Seriously, why does Ironclad take so long to make the so called Mirco-expansions? In the time it takes them to make one, a company like Bethesda could churn out three. Well, maybe Ironclad takes longer to give it more polish. (answered my own question there, maybe there is a different reason, then )

Bethseda has hundreds of people working for it

Ironclad does not

Considering that most of the stuff released to oblivion is user made... then I dont think bethesda deserves most of the credit there hehe.

but back to sins... with respect to a sp campaign then I am split... so far stardock have not made any decent stories in any of their games (that I have played)... but they have brought to us brilliant and fun gameplay both on and offline. So my wish is that they keep focusing on their strenghts there instead of spending time on some non memorable story like most companies chun out. Perhaps even going into createing a modding community to strenghten their position on the strategy game market. I am sure there are lots of modders out there who would love to recreate their favorite scifi series into sins.

I'm very wary about this.

First, the diplomacy in Sins is really bad and needs changing.  That's fine.

But 'diplomacy tech'?  Diplomacy ships?  Cluttering up the game more isn't necessary to fix the mission-based diplomacy (hell, allowing the player to accept missions or propose them would pretty much instantly fix the diplomacy as it stands).  Yet Another Tech Tree and single-use ship doesn't sound like a good direction to go.

Entrenchment was great though, so ... we'll see.

This is a truly appreciated move by Ironclad/Stardock to expand upon the diplomatic aspect of soase. Though simple and functioning in it's current state, diplomacy is a big part of the game that needs some major upgrades.

The AI sometimes behaves too erratic and the mission penalties don't always make sense. So far what I've heard about the Xpansion sounds really good. So Iam realy looking forward to this micro-expansion, just as I was with entrenchment.

I got really courius about the SupCom 2 "problems". Could anyone sum it up, or do I have to spend an hour or two reading a rabid forum?
