Sins Of A Solar Empire Mass Effect Mod
Posted on December 17, 2014, 6 Total Conversion Mods for Sins of a Solar EmpireSins of a Solar Empire is one of the most popular 4x RTS titles made. What it lacks in any sort of story or plot, it more than makes up for in just how moddable the game is to a persons preference. Fans of RTS games will almost certainly enjoy just how simple the gameplay is, but also how complex it’s capable of becoming. Stardock did one great thing with the title by allowing an extremely powerful toolkit that, not only allows you to build new custom maps, but change virtually everything in the games’ ruleset which gave its community to come up with some awesome looking mods.Here’s six total conversion mods that change the gameplay into one that resembles a different, but popular science fiction franchise.1.You can’t consider yourself a video gamer and Star Trek fans and not know about Star Trek Armada. The franchise, while having an extremely rocky start with the first game, was still one of the most popular RTS games on the market in the early 2000′s. Activision made a sequel, but never a third installment to the franchise. Thankfully, a group of folks decided that Sins of a Solar Empire’s engine would be perfect for an unofficial 3rd game to the Armada series.
It features custom designed ships and all too familiar factions. Star Trek fans looking for a new RTS game to command a fleet in should absolutely take a look at this mod. The work was definitely put into this one.2.Dawn of the Reapers is a Mass Effect universe inspired total conversion mod. When you were playing Mass Effect, haven’t you wondered what it would be like to be more involved in that huge fleet battle between the Reaper ship and the Council’s fleet? Well, now you can. While the mod is still considered in development, you can download it from its web-page and check it out for yourself. If you’re a fan of the Mass Effect franchise, this mod will certainly interest you.3.Star Wars is the other big franchise that you will always see a mod made from in a science fiction game.
The storyline is as follows, “The sudden arrival of armadas with trillions of refugees and thousands of warships between the events of Episodes 5 & 6 forever alters the Star Wars universe and plunges the galaxy into an unprecedented period of chaos and violence. Begun, a new conflict has.” So far, 2 of the 4 factions have been released, the Galactic Empire and Imperial Warlords with the Rebel Alliance and New Republic still under construction. Star Wars fans, keep an eye on this one.4.Bungie/343 Industries may seem to hate the PC platform for the Halo series, but there are still fans that wish they didn’t.
Sins of the Prophets creates an unofficial RTS game to the Halo franchise. It’s still in an Alpha state, and its design is subject to change before its final release, but right now it has an active and dedicated team dedicated to making a quality game that Halo fans will enjoy (a heck of a lot more than the Master Chief Collection did, apparently).5.The Stargate show created a lot of hardcore fans to the series. It would be surprising if a Stargate mod wasn’t created for Sins of a Solar Empire. With custom ships and races that Stargate fans will surely recognize, Stargate Invasion does a service to those who wish there were more games based on this Sci-Fi(SyFy is a stupid name) channel series. Stargate fans, check this mod out.6.Homeworld is considered by many to be the origin for 4x based RTS titles.
Any mod that’s based on this game, is going to be held to a higher standard because of this. Homeworld itself wasn’t any better in terms of storyline or plot than Sins of a Solar Empire was, but the ability to fly in any direction, at the time, was considered revolutionary. The Homeworld Returns is still quite a bit in development, but so far it’s similarity to the original game is certainly there.
As long as we show the author we want him to not only finish the mod, but do so with the quality level we expect, the end result we receive should be one amazing mod.Do you know of a mod for Sins of a Solar Empire you feel should be played? Let us know in the comments!
