There won't be a 1.05 unless plans change.

Yay for content patches

Thanks, Ron. Other references to 1.1 had cited higher-poly models, but not more graphically intense effects to go with them. That was on my wish list.

I'd like a graphical switch option for more types and models for and more persistent debris. What got me jumping on board Sins was a wonderful screenshot that a friend on a different forum posted during beta, showing a post-capship+frigateswarm battle pile of space junk.

No rush timer would be nice for the more casual gamers out there. A graphics upgrade would also be welcome. I already love the game, I can't imagine it with higher res textures, polys, and effects!

im hoping for different looking interface's for each race instead of tec for all

then use shift?.....

If I were to guess, I'd say the whole Advent/desert thing is likely a tribute to Homeworld. That story started out with a strong female leader living on a desert world.

Try to keep the discussion relevant to this game. And Nexus was lame .

Here's my idea: Alliance Viewer

Some type of expensive space station that acts as a semi planet with logistic & tactical slots that we can build/deploy in choke point systems of wormholes/dead asteroids/plasma fields/etc/etc/ so as to control key nodes better.

in a few maps the hw is desert. Vasari's cant not increase max pop but Advert can. Both tec and advert have a desert tech but not vasari

Advent homeworld was desert. And Vasari was volcanic :/

An option for generating smaller maps (3-6 planets/asteroids) so the big cool Babylon 5 space battles can be had within an hour instead of three. That means more colonizable structures like research stations (in addition to the metal and crystal mines that already exist) to get things moving along. Also colonizable artifacts-- that you don't have to spend money and metal to find, this would add an interesting exploratory dimension, and perhaps even create a race for that "key" artifact. This could potentially add more diverse strategies (i.e. invade the asteroid with 2 colonizable military research labs, versus the one with 3 colonizable civilian research labs) so there are more variations in the flow of the game. A very small random map generator would also be nice.

I'm sorry if this is a big request but I like fast down and dirty fighting in addition to building big space empires.
