I tried the Demo.
Its fun but its very time consuming for sure. Plus the 90 minute demo limit doesnt help at all. On the random medium map is took forever to do.
But in the end of the 90 minutes.
I had 2 Planets and 1 asteroid colony only.
The second desert planet ended up being my Military Installation. Surrounded by 8 Gauss Platforms and Many shipyards.
Fleet:
1 Capital Ship
10 Missile Frigates
10 Light Frigates
5 Cruisers
4 Scouts
Darn Pirate raids hurt me quite a bit. they kept on raiding my installation.
Managed to make peace with one fraction creating a Trade Alliance and Cease Fire.
I was taking my time becasue I was still new.
Great Game.
Managed to play the game on Med/High at 1280x1024 with no AA (Forgot Exact Name of Feature) enabled. It ran smoothly.
The next major update for Sins of a Solar Empire, the best-selling PC strategy game of 2008 that puts the player in command of an interstellar empire at war, is here!
Since the new update is so huge and contains several brand new technologies, we?re going to be offering it as an optional beta for those who want to help test and provide feedback.
Version 1.1 not only includes a host of play balancing changes but new content such as an updated graphics engine, updated visuals, new damage animations, and more. It also includes a new multiplayer system called "Alloy" which eliminates the need for configuring routers or changing port numbers.
Sins of a Solar Empire is available for $44.95 at most retail outlets worldwide, as well as available for digital download at www.sinsofasolarempire.com or through Stardock's new digital distribution platform, Impulse.
This beta update is only available through Stardock's new Impulse platform, so get it now!

You serious? Carriers are easy to kill.. Especially if you use Garda Flak ships. Take 4 in with your fleet of 5 Kodiaks or 1 Kol BS and the carrier goes down, as do the bombers since the Gardas utterly rape them.

I recently bought Trinity while it was on sale on Steam, and now I'm looking for people to play with.
I also (cough) acquired a non-steam copy in case the people I could play with didn't have a, well, let's call them "Up-to-dates" copies.
If they don't have a legit copy by now then they truely suck. it's VERY cheap, even cheaper because of the sale. a must buy to anyone's collection pirate or not it deserves to be bought.
The game is cool but I guess I am big nub, because I cannot finish it in less then 4-5 hours against 2-3 med NPCs.
I played TEC and Advent- both are good but the whole game play is kinda slow if you have some ideas how to make good economics in the beginning I will be happy to listen to them.

I bought Trinity on Steam a few days ago after finding vanilla SoaSE in the cupboard a few days before and playing it again.
It's certainly a time drain, and I'm really not sure if I like it or not. I'll never be able to play online - I'm completely awful and I distinctly remember everybody I tried playing online against LRM rushing my home world immediately.
I haven't even tried Diplomacy yet. Just sticking to Entrenchment for now, always playing Vasari and getting accustomed to the new military research areas. Especially Starbases. Watching a fleet of Cobalt Light Frigates jump to a gas giant with one of my upgraded Starbases around it, trying to attack and then get completely obliterated always lifts my heart.
Really not sure about it.

Same. What happens a lot is me saying to myself "Twenty more minutes and this is over" and then three hours later being exactly where I was before with a few extra things researched.
[17:45:39] Wolfs Ghost (Murphy): Tom, you have problems. Go kill yourself.
[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.
[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.
[17:40:48] Eagle (Junes): Tom should be slapped with a spoon.
[11:32:18] Warspite: Thank you for being so awesome Tom. <3
[18:17:36] Metano: I love you tomtom
[20:06:24] Warspite: I will seriously give you epic head.
