Cant find the edit button sorry about the double post but I dont see the enjoyment in doing 2 min rushes all the time just for the sake of online stats Im more wanting to have some epic battles when I get better. I dont even care if I lose only that the game is reminiscant of a real war scenario [quote] I play the Empires mod for Half Life 2 and each round of that is about as long (as well as most RTS games)! [/quote] Being careful not to sway offtopic too much but I am going t

I havent played long enough to contradict what the OP is saying but all I can say is Ive been for years looking for a strat where 5 min rush isnt the most viable tactic, and games are drawn out with big long wars over resources, and that fights last long enough so that you can be building and mounting counter attacks while fights are going on. So for me Im looking for a strat the shows a bit more realism and many facets than a button bash or 2 or for instance build power plant, barracks , item 3

I just got the game as well :) so I am still learning, good thing is though , well from what Ive seen thus far people are happy to give out great advice and mods seem to be trying to keep the place an atmosphere of respect with 0 flamming and that is very refreshing. I.e newbies bring able to ask stuff after they have read the manuals and such. Will be a few days until I have any decent idea of what Im doing but if you ever want to join someones game on line just for a laugh and to learn give me

[quote] On the right hand side a window should appear saying what the upgrade does, with something like "Logistical Slots 14 > 18". That means you have 14 now and will have 18 after the upgrade.[/quote] I wandered about that, cheers :) Finally, thanks all! - noted about building refinarys to early! Too much good advice to go through it all but everything mentioned really sets me in the right direction as to comming up with strategies. Im away to play a game now :)

[quote]This is my first RTS type of game, so the learning curve was steep for me as well. I've found it really a lot of fun and I haven't even tried multiplayer. It's the first game in a long time that's had me up way too late (I've been up until 1 or 2 AM playing: my wife thinks I'm crazy, a 43 year old suffering sleep deprivation over a computer game!)[/quote] lol nice! Im actually very nearly 29 and I also knew of a person who is on a space sim forum I browse and he is 65, hes a real

Thanks folks , kinda expected the manual to minimal but after reading some threads its apparently really big which is good. Going to start reading now. Then I will try and convince some person on mp to let me watch them :). I think some of my issues was perhaps because I went a differant faction from the one in the tutorial and the ships were named slightly differantly. I also believe what you are saying about it being a great game, too me it looks very good having barely played and I checked nu

Hi Im just wandering how do I know where to go to kill pirates for diplomacy missions? I have only just started playing as off 1 hour ago and I started getting messages saying if I want favour then go kill pirates but I didnt have a clue where the pirates were. It does seem a really good game but I will be honest well I have been looking for something differant in a game, thats why I bought sins and plus multiplayer functionality to the same scale is what appealled to me big time but I f
