[quote] Like ships tha can hijack frigates They tried this during beta and it was scrapped.[/quote] Dang! Too bad that didn't work out. I always thought it'd be cool to see various hijacked ships from all races in a pirate fleet. Imagine a KOL with all the pointy spikes and pirate flag on it. That would look wicked.

Reply to So what do the expansions mean? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Yes. The expansions build on each other. So you can play Original Sins or Sins plus Entrenchment or Sins plus Entrenchment plus Diplomacy.

I would think they would. Star Blazers was popular. I like the shot of the Yamato firing it's point defenses.

Could we launch colony ships without civilians? Sometimes I'm shuttling people from a full world to a less populated world and I'd like to not need to put "1" on the ship just to send it back to pick up more people.

In the TA Ship Designer the "favorite" ship parts tab are never saved right. If you close the game and start it again it will be different parts.

[quote]Is there a date for release, and upon release is this game going to be released on Impulse at all?[/quote] So far there is no news about an Impulse release and it may never happen. I've been researching Matrix games and they are DRM free except for serial key. They do not have unlimited downloads though so you only get a limited time to download the game and archive it. You can pay extra for a 2 year "download insurance"

Reply to Ubisoft is dropping PC DRM but.... in PC Gaming Sins Forums

I knew publishers would eventually come to this. I'm just surprised it wasn't EA first. Next on the agenda will be subscriptions to the game. "You can play for the low low price of $29.99 per year. That's half off of buying the DVD version. Most gamers don't play a game more than 6 months anyway and you can reactivate the game anytime in the future for only $19.99!!"
