Tried it, interesting but it has many rough spots (it's an alpha though). The inability to continue playing after victory is the most annoying one. No starbases and fortifications, no fighters (overall space combat is very sketchy), and a really huge empire micromanagement. Although I'll cheack it again, I'm not overly enthusiastic.

[quote who="Coridane" reply="13" id="3144945"] Imagine that I said: "Spending time playing this game for playtesting after paying 30$ is a honor, although currently there are people who don't have the money needed to buy their food".

Sure, sure. [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4rBDUJTnNU[/video] The truth is that we are all, more or less, happy with the beta, but we could be happier, to different degrees. Invitations to positive conformity are a bit silly, aren't they?

[quote who="Dinochimp" reply="9" id="3144823"]@137 did you come to these forums to just flame people for no real reason? Also the dollar sign comes before the number, like this: $10. As soon as I saw that in your post, I lost all respect for what you had to say. That goes for anyone who puts the dollar sign after the number.[/quote] Well, that's an interesting question. Perhaps, you might say. Or perhaps I tend to be critical to strange assertions. Generally, people tend to make a

Your comment didn't rub me the wrong way, but let us for a moment suppose that it did.

[quote quoting="post"] It looks like the latest patch includes a lot of balancing updates, crash fixes, AI improvements, and miscellaneous tweaks. Awesome. I can't wait to see it. Thanks Ironclad. I want to also salute the ones reporting problems and helpful changes. The opportunity to beta test is an honor so we should continue to have fun with it, but not forget our mission. I've not been able to find very many issues, but I'll keep digging because I want this t

At this rate they're not going to be properly tested by release. You know how they're testing and how it's the most effective means. Stop bitching about. Besides, the game is still only .90.

It's been years since I played homeworld 2. A nice game. Many preferred Homeworld (most of those who started playing multiplayer there did), but I have always found the original too swarm-heavy. Cataclysm had other issues (bugs and balance), and HW2 was a compromise. Yet, I think Sins can reasonably be expected to do well too so no reason to dwell on memories.

Not bad ideas. The one pertaining shield should not be too overpowered, given advent focus on them.

SciFi is not science: it is literature. As such, it should be judged for its literary value. The story you narrated (somehow) above is a ripoff of gnostic myths, badly worded and badly hidden. The writer, as such, is a plagiarist, for certain, and probably a lazy person. This means, the literary value is kinda low. The Invincible is not good, as such, for the "science" it conveys, but for the quality of the vehicle. Our current understanding, [b]doesn't[/b] include Dyson Spheres,

Wondering where my fellow Demons of old will be now. I saw (by looking at forums) they came to SoASE but they stopped being active overall since 2011. Maybe those who have some hw2/cata experience may tell. With an active demonclan, I guess mecha wouldn't be so sure of his skills quite soon. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/303508 Whoever knows anything, please pm.

I have always wondered about the purpose of smurfing. Infact, in a game with such "high level pros" and also so few pros (as they say) smurfing should be forbidden to good players: it's just a way to cover one's true identity to get an advantage. Mostly, I see it used as a tool to get revenge and/or to devise counters to strategies of players who beat someone who didn't like being beaten. Of course, as things go, it will be always a widespread habit in all games which allo

In the shark's perspective: select noob neighbour, rush him, use resources gained to rush neighbouring average player, etc. But is it worth it to play for eight hours to win a game?

I think seriously, there should be a limit to number per type of all units. Additionally, the total number of cruisers should never surpass the total number of frigates, for added realism. And finally, superweapons should have a random chance to misfire and explode, destroying the host gravwell and halving the resident planet's population. I mean, why stop to one (stupid?) idea.
