RTS vs 4X Poll

RTS vs 4X Poll

Nice question on the main page pool. I definatly voted for 4x and invite people to go vote, whatever your opinion is. I'm just curious about the results with many votes and how the results will change the game, if it will.

Voted for 4X. But I'm a hardcore micronaut and I live for very long, slow moving methodical sophisticated simulations with surgical attack precision involving multiple platforms complimented with a supremely robust diplomatic and highly dynamic subterfuge systems topped off with a rather complex and refined tech tree and advanced economic model sporting a deft touch of randomness and galactic scale uncertainty with multitudes of variables.


What a brilliant description of what I like. Will we be satisfied one day?

Basically a space empire simulation, eh?

Well, I would love that. :)

I dont know, maybe one day. I was kind of expecting the next GC to head in that direction prior to my involvement with Sins. So we shall see my friend and thanks for the comment.

I don't quite see the point in doing a poll in which the outcome is pretty obvious. A RTS/4x game where in the beta4, the 4x component is almost not there. It is not there, because the developers left it out of the beta as mention in one of the responses to a Game Review by a season gamer...MakWu. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/?forumid=440&aid=169463

I guess the poll is for confirmation issues?

I've only been playing this the last couple of nights, and I certainly get nothing more than a slower paced RTS feel to it. It doesn't seem like I'm managing an empire at all, just finding planets and building labs around them, then building ships to deal with military threats. I've not fully explored the full tech trees, and haven't played on any real large maps, so my opinion or perspective may be a bit skewed...

So I voted for more 4X functionality. I've got other RTS games I can play for thet RTS quick fix.

I also find it odd that there's so much that's been deliberately left out of the game during the betas, to be added before the release... Don't those things that are being added need to be beta tested? The single player campaign, the new AI (which we were told the current AI is nothing more than a placeholder), the 4X stuff that we've yet to see... Don't these all need to be beta tested as well?
