I have to say after all of this...if you cant compete against the marza then play TEC and get one of your own. Either that or learn how to counter. While it may be the strongest cap ship, other races have non-cap ship advantages. I have yet to see an imbalance. TEC is probably the best noob race choice for the marza and ease of economics.....its not the be all and end all.

Okay, SOASE is definitely my favorite online game of all time. The original was great and Entrenchment has just made it even better.... I know it is almost cruel to ask about the next installment so soon but I salivating over further improvements and functions for the game! Any chance of a teaser of the next expansion or at least an idea of its overall conceptual contribution to the game? I apologize but when you make something this good, giving us so much faith

That's great to hear, I will be looking forward to it...I hope it outlines specific differences between races...what ships can't and can't do etc. I just really hope it comes out before too many people shift their attention elsewhere out of frustration. The more addicted the better for longterm online play (and obviously so they will be salivating over the next 2 add-ons).

I love sins. I read each change log quickly as it comes out, say "ooo" then forget all the details as I have a job and a life where I can't spend hours a day just trying to figure out how to play. Entrenchment looks great, I played the beta a bit...but geez.....what does what to who now? I can't even find how to remove mines...what the different mines do etc. You can imagine how I feel about not knowing what any ship really does now or what the counters are. Ye

I wan't to play the entrenchment add-on off-line to get the feel but to play on-line the version without entrenchment as it has many more players online at any given time..... I know there is a way to have both the original and entrenchment installed at the same time...some folders get copied etc etc...I just need to know how this is done as I cant find it in the forums anywhere.... Thanks in advance!

Now I did just buy a new system lately and haven't had much chance to play but I could swear that from a week ago the graphics are significantly improved...... Regardless, for a game that can be set for lower end systems to handle, when everything is cranked to the maximum, damn the game looks awesome now...... This scale PLUS great visuals is incredible, the only problem I am having is that I find myself getting my butt kicked because I am so busy watching ships fly around cl

I just got an I7 920, with the gigabyte 58x ud5 m/b, 6 gigs tri-channel 1600mhz ram, gtx 280 overclocked evga vid card, the antex 12 case, 2 640gb barracuda drives in raid 1 and another 1g barracuda, logitech mx 1100 mouse, logitech g15 keyboard, corsair 750w power supply...and it has made me very very happy! All in about $3000 canadian configured through ncix. I put vista ultimate 64 bit on it.

yeah I only have so much money to work with, the idea is to be expandable and keep smoking for a few years. I'll get vista in a couple of months but I figure building the hardware so I can upgrade over the next 4-5 years as needed and stay decent is better than rebuying from scratch every 2 years. Between overclocking options, adding ram and maybe dual vid in the future, it should be easily done....but only when needed and the prices come down. The system including a good ga

I just put an order in today for a i7 920, with the gigabite ud5 m/b, evga gtx 280 superclocked and 3x2gb tri-channel RAM.......my days of sins lagging are over soon, this game at max wont blink. The next step will be to dual boot with vista 64bit as yes it's good stuff (and my xp 32bit can only use 4 gb of ram anyway)...but as good as 64 bit is, I'll wait for ram to drop as there are 6 slots so I'll just add to the existing 6gb. Final step will to be add a 2nd gtx 280 as sli but

Thanks guys! It's a whole lot better to wait an extra day and have everyone download quickly than to have everyone struggling to get the files on time. Yeah, it should have been ready for today but kudos for making the hard call to anger a few impatient people instead of angering everyone because it takes forever. It's the right move to do things right. I too am looking forward to the entrenchment beta......bring it on!

Those are great tweaks. I wouldn't worry about most of the complaints because the majority are based on not paying enough attention to realize you can disable impulse from running until you need it. It's a nice downloader, perhaps the easiest fix is just educating people as to their options as it's obvious finding answers on their own is too challenging for many. Honestly, it's more of a user issue than a developer issue.

Man, all I play are rts and the odd sports game....I wish stardock did both because it's the only gaming company that does things right. EA needs to be squashed, they couldn't care less about quality or customer service.

I'm confused. I am logged in with the same account I used to buy sins. I downloaded fresh, and the "show pre-release versions" option is greyed out. I have confirmed it is registered........how am I supposed to get access to this? I read through this thread and have not seen anyone with the same issue.......I can't find anywhere where this exists in Impulse.

I think most importantly, multiplayer needs to be done differently......It's absolutely ridiculous for this type of game that killing the host ends the game. I am hoping alloy allowing everyone to host will lead to successful migration but as its never worked that might be a tall order........for instance I host all the time but it never migrates to me if someone else is hosting and they quit. This should be #1 priority!

I just hope to god that the new multiplayer system will prevent players from "quitting" instead of surrendering when they are losing. It's SO unsatisfying to not get a win after hours of play. Honestly, if someone has played for more than 20 or 30 minutes and they want to quit there is no reason why they shouldn't forfeit. I realize some would cheat to pad their stats but who cares (and a time minimum would make this a LONG process). Those who do play to win should at least

I love how when someone has a problem they declare the game "broken" or "unbalanced" like their perspective = fact for everyone. The game is great, there are [I]minor[/I] problems but they are being addressed, overall it deserves all the high ratings it gets.

There is no ranking system right now....with player drops etc it really doesn't matter as it doesn't really reflect success/failure. Maybe when the new online system takes effect there would be a point but you'd have to be slightly retarded to care that much about your wins under the current system
