My only problem playing SOA2 doesn't come from the mod, it comes from the diplomacy problems of the standard game. When my allies start killing each other or leave the gravity well when the Borg show up it makes me pull my hair out. Is there anyway to get my allies to all hold hands and sing kumbaya when the Borg try selling their magazines door to door? Wish List: I would love to have a diplomacy option that let me broker a peace between f

When fighting the Borg, as an Andorian [e digicons]:grin:[/e] , you must be aggressive. If you turtle they will steamroll you. So scouting is important and get that "Lingering Persistence" upgrade so that when your scouts are destroyed you can keep an eye on our Borg buddies. If you are lucky enough to spawn next to the Borg get 6 Intrepid as soon as possible. Use them as a kill team. Queens can be nasty. Remember time is your enemy with the B

This was a good learning experience. I stayed up till midnight (Eastern Standard Time) thinking it would just magically appear on your site or Steam. I'll be at work when it drops then; thus delaying my gratification. Oh Stardock you have taught me so many of life's important lessons. backs out of the room slowly...

When you are attacking the Ferengi Cap ships don't chase them. Or at least don't be behind them when they fire that weapon that looks like telescoping rings (blanking on the name). Micro your ships to be on the left or right of them. I feel confident that you can take them out with a few Excelsior and Miranda. Two of them is a bit rough to tackle in the early game though. Losing some ships on the front line to

Reply to Still no boxed version of Rebellion out there? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

This is where I bought the boxed version. It's currently showing as unavailable but it would be a place to start looking. Australia is your last best hope: that and this space station. Hold the line. Good luck soldier. http://www.fishpond.com.au/Games/Sins-of-Solar-Empire-Rebellion-IBM/0609224781209

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire®: Rebellion gets its first DLC pack! in Press Releases (Sins) Sins Forums

If the DLC is a way to upgrade/add new features exploitable by modders, extend player options and continue to reinvigorate the game then give me 1,000's of DLC at $5 each; it's a small price to pay for the game I love. This is not sarcasm. Everyone who plays on the largest maps possible for days at a time knows what I mean. Sins is not "just a game" for some of us. backs out of the room slowly... [

Playing it now. At first my Norton's were flagging it as a naughty but the developer must have figured out why and fixed it. So now Norton likes it just as much as I do. And yes I see this game as a great Step 1. Step 2 is kind of the skies the limit thing as this developer is very prolific. He's getting good feed back from early users like some guy named DevildogFF. There is no telling where he will take this game. Maybe that's some of th

Playing against the Borg, especially multiple Borg, can be a ridiculous amount of fun. You've got to work your diplomacy skills and hope your allies don't tear each other apart before you beat the Borg down. If you find it too easy to beat the Borg, because you are so awesome, then you can put artificial limits on yourself. Like limiting the tech level you will allow for yourself or by not building certain classes of vessel at all. You can simulate what it woul

Reply to New PS4 uses AMD chip in Personal Computing Sins Forums

If AMD keeps making incremental improvements they will always have more than enough power to plough through at a respectable rate. Most of my machines are running 965 Black Edition and I see no reason to change them. Though the 3750K in my sons machine is pretty awesome. Raise a glass to both these fine companies. Raise another for Stardock of course. [e digicons]:beer:[/e] And then as you as you are staggering toward the door make sure you

I think what we are really seeing is the demise of Dell. They should have reinvented/reinvigorated themselves instead they are making a bad bet on Microsoft to solve their sales problem. (They don't have a gambling problem they have a money problem. [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e] ) Microsoft is going to force them to ship 8 on their systems.
