For some reason my post wouldn't show up. The second time I posted they both showed up. Here's yet another request for better forum software...sigh.

They definitely need to be refined. Right now Vasari have the best starbase because you can move it. The others are way too cripped to be useful. There are huge inequities (as the developers are aware). I'm sure we'll see some balancing soon.

Niether of those worked for me either on my Vista PC. You'd think this would be easy and the MODs would know, but I guess not. I too am wasting time trying to track them down. If anyone actually knows where to look or why this has to be some stupidly complicated, please let me know. Well, I finally found it for Vista: C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\ How about making this more accessible or at least putting it in a FA

Stardock, please fix or kill Impulse (and then we could return to Stardock Central which actually worked reliably). I used to use Stardock central on my three computers. One at home running XP Pro, one at work running XP Pro, and a notebook, running Vista. It worked fine on all three. I never had a problem with it. Since switching to Impulse, I've had consistent problems on all three computers. A good friend of mine who plays Sins, also h

Well, it's been more than 24 hours and still no serial number nor any word from Stardock on what's up. Can I please get my serial number? I ordered early in the hopes I could get it early. Now I'm just hoping I can get it at all. I emailed Stardock sales, but still no word from them either.

Well this sucks. A friend of mine just preordered a few days ago and he already got his serial. I preordered MONTHS ago and still don't have mine. What's up with that? Better to order late?

Agreed. I think I'll get a massive headache from just looking at it. Really bad color scheme.

Yeah it's yet another infintile popularity system. (like we need more of those)...

I play online coop with friends against AI opponents. While AI is a lot more predictable than playing against real people, I'm an older gamer, 45, and really get sick of the childish crap with online play. Sadly, most of the time when I have played online some immature jerk, who has much more free time than I do, spends all of his time destroying opponents that aren't even any real competition to him. And if he starts to lose, he just bails. I'll take

It's what I would call a good start.

Only through buggy Impulse?!?! NOOOOOOOOoooooooooo......... I have had nothing but trouble with Impulse. I'd gladly pay more to get a copy some other way that actually works. I'm still having problems with some of my GalCiv2 installs on Impulse. Frankly, my impulse is to ditch Impulse. I just tried to look up this expansion pack on Impulse and guess what? It's not there (or I couldn't find it at least after seaching and searching). If I buy

I think the original poster makes some good points. I loaded up the beta (after finally getting Impulse to work -please go back to Stardock Central until Impulse at least exits alpha stage testing) and I too was surprised by how little had changed. It mostly seemed cosmetic to me. I agree about the fighter/bombers point wholeheartedly.

First: PLEASE FIX FIREFOX COMPATIBILITY! 3.0 has been out awhile now, and we're still getting the same error. Every other site I visit that had issues fixed it WEEKS AGO!!! Second, why did you use such a buggy delivery method as impulse to deliver the beta? I mean, Impulse looks and feels like an early alpha. I can't get it to work properly on any of my three home computers. I can't get it to work properly on my work computer. NONE of my friends can get i

I'll try that. Can you give me some more info on BITS service? I've never heard of it. As to more info, I'm not sure what you need but will be happy to provide it. I originally had the beta installed, but have since used Stardock Central to upgrade to the non-beta. Stardock central handled this without issue. Impulse seems to be confused by it and refuses to give me any updates. Thank you for the help.

Is anyone else having problems with Impulse? I can't get it to work right on either of my two computers and a friend of mine is having problems with his SoSE install as well. On my notebook it says it is preparing to download but then never does anything. On my desktop PC it won't update my latest Galactic Civ addon thought Stardock Central works with it just fine. Frankly, I'm really unimpressed with Impulse. It consistently doesn't work. I just want

Yeah, definitely don't turtle. They've crippled your ability to defend so you are forced into an offensive approach, like it or not.

Yes it does need a campaign. It would *GREATLY* add to the immersive experience and get a lot more sales if there was a campaign. I really hope they add one.

Impulse hasn't been working very well for me. It won't let me update some games that Stardock Central will.

I regularly play MP games with a friend of mine where I host the game and he connects to my machine from his house. We just use port forwarding and it works fine. The one problem we have run into is if we're playing a big game we can't reload it later because his machine will never catch up and it will list it as lagging even though his ping is like 29 ms.

Then tell the rest of us. I still haven't found it.

I don't see why you guys are complaining. I really appreciate that they're giving us an approximate release date. If you don't make it, that's OK. I know when it might be out, and that's all I expect.

Yeah the game is far too one sided toward offense, so you are forced into playing offense. Defensive structures are either too weak or you're not allowed to have enough to matter so strategy is severely limited. I hope the developers fix this.

What is HDR? Some sort of spelling software perhaps?

[quote]When the cap ship is ready, create a fleet out of it, build a squadron of fighters[/quote] Could you explain why you recommend fighters over bombers please?

I just wish they'd add an option to add more defenses for those of us that would like them. Maybe a technical slot capacity slider you set at the beginning of the game or something.
