During this play through, I played as the TEC Rebels on a Huge Random (Multi) map. Here are my notes: System Specs: Intel Core i7 2600k @ 3.4Ghz MSI Z68a-GD65 Motherboard 16Gb Corsair Vengeance PC-14400+ Memory @ 1866mhz Installed on separate 2Tb Dedicated Western Digital high performance SATA III FAEX model hard drive connected to a full SATAIII controller. 2Gb AMD Radeon HD5970 (Dual GPU) Graphics Card.

Just got my key... Downloading now... Order number was in the 21716XX range.

As the dev's have stated multiple times, it doesn't matter if the purchase is available elsewhere. Regardless of whether you buy it from Stardock, Steam, Impulse or any other possible future retailer/distributor. The game will still require Steam to install and play. I'm sorry to tell you this, but even though this may cause you to cancel your order, the move to steam is ultimately (over the whole) going to expand Sins sales and market exposure. Not be of d

[quote who="SargentAla" reply="101" id="3095844"]So I'm assuming It starts with Order number 1, then goes on..? This may take a while. I'm like #2175XXX[/quote] Looks like both me and you have a while to wait... I'm in the 2171 range... damn.

errrr.... I'm chompin at the bit scanning emails waiting for my email to hit. [e digicons]:cylon:[/e]

Oh hell yeah.... Can't wait.

What.... No one else finds this to be an interesting question?

That is actually an interesting question come to think of it. Under the following situation. AI or opposite player is a TEC rebel who's allied with the pirates. You are a faction of anything other than a TEC rebel, but are allied with a TEC rebel. Would you be immune to pirate attack as well. I would doubt it. I would bet you are just as susceptible to pirate attack as anyone else other than the TEC Rebels who are allied with the

No chance... I like Sins the way it is. Space focused. If I want to play a ground focused strategy game of a large scale like this, I will generally play Supreme Commander Forged Alliance. The first Supreme Commander series... Not the second. They seriously screwed up Supreme Commander 2. Dumbed down way too much.

I did read in the interview regarding rebellion and they did touch on the prospect of the developing Sins 2. While the guy who was being interviewed didn't openly admit that Sins 2 was in development or not. There was a response that hinted to a Sins 2, but not actually admitted to, when questioned about the feared 4th race that has the Vasari on the run. Actually wait one minute... It will be easier to quote it. "GameSpy: Why did you decide to split the

fair enough. I was wrong. Thanks for clarifying that Yarlen.

Ok... Maybe your right that it works differently with digital distribution. But I don't think it's as clear cut as Stardock setting the prices. The reason I say this is because Steam runs sales every day. Often multiple sales on multiple games from multiple publishers. If what you say is true, then Steam would have to contact multiple publishers every day to get approval to run these sales. Especially at the sales prices Steam is charging. Such as L

[quote who="Rebell44" reply="124" id="3089165"] Prices are set by publishers, not by Valve (except of Valve games). My solution is to wait for such game to drop to price I consider reasonable...[/quote] Wrong... Publishers set the MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Retailers buy the products (or in Steam's case Serial keys) at a reduced price. Then the retailers sell them at whatever price they deem fit to not only make a profit, but to compete

Definitely agree with you there. If it's one major complaint I would have with steam, it's that they really need to learn how to "properly" account for exchange rates. 35 to 40 pounds for a PC game is way too high. Especially when you can get the same PC games via online shops like game.co.uk for 25 pound. Or in the case of Sins of a Solar Empire Trinity, 17.95 GBP and you got the disc with it. So yes. Steams sales are better than retail sales.&nbsp

[quote who="Lord-Vale3" reply="109" id="3088392"] It is saved. Offline still doesn't work. You have to have been online at some point with Steam on for offline mode to work. [/quote] Yes, you will at one point. When you install the game and activate it. Other wise, it's just when you want to update it. [quote who="Lord-Vale3" reply="109" id="3088392"] I still have to be online at some point with Steam open for offline mode to work later

Um why... Steam is usually more expensive for new titles. You're better off with a retail version over steam on new releases. Also if you already have trinity or diplomacy, then you get the $10 preorder discount through stardock and still get a steam activation key when the game releases. Lazy or not, money talks. And my money told me to preorder via stardock and save some money in the process. It just makes sense. Oh, and steamworks titles always

I've also pre-ordered just this past week. Looking forward to the beta.

[quote who="JCD-Bionicman" reply="89" id="3087523"]Again people, what crack are you smoking? First of all, Rebellion isnt just a Steam exclusive, its a SteamWORKS exclusive. No offline mode.[/quote] Um, yes there is an offline mode. Have you ever even tried Steam? Played around with it's settings? Even looked at it at a friends house or even read up on it? Did you even read the myriad of other posts directly from Stardock in this thread? Here's ho

Sorry about that. Been awake going on 24hrs. Forgot to proofread. lol

Oh for crying out loud... Steam is not that bad. It's a free service. Always has been, always will be. Runs great sales all the time that beat any other platform and even retailers prices out there. Normal purchases are overpriced though. The DRM is minimal comparing appearances to what it actually does. And when compared to other forms of DRM is unobtrusive to the customer. Ubisoft anyone? As said many times before, it can be used completel

[quote who="Wunderbar_007" reply="50" id="3086920"]Thank you for the answer, although its not what I wanted to hear. Well, I guess if any game will make me dive into STEAM, it'll be this one. Damn you guys. I love you though. When will we find out about collector's edition? [/quote] I just have to join in on this one. Since there's no choice for people who have already preordered. If you are going to have a collectors edition, how about auto upgradi

Ok, I just re-submitted it via the email address you provided just to be sure.

Oops I just re-read it. I already submitted it when it gave me option to send the dump file.

It's the latest version with the hotfix. What do I use to open the dump file and submit it?
