What part of winter ? These begin 2010 or these end 2010 ? Knowing the usual delay for release, i bet on Christmas 2010...

A year long beta? Unless something goes horribly wrong, I don't think so. I'm thinking February 2010, just like Entrenchment.

Winter 2010 almost certainly means February/March, not December. Winter doesn't end until mid March.

I really enjoy sins and was thirlled with entrenchment.  Looking forward to hearing some more details on this.

The better question is how does Kitkun constantly respond to posts minutes after they are posted???

Combo of nothing better to do, and... not much else, really. I just pop in in the middle of doing other stuff if it involves being on a computer and not in a game.

Um... no it won't. They're planning to make at least 3...

Reply #18 Top

they were planning to make exactly three, with the third about new offensive weapons and ships, and then possibly move on to a sequel

sad this will be the last expansion for sins... <-- this statement is fact, as mentioned in stardock irc chat.

i think Sins2 is where they want to go with the franchise. But any info on that seems hush hush. All I've been told is wait for PAX >_>

Dang :(

 

Wait... this means Sins 2 might be 'on the plate' soon!

 

Woot, yet another beta to be involved in!

I'd be all for Sins 2 being single player only, with a story to follow along ( ala homeworld).

Only diplomacy left then... just hoping sins2 doesn't turn out like supcom2...

Did'nt you know?  Kitkun has a program that calls her (his?) cell phone whenever a new thread is started.  That picture is of Dick Chaney. Laughing.

No, i was talking about the changes in supcom2, if you've been to those forums lately it's not pretty... the entire community (practically) is screaming NO!!! and the devs are just laughing to themselves... But let's not drag that fight here, forged Alliance was an improvement IMO over the original, just took some getting used to.

Anyway, back to sins, diplomacy looks great and hopefully it won't be the last x pack.
