Hey

The game is well made, many units, buildings and planets etc....

But, like others have pointed out, the games starts to lag very early.

The ships are really really really really really small....as a consequence space combat sucks a bit. Laser beams seem bigger than Capital ships... :s
You can't see a thing and thus enjoy the game.

Apart from that the game is good.

I have to give it a seven. While the mod most certainly looks nice, it's scale, both visually and gameplay-wise, doesn't work well in Sins. All costs have been increased and so has resource collection, but they feel harder to control as a result. As for the appearance, all the systems appear to have been scaled up in size and the ships scaled down. I would have preferred the game to have more of a vanilla Sins feel than it has now because it makes you feel more involved when you can see your ships…
