There is no best. I tend to use the Company of Heroes combined arms aproach. Kol and Dunov is a good combination. Radiance is a personal favourite because it has big friggin lasers once it reaches level 6.

haha yeah radiance is also my personal favorite. early on, can save those small frigates with its skill, when lvl 6, boom!! clensing brillance !!!!

but i also like marza, built 3 of em and lvl it up till lvl 6, see what happen when fighting with a bunch of fleet!!! booom all badly damage.

both of these capital ships in most multiplayers rulebook..... dont let em till lvl 6 or ur in deep shit!!!

Micro-Expansions For Sins of a Solar Empire
by Maarten Goldstein Aug 29, 2008 6:22am CST tags: Sins of a Solar Empire, Ironclad Games, Stardock

The Sins of a Solar Empire world will expand with several expansions during the next year, publisher Stardock announced today.

The first expansion is titled Entrenchment and will be available later this year for $9.95.

Entrenchment will add a Starbase defense platform to each race--giving them armored bases with a variety of weapon, and upgrades that make them capable of defending an entire planet--along with turrent upgrades, mine fields and a "Subspace Inhibitor platform" which will slow down nearby enemy ships.

Other micro-expansions in development will add new diplomacy features, as well as additional technologies and ships. Development of all these expansions is being handled by series creator Ironclad Games.

The expansions will be available from the Sins of a Solar Empire website as well as through Stardock's Impulse digital distribution platform.

I think it's bye bye for me to Sins then.

They gonna have 3 micro expansions plus a big one with campaign.

With all the money to buy expansions,i rather get new games than.

i just hope they provide abit story mode for the game
then it will worth for the money

Wait for all the expansions are all done then. Then only buy it. Hopefully it will just cost 20 bucks then, I just dont see 30 bucks expansion happening.

That is coming next year in a full blown expansion... These are different..

Sins of a Solar Empire v1.1 BETA 2 Change Log
By Yarlen Posted September 11, 2008 14:53:01

We're hoping to release BETA 2 for version 1.1 of Sins shortly (possibly today).  Here's the latest changes for the next update:

Note 1: It's named v1.095 instead of 1.1 beta 2 because the Games for Windows version tools won't let us use letters. This was a common question and I agree it's confusing. I would change it if I could -Blair

Note 2: Back up your achievements file until the next beta, we needed to make some changes to the versionning control for improved ICO behavior and we missed the achievements version handler.
