PCGamesN - The best Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion mods

from Stardock.net Forums

From the PCGamesN article:
This iconic RTS/4X game has some really cool mods that you should check out, from Star Wars to Star Trek and more.

Sins of a Solar Empire was a great entry strategy game for its time. Originally released in 2008, it combined the best of RTS games and 4X games to create a wonderfully ruthless space-based strategy experience where you had fleets of capital and sub-capital ships dancing around from system to system as you fought for dominance over randomised maps.

It was a flawed experience, but one the team at Ironclad Games attempted to iterate on through several expansions, such as Trinity, and then the ‘definitive’ edition of the game with 2012’s Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. About the only true ‘sin’ of SOASE is that it never got a proper sequel, even after all this time. We’re not sure what happened with the developers (who still seemed to be patching the game and releasing DLC), but at one point they got sued by Rebellion so, it’s good that they’re hanging in there at least.

One reason for the game’s continued popularity is it’s dedicated and competent mods community. There are some excellent mods for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, many of which have been ported to and from other games. Let’s take a look at some of our favourite picks.

Hi, I remember this game. RTS / 4X was the first online strategy game. It was something unusual, and I didn't quite understand what had to be done. Now this game seems too easy, but I still have a pleasant impression of this game. 17 years have passed, and everyone can notice how much the genre of online strategy has changed and how its popularity among players has grown. One of the most important games for me was League of Legends. I still play this game. I try to get better every time and play with stronger players. To do this, I bought a league of legends account with a high rating to participate in exciting games and thus become better. I think this is the primary goal of games in this genre.
