First off I would like to say that this mod excellent and well done for simple reasons: 1)Creativity that keeps its followers asking for more. 2) A long standing and dedication to keeping it "new" and up to date. 3) Their consideration for their followers and their choice of Sins. The mod Maelstrom is designed very nicely and runs smoothly. The creators of this mod were very detail oriented by creating their own teed bit of lore from the existing Sins and by making numerous and various stars, planets, ships, and structures for the mod. Each though has similar inspirations from sci-fi shows and stories that we know and love such as Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, and A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, just to name a few. Even though in the beginning they used exact ships to start off, they have gone to great lengths to create unique designs of their own as time passed. Each time though when a change is made they create beautiful models making sure to enhance the visual aspects that is the current focus phenomenal. As item comes along it is tested and given characteristics to make it useful and interesting in its own little ways. When that is done they do their best to play test and weed out the bugs right away it seems. Even though few updates happen for Sins there is something here say every few weeks so something can be laid, hatched and grow into a fantastic concept that eventually reaches game play for all. As most groups want to do is have everything ready, these guys want it all ready upon release so when you get it. You have it all. At least for the time being. It helps that the Moddb community is very supporting and provides feedback a lot. These guys are very nice for keeping it up to date for each part of Sins and for making this mod. I appreciate all of the people who their time into making such outstanding mods for all such as Maelstrom and I thank God that that they are here because they help make gaming more fun. Best wishes and enjoy.

This review may contain spoilers

The main game in which anyone can join though only up to eight players only as it is being developed in certain areas. The server can be hosted by individuals if one knows how to do it properly in which case the server the player wishes to connect the IP address is recorded and then the player is connected. The server lags sometimes even when looking around but it eventually catches up. Maybe though the poly count in the models or in the environment needs to be reduced to reduce the lag? The environment is mostly indestructible so you can have cover of sorts. The trees can be blown up and will act as a roadblock if you charge into it after you shoot it. The tank model differences can be seen when looking from another person’s perspective. You cannot see yourself except for the main body of the tank; which is mostly the front and back, along with the top of the tank’s sides. No turret but the player has in a way a HUD as if you were looking into a scope on a rifle making it easier to aim. However this scope does not allow the user to zoom. The user uses W, A, S, and D or the arrows as the main movement keys with the mouse as your reticle and line of sight with 360 degree view. The tank only has so many parts which can be upgraded for improved abilities on your tank: the weapon for increased firepower, the engine for increased speed and, the armor for increased health. There are also four categories in which the user can pick for the tank: the primary weapon, the secondary weapon, a special attack and, a self-protection ability which varies based on what the user picks. The user only has three choices in these four main categories which change the look of the user’s tank but they will only see the differences in the screen in which the four characteristics are chosen and after the match if they are near the winner where it goes to a bird’s eye view.
