And in case you wonder, it still hurts 2 years later...
Multiple topics have been opened about this issue. I'm just relaying the bad news here... https://www.reddit.com/r/Stardock/comments/a72cpw/new_minor_factions_dlc_for_sins_of_a_solar_empire/ehysxqo/ Due to resource constrain

I felt like I should put down a short post-mortem and customer feedback. From my perspective, this has been an extremely bad experience: No clear communication on the topic but a vague "no concrete plans" for a start (it looked pretty bad from day 1 but still, many of us still had hopes and patience is usually a virtue). No follow up from Stardock despite the growing worries of the GOG community for several months. Final answer found 3 months later,

Thanks for the reply, although I'm having a bit mixed feelings at the moment. It sounds like bringing it to GOG is not a priority (or at least not a "concrete plan"). It would be extremely sad for players that supported the game on that platform to end up with an obsolete version of the game compared to Steam users. It somewhat turns the good news to see a new DLC into bad news. Hopefully, you will find it relevant to deliver it on GOG and find the ressources to make that move

Stardock, that question about a GOG version is for you. Many other persons are interested too... It is sad to be always late compared to Steam...

Any chance to see this arrive on GoG?
Ok, I could finally unlock both harmony tree and pirate achievement ! [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
Haha, this is so cheap [e digicons]v_v[/e] (But I like the idea [e digicons]:blush:[/e] )
Thanks for your replies. About the harmony tech, I am surprized you have to win the game afterwards (I didn't have to when I got the same one for the Vasari). But I'll give a try tonight, I must have a save with most of the tree ready. Any clue if the "kill 1000 pirate ships" one is working fine ? Can I do it by killing my opponets first, build defense and look at the pirates crash against them ? I have a doubt whether any achievement can be unlocked after someone actu
Hi, I decided to try to get all the achievements for sins as I had some time ahead of me, but it seems some of them are broken and cannot be accessed by following their description. For instance : "Destroy 20 planets in one single game", I thought it was related to the vasari sttc power (I had already bombed countless planets on previous games with huge maps before so to me it was something different). If yes, then it probably does not work as I received the achievemen
Still about change the "MaxEmpireWindowStackSize 999" I just saw the difference in the way mines are displayed in the empire tree (per packages of 10 usually, now per packages of... a lot more). It makes a lot of room which is great. So now I believe I can do the same with ships. I'll see in the control panel where to update this because so far I have only mines that stack.
"I just edit my Rebellion.user.settings file and change the "MaxEmpireWindowStackSize" to 999. This allows you to give orders to all of a specific type of unit very easily." By the way, I just edited the file as suggested but I am not sure I noticed anything changed. What should be different ?
I updated the first message of the topic with all answers gathered so far. A couple remain pending or still under debate. About some of the latest answers provided: 14) "Send him credits or resources. This is by far the fastest way to get the relation up to a cease fire. Then follow through with envoys once you have the cease fire." => Well, you need a minimum <span style="text-decoration: underline;
Thx, About 8 c ) It's in line with what I've just found in the tips "Refineries can exploit owned and adjacent resource asteroids. Asteroids can only support so many refineries at a time though." About 15) I have not been able to reach peace then break the treaty so far. But the manual mentions a "moment" after breaking peace treaty where both parties cannot fight each other. "Afte
Thanks, so I have been through the manual again and found some confirmations as well as some new questions (sorry). I will gather everything in the first message to make the whole thing easier to read. But before that, one confirmed answer from the rules. I have reached half of the rulebook so far... it's pretty dense. 5) A sword near a player in the pirate menu means a raid is being done on the player. So on the game I was playing, someone was probably bein
Hey, that helps already :) 6) Good, so searching "randomly" is only for the local bonuses. I wonder if they are worth the price of a full search which is quite a lot. Generally I do this when I'm swimming in credits but it never happens in the early game. 8) Haaaa I never noticed the refinery quota ! Thx 9) That one is funny because I'm pretty sure I tried it once and did not notice anything. Maybe the planet concerned was already in the middle o
Thanks for your replies ! 1) Understood, that must be it ! 2) It just happened to me again. A rebel fleet arrived at my planet. Most ships passed in range of the orkulus and were destroyed. The rebel planet bomber ship did not and had time to blow up the whole asteroid while the orbital station had already destroyed other ships long ago. Then he attacked the orkulus and died. I checked engagement range and it was set to maximum (whole gravity well). Auto attack
Ok, so there are some things that are either bugs, or ergonomics issues... or maybe it's me... :) 1) Why sometimes rebel "white" vessels (that do not belong to any faction) arrive from nowhere and start attacking my planets ? That's not an allegiance issue as far as I can tell because my planet stats did not show anything wrong with allegiance when it occurred. 2) Why, when those rebel ships arrive, my Orkulus star bases look at them until they finish bombing my planet
Thanks for all the clarifications. Too bad steam has become a must for this game... I will purchase it online then, the main purpose of a box was to be independent from the system. If it's just having a box to have a box, that does not help me much :( I will follow your link and try to purchase it now. I hope the price reduction applies worldwide (I'm in France). EDIT: special pricing seems to work, cool !
Thank you for your reply. As far as I can remember, I wanted to pre-order the game but I could only find "digital preorder" with $10 off the regular price (which is why I did not do anything waiting for a boxed version). I probably missed that offer. I may wait a little more to see what they offer in this version and if it will be opened to everyone. Any idea if the collector/boxed edition will be steam free ?
Hello, I have just noticed the latest standalone/expansion is out and... On the one hand, I am a total fan of SOASE since the first release. On the other hand, I always try to avoid digital sales (like steam) because - I've always felt more comfortable with my own box (I feel independent about the online system) - I do not like the idea that I purchase something I cannot resell later if I want to - I like collecting real stuff (not vaporware
