Being a big space fighter fan, this game is a god-send for me. I've always loved things like freespace, empires at war, homeworld and a special mention to haegmonia only a few of these ever managed to get the truely epic feel the genre deserved.

In a wierd way, this game gives me the similiar feel to freespace - the stary/nebula backgrounds really remind me of that game... Ah god I loved freespace

I just adore how one second you can be managing a space battle, then zoomed out looking at a collection of worlds and a glittering star and even better I only get a single drop of lag when 100 + ships are duking it out in a glorious space battle.

The visuals have to be the best thing, Though I do wish they'd let me get a bit more indepth with the colony managment, building and micro of fleets a bit more.

sins beta 2 is great its better than most full games iv played lol and its just so sexy looking at ur fleet pooning everyone it would just be a draem come tru if the vasari came in the next beta    also u had me at RTS space empire game iv been waiting for a space empire game in real time turn based is ok but it gets crap after a while playing with chess pieces its much better to look at your newly constructed super sexy cap ship owning every one i like small fleets that are strong cos then it feel like each one of your ships is important and you can name emm all after stuf u like such as the bismark thats y id like the vasari and they remind me of the asguard from stargate with thier super good tek also 1 more thing make that tripple cannon on the Marza shoot cap ships that would be soo cool and maby have less missles from its battries but have the like torpedoes that move slow not many of them maby like 10 at 1s and make emm hit hard that would look cool and homeworldish i love the torpedoes on homeworld they look so nice when they are blowing up stuf

Yea i like that but not all cap ships should have no aa for example the carrier.

Comment edited in by Blair: Plz keep this thread on topic - there are plenty of threads to voice your concerns.

sorry blair what i like about the game is its scale and epicness lol i olso like the cap ships and how good they are when they get to the higher levs. I also like bombers how they are now. I like the research and how you have to build cool station to research stuf and there is alot more... this gme is just fantastic everything about it is great i loe the detail on the ships and most of all i like the 2 week long fights with 100 planets   

I really like the scale of the game, ie. the size difference between the ships, fighters planets. Although imho the planets and stars could be a bit larger, especially the stars.






Me likes watching fighter and bomber battles.

yea hey guys do u know where the screen shots are saved i cant find umm lol

thx y cant they just be put right into ur images folder?

Yes but supreme commander had a folder in my documents i think

I love many things about sins.. all of the above actually:) But the one thing I love the most is the gravity wells around the planets.. great idea.. also the star lanes for traveling:) I also love the ease of clicking on a ship from the menu tree to give it orders even if im half the galaxy away from it, and I love how the carriers have a little update cross on them when you need to get new fighters or bombers for them, and the capitol ships have the same little update icon on them so you know you need to manage their upgrades.. most cool:)I think you guys totally rock!

Just got the beta2 last night and I have to say I'm surprised, I wasn't expecting to like the game so much. It has good elements from several games I liked (one that comes to mind is hegemonia) and visually it's stunning. I like how it feels big and the little touches of the traffic around the planet sphere - It makes the planets seem inhabited

Keep up the good work.

After playing Galatic Civilizations I & II it has to be real 3D space ...       

The graphics overall are great.

For me, it is all of the little details that make the game fantastically immersive and fun.
The coms from the ship captains when they prepare for jump and when a ship is built are excellent. The pirates comments are fun and they make you want to go after them.
The graphics all have little tweaks that make them more interesting. The waves of missiles heading from a battle group to a target, the engine trails, how the bombers and fighters attack then veer off to line up another attack run. These are all details that I have discovered and that draw me in like I'm reading a good book. I keep zooming in and out of battles so that I can discover more.
IMHO, the more of these little details you can put into the game, the more immerzive and interesting it will be. Don't misunderstand, I am already more than glad that I spent my money well with this game (hey, with GalCiv I and II, how could I have gone wrong) but more little details, auditory, visual, and otherwise couldn't hurt!   

I have played several games and all I can say is that if this is the beta version i am stunned. Its the little things that make the game, like the load bar changinf colors or the random planets behind the different menu screens. The traffic aaround the planets also adds a very nice touch. Keep the skyboxes, music, traffic and artifact boosts.

One thing i would like to see comes from Gal Civ is the ability to desgin your own ships. Otherwise I eagarly await the next beta and can't wait for the final game.
