They're saying on the forums they're going to keep a close eye on it. Thats what I like about SD, they really do listen to their consumers/players and do take action if theres a problem, but they are also gamers, so know about the whole nerf/bump cycle.
One trick is to research the civil ability that lets you see enemy ships a few jumps out from your planet, that gives you some time to react. Or pop scout ships a few stops out from your planets.

Yeah, that and sensor networks, although that doesn't really give you the time to respond. Still getting used to it though, will play again tonight.
I always seem to have a problem with crystal production, seems to be the hardest thing to get!

Find an ice planet.
First time I played i got sandwiched between pirate city and the computer, you have to push out fast and lay claim to the resources. ice planets have lots of crystal, whereas volcanic ones have lots of metal.

There are trailers and game previews on youtube and the SoaS website.
Additionally, the game has no copy protection other than CD registration for online/lan MP. So if you're bad you could just find a torrent of it to try in SP, or if you're good, buy it to support the anti-copy protection games company!

I am tempted by this, but like chodax, I really want to try it first.

Think I'll download it and give it a try if there isn't a demo...but being a big fan of Stardock, I'll give them some cash if I like it.

Managed to download it from newsgroups, but onlyhad time to play it for about 20minutes. Its looks ok i just need to work out the tech tree and trade system first... One thing i did notice tho is, when i went to collonise a plannet right next to me the computer was already there guarding it with 4 frigates after only 10mins??. Same with another plannet close to me.

Its worth noting that you get your first cap-ship free. And cap ships level up.
My general tactic is to build my cap ship and 2-4 frigs, then go to the next planet. Your cap ship will make fairly easy going of most pirates unless its their homeworld (use the retreat button) and get some nice experience too.
