I've heard great things about the origin Sins of a Solar Empire, and upon hearing about the stand-alone expansion, I was intrigued. I may end up picking this up sometime in the future (maybe on a sale or something). I enjoy RTS games, but I'm very much a casual RTS player, and honestly the massive scope of Sins has made me hesitate purchasing it in the past. It's good to hear that the expansion is solid, as expected. But what timing, huh? Coming out so close to the Civ 5 expansion. I know that Sins has a faithful community, so I hope Rebellion's sales don't suffer due to the timing!

I feel the same way, I wonder how long it would take my wife and I to learn to coop play this game. We play Civ Revolution all the time and are looking for a change of pace.

The game is like nothing else out there, and since it is such a slower paced game it almost feels turn based. However, you always have to be on top of things so the other players don't get too far ahead of you.
The pace of the game changes from relaxing which you are preparing for a big push, and crescendos to huge epic battles. A full game will have several of these, with other small skirmishes littered in between. I don't play Sins all that often, because of the time commitment but when I do it is one of the most rewarding experiences I have.
