Sins of a Solar Empire

[Reise]

I have it and I love it. Probably one of the best RTS games I've ever played.

You get a real sense of conquest when you're fighting an enemy, and the capital ships can really turn the tide of a fight. Often once things get rolling you'll end up attacking or defending with multiple capital ships, frigates, and support cruisers, and finally fighters and bombers. Very epic scale. Battles can last a long time when many capital ships are involved since they have abilities specific to their class.

The only downside is while I was playing online with a friend our empires were stretching across multiple systems and the game kept locking up and crashing after a while. It only happened in multiplayer though since the game runs flawlessly in SP. The problems were probably due to the fact that we both had capped fleets and we were having battles across multiple planets and against two enemies. I can see how it could be a processing nightmare when you factor in trade ships, scouts, battles, individual planet management, fleet management, etc. I'm sure it would run fine on a true LAN setup.
