Yay!

Good read! And some new pics!

Also my favorite comment of the article! "One of the best and worst things about this year-long beta testing process is that we receive so many great ideas that we want to get as many of them as possible implemented, but they just don't stop coming! At some point closer to release we'll have to cut it off, unfortunately, and save the unused ideas for the expansion. Aside from the other two factions and multiplayer, most of the content is remaining is confidential but I'll drop a few hints: more environmental content, more NPCs, more ship customization, more UI advancements, more additions to the TEC (the currently accessible faction), more music, modding tools and much more!"

Nice article

Blair is my priest and i have sins to confess

I really like the minor races he talks about, i wounder if we will be able to negotiate with them in some way. For those of us that wont want war unless its absolutely nessesary.

I agree the first image looks to be Vasari and maybe the planet sucking ship?
But for the second image WOW look at that reflection on that ship

I like the writer's sense of humor! And his last name is Butts lol.

I also like how Yarlen created a thread on the same thing...but nobody commented lol.


Now I know from experience that many people are shaking their heads, saying, "there is no way all that is going to run on my hunk-of-junk computer." Before March I was a bit skeptical myself, as I didn't know for sure if Sins would scale as well as we wanted, because we hadn't tested it in the public domain. Well, now that we are well into development of beta 3, the data from beta 1 and 2 is in and the testimonials have arrived, we have confirmed that Sins does scale extremely well and we even have reports of people playing Sins on machines well below our projected minimum specs.


I think I'm one of those people lol (5200 gfx card, 512 RAM)

Expansion already!?!

Wow, I think I'm more excited about SoaSE than Spore (which I've been waiting for for 3 years)

Because he was behind the 8-ball... this thread existed hours before his post.

Its still kinda funny cuz Yarlen works for SD so it should've technically been the "offcial thread". Just proves how often Kosc stays up refreshing pages waiting for SoaSE updates.

Sorry, had a doctor's appointment so I got into the office late. The way the news system works is that I have to make a new post; can't just point to an existing one.

He does, but he does it hanging upside down from the rafters.

I sleep on occasion...

I didn't know Yarlen started a thread, else I wouldn't have stared one, where was his? I still can't find it, lol...
