I didn't just mention planet defense, there is also fleet combat. At every battle I shouldn't be able to just set my targets to what ships I want blown up first and walk away to get something to drink, knowing right away I'm not going to lose because my opponent can't pull something unexpected. But at the very lest I would LOVE to see a ship that is a mobile PJI or can do splash damage to ship to turn off their jump for 60 seconds. Techs like that can change how a battle turns out. J

So basically more choices and options would ruin the game? Let's just leave it so everyone really has to do just the same thing to win for each race. Because trying to out think what your opponent will do, would just ruin it and not add real time "strategy" to the game.

Once again, about it not really being a 4X. A wider path to choose from for techs can help narrow this. Take this as a scenario, one of you choke point worlds just had 4 capital ships drop in and with a few cruisers. You start focusing on the capitals because you figure they're most likely the biggest threat. But by the time it's to late to change targets you find out your opponent just spent a good deal of time researching his capital ships shields to make them tanks. But didn't resea

I agree teching shouldn't be the only way to win, but jokes on you, as it stands teching isn't even a way to win or get measurable advantage. You still have to kill everyone or make nice with them. No Tech victory at the moment. Aswell that's not what I said at all, a tech level 7 fleet should have no problem with a tech level 7 planet. A tech level 1 fleet should have a problem with a tech level 7 planet. So if all things being about equal tech wise there is no turtling.

I just can't help but feel completely unsatisfied with the Tech tree in Sins. It's so small, it almost makes me feel like tech was a second thought to the designers. First and foremost of my dislikes is there is no really Tech gap. I find myself in a pitch battle with an A.I. opponent that is only level two or three into military research and I have researched everything possible, I should be able to wipe the floor with him.
