Sins of a Solar Planetary Bombardment

Wow, even simple things make great videos in Sins of a Solar Empire. It's just a fun game to watch. It's incredibly busy when you're playing, but if there's a time that you can sit back and watch the show, it's very rewarding.

Like the below video. I caught the tail end of the bombardment of an opposing faction's home world. The four Krosov frigates and the single Marza Dreadnaught make short work of even this fortified target.

I've gotten a chance to play a couple game with locked teams, and it really changes the game. When you have a team mate from the outset, you have a trading partner and someone who can watch your back. From at least one direction you don't have to worry about getting attacked, and even though you may let them down, they'll never turn on you.

This video is from a 2v2v2 match on a map called Gateway, and it's a pretty interesting map. The main battle centers around a single start with many planets, where up to six factions fight for supremacy and control of a single Terran world, also named Gateway. This planet links with the single phase lane to the system's star, which provides a jump point to a second, resource-rich second star system. My teammate and I managed to clear the way, and I'm just setting up shop there in Gateway. Should be some great videos for when the other four cut off and angry groups come my way.

For now, enjoy the explosions.
