30 years young and will be playing games until I pass away.You tend to find older guys playing 4X type games.
This screenshot clearly shows there are no ship sections to target, only generic shields and armour.Maybe the scale with the huge fleet sizes are the reason. WWW Link
I think it's a fake.
I played the demo and disliked what I saw.The game just seemed lightweight in all areas and the 3D starmap was dreadful.I actually think turnbased is much more suited to empire building games.I'm willing to bet a lot was sacrificed in Sins just so the devs could call it a trendy real time game.
15 second capital ship battles and instant EAW style building times has me worried.
It lacks the personality of a capital ship.I believe it's a frigate.
The game will be open beta in a few weeks.Everything will be known soon.
Nexus just a had steep learning curve but Nexus is a great RTT game.I am hoping the space battles in Sins have a similar pacing and tactical importance.
Nexus didn't have anywhere near the amount of ships on screen as Sins does.I would not be so confident,yet.
In this screenshot it has those curvy ships fighting alongside the boxy early TEC ships.I think it is the most advanced TEC ship after TEC changed to a war economy.. WWW Link
You have been charged but have no beta? That sounds suspicious considering Stardock said the beta is not until feb.
The A.I makes the game great fun.I found the story very weak.The early levels were creepy.
The Vasari ships cost more but with better economy they will have big fleets.I will play the TEC first.
The battles look amazing ,but I still want more concrete gameplay details before I pre order.
WWW Link There will be version 1.2 balance mod released toady sometime,with even better A.I.
The balance mod has much better A.I.SEV with the latest patch played with the balance mod is great fun.
The Supcom beta was free.And after playing it the full version should be too.
Demo would not be until august or later.
The space battles looked good in EAW but had very little depth,pretty much like the whole game.
Stardock made it very clear the game is beta.You have paid for the full game,so you will get the campaign when it is done.
God I hate these forums,this is the link. WWW Link

Is this mod going to be converted to DarkAvator?The expanded ship combat and A.I would make it worth the hassle. Could you shorten the race descriptions as they are much too long and make it a nightmare in the diplomacy intel reports, having to pan down 5 paragraphs to get to the meat is a pain.Also there are bogus trade options for ships levels that do nothing, but are highly valued by the A.I in trading. Great work anyway.

You see the border background change straight away so there is little tension of the result.The devs said each race would have there own soldiers,tanks,etc it never happened.I also thought there would be a change of land war with divisions,etc after the early interview at IGN,that hasn't happened either.Land combat like minor races in GC remain very underdeveloped and poor.
This mod is amazing.The quality surprised me a great deal.Good work.
