I would definitely go for a collector's box. The two things I would like most are an art book and/or a poster (in easy to frame dimensions). I love models and sound tracks and box art too. :)
Wow... Just finished a game of 1v1 as Vasari Loyalists and dang... stip mining is fun. I have to Wonder though if the capitol ship research is a but OP? Was cool when I finally researched that tech and with my existing fleet, did not need to build another research station the rest of the game, in fact, I got rid of my stations as I replaced them with capitol ships and build resource harvesters and such (not that I needed them at the rate I was destroying planets) 3 things I noticed th
I'd say this argument is mostly dead, and in Kronos' defense, he has said this is just an idea to entertain. I do have to agree with the general consensus that the main thing stopping this is computer hardware (and not being 64-bit compatible, grr). Just for the heck of it, I went into the custom map in Diplomacy with all my mods turned off and tried to see if I could create a 100 star map. I got tired of clicking when the number of planets in the map
New Factions: Players decide whether to become Loyalists or Rebels, which unlocks a unique new tech tree granting them new technologies and ship variants. New Titan-class ships: Massive warships for each race that dwarf capital ships, these deadly new monsters are capable of wiping out entire enemy fleets single-handedly.

@Whisky and RS-fx I myself have not invested much time in in really trying to figure out what space combat would look like, but I would think it should be very little like what we might expect. As far as nukes go, I think Whisky does have a point with his laser point defense system. I saw somewhere a while back that the US military is either nearing the completion of developing a large aircraft fitted with a laser, or that it is actually in service, I do not know. Bu
Right now all I have is my crappy tablet I got for school a few years ago, it struggles with sins late in the game on larger maps. But I enjoy maxing out the graphics for a few minutes early in the game because, frankly, this game is beautiful. I'm working on getting myself a good gaming machine eventually, with one of the main reasons being Sins. Okay, now onto the actual question, certain upgrades like for the Gauss Cannons add, I believe, extra turrets or what have yo
As far as the "not enough info to play efficiently", campaigns in games tend to do a good job of this. Starting you off with very limited options and then having fine tuned missions to explore new technology as it is introduced. Plus the story is usually interesting, if well written. There are tutorials you can play, but that's not quite the same in my opinion, they do shed some light on some things though. I'd personally like to see some sort of single player
