"where did that come from?"

That's exactly what I found myself saying when I first read about it on 1up back on Jan 10th. I will often keep tabs on games months before they come out, so to stumble across such a vast one so close to release was a surprise. I think many potential players still haven't heard of the game, none of my gaming friends did and even the EB guys I talked to when preordering didn't know what I was talking about. Unfortunately every time I mention the game to someone new I have to bring up similarities to Homeworld and GalCiv as frames of reference for them to understand what I am talking about, but they usually seem interested by the time I am done.

The press loves ya ... no they worship sinning

lol spartan



I do not think that some people would know what that means if ir just appeared in the article

I am really surprised that people are finding out about this game now. I found out about it through the Stardock newsletter! This "appearance" has been brewing for ages. There has been a void ever since Starcraft II (yes i said the 's' word) never came out. But now that it is coming out, Sins has taken priority over starcraft!

i found that sentence in the preview:

> The fully 3D world was easy to navigate in full 360 degree motion although most
> unit movement will naturally be on the X and Y axis.

so does that mean all my ships are stuck on the x-y-coordinates?
or is it possible to move my fleet where ever i want in the universe like in homeworld?

moving along all coordinate axis is very important to a space RTS for me   

Why? Unlike in Air combat, the third axis is just another vector for distance. There is no inherit advantage for being "higher" or "lower" in space combat. It only needlessly complicates things, and makes the battle less about raw tactics. I don't understand why anyone would care to move up the grav well. It would give you nothing aside from making it harder for you to retreat.
