Found this game on a whim when I was a kid. I was looking at the pc games in an aisle at Target. Looked at the box and it looked so cool. Little did I know 15 years later I would still play it. One of my favorite games of all time. Been playing the early stuff and am loving it. Cant wait to play my beloved Advent!

@@stardockgames I got to ask you a question that soundtrack at the end is completely new I never heard of that soundtrack is it going to be in the next August update

I have played since I got my very first pc in 2008, sins 1 was my introduction to pc gaming and it was a hell of a first impression, it solidified for decades the type of games I was interested in and drove my lifelong interest in sci fi and astronomy. I still play lots, have all the DLC's, have probably bought sins for more more of my friends on steam than any other game and have been enjoying the hell out of the second one in early access as well. I can't believe such an incredible, genre defining game has been made in my home province and that a sequel came after 15 years, as well that we have continued to have support for the first game for this long, thank you for keeping ironclad games and sins alive, I think I speak for all of us when I say it means a lot. Incredibly under rated and talented people behind this project for sure.

What new features?

Yes, Vesari are escaping the existential threat, the 4th faction. Faction already mentioned in the Rebellion intro that they are close, since Vesari are begin more desperate, and it was stated that scouts come in contact with them. But as we see, in Sins II there is no word about them and except few mechanics there is nothing new, its looks more to me like an remastered/enhanced edition, than a full fledged sequel. Also, Advent become Advent after millenia of exile on a harsh desert world. Its no wonder that they are twisted and thirst for vengeance.

Gosh I loved Sins of a Solar Empire. Bought the Physical copy back when it came out in stores. Just looked so amazing to me back then. Three distinctive factions that fought in different ways, the mix of empire building and getting your eco going but also heading into massive fights. Ships having different abilities and roles... Rebellion doubled down on all of that and of course the lil dlcs added as well which just enhanced gameplay. The modding community is amazing... you got Halo mods, Star Wars, Star Trek, entire overhauls... it has been a treat. Truly, the only two things that would have made the game an even better experience than it had been would have been a campaign mode for each faction, to learn some more about them and their motivations and how they deal with things. As well as less lag. Mid to late game always started lagging but then again. That seems to be a theme with most empire building strategy games. Just too much going on at once.

I really enjoyed number 1. It certainly opened my eyes to a whole new genre of games. I will be keeping a close eye on number 2 for sure. Hope that it releases finished and reviews well.

A developer thoroughly enjoying the mods contributing to their game's growth. Now, that's rare!

I wasn't sure what Sin 2 could offer that Sins didn't already have and I was on the fence about the orbiting planets... But now that I know it's optinal, I'm more warm to the idea of trying it and if I dont like it, turning it off. Getting excited for the sequal.

Loved the first game to bits especially the star trek armada 3 mod. I also love the fact that the a lot of the Modders have been hired to work on the game and make it way more accessible to the community. I love the feature of being able to track and shoot down missiles. I would also love to see capital ship movement introduced in combat, as seen in the star trek armada 3 and other mods. Instead of ships sitting in one spot shooting, they fly around the gravity well automatically trying to shoot each other.

There's nothing quite like playing a single game of the original for 10+ hours only to wind up losing and not even being mad about it because it was so much fun. And to do that 15 years after the game came out...amazing.

Been waiting a long time for Sins 2 to release on Steam, worth the wait!

very excited.

Shit, now I have the urge to reinstall Sins 1 to play around with until 2 releases lol. I was never any good at 4X or RTS games, yet I keep going back to both and Sins was an excellent blend of the two! 💚

Homeworld 3 and Sins 2 releasing this year, ah the ecstasy!

So are you

Nice to see that you have expanded upon the things that made the original game good in Sins II and added some very interesting new mechanics. So many studios seem to discard the good parts and/or dumb down gameplay in sequels, when it is this depth that keeps players like myself engaged with the title. I am very much looking forward to the release of Sins II.

wish this came to steam now instead of homewrold 3

The only history that matters is that I played an absolute ton of this game for like a decade.

Honestly i always felt that Sins was the rightful successor to Lucas Arts best ever Star Wars RTS 'Star Wars Rebellion' Still looking forward to SoSE II, it's the Biggest RTS release since SCII-LotV and since Blizz has spent the last few years forgetting they're a fricken RTS company one of the few to look foward too in my book. Also gota support Stardock as a Michigander!

Unfortunately that was out of scope for launch. Sins is meant to be a sandbox game first and foremost. If we do a campaign, it will be as DLC at some point in the future.

*Why do they don't expand the story? Since the first game we still don't know about history of Vasari or cults of the Advent..*

If we have ranked we need 2 types of maps to choice.. one whit orbiting planets and one where they dont.

I do hope Sins II doesn't have siege ships that so easily turn starbases and other planetary defenses trivial. It always bothers me when ships have drastically disproportionate damage and especially range against stationary defenses. Stationary defenses already pay a heavy price by, well, being stationary (sans the Orkulus anyway) as well as the starbases costing an enormous amount of resources. When a small fleet of siege and anti-strikecraft can lay waste to a system with massive stationary defenses with no problem that is always disappointing.

we need more info on what the vassari are running from. maybe even a new faction.
