Sins of a Galactic Empire

Mod review

Honestly, in some ways it feels like they did too little, and other ways too much. The mod is woefully incomplete, with many ships having filler abilities that can't be used or leveled up, and a UI that is worked over in a minimal way, reusing many stock Sins icons even for ship abilities. Many things, starbases especially, are also way too small and nearly impossible to find in a system.

At the same time, they changed how many core mechanics worked, such as now you can spam multiple Broadcast Relays within a system and get massive culture spread, and the AI takes full advantage of this cheese. You also get a basically-unlimited supply of resources, such that, past the very early game, you are just swimming in supplies and can spam as many ships as you want. Honestly, the mod just lacks in the fun factor. After playing through just one skirmish, I deleted it.
