What about the campaign you guys were planning? dam it some one already posted it.

Because Stardock Central is being phased out, so nothing new is going to be added to it. And it's not going to be in retail until the whole bundle for obvious reasons, $10 product does not justify making boxes/disks/retailer contracts.

I don't know about the campaign, though. That one's a mystery for me as well. I know they wanted to do one, so I expect that eventually they will. I also expect that it'd be kept as much a surprise as possible.

1.  A single player campaign will not be a part of this micro expansion.

2.  Because Impulse is the replacement for Stardock Central.  All new products are being released to Impulse as we retire the SDC platform

3.  Entrenchment, as the name implies, is about bolstering defensive capabilities in the game.  As it stands you have one turret type, and a hanager bay for fighters/bombers.  Short of having a fleet at a planet, your defensive options are limited.  Adding defense deepens the gameplay and gives players more options.  As to how powerful these structures will be, that's unknown still as the expansion isn't ready for balancing just yet.

Ok, that is good to hear, I can wait til next summer.

Sounds good. So no campaign in this set of mini-releases... But are you guys still going to do a SP campaign at all?? or is the plan to only work on mp related things for some time?

Is there any possibly of a lower price for buying all three at the same time?

Is this the expansion that was mentioned in the press release a little while ago? The release said that the expansion would have a single player campain and multiple new factions. If these mini-releases won't have a campain, does that mean that a full expansion will come out later with one? Or has the big one been scrapped? Will there be any new factions in the mini-expansions?

Ok $10 is too much for too little imo, sorry guys you wont be milking me on this even though I still enjoy playing this game allot. I can wait till all of those are wrapped up into one and it's only $20.

$10 too much? That's your opinion and that's fine, but I wouldn't calling it "milking"... I'd call it practically giving it away. What's ten dollars? Two packs of cigarettes? Two and a half gallons of gas? An hour's work? I don't think $10 is unreasonable, and I'm not loaded either.

Idk if I'll be buying the diplomacy and the other expansion pack, but I think Entrenchment sounds pretty good! Having bases protect the planet, more long range weapons, devices that slow down enemy ships... awesome! I give it five stars

Very nice. I am looking forward to these. Bravo Stardock.

Double that!! 

I agree completely. Plus, again, then you can choose which portions of the overall expansion pack you actually want. It takes the developers time and money for the new models, coding, and to distribute the thing. Plus, remember, we only payed 40 bucks for this awesome game (who cares no campaign, it doesn't need one), so this first ten bucks only just brings it up to normal PC game prices. Stardock's got my vote.

I can't speak to future content.  I just know that Entrenchment specifically will not have a campaign in it.  There are still two other micro expansions and the larger expansion later on that's been mentioned in the past.

Hats off to Stardock and Ironclad.  I can't wait until I get my hands on this.....so I can begin modding it!  Finally, Starbases, upgradeable turrets, and mines.  Something I have been working on for months to jury rig into the game engine to allow this things through workarounds and shortcuts.  Now these will be available, and the possibilities will be endless.

It will be a welcome addition to 7 DEADLY SINS.....

People have been asking for better defenses, and "true" starbases since the early beta days. SD, and IC are delivering.

$10 is very reasonable. I was sold on the 1st paragraph
