The Last Stand is an addon project for the Sins of a Solar Empire, aiming to provide additional and original content, depth and challenge to the game, including three new races, new gameplay elements and tactical gadgets such as mines, interdiction abilities, deployable starbases, new ship classes and more.
This mod enables fighter physics and behavior for larger ships, enabling ships handling characteristics to come into play beside their defense/attack values. Tactics such as tactical retreat, regrouping, fire groups, battle formations etc. now have a meaning as you want to prepare your fleet for the upcoming chaos of battle which quickly rages out of control. Superior numbers no longer guarantee victory as the large random factor of ships dogfighting comes into play. Ship roles have been further separated, with attack classes now playing the pivotal role in any fleet composition and support and fire support classes taking the back seat, as they should. *NOTE* - Entrenchment 1.02 required!

is it possible to make a version of this for SoaSE without entrenchment?
Unfortunately no, not unless Ironclad modifies the original SoaSE to include code support for fighter physics. Rumor has it they plan to do so,but I can't say anything for sure.
Does this mod have a noticeable performance hit?
No. At least it does not on my machine, and I haven't heard many (actually, any) complaints so far in that regard. Keep in mind that if you have an older machine or hardware specs which are "just right" for SoaSE, you may experience a framerate drop since there *is* more stuff being rendered on screen.
Best way is to check it out yourself - its a small download so you got nothing to lose. ;)
I love the look of this from the video you posted, but unfortinatly I don't have Entrenched.
Is it worth buying?
Entrenched is definitely worth buying, especially at only $10. It really changes how the game works in unexpected ways.
is entrechment an expantion pack?
Entrenchment is an expansion pack for Sins of a Solar Empire.
can you make a version for entrenchment 1.03?
I second this
Work is in progress regarding that, sit tight, should be up by the end of the week.
What about entrenchment 1.04 (or whichever is the current version?)
This is looking really good; by far the best mod for this game.
what version of entrenchment does this need? it won't work on mine
i just downloaded this and i was wondering if it could be run on entrenchment v1.41
