I always find myself having to slow the game pace, via lowering tech and production speeds, to have huge and even large maps play with any sense of a challenge. The tech and production rates on normal are, IMO, too fast for these larger maps and leaves the AI factions at a significant disadvantage.
Had I not bought FE with a 66% discount, I too would be annoyed at having to pay for LH.
[quote who="Azunai_" reply="7" id="3332497"] Quoting Fandangdo, reply 4 So, how is this going to work with people such as myself who have the steam version of FE? As I want to stick with my steam account and take advantage of the cheaper upgrade option, how do I go about pre-ordering and getting beta access? I'm in the same situation - so here's what i just did a few minutes ago: 1. follow the link to the stardock store ( http://tinyurl.co
[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="5" id="3332491"] When LH goes live in the Steam store (which will happen shortly) you will receive a coupon to get LH for $20 if you already own the steam version of FE.[/quote] Cool, thanks.

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="76" id="2492452"]Fandango, I would like to direct your attention to post 65, in which he does admit that he played you. So stop yelling and actually read this thread. [/quote] No offense Volt, but I read that as sarcasm. Besides in post 65 he says first that "I already told you I didn't play you, and that wasn't my game, but just for the sake of argument", hence I read what came after as sarcasm and 'for the sake of argu

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="63" id="2491373"] At any rate, I was going to voluteer to be online anytime New Years Day or after to play Sova or Skirantra against anyone who wanted to test this stuff out. But it seems as if Top Vasari and others already agree that Vasari is disadvantaged in this situation, so my work here is done. [/quote] LMFAO. Yeah, yeah mate.... I cannot believe the crap people get away with in this community. WHERE IS YOUR REPLAY? Oh

You make a post literally 5 mins after the chap in that game quits due to losing a carrier cap to a sova and then complaining ingame about the Sova being unbalanced as it beat two Vasari carrier caps.

Kharma in that game I posted I was TheMouse and you played under the handle Nightmare Crush who went up against Terr, right? Infact I am pretty sure that the game I posted a replay of is the right one given the time stamp on your post and your description. You did play me, albeit as a 2v2. Anyway, regardless of whether you microed well or not, your intitial account in your OP is very in-accurate and misleading. You lost that engagement fair and square IMO and your

At the risk of antagonising Kharma I must say that your account differs a bit from what actually happened i.e. he had a few more frigs than you suggest which enabled Terr to tip the scales in his favour. Plus, I don't think you microed that well. Further, his so
Yeah, I was in that game. Sova is a great cap ship..... [e digicons]:D[/e] p.s. hunting for the file now, will post soon.
I don't really view one spam as worse than any other; they are all just as annoying as each other. All I can do is just put up with spams and remain bitter that the reason for them was a gameplay change made during beta.
Yes, I can imagine reading the press release right now.... "Coming Christmas 2009! Sins expansion number two, complete with actual, real, non-virtual and concrete new content, such as an actual fleet formation and control system! All for $9.95! Pre-order now and help produce the, actual, real, non-virtual and concrete new content that you will be buying!!" Ahhh god bless stardock, the customer driven gaming experience!
Carrier spam emerged, I think, out of attempts to balance the game and prevent other types of spam. Where as cyclic balancing attempts might change the type of ship used in a spam, the general impetus of the spam won't be solved until the economy and infinite resources are addressed. All that will happen is that as/if the devs fiddle with ship stats, different ships will become the choice for a spam until the next balancing attempt.
As far as I remember all players have the ability to unpause the game, no matter who paused it in the first place. As (if) this is the case there is not really a need for a patch. As for removal of the feature, I don't think we should allow the alleged actions of the few to result in the removal of this handy feature.

I really don't think calling someone a whinging bitch or loser is appropriate, nor do I think picking up on the OPs mistake regarding the name of the developer is a valid line of argumentation against the OPs points. Second, asking the OP to programme a fix is extremley asinine as this is technically the responsibility of the devs. The OP obviously likes the game and most of you posting insults fail to take on board his other point regarding a small multiplayer base giv
What are the Kalypso territories? Why the extra charges in territories such as the UK that dont require 'localization' per se (assuming by localization you mean translation)? Regardless, I really don't see why my friend in the UK had to pay more when Kalypso had sweet FA to do with the purchase he made via impulse. I think I'll advise him to buy via a proxy and USA paypal account in the future.
Just to correct you will, $9.95 if you are an American and living in America.
The game is $9.95 for USA customers only. Although not stated on the impulse buy page for entrenchment, by the time you get to the checkout and recieve an e-receipt you will see that non usa customers are charged more. An EU friend of mine complained and has been offered a refund of the difference between $9.95 and the $14 odd he paid. Just to make it clear, its not an exchange rate thing but rather stardock and ironclad deciding to charge different amounts per region.<
I think it is a great idea and reminds me alot of the Battlefleet Gothic board game. However, I doubt such a system will ever make it into Sins.
I agree Oezem.
Its not a bug. I had confirmation from stardock/sales that it is priced differently per region, kinda sucks.

I reckon mines will take up tactical slots at release, which should remedy the complaints raised in this thread. We have got to remember its a Beta and some of the stuff, for example the cost of SBs, is provisional.
