If you are not comfortable with running potentially very buggy software (though we've tried to minimize it), do not install this beta - wait for the final release.

This beta update is available only through Stardock's new Impulse platform. We will no longer be pr...

International packages are being sent via International First Class mail, which ca...

Gameplay Example: Sins of a Solar Empire

Frogboy — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 21:21:40 -0400

Even before humans decided that capitalism was their religion, the Ishendi were different. Their colony had originally been founded by members of a philosophical sect dedicated to living a more principled life. Over time, the Ishendi came to be seen as more militaristic than some of the other members of the TEC. The Ishendi tended to have little patience with the subtleties of contracts when some of the more slippery members of Trader Space did not fulfill their end of bargains.

What to do if you discover a really serious multiplayer bug/exploit

ConanBloodbane — Thu, 15 May 2008 05:18:29 -0400

Here are some of good options for what to do under these circumstances:
