I wouldn't say that kinda situation is frustrating...I would say it builds tension....like watching a good horror movie when you think you know the bad guy is around the corner kind of tension...

Yeah,some time it makes me to scream at my ships.

Move faster damnit!!! You are dying.

Yeah damn the ships in sins are slow >_<

the feeling is the type that i dont know how to express, like i know a group of enemy ship is approaching, but i cant do anythings coz i've already order the nearest fleet which is 6 jumps away to come back and defend, by that time, only can see my planet being destroy

THats why its call a RTS you should always know whats goin on b4 you make a move.

Thats where scouting is important. Leave scout ships at important intersection s to detect incoming enemy before they hit your planet so you got some lead time.

Or research Psydar or something that tells you when the enemy is coming.

I know feeling of waiting your fleet coming back to an underattack system.

There was once that both ai gang bang on me. I lost 2 asteriods and my fleet.It was GG then.

Wow 6 jumps away!.. How big is your map?

A) 6 jumps inside your territory or B) 6 jumps inside the enemy territory..?
if you answer A. Isn't that over stretch your fleet?
If you answer B. The rally point (orange circle with inward pointing arrows) auto sends newly build ship from that factory to the location specified by you.

I understand the feeling. "6 jumps away" makes me wanna spam more fleet and go directly to his home world. Good luck with that game...

when u guard they dont come, when u atk they come for u

i only build 2-3 scout frigate at the beginning to explore the planet, then after that i didnt build even after they destroyed

i'm on the way attacking enemy then the other AI come for me when i was attacking so i leave my planet unguard or normally my second fleet to guard, but my second fleet is also guard at the other planet, if i move my 2nd fleet then i'll risk losing a planet or two at that time.

even i've builded up the defenses, it is pretty much useless, just to slow down the enemy by a bit, sometimes they just spam 20++ planet assault ship to bomb my planet i also get shock during that time

i normally ply huge map with multiple stars, and 9 AI 2 ally with me, unlocked team

Its called counter attacking...why would anyone want to attack you knowing you are ready for their attack and you are at your strongest?

You need to keep tabs and have intel on the important sectors. The enemy does the same thats how they can attack a sector that you are not in...

i tried be4 2 fleet gather together and then 1 fleet jump to where the enemy ship is and begin the attack, while the other stand by to defend at my planet, after i jumped there, 1 fleet size of mine already out numbered, but they still dump dump like that jump to my planet which is well defend by the other fleet, ended up they get destroy ROFL

Question...where do you people get this game? Original one? Bought online?

I bought it here:
http://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/store.aspx

Some other got it from here:
http://www.pcgame.com.my/product_info.php?products_id=2028

And some even bought it overseas...

Im getting mine oversea.

It's better to download from Impulse and play,if you have a credit card.

Sigh...no brick-and-mortar store?

No,unfortunately.

I have to pay RM210 for a copy of Sins in Aus.It's overpriced like mad.

Yes definetely....the weak US dollar means the download is cheaper than a boxed copy here...and most Asian countries...not sure about Aussie....

Those aussies who are playing this game mostly download the game from Impulse.

The retail here is very slow.

If you want you can travel to Klang and get it from Pcgame.com.my if you want and if they have stock...They do cash and carry(you need to book first though) and postal.
