edit: uh, double posted something.

The engine isn't being changed any time soon, and it definitely isn't going to happen for anything less than a full-fledged sequel, which Rebellion isn't.

I second that, Sinperium.

Love the new youtube tag!

Well I'm pretty sure if there is enough people wanting it, the dev would listen...but it seems people here feel like this game is a fairy tale... Its 2011, having dx11 and a better engine isn't a dream... I don't see why a problem with the function of the game shouldn't get fixed. Sins was meant to have 5v5, now I don't have a SB processor, but it even lags on my i7 because of poor optimization.

Making a game is business and from what I see of the responses, it really isn't going to happen because the devs have no incentives at all to do it when its a forgone conclusion by their customers anyways.

There's a new X-Wing game?!?!  

Except the game was made back in 08 by an indie (poorly funded) company.
They did great with what resources they had.

No its not. What it is is a lot of work for a game that is a bit old. More work than is reasonable.

I am certainly wrong but i remember that sins have take 1 year for be done, with a 1 million $ budget... so, it will make the start in 2007...

Dx11 wasn't my main point, so I concede that it isn't needed, its just a nice feature.

However a improved engine is needed. The current game is barley playable due to its threading limitations. Given the scale, something should be improved engine wise

I guess you haven't heard that there will not be a "Sins 2?" Even if there is, I'm not getting my hopes up. Stardock won't put forth the effort. Plain and simple. End of discussion.

I'll see if I can find it for you. It's not official, though. It's just one Stardock guy saying Rebellion would be the last Sins game.

Ironclad has been pretty busy with their not-Sins project.

The closest I have ever heard is that they also like the idea but they feel that because of the way Sins was built it wouldn't work very well. So they just refuse.
