This is a deep, engrossing real-time strategy war game with empire expansion akin to classics of the 4X strategy genre, such as Civilization or Master of Orion. It is truly a perfect blend of the best elements from real-time and turn-based strategy. The game maintains the fierce, cutthroat combat seen in the best of today's RTS titles, while simultaneously housing incredibly in-depth military and civilian expansion, infrastructure and research. The battlefields are vast and expansive with galaxies ranging from as few as twelve planets to as many as a thousand. With three races to choose from, over fifteen different ships per race and dozens upon dozens of technology upgrades unique to each race, it will be a long time before you run out of new things to discover. Take the game online and duke it out against up to nine other human players in a galactic expansion space race for the ages!

Ten millennia have passed since you and the few survivors of the once mighty Vasari Empire fled from an unknown threat that all but exterminated your kind. You now find yourself at the fringe of the galaxy in a sector occupied by a pathetically primitive species - one obsessed with trade and lacking any central organization or military technology. Calling themselves the Trader Emergency Coalition, they would have been ideal slaves in the glorious days of the past, but time is of the essence. Use your mastery of phase-space manipulation, gravity and nanotechnology to quickly eliminate any local resistance and acquire the necessary resources to fuel the next segment of your continuing exodus.

Sins of A Solar Empire - Mini Dumps - S. Paczer -
This is a good space game to play if it's just you and the computer. If you want to LAN with other people it has alot of "Mini Dump" issues. There are no fixes for the "Mini Dumps", and the company doesn't really want to fix it! A "Mini Dump" is a game crash! The game stops and shuts down...

Stardock will make you buy a new copy to get any upgrades - Edward B. Goehring - West Coast USA
Unless you want to play this games without any of the official upgrades, don't bother buying a used copy. Stardock will make you buy a new copy to get any upgrades -- and they'll be pretty arrogant about it too, in my experience :(
