I find the pace rather refeshing.

meh, i like to pace also, but it could really go faster

In Entrenchment there will be a even faster option of the game. STAY TUNED

It would be a nice change, and not necessarily a hard one to implement if it's just a scalar modifier of some constants to the same effect as income/build speed modifiers we have now.

I agree with Tyr.  We need an extra fast pace.

I like th speed as well ads a little more to the game..... and on the 6 hour my home was under attack  and by the 10th hour  we had are fleet knocking at there door.....

Personally, I hate fast game speeds, which is all anyone wants to play online.  Fast speeds are for people who want to play the game like an arcade game, not a strategy game.  How on earth are you supposed to think or plan a strategy, much less execute it, when the game is flying 90 to nothing?  Things like taking planets even becomes useless, because with the fast income rates you can't spend the money that's already coming in fast enough as it is.  Fast speeds remove all thinking and strategy from the game, and turn it into an arcade game and a clickfest.  If they add some uber-fast speed setting, that would be fine with me as long as they keep the slower speed settings as well.

Have you tried playing at 8X speed (push the +/- buttons)? At 8x speed, it plays faster than Starcraft.

That's one of the differences between a tactical game (like Starcraft/Dawn of War) and a strategic game... Strategy games are slower... it's just how it has to be. SoaSE is more akin to games like Master of Orion, but real time instead of turn based. Only other game I've seen even remotely similar to SoaSE in application is Super Power.

the people i like to play with have long since learned sins thourogh enough to enjoy all the stratagy aspecs and carry them out like a calculator does math, i honestly could almost perfect accuarate tell you how a game pans out just by scouting positions. all thats left is waiting for your ships to travel and structures to build and money to accumulate and fleets to mass.

i even dont take bathroom breaks before games, i que my opening builds and hit the spot. if i have to dump then i send my scouts out and que some actions for my cap and go fast.

this games so slow to me, i can take a dump almost any point in the game, just automate my fleet and cap, que builds, /a afk 5 or 10

You can always radically speed up singleplayer in Sins or Entrenchment with the +/-.

In some ways Entrenchment multiplayer will be faster - it doesn't take anywhere near as long to clear a gravity well because you have anti-structure ships now. It also allows you to make a pincer group to gain critical ground against an opponent because you can defend other flanks. Also, we have added a couple new things that will speed up multiplayer a bit (you haven't seen these yet).

YAY!!!
