Star Trek Armada III mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion

[wilds]

I know this is an enthusiast forum with a preference for bleeding-edge technology; but this is the game thats been taking up a lot of my free time.

I got kind of bored with vanilla Sins of a Solar Empire awhile back, but being a mild fan of Star Trek and a huge RTS gamer, this mod is easily on my list of favorites.

The game is on sale on Steam! (Until January 2nd)

Not really looking for any people to play with, as the online community is very active with this mod! But if there are any Trekkies itching to see their favorite ships in action, I can easily recommend this game.

ModDB also hosts several great mods for Sins, but STA3 takes the cake IMO.

Sins does have some performance issues. It needs the Large Address Awareness patch for it to use more than 2gb of RAM (no more crashing), and needs all the single-threaded performance you can throw at it.

No love for Sacrifice of Angels 2?

Highly recommend Sins. This game is so awesome.

I have tried Armada 3, and it does add a LOT to the game. It is a near total-conversion, in a good way.

I prefer the normal Sins, but you really can't lose with Armada 3 either.

For Star Wars fans try Star Wars interregnum and for vanilla sins fans check out Crazy mod.

I put Star Trek Armada 3 in the title because the new expansion was recently released.

I do like Sacrifice of Angels 2, but STA 3 is a much more complete package.

It's always neat when a mod is so good, it encourages people who do not own the base game to get the base game for the purpose of playing the mod.

The Star Wars Interregnum mod is FANTASTIC. If you are looking for your SW fix, check it out!

Definitely unfinished, but a great start!

Wish more games had this element!

The STA3 modders have updated to their final version of the mod this week, "The Final Frontier".

This is has been an awesome mod for Sins, definately my favorite.

"The Final Frontier is the culmination of six years of Star Trek Armada 3. The brainchild of our own mad scientist, scholar and philosopher Ambarenya, The Final Frontier is perhaps the most ambitious mod ever developed for Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion. Since its inception it has pushed the Sins engine to its very limits and has provided us and the game with all kinds of new challenges. And now it's finished."

I suppose I'd probably play the STA3 mod if I started noticing people playing it in team PvP.
