Thanks very much for your generous offer. Actually I never played online. Be a new experience for me. Lets hope they get the online portion working. I'm on the east coast so there would have to be some time juggling. Also not sure if it would work with my server. I'm rural, so I have to use a satellite server. Bandwidth is pretty limited. Which is the reason that I had to get Rebellion from GOG. Steam doesn't work for me. Anyway I'd sure

Many thanks GoaFan77, always a big help. Presently playing with standard races as in original Sins. Will try "Rebel" factions once I get to feel comfortable with all the improvements. I do think the diplomatic functions are a great improvement. Question, if I may: Along with the GOG download came an item called a "bin file". Its about 1.38 gigs. Any idea what this might be? Can't seem to access it. Thanks Scartch

Many thanks GoaFan77. Got it! Looks good and seems to run fine on my ageing computer. Any tips, tricks, or hints for a guy that usually gets his butt kicked in original Sins? Scartch

Thanks BoredatWork. (I remember it well) Happened in a prior game. I was really being swarmed. Went back to a prior save and it didn't happen. Have not been able to figure it out. Scartch

Original Sins, Single player: One of my planets was under attack by another faction. So, I tried to set up defense and repair platforms and received the message: Another structure is in the way. No other structure was in the way ( honest) and the planet was upgraded to the max. Secondly the enemy had already knocked out several of my forward defenses. I did have one trade satellite in orbit. Quit pending a search for a solution. Thanks f

Thanks for that GF. I usually get heads up from GoG when they have sales. If I can get at least half off, I'll add it to my library. Cheers!

Thanks Red. That version is also advertised on eBay for sixteen dollars. Its a Steam only version. Got sucked in on a SupCom Gold title like that. Live and learn. Thanks GoaFan. Always helpful. Checked GoG where I have purchased games before. Have to think about spending fifty bucks for a game that I have to down load. Appreciate the input. Scartch...

Rebellion Query in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Presently enjoying Sins of a Solar Empire. Sins Rebellion has been recommended to me. Please advise if this is a "Steam" only game. I'm in rural S.C and must use satellite (Hughes) for my internet. Their bandwidth doesn't allow me to utilize Steam. Thanks. Scartch

Sorry double post.

Thanks Timmy. Will research Rebellion for sure. Hard to imagine "so much better". I'm having a blast with Sins. In fact I'll do that when I log off. I'm a little bleary from playing so long. Thanks New Horizons. Did start a new game and did as you said. Presently have home planet, a desert planet, an ice planet, and three asteroids. And I've held several enemy attacks. I feel like I'm doing pretty good except: <p

Thanks very much for your excellent advice Darvin3. I abandoned that particular quest when I took a closer look at what was arrayed against me, My next foray will be more along the lines of your strategy. Thinking that it takes too long to arrive at the technology to colonize the ice world, so I'll start with the asteroid. Going back to read again the advice for "beginners post". Cheers! Back to the fray! Scartch

Thanks suavesamaritan. Right now I'm getting my butt kicked by two enemy. Lost an ice planet for not paying attention to loyalty. Happily I've played long enough to discover the worth of the game, so I'll soldier on. Cheers!

Hi GoaFan77. Glad I reloaded and gave it another shot. I didn't start out with an ally. It just developed by giving money and developing trade. So far so good. Sins certainly has a steeper learning curve then my prior strategy games. A lot of thought must have gone into it by the Stardock people. I will most likely want to look at other titles by these people. Many thanks for your advice. Scartch <

Wow! [e digicons]:D[/e] What a difference. Been able to colonize an ice planet and an asteroid. Also, was able to defeat another ice planet from an outfit that didn't like me. This is an enemy of my allie. Hope that allies treat you better in this game than they do in Medieval 2. Taking your advice to put in tactical hardware in the outposts surrounding my home planet. Many thanks for your help. Your suggestions should go into a slot for a

You are all quite right. I thought the best course was to build a supporting base before exploring. Evidently Sins requires a different style of gameplay over that which I had developed. So, I reinstalled. (Crow is an acquired taste.) Starting with medium "Planets", unlocked "Teams", and unlocked "Pirates". (unless anyone strongly disapproves) If things get to be unraveled, I'll just save it till I can figure things out. I greatly appreciate
