Score, I'll have to go wrestle some people who arn't already in the beta into playing now.
Wrestle them with this! Certainly the most amusing review of Sins and Entrenchment yet.

How did this expansion shape up? Not like $10 is a lot, but is it a must have! purchases?
If you ask me, yes. There are a lot of awesome changes it brings. Especially if you like mods, it opened many new doors for mods (changing graphical appearance of ships/buildings through research/upgrades, weapons being able to shoot at more than one target at once, frigates with fighter physics, mod stacking, etc). Much of these things are due to the way Starbases were implemented (like the number of targets and appearance changes), and through modding can be expanded to pretty much anything else. Of course there are AI improvements, like sieges trying to go around your cluster of turrets (as only the most obvious)!
Could anyone please tell me how big the expansion is? In megabytes.
100mb dl but it says 300mb install? Something to that effect.
the 300mb install is because it needs room to unpack and all that. the 300 should be the size of the compressed download + the uncompressed actual install files, or something like that.
Its really not that big all things considered.
I personally feel that the starbases are a much needed feature. Now we just need better AI and diplomacy options, so if only somebody thought of ... wait, that is the next expansion! so when's beta?
I have another question, i brought the game when i didn't have impulse, now i do have impulse how do i download the game?
Ty.
Edit: Don't worry its come up.
But now i have ANOTHER question. Yes.
Impulse wantes me to register Sins, i typed in the serial on the game manual and i didn't work, what do i do now?
Register the game in Impulse, and it should appear automatically.
Also i accidently erased the registered Entrenchment entries because i didn't know there was supposed to be 2. I know i know my idiocy is inescapeable...

Does anyone know how to get my custom maps from Sins v. 1.15 to work in Entrenchment?
There is an update to the Forge Tools that includes a map converter. It is in the download section here:
