I realize it's just an expansion, but it's priced as a standalone game.

Re: Sins of a Solar Empire
Then I'm lucky I got it for the price of an expansion, $15.

Normally, we use hamachi. I don't suppose you have a group of your own prepared?

It's priced at 40$, which is apparently expansion price these days.
Re: Sins of a Solar Empire
Well, are we all going to just sit here or are we actually going to play today?

Indeed.
Re: Sins of a Solar Empire
So today, I saw an AI do something I had never seen it do before. I jumped my fleet to the enemy controlled asteroid adjacent to their capital world and instead of attacking me head-on in the usual AI fashion, the artificial bastard actually went and hid his fleet behind his orbital defense network. This was no bug or movement issue, the ships were literally sitting behind their beam platforms with me going "come out so I can kill you" and them responding "No."

It wouldn't be so disturbing if it had shown it was capable of such tactics in any other of the dozens upon dozens of games I've played against AI. So yeah, IT'S EVOLVING!!!fr0stbyte124 wrote:An AI displaying reasonable tactics? Truly, we live in a disturbing age...
