Yarlen,

I have to say that I am both dismayed and actually insulted by some of the posts here. Those who have such a clearly low opinion of Stardock and Ironclad should really just leave this community. We balance the game based on the best interests of both single- and multiplayer.  Often those two things coincide, but sometimes they do not. The multiplayer base of Sins is a small minority of overall players, so when push comes to shove, single-player gets the benefit. During development and post release of Sins: Rebellion, we have been very attentive to the multiplayer community's balance concerns and will continue to be. Just because we don't agree with some of the things suggested does not mean we are idiots or don't know our own game - that charge is quite ridiculous.

Locking threads because you don't like a couple of posts is out of line.  We paid for our privilege to post our opinions.  Fix the game, we'll have a higher opinion of Stardock, but the lot of you have earned some nerd/troll-rage.

SP is often boring because of an AI that doesn't know what to do, so people go to MP and/or Modding or Leave.

MP is unbalanced, community banning factions, players go play SP, private matches or Modding or Leave.

After they run the loop, what remains?  Fix the issues, get Kudos.  Ignore them some more and you might get your "JUST LEAVE THIS COMMUNITY" wish and not have any dedicated SP, MP or Modders around, then the newbies flounder and leave.

Balance thread continues -post kindly, but honestly
