replyOkay, and here is why I just couldn't get into Sins. The footage in that trailer just isn't how you play that game. To coordinate your ships in any sort of meaningful way you have to zoom all the way out to the point where your ships are just symbols on a giant map of nodes. It ends up being a game of moving symbols around - where it almost resembles a boardgame or something.
The up-close battles are cool to watch, but you're not really doing anything at that point but watching.-
Go sit in the corner.

Or, here's a novel idea, give your orders, and zoom in to watch the fight. The game doesn't require by-the-second micromanagement.

Agreed. In Supcom, you also had the choice to queue up orders and automate certain elements so that you could focus on your strategy instead of micromanagement.
Both games are great though. Some of my certain PC favorites. -
Exactly. It's really not hard to spin the mouse wheel and zoom all the way in to watch a capital ship explode, then then spin the mouse wheel back out to tell your fleet to hit it's next target.
If you aren't viewing the game from both viewpoints your missing it's brilliance.
