[quote]it will not let you play games you buy in a box without being online (even for single player).Sure it will. I play nearly all my Steam games offline (with the obvious exception of TF2).You two are talking at cross-purposes. He's referring to the need to "validate" your install online (AKA: you have to have internet access), your talking about the ability to play off line once thats done (AKA once you've validated, you are, in theory, fine).[/quote] Maybe I have missed something,

Reply to Sins on Steam? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Steam stinks. It is intrusive, and it will not let you play games you buy in a box without being online (even for single player). Orange box is nothing more than a frontend for Steam. It is now uninstalled and will not be reinstalled on my system. Stardock has a much better system of once you register and download, it is really yours to play whenever and wherever you desire.

Reply to ship spammers-A Guide to Fighting Back in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

For me personally, I see this more as people wanting to win as fast as they can so they can move on to the next game, so they can win as fast as they can so they can move on the next game...ad nauseam. Spamming is a tactic, no doubt about that, but isn't it a tactic that is normally combined with rushing? And rushing is nothing more than trying to take the win as soon as possible. For me, I find that less than fun and would think that after awhile it would become borin

New Desktop Game Icon in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Is it possible for some of you more creative types to create a new Desktop Icon for the game? The one now is not that nice. What I am hoping for is one that has No words in it but only the Game Icon. This would allow it to be larger and more distinct. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I stick games out until the end; so I rather not play to serve someone's ambition to win at all costs so their name gets on a listing. I never said do not play to win, but if you simply play to win the most games possible, it is an eventual slide to play games against people th

1. A follow command/key so the player can follow a ship if they would like to do so. 2. More types of Point Defense Turrets. 3. Make a double Click on a planet take you to that planet and zoomed so you can view it complete workable area. 4. I know it is not likely, but more animations on the ships them self. They seem to be very static, with only a build vapor, or gun fire, etc. that shows up at times. They just do not seem to have many moving parts. 5. Greate

Reply to Noobs quitting - and why wouldn't they? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

For me personally, I rarely if ever play MP games any longer. I use to play online about 90% of the time but it seems all people are after is the win and not the fun of playing. I sold my copy of Age of Empires III due to the fact that, online everyone rushed for the quickest win possible. It did not matter if you listed the game as "No Rush 15 minutes" someone would join and rush to “prove” to you that this is the way to play the game. I am more of a slow/medium style player

Reply to My First Game...Several Questions in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Thank you guys for the replies; they are most helpful. After posting I figured out the little Yellow striped bar for the scuttle command. I wish you could group scuttle though. Odd that I think I have searched the entire solar system and only found a pirate base if they are the NPCs of the game. I will have to check again, but I think there are no others. Thanks again very nice community.

Question Regarding GalCivII, DA, and Gold Edition in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I have a question. I own the Collectors Edition of GalCivII and wondered if I bought the Gold Edition at a local store if DA will work with my original GalCivII version? Meaning; can I simply install the DA part of the Gold version with my current version of GalCivII and have it work with no problems and have all my Collectors Edition extras work? Thanks

By the way, I found a way to block IntelliTXT ads in Firefox: Thank you very much. I have now started using FF and installed this add-on. Now, no pop-up ads. Thank you very much. Everyone should use this.

Check out the last word in my first post. The word "game" (in this sentence: Would someone be so kind as to tell me what the manual is like for the game ?)is the hyperlink and it is in green. If you do not see it tell me what pop-up ad blocker you are using, so I can use it too! It is now no longer associated with dealtime, but it now says shopping.com.

A dedicated Stardock forum for Space Rangers 2 has been created here http://tgnforums.stardock.com/?forumid=424 This forum is a waste. I added one post and used the word "game" referring to SR2 and it created a link for an advertisement for dealtime. I would say stay away from these forums and do not even bother to go there.

Would someone be so kind as to tell me what the manual is like for the game? Is it useful or useless? I really wish there were an option to receive a hard copy of the manual if you DL the game.

I too intended to buy it but it was Starforced and that meant a No Buy for me. I would rather not support a program that they install Starforce on the Disk version but leave it off the DL version. There should be a patch to remove Starforce from the Boxed version of the game. I will not be trying the demo, nor buying the game. I do not and will not support those that use Starforce on their programs.

I had planned on getting it upon release, but with all the bugs, I will wait until they are fixed. I can only imagine that about the time to the bugs are finally fixed the price will be $19.99.

Then it is a matter of trade off: how much it costs to get a retail presence versus how many sales you will loose for not having a retail presence. And don't forget that Stardock get less money per box sold at retail than per game sold directly. Paying via cash (which can be Money Order, Check) does not have to mean retail, but it requires SD to

Online is fine, but will you allow people to pay via Money Order, or Check? Also, I see two icons in my post: Very Evil, and Cake Walk. I have never submitted anything for this game at all. Why would I have any type of listing. In fact if I did, I always play Pure Good in my game?
