Why can't you jsut do this?

I am appreciative of everything you've doen so far for sins

Ok, I'm going to ask you to make all expanisons compatible

And don't feed me any bull about it not physically being possible.Company of heroes did it, and yes the expansion was OP but nilla palyers COULD beat the expansionistas, through the use of strategy and tactics. So dont tell me that your game is so broken you won't be able to merge nilla and entr.

Ive already got the money to buy your expansion, but am hesitant to because you're about to release teh 2nd expansion that will split the playerbase AGAIN. defeating the point of me spending a measly 10$.

The current model for expanison will destroy your playerbase, if you do that then your demand will go down the toilet.

I want stardock to survive, because you're the type of develeoper can revolutionize the industry by creating new niches !AND NOT FAIL AT IT THE FIRST CRACK AROUND! I played 1.00 for awhile and I didn't find anything wrong with it despite the months of winning by players.

I'd liek to point out that if your playerbase is split between nilla and 1st there wll hardly be anyone to play with beacause as of now the playerbase for nilla-entr is 33.3-66.6 and about the same will happen with the next

it will become 22.2-45.5-53.3 you will only have 50% your playerbase even wanting to bother to buy your  3rd (expansion)

I realize that it would require you put alot of code into yoru next patch for nilla but it would be worth it and I believe you may revive your online playerbase by doing so. There is a simple solution to those who will complain abotu sbs being op.

Let people identify what kind of game the host is running. Thus those players can simply avoid games that contain any undesirable content and will leave the dissidents only themselves to blame. The way to resolve an issue is to make those apart of the issue responsible for the result.The same goes for real life social interaction and arbitration, so view yourselves, the developers, as arbitrators between the camps in the debates.

I jsut want to make this game live longer so we can all get the most out of it and I want Stardock to reap what it can.

Stardock ISN'T the developer!!! They are the PUBLISHER...

im not sure what you mean by making all expansions compatible..

 

if you mean that entrenchment players also being able 2 play vanilla games,

just quit, launch vanilla (i do agree they need a "launch Sins of a Solar Empire"  button on the entrenchment main menu like they have on sins of a solar empire main menu (launch Entrenchment) 

makes switching that much easier

 

ofc the dev's could put their time into the game auto-loading whatever game u joined (vanilla or entrenchment)

but imho that'd be time wasted on stuff they could've used 2 fix all the balance issues & such

shadow is right, anyways very few people play vannila online, and the few that do usually are less good than some.

Really anyone who wants to play online will continue to get the expansions.

He wants to be able to play me without him having Entrenchment when i do - hence I can build starbases but he can't...

Which is both not possible and hilariously bad :P

Not to mention that diplomacy would get technically "interesting" when one player works with the vanilla system and the others with the expansion two system.

(wouldn't want to see those debug lists!)

I am still just trying to comprehend why anyone would play vanilla sins in the first place.......it does not hold a candle to the combined nilla/entrench Sins and ..C'mon, it's 10 bucks to entrench.......few post back I read many people are buying crap games for 60 bucks or more like Spore, that gets played and then put away ...permanently.

And, why would anyone want to play "nilla  vs  entrench"...... how could that possibly be fair.   Matters not though...small game... small company..limited funds.....and they have already stated, you must have the same xp's loaded to play one another in MP.

Beside that, this game company has moved on for the most part to creating more games.......Sins xp content will be limited, with less and less emphasis placed on them and in truth I can not blame the Devs.......the XP will only cost 10 bucks and if the 2nd improves the game as much as the first xp did.  Woot.

OP needs to get his facts straight before ranting on about this.

 

1.  The expansions are not cross compatible, nor can they be.  However it is possible to still play vanilla if you want.

2.  Stardock is not the developer of this game so stop complaining to them.

My mistake, I apologize, btw I've bought the expansion.

Jsut wondering why they seperated the file types in the expansion from vanilla, though most points here are valid.

I'll not complain.
