Maps without pirates is good, but I'd like an option when choosing a map that disables the "small"* pirate fleets that hang around unclaimed planets. The pirate assaults are a pretty important part of the game I'm seeing, but the "small" fleets don't seem to do anything but prevent expansion into more desirable planets until you have a certain minimum fleet strength.

* I put small in quotes because the fleets around terran planets tend to be pretty substantial.

I have to admit I love the graphics in this game, I still would have liked it to look like Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. That has to be one of the best looking space-themed games in my book. It eerily resembles the look of Babylon 5.

SotSE really has the Homeworld look going for it. I'd love to see how well modders can push the engine with Star Wars, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, and so on.

After owning this game for a while now I can say I'm really happy with the no-strings-attached regular support it appears that Sins is going to be getting. Not having to deal with a CD in the drive or copyright protection along with already two patches with content (for free!) to the game really sets Ironclad and Stardock apart.

I just felt like I had to throw some praise on the business end of this game after the bad taste that still lingers a little bit from Hellgate: London. Hopefully this starts a trend against needless protections and fees in the gaming industry.
