From IGN:
Sins of an 'Expanded' Solar Empire (http://pc.ign.com/articles/906/906498p1.html)
Multiple expansion packs are announced; the first pack is set for late 2008.
August 29, 2008 - Stardock announced today that the award-winning and best-selling PC strategy game, Sins of a Solar Empire (http://pc.ign.com/objects/775/775249.html), will feature several micro-expansions over the next year. The first expansion pack, Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment is currently in development and will be released late 2008 for $9.95 via Stardock's Impulse digital distribution platform (www.impulsedriven.com).
Developed by Ironclad Games, Sins of a Solar Empire is a real-time strategy game that adds an extreme amount of depth normally only seen in turn-based releases. One of the highest ranking real-time strategy games of 2008, the title has sold over half a million copies and won several Editor's Choice awards.
Specifically, Entrenchment promises to bring fans a Starbase defense platform for each race (extremely powerful and armored bases housing a variety of weapons and other upgrades capable of defending an entire planet), turret upgrades for each race to make them more powerful (not only stronger than the current versions, but also upgradable with long-range weapons), mine fields and a Subspace Inhibitor platform that will slow enemy ships within its range.
Sounds good! I love the minefields! Reminds me of the good ol' days of Stars!
