For pc gaming multiplayer is where the money is. If you only use a cd key type of protection which is something rather easy to crack but if there is an aditional server side check (on your end) then the illegal keys can easily be blocked or will be in use 24/7 anyways. And for the love of god don't protect LAN play especially if you want the game to be popular on lan parties. This way the single player will function mostly as advertisement for the multiplayer that will bring in

This game has soooo much potential it's almost scary... In a space RTS such as this one you can go so indepth in almost every aspect of it. Such as.. - indepth trading system between planets where every planet has its own commodities - indepth fleet options such as choosing your own ship staff (optional theres always a default ship staff avaible) - Alien races - Make pirate a playable race etc..
I would prefer a dedicated sins site for hosting mods and such... filefront is a pain in the ass <_<
Great game I would really like to see much more politics/Diplomacy/Trading between planets. My idea is the following: Each planet is different (duh) so each planet should have its own specialities when it comes to tradable commodities. For example a large earth like planet could have commodities such as food, water, air, weapons etc. Where a desert like planet with a large research lab on it could sell certain research related items while they will need things
