I use a 27" monitor that runs at 2560x1440 resolution. Today I tried to play Sins of a Solar Empire (the original) and found it unplayable on my screen. At native resolution the UI (user interface) elements are so small that I end up getting epic eye strain, especially when looking at the list of ships down the left of the screen. If I try running at a lower resolution and have my monitor scale then I get a blurry UI and the eye strain is no better. I spent a few hours looking online to see if I could find a UI mod that would fix the issue, but I did not find anything.
Then, I realized that Rebellion is out and on sale right now at Steam, perhaps I could pick it up and the issue would be fixed in the new game. To my dismay it appears that it has not. I'm really itching to play this game, but without a higher resolution interface it's just not possible. It seems backwards that by upgrading to an awesome high res monitor I ended up unable to play Sins. With more and more users adopting high res monitors this will only become a bigger issue going forward. Would you please consider updating the game with a larger high resolution UI option? I won't be able to buy Rebellion if this isn't present, and I'd really like to buy Rebellion.
Here's how Sins looks on my screen:
