I was considering some thread necromancy, but figured I would just make a new one. I enjoyed this game with our community, so I'm curious which people have it. I know a lot of the players are now with OMG, but this could provide some fun EIR vs OMG games =) I am also planning to check out their mini expansions, new units, starbases (zomg, I can finally hold that sector with no planet and have defenses at the sun!) etc; as well as another expansion coming that increases the use and power of diplomacy. Other things that have happened, supposedly increased AI ability to play the game, will have to check on that. http://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/Going to check out this mod for the basic game. http://distantstars.mmobase.com/soase/Distant_Stars_v1.01_%5B453701567%5D.7z |

I happily own and play it still, though EIRR and Uncharted 2 and Battlestations Pacific and DOW2 eat up my time lately, we might be able to get together and do a game of Sins  |

I got it. Dont like the expansion too much because unless they patched it up, Advent starbases are horribly broken.
They got a cultural influence upgrade slot that you can upgrade like 8 times, so any enemy planets in the system with the star base slowly loses it's culture untill it rebels.
Get 2 starbases in the same system and it's not counterable.
Good concept tho, they just need to fix this.

I couldnt enjoy this game, it took too long for the game to "begin" each time you played. Too much mucking about with few ships and 1 planet.

Too much 4X for me. I'll just stick with looking for somebody to play the AI War campaign demo with before I buy it or not...

Akranadas' Greatest Hits, Volume 1: Vet has nothing to do with unit preformance. We are serious about enforcing this, and I am sure you all want to be able to have your balance thought considered by the development team with some biased, sensationalist coming into your thread and ruining it. |

The game is great for the first few hours you play it, but after that it just becomes tedious. Also the whole culture influence thing is bs in my opinion. And yes its very spammy.

Culture influence prevents people from just camping out nextdoor =)
The mod in my first post fixes a lot of these problems though.

This game wasnt bad if you were down for the long haul. But fi thats what your in for CiV4 is better. I Have... Had Sins but Stardock scewed up on their end and decided i was being fradulent and withdrew all my CD keys for their games(only Sins) so i don't buy or follow or support any Stardock product, infact i go out of my way to trash talk them. I had a field day over that games rights publicity thing they tried a year ago

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

Sins of a Solar Empire was actually so brain shatteringly dull and face meltingly bland that I quit and uninstalled it while waiting for ships to actually kill each other at the most advanced speed setting. I was so fucking bored it was unreal.

Focus firing three times more ships onto other ships didn't get very fast results. (like 9 v 1+1+1...) Game = slow and boring.

I liked it but only for a little bit, kind of makes me regret buying it.
I also regret buying HOI 3. (But maybe I'll pick it up again some day)
