Harpo, you really need to clean up the main post or start a new thread, because the main post is all over the place. in regards to me specifically, I'm getting a prompt window when i start the rebel mapupdater, it lists the found sins version as null, and "in the default location of \" local apps is: C:\Users\UserName\AppData Locak: and the sins user directory is: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\

You do realize that CO2 is a poor insulator of heat right? in fact it's approximately 1000 times weaker at holding into heat then Water Vapor. That fact alone means CO2 can't be a greenhouse gas, or if it is then Water Vapor is 1000 times more dangerous AS a Greenhouse gas. Secondly, CO2 emissions increase as a effect of heat rise, this is known as "outgassing" Thirdly, The Carbon Cycle, look it up Fourthly, we humans cause about 1% of the CO2 on this p

I have a question, If 32bit will only allow 2GB per process, then why not add a second process? Would that be possible? or am I way off? You start Sins and it has Sins A and Sins B processes, keeping the high demand items in Sins A, and storing lesser used things in Sins B. -Æ

[quote who="Everfades" reply="15" id="3185012"]Distant stars mod has planetary defences Just for the guy who said he wants them so badly [/quote] yeah I was about to say this, there is a PD system in Distant starts which uses the planet shield model, which corrdinates fire from the surface and so the PLANET ITSELF has weapons to fire at would be aggressors. I love this, wish they would include it in the main game, allow planets to defend themselves, it makes sense.

[quote who="Pbhead" reply="5" id="3184596"] Quoting AgentExeider, reply 2the reason why you can't have more then one of the same kind of pacts is because when you have the pact, you BOTH get the benefit of the pact. If you had the same pact with 2 or more people, you would get a bonus for every pact you would have, in your case 3 friends, YOU would have 3 PACT Bonuses from the same pact. The same could be said if you were playing with NPCs against your friends,
