Background:
Sins of a Solar Empire is a space based RTS/4X hybrid game that is being developed for Windows XP and Windows Vista. The player takes command of one of the three races that are to be in the game upon completion and attempt to complete their goals of universal conquest through diplomacy, economic skill, cultural influence, and of course, military power.

Gameplay:
An RTS/4X cross over based in space. The player is attempting to conquer the universe via diplomacy, economic skill, cultural influence, and military might. Players can play as three different races. A player gets around from planet to planet via being in a planet's gravity well and then jumping to hyperspace. Also a player can research military and civilian technologies to increase military might and the economy. A player is also able to convert planets through culture. Generally the end all objective in each game is to conquer the galaxy (map).
Features:
3D system to explore. Customizable units to use. The ability to zoom far out and see the entire galaxy, or to zoom far in and observe the details on the wing of a frigate. The ability to have massively huge fleets engage and still be able to have the game run smoothly. Fair few other features too.
