Did you like it, hate it?

Any customizing to the ships or anything in the game? Found a place locally selling it for $20 and I am thinking of picking it up.

like it....it is massive RTS game

I ended up picking it up about 30 minutes after making the post. Figures, cant go wrong with a game voted game of the year for $20. So far I am liking it, the controls are a little funky, I dont think the tech tree really tells you enough or as clearly as I would have liked and the AI to be a little less zergy. I only played a little bit lastnight and today, just getting a feel for the game and it appears strike fighters is the item of choice for the AI. I think I will be needing more carriers.

Overall I think the game will give me plenty of fun while I macro, kinda burned out on DF right now and really not in the mood to play at the moment so I will be swimming 24/7 and offering myself up for spell/weapon targeting.

Did you get the expansion too? i played it alot when i first bought it and always had fun.

No I did not.

BTW Fighters are the way to go... kind of depressing they play such a big role but I was basically able to wipe out the pirates with mainly a fighter fleet lol.

The game is free limited time here:

It appears that CD-Action are giving away free downloads of Sins of a Solar Empire. They are giving out serial numbers which you then put into Impulse.

Head here, click "założyć TUTAJ". Tick the box then hit "Rejestruj". Then enter a username in "użytkownika", password (twice) in "Hasło" and and email in "Adres Email". If you prefer to not get any spam, use a disposable email address.

They will then send you an email for you to activate your forum account. Click on the link in the email, then log in and got to this link. They will send you a serial number for the game, which you enter into Impulse. You need to download Impulse, and enter the serial number into the client. You will need to register for an Impulse account if you do not have one already.

In Impulse, go to the top left menu icon, then select "Register a product", then hit "Add Registration", and paste the serial number in, and the game will be added to your account.

I can confirm this works, and have done it myself.

Update: Seems like Speedball 2 is available too. That's for Steam.]
