    So the thing about the TEC is that they have insane economic capabilities, so much so that once they get their economy rolling along, they have an absurd ability to just rebuild all their losses in mins.
    What u saw was challenging enough on Normal, but on Hard its absolutely insane. You'll delete a 1000+ supply fleet and then not 10 mins later you'll see another 1000+ supply fleet coming back at u. And not a shitty one too, but a well rounded one with combat, assault and support ships aplenty.
    Absolutely terrifying.

    I remember in the first SOSE you can move your capital planet to a new location additional the advent where never a race that excellent in offensive warfare i belive their merit was in mass spread in culture and defensive warfare with the orbital hangars and powerful orbital defensive lasers forcing the other factions to lose their frontier planets and dealing massive loses in their home terf and in my opinion are best used for the long game the TEC however are brilliant in offensive warfare and their support ships where OP i see most likely that was carried on in SOSE 2 as well whats ridiculous is that some support ships from TEC abilities can stack in this second game if i saw correctly.

      As I understand it the ability to move your capital is disabled when the "Destroy home planet" victory condition is enabled. Only way around this is the Vasari who can make a Cap-ship/Titan their home planet through a tech.

    It took me a while to realize what was going on with your opponent's ships' armour bars going _up_ while under fire.
    It's a specific ship that the opposing AI put into their fleet.
    The TEC has a specific class of Cruiser that works as a healer.
    There must have been a bunch of them in the TEC fleets where you saw that happening.

    I used to play the original Sins of a Solar Empire. Cool, bringing back memories, but the game looks very samey to the original. You did briefly touch on the hidden strength of the Unity, which is being able to capture intact enemy frigates and exceed your fleet cap (and by a lot, if you're clever), making that my favorite faction to play as. In the original game TEC had repair frigates, and a fleet with enough of those would make their capital ships almost impossible to destroy. I'm guessing something like that was going on while you were fighting cyan.

      200hr multiplayer here. A lot of defining yet subtle gameplay improvements: all projectile and dmg are simulated, and missiles are interceptable and blockable. This added a lot of depth to multiplayer. Planet and ship items make a huge difference in strategizing unlike the previous generic upgrades. Orbiting phase lanes disincentivized the previous trench warfare and make run by harassment viable. Even more asymmetric race mechanics

      It retains enough of the essence of the previous game so anyone familiar with Rebellion will feel right at home, but at the same time there's enough changes that you're going to have to adapt to all the new features to get the most out of the game, which is helped along by all the quality-of-life additions that make the game less tedious to play.

    It's not a bad game, but it is pretty boring to me. I remember pirating the first SINS on my first job's computer, they were like 20 .rar files and my internet at home was too slow. I don't really feel the RTS nor the 4X aspects in this game. The RTS part SINS offers is just fleet A vs fleet B, no micro needed, similar to Stellaris where the biggest blob with the best stats wins, it's all about positioning in the right "system" but in a pretty basic manner. As for the 4X aspect it's just advancing and discovering more star-lines along the way (diplomacy and research are gimmicky), spamming a few defenses here and there as in a "tower defense game" coming back and forth throughout the gameplay. It's really a barebones RTS and a barebones 4X... if you like really slow tower defense games you might like it. I think "Dune Spice Wars" is way more a RTS/4X hybrid than SINS, but it's not "in space" (YKWIM).
    I repeat, it's not a bad game but how do I say it? It's not deep enough to justify the slowness. I was expecting to see some changes in this new version, especially regarding the deepness of the RTS aspect, but it seems like it's the same core with only a few additions, being the constantly moving starlines the only significant one. Whoever enjoyed the first one will enjoy this one too.

      To say there no difference is pretty stupid claim when the obvious change to any real fans of sins is that the Kol Battleship is more symmetrical than the original which wasnt. Since its only been 5 years (game timeline lore) I wouldn't expect there to be much change to designs of the original empires, but I'm guessing they will be releasing a 4th new species faction.
      Also they made tons of new changes and added new mechanics to the game, the originals didn't have so just because you were expecting there to be this massive change in art style or ship design, doesn't make what was released bad.
      It' sounds as if you wanted the 343 halo 4 treatment, where the Spartan armor design and style changed and many fans hated it.
      I'm just glad a new sins game is out with far better graphics so we can see better graphic mods in the next 20 or so years.

      whenever you mention a second installment of a series, you expect big changes, new designs, new factions ... the planet rotation is simply a gimmick, which in theory should be fun as it allows some type of space ambush to a less protected planet which in turn cuts off supply line, but unless they give you a decent defense buildings which are able to hold invasion long enough until your fleets gets, it totally pain in the ass and isnt a welcomed feature by many

      I don't support such companies and never will. If you as a company don't show me you worked your ass off to give me a quality sequel then you don't deserve my hard earned money..
      Look at space marine 2 , there is massive difference in graphics, art style, weapons, guns, world.... Now that's a sequel I back it with whole heartedly!
      Another example, AOE2DE was amazing game, despite their sequals brining a massive change, they dropped the ball on their games especially the long awaited AOE4 despite having fresh ideas like having soldiers on the walls, heroes having unique abilities etc, their chosen art style was a massive problem for me, as it targeted the kids in this generation, and removed all the gore from a battle game...
