Where do I build constructor ships?

from Sins Forums

  It's been a year since I played this game but I just bought the beta entrenchment and started again. I'm getting my bearings still. I believe entrenchment is installed on my computer as impulsedrive says it is. I was looking for a way to see in game if it is installed. I wanted to see where I build the heavy constructors or unlock that ability but I can't even find where to have constructors built. I've looked at the manual & googled it but no luck. I've spent some time in game looking but same there for me.

  Is there any way for me to see something on a tech tree or anything that will tell me I'm playing entrenchment? I would also like to know where constructors are built. Are heavy constructors in a tech tree because I don't see anything there.

  Thank you

Well there's a few things. First, the main menu will have the Entrenchment icon on it. Then the loading screens will have a "this is a beta" disclaimer. Then in-game, all the tech trees have a new "Defense" tree in addition to the old military/civilian.

You don't build contsructors, they just spawn around each planet.

Really?! Well, I open ImpulseDrive thing and it has taken the Sins logo away as it said it would when Entrenched is installed (which it says it is). I launch it from here if I want and it takes me into Sins without any of the stuff you mention. No new logo, beta disclaimer, or Defense tech tree.

  What gives then? My serial # is entered and accepted. I don't get it? I've already tried reinstalling once.

I dunno. Stardock's had a rough few days with Impulse, a lot of server hardware crashed on the 24th and they're still working to restore some of the services so it's possible it's not working just right yet. This is something you'll have to ask support@stardock.com about though, only they'd be able to figure out why it's showing you have Entrenchment installed but it's still the old Sins.

UPDATE:  I re-installed it for the 3rd time and this time it took. Thanks for explaining that. Set me in the right direction.

 Where do you unlock or build heavy constructors though? I don't see them or starbases in any of the tech trees.

All that stuff is in the new Defense tree.

Oh, Ok I see the heavy constructor now 3rd level of the Defense tree. Cool. Thank you
