Oh, Ok I see the heavy constructor now 3rd level of the Defense tree. Cool. Thank you

Where do you unlock or build heavy constructors though? I don't see them or starbases in any of the tech trees.

UPDATE: I re-installed it for the 3rd time and this time it took. Thanks for explaining that. Set me in the right direction.

Really?! Well, I open ImpulseDrive thing and it has taken the Sins logo away as it said it would when Entrenched is installed (which it says it is). I launch it from here if I want and it takes me into Sins without any of the stuff you mention. No new logo, beta disclaimer, or Defense tech tree. What gives then? My serial # is entered and accepted. I don't get it? I've already tried reinstalling once.

It's been a year since I played this game but I just bought the beta entrenchment and started again. I'm getting my bearings still. I believe entrenchment is installed on my computer as impulsedrive says it is. I was looking for a way to see in game if it is installed. I wanted to see where I build the heavy constructors or unlock that ability but I can't even find where to have constructors built. I've looked at the manual & googled it but no luck. I've spent some time in game loo

Thanks. I'm happy to play several allied AI opponents at once to get that challenge. After the 1.02 patch under those same conditions and on max difficulty it just wasn't cutting it. AI wasn't colonizing like they should or attacking me through any back doors. I'm glad to hear it may have gotten better since then single player wise.

I'm not into multiplayer. I do admit that the phrasing of my question is a bit provocative. But I thought someone else might be able to weigh in on the claim that patch enhances the single player game. I can say that in my experience that the 1.02 patch which was supposed to offer a much improved AI difficulty seemingly did not. With 1.02 I once again spent many hours leading up to another anticlimactic folding of the enemy without any intelligent strategy with many unexploited opportuni

Hi. I spent a fair amount of time playing this game when it frist came out and then again when the 1.02 patch was released but found it still not challenging even on the hardest setting with all the AI against me. Has that been improved? It takes quite awhile playing a game to get a real sense if the AI is going to just fold. Thank you. -N.

What I'm wondering if got changed was it seemed there just wasn't much of an enemy to fight. There would be some off the top but then really just nothing formidable at all. They never tried to take over any of my planets that were exposed to them etc.

Hi. I got the patch right when it came out but I haven't gotten a chance to put it through it's paces since then. I'm wondering if anyone else can attest to whether the patch made the AI more of a challenge. I was disappointed playing with ver. 1.02. To add to that. I looked on this forum and the forum of the game itself and besides one guy who said the 1.03 patch didn't stop the AI from chickening out although it out # his ships 2 to 1, I didn't find anyone talking about if the

just reinstall the game (after making sure your saved game is secure) and apply the 1.02 patch. Most old patches you'd be able to find online but I think this may be an exception to that rule. If you don't have that patch anymore I could email it to you as I have it saved. just give me your email address if you want

Anyone have an ETA on this patch?? I'm waiting for the AI upgrade!

I was judging the game based on small maps, 2 AI opponents, both on hard. I've started a larger map but maybe I should go really big like you suggested, Torque524,(40 planets). When you say teams unlocked does that mean having the 4+ AI on separate teams, not the same? You say with pirates, do you leave yourself free to bride them off of you? Some suggested not doing that and ignoring diplomacy to make it challenging so do you do both of those as well or is it challenging enough leaving a free

Hello. Stop the nation bashing please. It's pointless. Oh, and don't thank the U.S. for Guantanamo, thank Bush and Cheney. That's why we have elections, to change direction. Anyway, go start your own anti versus pro U.S. thread and you can talk there. This whole forum/bulletin is about a game not this diversion.

Good suggestions for me to try out. Thanks. I liked Bonscott's kitten pirate so much I had to find one for my pic too.

I now see the "change maps" button at the bottom (thanks SheenaTiger). I had been playing 12 planets, 2 AI enemies, on Hard.

Ok, I have a registered copy thank you, "orangeJumpSuits". The cheap shot apparently must be symptomatic of the fact you don't have any real defense against what is an admitted short coming of this game by the developers no less, that it is too easy. Otherwise they wouldn't have addressed that in a patch to come. For those of you who have offered insight into what I may have missed or what is to come in a patch, thanks. I don't see how I've missed the maps & options but I must have. That

I did but the first time it locked up and the second I didn't see anyone. I'll try again as I should have seen people there I presume. I am more of a single player gamer but I'll try again.

Ok. I felt like letting off a bit of steam. Sorry to offend. I do think the game is very appealing besides that I didn't find much challenge. It's perhaps that I see so much I like in the game and then to find little resistance that I've voicing disappointment. I apologize for my bombastic post. I wanted to hear how it could be defended. There is spell check in this forum. At least for me there is. I don't know what "Hello Kitty Island Adventures" goodgimp so I guess I don't get the

Oh, yeah, I'm a newb. Spank away. This is not just a multiplayer game. Good it's getting an AI upgrade. It needs it badly. Wonder if I'll still bother playing it by then. I think it should have offered a challenge out of the box. I paid for it and this is a good place to vent a justifiable gripe. I won't as you call it "whine" any more. How long until the patch anyway?

This game is too easy to play. The single player on max difficulty offers no challenge PERIOD. I've played all the great 4X games and am not very good compared to many and yet this game is a f...ing P_ssy. I don't usually swear but honestly this game commits the cardinal sin of 4X games and offers no challenge. I think it's the first in history. Oh, wait for the next patch, blah, blah, blah.... Oh, I posted this in another thread, sue me.

Boy you touched on a topic. This game is too easy to play. The single player on max difficulty offers no challenge PERIOD.
