Yes and yes. Entrenchment is definately worth the money. If you like Sins, then buy it.

You already have the answer in your other post, but ill state it here again anyway

at the moment, you cant buy Entrenchment with cash, its only available though Impulse (i believe) but at the very least its only available online, meaning you need a CreditCard or Visa DebitCard or equivalent.

But yes, its definitly worth it, and its only $10... Lunch will often cost more.

Good luck

Entrenchment is well worth the purchase if you enjoyed Sins.

There is absolutely no way I would go back to vanilla, the new game is superior.

Yes Yes Yes..

StarBases add a whole new level to play...

I can't wait for the next Xpac!!!

To be honest, the fighter movement ability on all ships alone is worth me paying my share for the game

sample awesomeness in entrenchment.

TEC
starbase heaviliy upgraded with armor, weapons and fighters, aux government etc that keeps the planet under your control longer.
planet defesnses are improved:  gauss cannons have two new upgrades giving them more firepower, hangers have flak, mines

NOTE:  mines CAN be seen just not targeted by the enemies until they bring in a scout to detect them.  once detected than can be targeted and destroyed.

ive had mid-grade starbases that  have held grav wells against 4+ caps and support fleet by itselve against the AI.  fully upgraded starbases arent even attacked by AI unless they have the long range weapons to counter them.  even then, the star base will probably win if it has bomber support.

hands down for $10 it is worth the upgrade.

Is Entrenchment worth it?  I'd say that that depends.  If you play online multiplayer, you really need to have it since most people who play online multiplayer regularly have Entrenchment and you might have a hard time finding games to play in without it and you'll miss out on the 5v5 and 4v4 games.

On the other hand, if you play single player, then you need to consider your options and whether or not Entrenchment is worth $10 to you.  Entrenchment adds starbases, two new ships for killing enemy structures and starbases (Vasari doesn't have one for various reasons), and a few new items on the tech tree that are unrelated to starbases.

Personally, I like Entrenchment, but I only play the game in online multiplayer.  In contrast, if you don't go online and play single player, one issue might be whether or not the AI uses the new content properly--it might not add as much to the game as it does in online multiplayer if the AI cannot use it very well.  If you only play single player you have options for expanding your game and for adding content to it for free.  (Online multiplayer suffers from a lack of auto-download for custom maps and mods, so custom maps are rarely played and mods are never played, which doesn't mean that it isn't great fun, just not as great as it could be.)  There are all sorts of custom game mods to explore, some of which are probably excellent and have a devoted fan base and active modding community, such as the Seven Deadly Sins mod that you might want to explore.

Of course, one benefit of purchashing Entrenchment is that you would be supporting Ironclad and Stardock and helping to encourage the production of PC games that lack intrusive, despicable DRM and mind-numbing consolization.

Dauntless Ansible, I don't mean to be an ass, but when I look at your avatar, I have to ask myself, "Would Ender Wiggin be satisfied with playing against AI forever or would he prefer the challenge of playing against other people?  What would Ender play?"

(OK Haree, go ahead and roast me.)

Yeah, I suppose that's true.  But I suspect that if he were a Sins player and not doing what the military had ordered him to do, he'd prefer to play it in online multiplayer, which offers a much greater challenge than playing against AI.  So come check out the online action.  You could start out by playing humans v. AI games (comp stomps) which might be a good way to meet some folks and to enjoy the camraderie of having human allies.

It's more about how trustworthy the company is.  It's true that running around spending money on the internet three hundred times a day is risky, but if you stick to trustworthy companies (i.e. Stardock, Best Buy, Wal Mart, etc.) then the chances of getting your identity stolen are minimal.  Purchasing this game should not be considered a security threat.

I play against people online all the time, just not in RTS!

RTS AI fun > Vs Human fun  

I'd get a lot more fun out of Coop human Vs AI fun though probably.

Ok, do you know when your ships attack other ships, they tend to stay in a line formation at all times. well what fighter movment will do is that they will allow the ships to move during an attack. Same as you were to build the fighters from the hangers

Well I tried it last night and really enjoyed it, but 4 and a half hours was a big commitment, won't be doing it too regular
