I saw this game at Walmart last night and everything I read on the box sounded exactly like GC2. The graphics looked better, but aside from graphics how is the gameplay of SoSE different?
sins is real time. more tactical focus. less concern with ship design and more focus on stream lined game play through out.
Does the single player game have replay value?
Btw, I notice your avatar is from Ender's Game cover art; one of my favorite books.
the majority of the games i play are single player. note there is not a campaign but it still has high reply value. you should give the game a shot. the demo is available on impulse. i havent got into diplomacy much yet, but entrenchment is great and the original version is great. lan games are a blast too.
note the the title is Sins of a Solar Empire.
Here is a link to the base game. You can get the demo here. If you are looking to buy, i suggest Trinity since it has all of the expansions...and of course buying direct from Impulse!

the expansions offer tons of new features. I rarely play the original game now. If you get tired of the game, there is a vibrant mod community as well. I know of StarTrek, Galactica, and other mods that are working for total conversion. there are others that simply enhance game play and graphics.
Thanks for the great info!
