Add me to the list for "AI surrendering". Having to wipe out poorly defended asteroid after poorly defended asteroid when the AI is utterly unable to resist - all its major fleets and planets having been crushed or captured - is pointlessly and unentertainingly time consuming. I could probably play 50% more games of Sins if I didn't have to slog through the mop-up phase every time. - Ash
I'm pretty sure that stuff (and more) is explained in the tutorials. Who knows what else you might be missing tsk tsk! I played through them, so if those details are in there, then I completely failed to internalize them. - Ash
"Weapons Range" is effectively what most games would call "Hold Position" though we'd argue this is a subset of "Attack Range".

When we didn't have the camera unattach from the object when you went to zoom, everyone complained that the camera was being pulled along. Thus, we exposed access to the "attached camera mode" and made it very easy to toggle between them during game play (button top left and the letter N on the keyboard). It is an interesting idea that perhaps the camera could stay attached when pointing at the object though I'm not sure how easy that would be to do if you were zoomed
I played my first game of Sins yesterday, and while it was generally enjoyable, there were a quite a few things I thought could use some improvement. I was using version 0.76[b].018. There were a few things during the game that struck me as blatantly wrong (I imagine some or all of these have been mentioned before, so my apologies for any duplication): - The "Zoom to Cursor" mode doesn't work well with the Follow camera. Whenever you have your view centered on a moving object,
