Portable Sins?

A Sins of a Solar Empire on the PS Vita?

from Sins Forums

I was having a think about sins (as I often do) and i came wandering to the thought of how awesome a portable version of the game would be.

so could a cut down version of the game be releaced on vita (obviously it would probably have to be a new build from the ground up. )

So here are my thoughts

Smaller Maps (No more than 20ish planets)

No Frigates or mine and lower fleet supplies. (so the poor little vita doesnt have to render all these tiny little swarms of things

The hud is a popup menu and is hidden most of the time to save screen space.

the empire tree only displays the condensed version (colored dots) of the units and selecting a particular planet expands that into a full view.

the analogue sticks control the camera (left does up down left right) (right rotates the camera)

rear touch pad is the zoom

tapping the front touch screen to select a unit and swiping it draws a box for group select.

once a unit is selected, holding down a button and tapping on empty space moves the unit

I would love it. The handheld needs a bigger strategy library. The problem is I don't know that the developers would be interested.

I personally don't like RTS on consoles at all, I think they're meant for PC

normally i would agree...but the addition of two touch screens really makes a difference

It's been done on tablets with touch screens but Stardock is not willing to go ahead and mix itself with Sony or Microsoft and besides they just don't have the manpower to build it from the ground up again.

You just need a tablet with Windows on it to make it work.
