[quote]I thought you were having trouble getting Sins to play on your machine. How do you know about the bounty system?-HM[/quote] I've played the game at a friend's house a few times, and I've been reading the manual while trying to get the game to work...

The AI also use bounty as a way to get players other than pirates to attack you (you get credits for destroying one's base if s/he has bounty on their head and who doesn't want free money?).

Okay, I've got it registered and installed on my computer, but when I try to play it its just a black screen, no sound or anything. Any ideas?

[quote]Using Stardock Central.[/quote] Where do I go in Stardock Central? I can't find the 'Register & Download Sins of a Solar Empire' button.

How do I download and register the game? I've upated my computer and everything, but nothing seems to be working.

Whats a firmware update, and how can I get it?

Its both a CD-ROM and a DVD-ROM drive, my other games work on it, Sins will only work on my laptop.

When I put the disk in it doesn't even spin, it just makes these wierd clicking noises. I used this web site to test my computer and it said that I would be able to run the game. http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest
