Welcome to the 7 DEADLY SINS mod, as featured in PC GAMER by DANMAN .
Welcome to 7 Deadly Sins 2.5 FINAL for the latest version of Sins Entrenchment 1.053.7DS can only be played at HIGH maximum settings. DO NOT USE VERY HIGH settings. This will cause a minidump. Also, there is an issue with Win7 64 bit. You will get crashes, load errors, or the game will not even play, with or without warning. Just keep reloading the game and trying until you actually get into the game and play. This is a Windows problem, not a problem with Sins or 7DS.
7 Deadly Sins is:
The ultimate combo mod, the "unoffical" expansion of Sins of a Solar Empire, or so it has been dubbed by the mod community.The work of many individual modders working together under my leadership (DANMAN3712).Nearly 4 years old and downloaded in various forms over 100k times worldwide and in 5 languages.
Together, we form the 7DS Mod Team and the backbone of DANMAN GAMES www.danmangames.com
7 Deadly Sins is the combination of original 7DS Team content and other mods including:

12 Playable Races with their own traits that make them more unique, from being a total offensive race, to a highly researching race. Each race now has its own unique tactics of gameplay.
Trader Emergency Coalition- solely based on trade and swarming, with little military might Corpo-Nations that have rebelled against the Trade Order. Their military might stripped, they have turned to allying themselves with various factions and hiring mercs for protection. TEC has new Battlecruisers, mercenary contracts, and EMP shells that bypass shields to a small degree.Trade Coalition Armada- the military arm of the Trade Order Once the development arm of the Trade Order, they are now the last hope for the Trade Order and humanity. Their ships are bricks with extreme range railguns.
TCA has state of the art weapons on traditional capitalships plus the Dresden and Athena Dreadnought and Beta Kol Titan.The Orion Unity- modified Orion and Advent Combine Some Orion split with the Atlantian-Orion Combine to guide the Advent towards their ultimate evolutionary stage. TOU ships are stronger, faster and deadlier; They can even travel between worlds using the Phase Stabilizer technology of the Tempest Titan. Ship research boosts weapon performance.
DARK FLEET- modified Vasari The Dark Fleet is all that remains of the Vasari. Where the weak Exodus ran often and fought rarely, the Dark Fleet seeks total dominion through force of arms. Their 5 Titan ships roam looking for prey. Play style is familiar with greater armor, firepower and destructive potential.
Imperial Armada- from Star Wars Guided by a clone of General Thrawn, the wasteland armadas of the Imperial Armada can employ powerful Force Alchemical Technology and even unleash the power of the Executor Super Star Destroyer. Can unlock Jedi and/or Sith Holocrons for performance boost to defenses or offenses respectively -and at the expense of the other.
Rogue Cadre- Playable, custom pirates Rob, pilfer, and steal your way to greatness. The Rogue Cadre is a melting pot of human cultures, Advent refugees and what remains of the Vasari. They have gathered against the TCA, TOU, Atlantian-Orion Combine and TOC to free humanity from tyranny, mysticism and slavery. Posess the Precursor Titan and The Machine -the latter capable of capturing capitalships
Arilou Vanguard- UFO race from the Star Control Games Not being of this dimension, the Arilou do not rely on money and normal means of transport or construction. They simply spawn ships from their "motherships", and travel through Quasispace, which propels them at near instant speeds from planet to planet.
Ur-quan KohrAh Third Doctrinal Fleet- Death race from the Star Control games Totally aggressive, the Korh-Ah are built for battle. They are all offense, and barely any defense. They focus on exterminating every race and every planet they find, and almost every ship is capable of boming from orbit. Their goal is to "cleanse" the universe of all other sentient life, anything that is not an Ur-Quan.
Ur-Quan KzerZa Third Doctrinal Fleet- Slaving race from the Star Control games Unlike their Kor-Ah cousins, the Kzer-Za believe in a diplomatic approach, let alone old habits of enslaving entire races into their Hierarchy. They have grown from their 10,000 year old ways, and are more good than bad now.
Atlantian-Orion Combine- the ultimate race, the seeders of life (the gods) The Combine are part of the original Creator Alliance and responsible for seeding galaxies with genetic data. The Orion are the protectors and defenders until the Atlantian vessels can be fielded. Their greatest strength is their technology, but the loss of labs remove bonuses gained from research.
Taalo Horde- Ancient Rock race, from the Star Control games As if the universe itself groaned for a protector, the Taalo have awakened from a million year slumber only to find old allies -the Atlantians and Arilou stripping the galaxy of semi-sentient flo-metal. They are the ultimate enviromental defender with a naive sense of justice. They have incorporated alien technology into their asteroid bodies with great results.
Triad of Creation- Ancient Destroyers of Worlds, Galactic Enslavers The Triad of Creation, the Dnyarri, Antaran and Lapis, seek to eradicate all life in the universe. They nearly destroyed the Atlantian-Orion Combine in the Ori galaxy by turning their creation -the Vasari- against them. They emerged from within the Rogue Cadre taking a sizeable portion of their population into slavery. Their fleets struck the Taalo and Dark Fleet with vessels designed for infiltration nearly crippling the two factions.

Many Thanks,

7 Deadly Sins, a Danman Games Production/Mod for Sins of a Solar Empire by IronClad/StarDock.
Yeah, all those bugs have been fixed and a patch made (except for the Kol Beta as that is intentional). We're just waiting on the one very busy guy with website access to put it up.
The revised tca beta is awaiting upload to the server. ( Just poked Dan about this )
Hopefully it'll be up in the next few days.
In other news, The TOC, Dark Fleet, and Empire have begun their conversions as well!
Progress continues!
The free link no longer works, since it is a dead link: http://www.gamefront.com/files/22292535/Textures.7z
And for the Premium link to 7ds, I get this message:
You do not have permission for this request /d*****2/phocadownload/userupload/SOASE/SOASE_7DS_2.5_FINAL_RELEASE_OPT.7z
Even if I save-as the link, I only get a 1KB 7zip file.
Thanks in advance,

I think dropbox is a pretty reliable outlet. It seems like there have been accessibility/download problems since day 1.
dropbox does have it's own issues, eg limiting the total download traffic (volume of downloads) and when it exceeds a particular volume then dropbox BLOCKS for three DAYS the ENTIRE account (except for the account holder that is logged in)
harpo
I see, well that's annoying. I guess a torrent is potentially a good option. I'm currently getting "Beta6g" via someone's, but there's only one seeder..so ETA is fluctuating between 4-14 hours.
I was hoping to download the entrenchment version, yet the link at the site doesn't work. Will it be working soon? I won't be getting Rebellion for some time yet (I can't justify a new computer for a game and my laptop is work only.) and was looking forward to the Entrenchment version.
If your PC can run Entrenchment, it can run Rebellion.
This. I can run Rebellion on my awful netbook.
Just curious is the updated beta out or is the server just having hiccups?
The "updated" Beta for the TCA should be up on the server.
However, I think there is some server side issues because even I cannot download the files when testing the downloads. I will let Dan know ASAP so we can get this issue fixed!
My apologies for the late reply. First, I'd like to thank you for the interest in our mod!
Second, I am getting this info to Dan (who runs the server) so we can get the issue resolved ASAP! I will post up here again once the issue is fixed.
Waiting...
Just heard back from Dan, he is looking into the server issue. It should be back up and running soon (ill post up when it is).
Progress continues on the Rebellion conversion, please keep in mind that the only race that was "released" was the TCA. There are about 4 others that are essentially done, but not released. Once all the races are finished, an alpha of the entire mod will be released.
The alpha will have all the "core" 7DS mod containing all planets, planet abilities, stars, maps, etc. The races will be divided into modular race "packs" with each containing 2 races. The intent is to have all the race packs loaded with the core mod at once, but if one does not wish to have all the race packs, they can pick and choose which ones they want. However, to play ANY of the 7DS races after the mod is released, you WILL need to have the core mod active as your "base" mod, then stack the races on top of that. (this does not apply to the TCA beta, it is and will be standalone, but no longer developed is it was intended as a simple preview).
Thanks everyone for patiently waiting, we are still hard at work!
Update on the Server Issue:
According to Dan, the files are present, but a server update had broken some links/modules. We expect to have everything back up and running in the next few days.
Thanks everyone for your patience while we work everything out!
FYI, the server issues are more extensive than initially thought, Dan is still working on getting everything fixed/back up and running right.
On the Conversion progress front: The Dark Fleet, and TOC races join the current crop of "converted races". Still currently in "in-house" Alpha status, the following races are playable:
-TCA
-Atlantians
-TOU
-Dark Fleet
-TOC
The Empire, Arilou, and the two Ur'Quan (Star Control) races are still in progress. Once the remaining races are playable in alpha status, we will release an alpha of the entire mod.
Empire is in a sort of 'pre-alpha' state. It loads up but not everything works yet. Lots of fixing to do!
Just a heads up everyone, I am working on our website issues. It has taken WEEKS to find out what is going on, but I think I finally nailed it. Will take a few more days to fix, but I think I got it. Basically I need to rebuild it from scratch. There is something in there that is corrupting everything. My server did an automatic "security" updated, and it messed it all up. Once I am done compiling everything, we should be back in business.
ALSO - I am working on the "base mod" while everyone else is working on each race. I am basically making a new Solar Sins standalone mod, which "race packs" can then be applied to to make 7DS fully customizable. I still have a bit to go, but making progress every day.
I'll update you all when the website is done.
Keep up the great work. Eagerly awaiting the final product!
Hey All,
WEBSITE IS FIXED! Downloads are fully operational again. Please let me know if you have any problems.
Awesome work Danman!
Thank you guys so much!
After playing again the nova cannon still crashes when fired T_T
Is that the full release or the TCA Beta for Rebellion?
