Sins of a Solar Empire is often described as a 4XRTS game, or a game that tried to merge the action and tactics packed gameplay of a Real time strategy game with the deep, complex, empire wide strategy of a 4X turn based game. It's up to debate whether Sins succeeded in this goal, but I think all can agree that of the 4Xs of "explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate", Sins is much more focused on the exterminate than on the others. This mod seeks to give more depth to the other 3Xs of the game by adding additional game elements or refining the existing ones to reward players who give more strategic thought to the non-combat side of the game. Combat will still be the center point of the game, but players will find that the non-combat options available will be much more rewarding. Spying, exploring, sabotage, diplomacy, culture, and economic development have all been added or changed in innovative new ways. Regardless of what you think Sins is, this is the 4XRTS it should have been.

IF i have a saved filed with the previous version would it still load or nah?
If its 1.83, maybe. Probably not if it was on Sins 1.82. You can downgrade back to 1.82 in steam though if needed.
Are the minimods compatible with this version?
A new minimod release is being worked on right now.
Nice! Can't wait to try this asap!
Yes! The day has finally arrived! Can't wait for them minimods!
Well that didn't last long. Day after I download 1.81 of E4X, the game updates to 1.85 and adds new DLC.
I'm guessing it's gonna be a while before the mod can be shuffled around to include the new patch and DLC, right? Especially since you're working on the minimods.
Perhaps, but you can go back to Sins 1.84 using the steam properties -> betas tab of Rebellion to continue playing E4X 1.81. :-)
But that's taking a step backwards....
Guess just have to go without,
