I would have to agree for $10 it has made magor changes to the depth of the game. I have always been a huge fan of thier pre order and join beta idea as well. Gives you a opinion of voicing what you want ingame while being able to test the game for yourself. So yes Thank You.

I have noticed a bug in my first game not sure if it has been reported before or not. Back ground i have peace treaties with several AI's and a couple of Allies as well. 9 AI on normal. A hostile AI luanches an attack on one of my planets and a Ally sends in a fleet to help defend the planet as i had no ships there. The Friendly ally ran but came back once it was clear i would keep the planet. The whole time we have been allies and for some reason he has a huge fleet t

DELETED BY USER. Impulse is great and is the best way to get digital games. By far better than the other digital downloads i have tried. Plus it is far easier to use then P2P downloading and installing and cracking of games and then worring about viruses on top.

You can turn off Pirates if you want at the start of the game. If you open the pirate screen at the bottom is the time till next pirate attack and you can increase bounty on the other players there so that the pirates target them not you. I always make sure to over lap the area of effect on my defenses slighty so that one radius just covers the other Missile/Gauss defense. Keep at least 1 or 2 defense close to the planet to help defend against siege. Allies are not tha

Yeah i just crashed 3 times before even getting to pick a custom map. In Single Player trying to change map size past Large is causing me to crash every time. But if i stop on Large and pick a map seems to working so far. Yes I deleted SINS and refresh download and install of both. EDIT: Like Blair said Removing old maps does fix the problem. Thank You for a quick response to this issue.

My 2 cents. I play single player against normal AI with 9 AI's and me. What i do per fleet is 3 or more Capitals ships usally 1 combat, 1 colony and 1 supporting Capital Ship. Better yet is one of each Capital Ship per fleet. Make sure to upgrade anti bomber abilites on your Capital ships before bombers become a problem. Build only Fighters on your Capital Ships. Mak

My 2 cents. I have tried other Digital download software and they leave something lacking or are a major pain. Impluse is super easy to use and the ease at which you can buy games and download/install them is great plus with one click to start impulse it will automatically tell me if there are any updates for any of my games. I have 18 games on impulse and i can delete and reinstall the games as often as i want and with just a couple clicks.

I had about 20 ships as my quick response fleet to help defend my non frontier planets. Cap ships make or break a fleet. Having said t
