Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion Advice

[solops]

I cant think of a game that does space battles as well as Sins!

I prefer Sword of the Stars 1 tac battles.

I prefered the ones from Conquest: frontier wars...

All good games.

Sins is a RTS game, not a 4x.  It doesn't matter what Stardock and Ironclad call it. 

I'm not saying it's a bad game, just that it's mislabeled.

Homeworld. Vastly superior. Still the one king to rule them all.

Polaris Sector and Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock are also better than Sins.

Hi Guys

As a die hard turn based strategy guy who is of an age to avoid click fests like the plague, am I right to avoid picking up Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion which is on a big discount on Humble Bundle for the next few hours ?

It seems to have truly great reviews but the idea of controlling huge fleets as well as every planet in a far flung Empire all in real time does give me some pre traumatic stress  :)

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

Funny you brought this up, I noticed this was in my Steam library and honestly have no clue how it got there lol

Have been going through all the tutorials for a couple nights and will start a real game soon. Also as Jarhead0331 mentioned there are a ton of great mods out there including the Star Wars/Star Trek universe. I installed this graphics mod and it made the graphics better, and installing a mod is super simple. Any questions please ask.

Thanks for that.

I am surprisingly having a lot of fun (not always successfully!) with it. Not a clickfest but definitely not as involved on the planetary management side as I am used to . A real time wargame in space in the main.
