I know a lot of people seem upset, and looking at different things in the game i suppose one could be critical and upset with different aspects if it werent for several things. One is of course that the dev team is bending over backwards to accomodate us, the players, and two, when did you ever see a game company that was willing to do that?  I saw, but never played BioShock!!  Big creepy monsters, little girls and flamethrowers, dank dark corridors and tons of frame eating graphics and poor performance on my admittedly low end machine. But the company never cared whether i liked it or not, or said i liked it or not.

For my two cents, Sins is turning into a very very interesting game, a strategy game that has more than any other recent game that comes to mind. And a company that actuallyl cares about what i think. That is awesome!!  I recently downloaded and have been playing the Entrenchment expansion, and it is awesome. The purple skybox is beautiful!! and the new ships are interesting, and the mines have been great on my side, and a pain (which is a plus for the tec and vasari) when i run into a planet with Starbase and mines waiting for me. It makes the game play different, and is interesting in that the ships, the new antimodule for one, reminds me of a knight in chess, a given piece with a specific purpose. Not an all arounder, not a ship to use for just any old thing, but a ship that has a function, and does it very very well. It makes for interesting play, choosing ships the way one chooses pieces laid out on a chess board, where do i move what? Which piece goes where to what advantage? Those are interesting choices, instead of just gather anything and everything and hit the planet.

It makes for a very stretegic game, long yes, but so is chess, in single player, i can start a game and not finish for anther day, but it is very interesting play, not all hot and over. Anyway, i wanted to put my two cents in for a rousing approval for Entrenchment and say thank you to Stardock and Ironclad for a very nice and even polished beta. I know they say its all up in the air, or part of it, but i havent run into any problems in single player yet, after two days of play, and it is fun!! And new!!! And there are lots of new and interesting moves that are now possible that werent possible before.

So im enjoying the game, and the expansion alot!! And just wanted to let everyone know. If i sound like a fanboi, well, i like the game, what can i say!!  Its not the moon, or everything everyone wants, but hey, there are lots of companies that dont care what the players think. They make them and go on to the next one. This company cares, or they wouldnt be asking us, nor listening to us. And for that i am most grateful!!.

Thanks and take care, keep gaming and keep modding!!

Ive already started on my mini-mod for entrenchment!!  Im having a ball!!
