All right this is more of a general survey of how people are playing Sins of a solar Empire and its expansion, Entrenchment.
Alright, for those who are going to respond to this post, I generally want the post in this general format. Please stick the postings to the survey cause it will be interesting by the time I am done with this
So the formating, just copy and paste the following and answer accordingly...:
What I meant by vanilla sins is the original sins without entrenchment...

Do you "own" your copy of sins? (don't be ashamed if you don't)
I do have a store-bought copy of Sins.
Do you own entrenchment?
No, though I will likely buy it soon.
Let say you were to divide you time between Vanilla and Entrenchment sins, what percentage of time do you play Vanilla or Entrenchment?
100% Vanilla, obviously.
Roughly how many hours a day do you play Sins (either)(count mutliplayer also)?
Usually about 30 minutes-2 hours each day. It really does flucuate though, since sometimes I'll not play at all and another day spend a lot longer.
If you play Vanilla Sins, do you play with mods?
No.
Do you play multiplayer? and which one (vanilla or entrenchment or both)?
Yes, vanilla Sins.
Do you think you will buy the next expansion: dipolmacy?
Definately.
Of course, do you think this survey is long?
Not at all.

Hmmm.
I own my copy of sins of course.
I own Entrenchment.
I played my last full game of Entrenchment back in April 2009. (best game I had against 4 hard AI)
I played my last full Vanilla game probably in May 2009. (Heavy focus on LRF with small LF clean up fleets)
Yikes!!! I've really been out of the ring for awhile! Too much testing!
10. Occasionally, w/my best friend only.
11/12. No.
13. Maybe - I haven't been keeping tabs on it much.
14. A few of these could've been meshed together...
1. Do you "own" your copy of sins? (don't be ashamed if you don't) yes2. Do you own entrenchment? yes3. Let say you were to divide you time between Vanilla and Entrenchment sins, what percentage of time do you play Vanilla or Entrenchment? 100% Entrenchment4. Roughly how many hours a day do you play Sins (either)(count mutliplayer also)? less than 1hr per day, I used to play more but in all honesty the skirmish mode of gameplay gets kind of dull pretty soon.5. If you play Vanilla Sins, do you play with mods? - Yes6. If you answer yes to 5., what mods do you play with? - my own custom B57. If you play entrenchment, do you play with mods? Yes
8. If you answer yes to 6., what mods do you play with? - my own custom B59. If you play with 2 or more mods on either sins, do you play one more than the other? -10. Do you play multiplayer? and which one (vanilla or entrenchment or both)? No, I do not like MP systems which allow players to hide their identities or thier rank/game history. With RTS games this is much more important than other genres and spoils the whole experience so I just don't go there.
11. If you answer yes to 10, do you play with mods? N/A12. If you answer yes to 11, what mods do you play with? N/A13. Do you think you will buy the next expansion: dipolmacy? Possibly I am concerned that IC are focusing too much on expanding gameplay updates rather than adding depth to the game with graphical improvements, story, characters and campaign. So we will see soon enough too early to say for sure.14. Of course, do you think this survey is long? No but it does ask a lot of questions about mods.
Are you planning to make some sort of summary from these answers?
More than likely
1. Yes, 2 copies2. Yes, 2 copies3. 100% Enctrenchment4. When I do play it, it'll be on a streak of 3-4 days, 8+ hours each time. (I can go a few weeks without playing it... it's very draining)5. N/A6. N/A7. No8. N/A9. N/A10. Yes, Enctrehcment11. N/A12. N/A13. Yes, I hope it adds more content than just 'diplomatic' stuff though.14. No.
why do you own two copies?
