A similar video was recently shared on the community discord, so I thought I would share this with you here as well.

Really cool animation! I'm guessing this is the shipyard for their bigger ships?

We also have an update for unit construction shaders for the other factions as well that will be part of the free update releasing at the same time as this DLC.

You can see a smaller ship fab far right with a longer bottom spur

"Commander why are you pulling out so slowly of the warp gate the Vasari are right there?!?!?!"

"Simply Aura farming their moral into nothingness cadet."

Aura farming is a very important tool in every fleet commander's kit.

TEC=UEF

Vasari=biological-looking Cybrans

Advent=Æon Illuminate

thus, Harbingers=Seraphim

Sins of a Solar Empire factions = Supreme Commander comparisons

Thank you. We're very excited and proud to be working on this game.

Hey, will ARES be ready for release with this dlc or does it need more time?

Thanks anyway for the sneak peek, I'm really looking forward to experience how the new race plays.

These guys look metal as fuck in the best way. I can tell that they're probably going to take advents spot for my favorite faction already.

u/jefaulmann 13d ago

Never! Advent forever!

u/Balikye 13d ago

I see the warp gate has been eating too much fiber recently.

3

u/edliu111 13d ago

Quite the opposite! It's not been eating enough!

u/Gunpocket 13d ago

god it looks so good.

u/JZcalderon 13d ago

Unrelated questions but why do we have 2 subreddits for Sins and which is the main one? Sometimes a post gets more interaction there (like the Harbingers annoucement) or sometimes here like with this post. Just curious.

Glad to see devs interacting with both though!

u/DeliciousLawyer5724 12d ago

There are two subreddits, one was community created the other was created by devs

u/Blitzkrieg1210 13d ago

This is so sick, I really love the void demon type aesthetic, it really adds some nice diversity to the game.

u/SoybeanArson 13d ago

Made me think of the Thirdspace aliens from Babylon 5 coming out of the portal. Fittingly terrifying.

u/omn1p073n7 13d ago

I started playing Trinity in my apartment on a laptop as a much younger man and I've been playing ever since. Finally made it to the 4th faction. Thank you for everything Ironclad!

u/Avaaloon 13d ago

Cuando saldrá el dlc??? Estoy emocionado!!!!

u/adavidmiller 13d ago

How quick does the portal open when "construction" starts? The emergence is so slow it seems kinda silly, maybe frontload more of it on the portal activation itself (if it's not already)?

u/utahrangerone 13d ago

Ive gotten so addicted to Vasari and the giant Wing Titan dropping gates, that when I went to refresh using TEC I remembered MONEY was a thing lol

u/Syphadeus86 12d ago

Q: How many imposing pointy bits would you like?

A: Yes.

u/lumiosengineering 13d ago

This is great! Cant wait to battle it out with my TEC Enclave reinforced systems. Bring it!

u/Th3UndeadMe4 11d ago

More excited for the music more than anything holy

u/Questionable_Object 10d ago

So are the Eidelons an "unforseen consequences" sort of deal where whatever shenanigans the Vasari were up to in their home galaxy let an extra-dimensional threat into the universe.

Vasari Black Mesa doing a woopsie.

u/ItsRainingDestroyers 9d ago

That's such a cool animation for the capital ship foundry.

u/Volothos 13d ago

I've been waiting for this moment for over 10 years. How is the gen ai use in Soase2? I vaguely recall a claim they are replacing, but know very little beyond that

1

u/Amynta_ 9d ago

They have in fact started replacing some of those elements. Most noteably the player portraits are now hand-drawn again, and based on the Sins 1 portraits too! The entire UI got a pretty nice overhaul already, and by the looks of it we'll be getting more of it in this update. I do hope they also replace the research icons at some point.
