defence is nerfed a little. I can have a fleet and many guass platforms (say 10) and a repair platform. But siege frigates en masse can destroy a maxxed out population quicker then I can destroy them. Siege frigates have to cost more to build, be weaker, and hit softer and take up a bigger logistics spot. They should be completely toast against any other space craft because, as i understand it, their weapons are for planets. I alt+missle platforms to focus on one siege frigate at a time whil

then it becomes very difficult to win if you only have two planets that are well protected. it seems that if you should pay in crystal and gold for knowledge that that does not disappear from your "knowledge" once attained.

I noticed that if I researched something that took 4 research stations and researched that item, that if I dismatle/skuttle a station that would bring me under the 4 previously required, I won't be able to build another structure gained from the previous research. For example, I researched Media hubs pretty deep into their abilities like almost no where to go in that direction and then I tried to take down labs to clear logistics space for a crap load of media hubs, but all of the sudden it tol

I don't think it needs a campaign. There is so much you can do in the game as it is.

k. will have to try this next. thanks.

I have been playing since Beta 2. Now that I have the real game, it is superior to all others I have. The AI is good, and I play on normal. My first game I restarted and still lost though I started from a previous save and tried a different approach. The graphics are great and my system is stable. I have found the pirates workable reading the advice given in this forum. I have found the diplomacy missions workable and in fact satisfied a few while not intending to!!! Thing is, I am s

I have being playing this game off and on and I have, what even now, is still considered a fast. rig. 680i, 8800gtx, 6600 quadcore oc'd to 3 ghz. Though multitasking is cool, I notice that Sins seems to be a CPU hog. For example, I can usually capture video from a camcorder using pinnicale and do other things on the computer. BUT, if I am playing sins, I will drop frames in the video capture. Ofcourse, this could have to do with disk access more than CPU access. Perhaps I need to set an af

I have an issure with the mouse too. I have the logitech MX revolution. I am used to double clicking on items to "center" them and then safely zoom into them. In beta 4, it often takes two tries. also, there is a gap in the zoom where it loses its "center" and goes off course. zooming troubles bother me because seeing the details is supposed to be a big part of this game.

i don't know if it was mentioned, but a ship that is "leveling" up should be as is, but blink. a blinking icon will be hard to miss. even when the planet is not selected on the master bar on the left, the little block that represents it (or ships of its class) should still blink. so either the actual ship icon blinks or the smaller square block representation should blink. Also, when actually looking at the ship exploded cloeup view, it should blink in some way.

well, you have the ability to know when hostile ships are coming. What about given a game time (when we of course get a game time)?? If it says "enemy eta in 20 minutes" and you can summon a force strong enough to delay them in 18 minutes, or await a more powerful force (all being pulled from different systems) you can better decide what to do. Also, I do feel that the icon display for distance BETWEEN planets is fine, but one in orbit it seems like things should move a bit faster.

I think the computer has a distinct advantage when traveling into battle. It no doubt has the eta's clocked, but the player has no option to show the eta of a deployment.

1) I had a decent sized fleet. I had all of the the resource asteroids mined on my 5 systems. I don't know if scuttling a ship frees up its crystals or not, but maybe it should. At one point I lost my whole fleet in a battle. I wanted to build a new one, but I had too few crystals and I would have been an easy target for the least of the races. I took over a few planets prior to that, but their asteroids were spent. I gained very little. But I know of races that had twice as many ships as

I am also not sure how to unassign a ship currently in a fleet.

I have not played the game enough, but I noted that each planet has a loyalty factor. It seems that planets should be able to rebel against you. But I have not played the beta enough to see if this happens.

In the beta, the other races go in and out of favor too quickly. happens in the real world too, but i agree with you I think they have improved the AI in every way quite a bit for the patch and for beta 3. They like to not tell us what they're doing so we can have some surprises, so I think you should wait till the end of next week (patch) or the middle of next month (beta 3) to ask taht question <br/

In the beta, the other races go in and out of favor too quickly. It doesn't seem real enough. It seems to me that IF you break an alliance, you should pay some type of penalty. Maybe, and it may already be this way, the other races frown upon those that break pacts?? Dunno. In the first game I played, one of the races I had a cease fire pact with kept asking me for help, but I was aligned with his enemy also. Perhaps he sensed that and broke the accord, but something needs to be tweaked I

my take on this is quite simple. if you are taking a huge fleet to destroy a plant, why would you want to have staggering enterances??? Everything should be able to leave and arrive at the same time even if it is at the pace of the slowest ship ala Rebellion.

yeah, I found it. thanks.

I have explored all of my own galaxy and can see others, but I cannot get to them. However, one race already has. How do I do it?? I tried taking my scout and nothing happens.

Look around , maybe there is another game you want, or see if you can get a refund for the 5 you didn't use , or just save them for the inevitable expansion... yep . . . expansion is what i am thinking. playing the demo now.

downloading now. though, I had to buy 10 tokens. where will I use the other 5???

Multi is on drugs... go here : https://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/store.aspx And click the option to buy the digital download with TOKENS! 5 Tokens [TotalGaming.net Membership - Digital Download Only] If you want you can also email [email protected] if you want

You buy tokens from https://www.stardock.com/ and you choose preorder by tokens and you will get a key right away all i see is an option there to buy software but not tokens per se. What am I missing? thanks.<br/

ok. i do not know exactly what tokens are and so i assume i have none. thanks.

just to confirm, July 31 has passed (it is aug 12) and I have no pre-order in. So, if I pre-order now I will have to wait to play the beta 3 OR the final retail but certainly cannot get the beta 2 at this point?? thanks.
