(Going OOT) Having played GC2, I wonder how different is Ascendancy's planetary model as compared to GC2? In Ascendancy, the colored tiles are basically like 100% bonus tiles, and black tiles are equivalent to yellow/orange/red tiles. You can only build transport tubes on them (You're only allowed to build on adjacent tiles to
I have the unofficial download that came with this forum account, but I havent officialy registered with stardock. do I have to *really* dish out 70$ just so I can preorder and beta test? or will it just be enough with the edition I have? Totalgaming != Stardock != Stardock Central. All these things may be confusing at first but you'll get them
Most generally our betas are only available via download to users who have preordered the game (online--we've never done a 'preorder box' at retail), but there are no NDAs or anything on them.
Anyway, the word Retail suggest that there will be a disc/box/manual in the stores? Yes, yes it does

If anyone wants to stop in and chat (with us or each other) or just wants another IRC channel to idle in, the official IRC channel for Sins of a Solar Empire is accessible on irc.stardock.com , port 6667 , channel #sins (if you have an IRC client that supports irc links, just click the link at the bottom of this post!). If you don't have an IRC client already, Impul
you *will* have to buy stardock to play in the open beta and to get the preorder. right? Stardock Central (the download manager for all SD betas and products) is a free download. As noted by Zoomba, the final details on the preorder itself will come in the future.

What exactly do you mean by ranks? On Stardock's forums (as with most), posters can gain ranks over time. The difference is that here, the ranks are not based on your postcount, but the value of your contributions to the forum and community. Over on the GalCiv2 forum, the ranks are as follows (it may be different here, or we may not use ranks-not s
