speaking of which, can IC post a full tech tree? just for us unable to access the beta through technical/intelligence (why didn't you order the beta you FOOLS!!!) issues?

I did, but my shitty computer can't play it. and my parents just completely jipped me out of getting the new computer that I've been planning all month long.

Wow, what are your system specs?

I played sins for the first time to day, Imo there is way to little research .
But then again there can be too much. But there should at least have twice the amount there is now. I plow through the research too fast.

Imo the amount of research fits nicely. Ofc more allways help

Tbh i think the research vary greatly. If you are very active in combat you burn alot of ships = less money for research. But if you turtle or its peacefull in your part of the galaxy then yes, you can go through the research rather quick. Also your amount of resources set in the options have something to say.

As the captial ships rise in level they can get more fighters. I think the carrier goes from 2 to 6 squads while a normal ship goes from 1-3. But i agree. Imo let the carrier start with 6 squads and keep it at that and then remove the squads from the other ships.

I would just like add my support for a bigger tech tree,the one in the beta is far too small for a wannabe 4X.In epic games you will finish all the research early in the game.Not good.

yeah, for me the general rule is;
bigger tech tree = more fun.

I agree with most of the above posters. The tech tree could use an expansion

And that should not be the case in an epic game.
If it`s epic then it should a lot longer to complete the tech tree.
At the very least double it. Add some tech that takes very long time to get.

The TEC were traders not warriors. So it makes sense that they would accumulate credits faster then the other races. And as it says in the Beta not everything for the TEC is in. And it is a Beta, however I do agree that the research tree should be a bit bigger. Possible adding the capital ships to the tech tree.

I disagree with this, however, this is somthing that should have a slider to determine the speed at which research is conducted.

People who want multiplayer games to last less than 2 hours should have the ability to get through tech tree more quickly and players that want the long drawn out epic feel can slide it up so that research takes forever. Don't forget also that there is a whole other tech tree coming and more additions to the current one including more artifacts.

If you were playing against a human opponent who was focusing on ship construction, you would most likely be destroyed if you were focusing on initial research. I just focus on a couple population improvements to help my income and then get to cap ships, but war and colonization are primary. 700 credits for a new research station is two and 1/3 scout frigates.
