so with the new expansions......

from Sins Forums

this is really more a question for a member of SD or IC but are the expansions going to build on entrenchment? like, will expansion #2 have all the stuff from Entrench. and will expansion #3 have the stuff from both expansion 1&2? it would suck if each expansion didnt build upon the last if you know what i mean.

Well get ready to suck my dear fellow because each add-on is INDEPENDANT FORM THE REST!

No, they will work together. The next one will build on Entrenchment.

it aint that bad it would have been nice if you were able to build the first one free --kinda of like --ur first capital ship one free----u need major resources to get just one which is a shame at a time--would be nnice to update it if you get one free as well and a separate cap for starbases:grin:

End of Blair's quote

I thought that the way mini xpacks were designed means that a player could f.ex. have the diplomacy pack, but not entrenchment, thus not having starbases and other defensive enhancements. or a player could get entrenchment, but not the diplomacy one. and the same for the 3rd pack.

'build on ...' can mean many things.

is there a requirement to have one for the other to work? I'd doubt that. one point was to give customisability iirc.

does the second pack automatically include all features of the first and would the third include those of one and two? also doubtful, because earlier customers would feel pissed, if each pack's price remains ~ 10$ (not that it's not a fair price. just, getting it for more or less free with the next pack is ... new).

does each pack give the features promoted and ignore the other packs? basically as in the first paragraph? well, what does build on mean then? technical? doubtful, since with entrenchment the engines were apparently different enough for some changes to be ported causing quite some effort.

so, I am back wondering what was meant here.
