448768"]excellent work, those last two chapters. some of the dialogue needs a bit of work, but it was very good [/quote] its on my to-do list. after finishing the advent intro. and redoing the vasari intro. and the point when the Trade Order sanctions the creation of the TEC. i think its after that.
Hazard- Entrenchment doesn't take away from vanilla sins, it just adds more to it. and if u like defense, i would start with entrenchment (really no need to open vanilla sins after that!). When you play with pirates, however, remember that since you are the only one in the map every (i think 5 minutes or so) they will attack u. if u dont place money on urself (and y would u place bounty on urself?) they'll only be small raiding parties, and a single capital ship should be able to take care of
[quote who="Pyropet" reply="11" id="2449042"] No they must also have some guidelines about religon. Possibly atheism? Or you can't be a fanatic and even if you contribute to the TO, out you go. It's possible TO didn't like religon and abolished it. The TO was allowed to attack pirates who raided them, th TO's response to the Vasari were frigates that were converted to fight pirates. Much like how the pirates converted the TEC ships into their own. [/quote] <p
...which brings me to 8- If a planet is expelled from the Trade Order, it can apply for membership again, but only once it has met all the necessary requirements. (so far its only 70% approval rating) BUT the Council can still decide that the planet is more trouble than its worth and deny it membership (again, 2/3 vote yea or nay)
[quote who="-Ue_Carbon" reply="9" id="2448973"] After all current goverment each goverment sets up their representaves and ambassadors. You could put a limit if you want I just dont any reason too. Each sepreate goverment should regulate their own ambassadors. [/quote] It's not an ambassador thing, its a representative thing. Like any government job, there's a term which consists of a period of years before it is up for reelection. The person presiding in that position can be vot
[quote who="-Ue_Carbon" reply="5" id="2448948"]Well, lets break down the current principals you have: 1. sounds right. 2. There was no wars all disputes were setted in Court. (But still sounds like something just incase.) 3. I dont think the Trade Order could attack anything untill the TEC. 4. Sound resonable, but Im not sure if that was a problem till the Vasari showed up. 5. The one representive sounds good, though I would think how lon
Oh yes I definitely agree to that.
I feel like there wouldn't be much of a difference between learning from entrenchment and vanilla sins. True, entrenchment has starbases and mines and anti-structure ships and such but... what I recommend for new players (cause it REALLY helps u out) is to start a small map just by yourself, without any enemies, and just go through colonizing all of it. And read what everything does, and pretty much learn the basics. No pressure, no time table, just you and...you. I would go through t
I feel like they would have a distinct set of rules. The Trade Order was focused on profits, but I don't think they let just anyone in.
So I've been wondering... (and needing for my Sins story Sinners ) what the conditions were for planets wishing to be accepted into the Trade Order. (careful, NOT the Trader Emergency Coalition, the Trade Order , before the TEC). Here's what I've come up with, hopefully not too closely copied from the Charter of the United Nations, but I could really use some Sins community help. (I will, however, make the final judgements on what should

This is the complete story so far. Do you mean one giant thing without comments separating them? No. The blog should meet that need, though. It'll be easy to just click on the chapter you want from the navigation bar on the side.
[quote who="CrusaderScott" reply="3" id="2444917"] One tip: In the world of naval operations, when referring to the name of a vessel, you don't need to put "the" in front of the name. I still catch myself making this mistake, though.[/quote] I actually know that, ha. Idk, it just feels wrong on my tongue without it. When I'm referring to a certain ship, I put the. Like if I said, "Call the Lusitania !" But if I was just saying "Starships Lusitania and
If you have the time and you believe it can work...do it! [quote who="VicenteC" reply="6" id="2444501"] Doing worth to read, well constructed stories is out of the reach of a computer right now. You can put lots of texts and then select some of them in a randomized way and try to hide that fact better or worse, but generating "unique and novel background and backstories" is sadly not doable right now. [/quote] He may find a way, don't be so quick to judge.
To maybe get a few more people, I'm going to start a blog for Sinners, which can be found HERE . I haven't gotten around to posting the chapters yet, but I have the best (you can't even try and argue that with me) background title picture. Just go ahead and check it out, maybe become a follower so you get the new posts. I'll still post here on the forums, but its always nice to get an email saying I've added something new in
Im sorry allegiance i only read the first paragraph of that. but let me summarize it even further. we asked u if u hav any proof that the devs researched the word navy. ur argument to us is how do we no they didnt ....well we don't. but we're not going around saying they did. Your whole argument is based off of the fact that the devs researched what the word navy means. Our argument is that they picked the best thing they could think of off the top of their heads. well, basically. we
hopefully [e digicons]:|[/e] but dont forget! its 2 new chapters, not one.
[quote who="Allegiance86" reply="257" id="2443918"]And your basing your opinion on the idea that because the game is watereddown the Devs did no research. Maybe when you come up with stuff you do little to no background checks on what your trying to convey. But I can guarantee you they didnt just read a scifi book. Ask any REAL scifi writer where they come up with ideas. And theyll tell you they do research on whats known in science to be real or whats not. Im not even freakin
Why would they do research for what they wanted TDN to be! I don't need extensive knowledge of the military to make an opinion on Sins. America's Army would be a different story....but Sins needs little to NO knowledge about the military to run. You're basing your opinion on the fact that many things in Sins has to do with the Navy. No shit! As you said, countless sci-fi books base their spaceships on naval terminology. All the devs would have had to do to base certain aspects of their game w
Cause we want it to be is a completely legitimate answer.....tell me allegiance, did the devs do all this research to come up with what the letter N should mean, or do u think they just picked what they wanted it to mean? Which makes more sense.
[quote who="Allegiance86" reply="242" id="2442933"]C.I., I take your statement as an admittance you dont have anything to stand on and offically giving into the fact the Navy side of the debate has officially established itself and your "Cause we want it too" is just you giving up the debate. ::VICTORY SCREEN FOR TRADER DEFENSE NAVY:: [/quote] thats the complete opposite of what i said. didnt u read it?
[e digicons]:troll:[/e] she lives! [e digicons]\o/[/e]
So i'd like everyone who's still reading this to leave a comment. Has Sinners finally run out? Does no one read it anymore? If not a lot of people comment....i might just stop writing. I do have my other book that needs to get written, after all.
[quote who="Allegiance86" reply="238" id="2442438"] I still havent seen anything from the Network side of the debate on why its Network..........only a large distraction that took up almost two pages. Ive listed what the Navy side has listed as their references, which heavily back up our arguement. So who over there on the Network side is going to take up the mantle and lead your group and give us Navy guys a run for our money? [/quote] Ok here's our strongest debate. Which,
