Well this has been a slightly talked about game yet i see no topic here.

Ok well i'm just saying i noticed the SINS demo is released on gamespot. i havent looked anywhere else yet, but i thought i'd bring it to some people's attention.

Also i found some strange people comparing it to Mario Kart :S

There you go, maybe i'll upload some screen shots later.

Well having played the demo i'll report in.

It is SLOW! but not too slow. I'll explain, In my hour i created multiple fleets of ships attacked, won/lost, Controlled 3 (Yes only three) star-systems, and made half an ally of a computer player.

This game is not for people who like to get stuck in. You need to think strategically, and spend time building your forces and planning. Yet saying that on the medium map it was about 5 minutes in before i fought a small battle against pirates, and it was fun to watch. Still once i got the hang of the game it turned into a fun game where i was scouting other systems then running cause i found the pirates stronghold (This happened and 1/13 ships survived).

But if your not a speed freak and have been looking for something to fill the Master Of Orion 2 (or similar space game) void this is worth it and i'm getting it (Longer wait to get a Wii )

The demo gives you about an hour in single player which seems plenty to get into it just as you want some more, tutorials are there, you can only play as one of the three factions. (evil demo).

Oh and not an option for multi-player matches unless you want to wait several days or a week or two to get results . Players are smarter and will be able to draw the game out longer.

I've seen this, but haven't read much on it. Would I be right thinking it's kinda like the Rome:TW campaign mode with overview map and moving units around then normal RT battles?

Nope thats more......Star wars: Empire at war sorta.

This is all in real time so you build and attack at once. Heck you can even build a gun platform next to the enemy who are attacking you.

Whats image limit?

Ah, OK, that actually sounds pretty cool, might have to check it out.

The image limit (I assume you mean on here) stops people posting huge pictures that break the page. I think the maximum size is set to 800x2000pixels (WxH)

ok i'll sort out pictures later, i have work now but update of latest game.

I just found and bombed the one enemy homeworld, during that i destroyed two of their flagships and a number of frigates. That left me battered when space pirates came and joined in the fighting causing a three way fight. Then i thought my allies came to aid me, instead they ended our agreements and flew off to leave me with both the fourth enemy flagship, and a nest of pirates attacking me

Still v. unexpected.

omg I crave to play homeworld now been ages since I play good space strategy game are the damage models any good?

Here's one of the Koi/Kol Capital ship, might of been before i bumped up graphics but not much change.



Can't remember this ones name but this is the most boat like one.



This is the explosion of a Capital ship after me attacking it.



This is probably the biggest battle I've had the whole game. There are more pirates off screen, and the red cluster has about six of my ships there.



Story is i was being attacked as in above picture, The pinks, my so-called allies showed up to, i thought help me out. Upon arriving they announced our cease fire was over and severed all connections and they soon shot back off. However i managed to survive this evening when i finished the battle



Finally Here's two bombers unloading on a random pirate.



Any thing you want to ask go ahead, or want a screen shot of I'll try to obtain it.

cool pics, some other angles of the huge ships would be cool

Tomorrow if i'm not busy ill grab a few more .

i was distracted sorry i'll try to remember tomorrow for you

Looking at your first post and the pics how the hell did people compare this to MK??????

read link if it still works then

<----------------Is finally getting the game. Bratty expect some more screen shots when i get it and my computer back!
