Pre-order is available on Steam I see. I didn't know about this one, have the previous game though but not really played much. This one seems to have had a graphics overhaul and is looking pretty good, game-play-wise too. Says on Steam you get immediate acess to the beta if you buy from them.

EDIT: If you buy from the devs website and already have Trinity you get 10% off which bring it down to £18 for me smile

Yup, I'll be pre-ordering this tonight and I do have Trinity so I'll be eligible for the 10% offer. Sins is one of the best space strategy games I've played in a very long time. I have over 300 hours of game time logged in the Sins series. biggrin

I like the original, but couldn't really get into it or attached to it. I think the lack of story made it seem a little pointless. The races have decent backstory, but that just isn't enough.

I can understand that being an issue for some. The lack of a story-driven campaign with interesting characters that can draw you in is indeed a weakness of the game. I will disclose though that more than half of my playing time in the Sins series has been multiplayer.

Meh! For that, just buy Empire At War Gold edition which is also available on Steam!

Now what I would love is a Babylon 5 mod for Sins.

Myself and KlarSnow play Sins on a regular basis. It's the mix of RTS and 4X that makes it different. It's addictive once you get used to it.

We should get together one night and play a game. Jedi Master and I play Sins quite often.
