Hi there,
I recently bought sins rebellion. The concept is an appealing one, but on playing the game and trying a few mods I found the game to be a bit of a let down. The main problem is the ai all play the same strategy: to get a titan ship as soon as possible. They do this to the neglect of building of a fleet, leaving their empires largerly undefended, making initial expansion absurdly easy.
Even on hard, aggressive mode they simply refuse to build a fleet. It's almost like playing a game with a bunch of people who simply aren't all that interested in playing. Are there any settings so the ai will actually attempt to do something other than build a titan ship? at the moment, the game doesn't feel so much like a group of bloody thirsty empires vying for expansion, but me going in and exterminating a group of peaceful space faring civilizations who are quite happy to be left alone to build their prize vessels.
