Will the update be getting some optimizing? I'm having some wonky lag issues at about four fleet upgrades in on a 5 planet map. During combat the game will be moving fine at about 30fps. Suddenly though, it will slow down to 5-12fps for awhile(10-20 seconds) then pop back up to 30. This process keeps repeating. To avoid the subsequent "Oh yeah, what are your PC specs?" post.

[quote who="Attila464" reply="7" id="1991285"]why does making an entrechment mod prevent you from updating this?

Unfotunately I don't think I'll be able to update the older version to work with 1.12. [e digicons]:S[/e] I'm currently slowly working on an Entrenchment mod. It looks a lot different from the old version so I'm not too sure people are going to like it. [e digicons]:\[/e]

[BUG] Kol Muzzle Effect in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

There's a minor error in the muzzle effect of the front starboard, pun intended, autocannon. The muzzle effect needs to be rotated 180 degrees. It's been annoying me since since release. [e digicons]^_^'[/e]

Reply to Elemental Graphics and Art Direction in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I'm very pleased with the art style Stardock is taking for the game. Much like the World of Warcraft vs. Everquest 2 art debate, taking highly stylized graphics over more realistic darker tones produces a more colorful, creative and complete visual environment that will withstand the test of time.

Reply to Sins: Entrenchment Delayed to Allow for Public Beta Testing in Sins News Sins Forums

The way I understand it, a pre-order is needed to play the beta unless you're Brad, Blair or Craig. They have powers that allow them to get around the pre-order, while enticing others to fork over 10$. [e digicons]^_^[/e]

Reply to Impulse: We're listening in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Any chance of getting a "game manual" option when you right click games you've bought? Steam has this minor feature and I noticed its missing in the current version of Impulse. It has a dual purpose: filling the time untill the game downloads and making sure I have a clue as to what to do when I start playing. [e digicons]:d[/e]

I'll be back eventually. I ran into the school season and haven't had time to mod. My free time will be increasing as the months go on though as I'm slowly realizing school just might not be for me. I'd like to complete a really well done graphic mod so I'm not just another nerd in the crowd when I start applying for entry level jobs in the industry.

I`d like to see more accuracy rolls and armour deflection rolls at play. I`d like to see long fights suddenly transform into short ones, due to random chance and critical hits.

I just have some tweaking to do for the TEC graphics and those will be ready to go. A few of the texture changes adversely affected a few graphics. I also still have to tag the files.

I found a small graphic bug in the Kol. If you look closely, the right autocannon's muzzle effect needs to be rotated. It's currently firing into the ship. :d

Nice work. The game runs a lot better on my system even with the graphics cranked higher than they were before. :) P.S. New mod package soon? :d P.P.S Bailknight beat me to it. ;p

[quote]Glad to see you are back. I plan on using the race specific thing too. For example, I would love to use your mod, plus bailknight, plus the solar flair, at the same time, but for different races. It just requires having all three mods, and renaming all the files and editing all the races and ships. Lots of work, but big payoff considering having 3 different artistical effects. I am sorry to hear of the loss of all your files. The modding community has just taken a huge blow to the h
