There's no proof that things like wormholes don't exist as much as there isn't proof that they do. What we have are models for the universe, which keep changing through the years as

As far as I know, you can play as a guest, but I don't know if that allow you to save games or any other details. It'd be nice if you could create multiple offline profiles for situations like this.

Whenever you register a product with Impulse, whether it was bought in the box or digitally, it becomes available in your Impulse game list. From there you can download the game to any computer you want using Impulse with no disk required as long as you have an internet connection. Impulse is also required to get any new patch that comes out, but if you don't want to use Impulse you can install your game and start it up regularly like any other.

I think it will be bigger than the original. And I'll be playing it, but I'm not too worried about trying to compete for a top spot. I mean there's people who play the game professionally, let alone ppl who just play a lot and get zero compensation. I'll be happy with getting into the top league since I never played RTS competitively before.
