[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="52" id="3308269"] The TEC in general are good, but the Rebels have a lackluster research tree but an awesome titan, while the Loyalists have a lackluster titan and a good but late and expensive research tree.[/quote] I do not find the TEC Loyalist Tech tree reasonably more impressive. Only good thing I see is Militia and Novalith Deregulation. However both those tech suffer from being highly situational. As does Twin Fortresses who isnt that

[quote who="Mr_Book" reply="24" id="3308882"]So a game that lasts four minutes and the first person not to click exactly the right button at exactly the right time loses is a much more polished and well rounded game?

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="7" id="3308466"]The Soundtrack DLC download contains 2 subfolders - one for MP3 and one for FLAC.

The only late game damage source it affects is titan weapon damage. it affecting capitalships is minor at best, and mid-late game combat frigates don't get seen anyway.[/quote] <p

[quote who="Twilight_Storm" reply="23" id="3307616"]I generally like slower paced games. The "Go kill the other dudes right now" mentality is one of the reasons I try to do SP only, the other big one being my nocturnal lifestyle. Not a lot of people on at midnight. However if we set up a game ahead of time, I can get up or stay up late enough to play. Player and Steam name is Twilight_Storm. -Huzzah![/quote] Added.

[quote who="Lavo_2" reply="45" id="3307571"]If Steamworks is so necessary for MP, what I don't get is why not make an SP-only (or SP+LAN) version of Sins to sell elsewhere? Make it a bit cheaper perhaps, but if MP is the limitation for a non-Steam version of Sins, would it really be that difficult to have a non-MP version for those who are willing to pay for it?[/quote] Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion comes with LAN functionality.

[quote who="Incomitatus" reply="19" id="3307363"] I wish I knew some people around here who play and would be interested in LAN'ing with the more 4x-style settings (it'd almost certainly be easier than finding people to play Space Empires V!) Quite aside from no one online playing with those settings, they aren't suited for online play - those settings and the strategies they support pretty much guarantee that games will be long, and one needs a group that doesn't m

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="22" id="3306188"]I'm afraid Steam users now make up more than 90% of total sales volume by our estimates.
