Okay now the lack of info is getting overwhelming....

We need some sort of guide on Entrenchment

from Sins Forums

I love sins.  I read each change log quickly as it comes out, say "ooo" then forget all the details as I have a job and a life where I can't spend hours a day just trying to figure out how to play.  Entrenchment looks great, I played the beta a bit...but geez.....what does what to who now?  I can't even find how to remove mines...what the different mines do etc.  You can imagine how I feel about not knowing what any ship really does now or what the counters are.

Yes I realize to get really deep in the game you need lots of time and forum searching.....fine.  But this game can't only be for people who's lives revolve around gaming....it's so awesome but we need at least a starting point to work from here.

I honestly rate SOASE as the best game ever made personally and Entrenchment seems incredible as the 1st add-on.  I have been playing this since the first week SOASE was released (as I was a big galciv fan).  If I am now completely lost as to where all the changelogs added up to and what the features of the game really are...what hope do new players have?  I mean I got pretty good online with the first version and now.....I wouldn't dare to go online as I have no clue whats going on in the game.  Not even the slightest.

Please, PLEASE now that Entrenchment is retail can we have an official guide?  Or, at the very least is there a wiki updated?  I hate the idea that people will buy this, get frustrated through lack of info and never play again.  If info appears in 3 months that will be too late for many and online players just wont be there.

I am frustrated but love the game - help please-!

Their working on a manual. But to asnwer soem fo yoru questions on the fly.

Scouts are what you need to clear mines.

Counters are the same as before. LRF counter LF, LF counters carrier/support cruisers. For the full list the forums you'll will have to check.

Mines:

TEC: Standard blowup mine
Advent: Homing blowup mine
Vasary: Standard blowup mine and a Gravaty mine as well. Think it dissable engines.

To kill starbases TEC and advent have a new cruiser. Vasari need to build their own Starbase.

I've been playing Sins Entrenchment for two days and didn't know any of that information. I've tried to find information in the change-logs but as Towarf says, it's all just too hard. The sooner a manual or guide comes out the better.

That's great to hear, I will be looking forward to it...I hope it outlines specific differences between races...what ships can't and can't do etc. 

I just really hope it comes out before too many people shift their attention elsewhere out of frustration.  The more addicted the better for longterm online play (and obviously so they will be salivating over the next 2 add-ons).
