Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion vs Endless Space
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone has tried both and what they think. I've always liked the space opera theme and especially the old wingcommander series. I know one of these games is a true 4X (ES) and Sins is a blend of RTS/4X. I could never get into X2/X3 Universe (too complicated) and my last foray into 4X was... well probably never, since most of my time in the 90's & 00's was spent in space and flight sims with the occasional FPS and RTS. So the question is really... would Endless Space turn based game be a softer entry into the 4X world or the automation and RTS of Sins be a better first plunge? Keeping in mind I am already short on time, I dont want a huge complicated learning curve but I figure Im probably missing out on something fun and different by not giving these types of games a go?!?!? Your thoughts?

Sins is like a Warcraft3: if I remember well number beats quality of the ships. You spend time building corvettes and fighters. Don't know if the latest version is different. The first is more interesting IMO, just only for the fact that you can design your own spaceships. I don't think both have a complicated learning curve: AI War: Fleet Command is something you have to avoid because of that.

Don't forget swords of the stars 2, it's basically in between the two I.e. turn based star map but design your own ships and rt battles

You know, by experience I'll not buying unfinished games at full price anymore.
