Good stuff to be sure! The better Sins is, the more the chance of IC getting a license to make a Star Trek, Babylon 5, BattleStar Galactica and Star Wars editions of it.

Don't forget Stargate

Sorry, but no. Hell no.

I have yet to play a good proprietary RTS from any of the major sci-fi series. No, tolerable doesn't count, STA and SWR were tolerable, not good. The release of the first good one is a mythical event that will never happen.

They should remain in the care of modders that don't give a shit what George Fucking Lucas wants Han Solo to do. Skipping the media titans and their beaurocracy is apparently the only way they ever come about.

@Danw - Sorry. When it comes to big fleet stuff SG does not usually come to mind. I'm a big fan of the series however especially with SGA

@Psy - I feel your pain - really. But I think IC would do a good job despite the studio poison since it is fleet and not character based.

I have faith in Lucas being able to fuck the hell out of it regardless...
