How long did the match last?

Im still waiting for Sins to be sold in Aus.

Its actually a continuation from the game we played on Sunday. Sunday we spent about 3 hours and yesterday we finished the game about 2 hours in. All in all 5 hours!!! But saving multiplayer game is revolutionary!!!! Both of them seriously addicted to it!!!! Working day played until 12.30 midnight!!!

Patience...Eventually you will be able to get Sins...and then we will have an epic game

Some screen shots from me!

MY MASSIVE FLEET




BURN ALIEN SCUM!

i think u hv too much carrier already, carrier/transporter is good but too much will make ur whole fleet become weaker due to their defense and offense. BTW, build more kodiak and LRM, they r the best combination, not to forget the gardiak frigate, they can kill small aircraft

But i love those small aeroplanes pewpew each other

I doubt you will love it once someone counters your small pewpew

True, those small planes seems to get slapped around like mosquitos.

small planes r strong, but they r not practical, they only strong when they hv like 10 group

I would like to see how long it would take for u to mass that in a Multiplayer, 2 day/ 3 day game?

Yup 10 for disruption is almost the optimum more than that is just useless

Is it me ? Or is this game much harder without pirates? I just played an easy map with no pirate and the Ai just rush up to me planets and said hello with their guns..

Im pretty confident I can win the game on easy setting with pirates ON. But got owned on medium 3 players (normal Ai) with pirates. I thought I was still expanding & expect the the others to be also but then suddenly the vasari Ai came at me with 2 capital ships and I have like 15 basic assault frigate (the disciple: Advent).

So what difficulty setting you guys currently play on & can confidently beat?

i believe building a capital ship FIRST is essential

or u already had ur 1st capital ship.. and it got destroyed?

at that point I havent even built my 1st. Civil & military research was 2nd tier though. Oh... Snap! I just reliazed I concerntrated on the wrong things. OMG. the money I wasted!

i ply normal AI with 8 player i think, 2 allied with me and the other 5 AI seperate to 2 teams, huge map with pirate on. manage to beat all of them with TEC, now plying vasari, on the way to conquer.

u cant concentrate on 1 things, and u should not concentrate on 1 things, the research u should first get the different type planet colonize research and then research the cruisers, like those heavy/combat cruisers, they r more worth the money that u build a disciple and during the late game, the light frigate does not comes in handy and their low atk and def, build more long range frigate, close range combat type cruisers, and some transporter that carries small spacecraft, and also some anti strike craft frigate, if u want to ply planet assault type then u may as well build some planet assault frigate or planet assault capital ship, since advent dont hv novalith cannon or kastura cannon, so u may need some planet assault ship.

In other news, Sins just made #1 on the sales charts for PC games:

This is pretty amazing considering its a niche titles and was released by a small publisher, beating CoD4 and WOW: BC.

Well this proves that you do not have to be big to be good. I wonder what the publicity like for this game in US.

Well its quite huge in the states since its released in retail there already. Even the digital distribution version sold more than most games.But unlike big companies...no glitzy release day launch with celebrities etc...just good word of mouth from reviewer and players. I think their marketing is mostly by fans word of mouth and it really seems to be working.

Im bringing a few friends into the game (about 4) - hopefully all 4 will play. Would be nice to play a long big map. So lets try to play something tomorrow (Sat) at noon.

You will need hamachi as that caters to more people. Add me on XFire. I won't be home early tonight (Fri), but I'll get online when I get back. Cheers!

Edit: All the better if you have a headset with a mic, and ventrilo.

Yeah this is the best marketing I recon, actually why do you need celebrities and glitzy launches for a game. Events and competition yes but why celebrities those celebrities does not make the gameplay or graphics any better.

Yeah Ive been thinking about using mic and a big game, hope this works.

By the way, those not sure about the game should watch this review, it's the best for the moment. There's a download option for standard and widescreen.
