If the mod is that old and hasn't been updated, you're probably not missing much.

Are we talking about original Sins or Entrenchment? If its original Sins there is nothing that can be done because you have 1.191 for that one. If its Entrenchment fully up to date Trinity should already have Entrenchment 1.051, so no patch is necessary all you need to do is run the Entrenchment.exe instead of the Trinity.exe in your SoaSE folder.

I have Trinity, and my Entrenchment folder states I have version 1.042. Can I get a link to download 1.051?

The computer I have Sins on doesn't have a better internet connection then Dialup. Is there an executable file for 1.051 that I can download seperately to install from a remote computer?

I don't want or have the time to download the entire game all over again, unfortunately. My broadband is finky at best.

So there isn't an update that can actually be downloaded and installed seperately from the main game at all? I actually have to download the entire game in order to get a single measly little update?

Alright, I've been unable to use my main for a while anyway for various reasons. So I'll go see how large a file I need to download. Thank you for the help and the information at least. I'm far more used to the older style of updates when autoloaders didn't exist or were developer toys at most. I find full-scale automatic patching too much to bother with, seeing as I don't dwell within reach of the advanced high-speed broadband towers that a lot of people take for granted.

I've more come to the conclusion that instead of keeping piracy down, more elaborate and complex security measures simply distil it. Look at Steam, designed as a copy protection system and cracked mostly on the same basis that I take issue with this kind of development system; it appeals to the vocal core of high-speed internet junkies but leaves the average rural computer user totally at a loose end, since you implicitly -need- the advantages of living very near a high-capacity broadband outlet in order to use them. Thus instead of preventing piracy, measures like this just segregate it out into more easily definable and recognisable factions.

Basically piracy and counter-piracy form their own little version of the Cold War. Whatever one side develops, the other side is obliged to counter as quickly as possible. Personally, I’ve found that the kind of people that pirate games are the kind that wouldn’t or couldn't buy them in the first place. While I applaud Stardock itself for not endorsing a massively convoluted and counter-productive system of copy protection, certain other franchises (looking at YOU here, Assassin’s Creed) do themselves no favours by demanding that their user base go through the rough equivalent of the maintenance checklist on a nuclear submarine every single time they actually play their games. It does nothing but make the corporations who oversee these franchises look like paranoid dictators and give potential pirates a wonderful privateer-esk motivation to rope in and pillage the capitalist merchantmen of their ill-gotten gains to return them to the underpaid middle and lower classes denuded of their rightful pleasures in life.

 . . .Okay, I’ve totally made a lecture out of all this and I really shouldn’t have, but its 6.30am with sleep still dancing just out of reach and nothing else to do but watch silly YouTube videos. So if I offended anybody, then I'm sorry.

Copy game to comp with internet. Install Impulse and point it to the game. Update. Copy it back.

I'm using my laptop, that does not have Sins installed, nor is capable of doing so.
