fantastic, absolut great. ich bin absolut begeistert. echte sternensysteme. Ironclad should include this mod in the expansion and they should make a similar attempt for the random generated systems. "Real" sized star systems, a dream comes true.

hi, i have problems installing the game. the moment i try to install soase it starts to download the sin.sdc and thats it, the progress bar does not advance. i have waited an hour or so, but nothing. All i can do is close sdcentral and then it tells me that it is installing soase. i use debian 4 etch, kde and wine 0.9.54 on x86.

Reply to Availability of the Collector's Edition in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

oh, okay i did not know that the CE would differ (more weight) that much from the normal edition. You really should update the shop info (additional entry for the ce), so that other stupid customers like me don't get confused. 54€ is ok for a heavier CE, but with the current dollar to euro exchange one always looks for a cheap import.
