Hello. I'm a big RTS gamer that's becoming a bit tired of the standards of the genre of late, a bit overloaded on the "formula" and such. So, being a fan of anything dealing with the great beyond that is space, I was naturally interested in this game. However, I've read many things relating it to GalCiv II, a game which I never could quite break into. I was wondering if my lack of enthusiasm for that game would carry over to this one, and perhaps prevent me from enjoying it? In particular, I find GalCiv II a bit too slow for its own good, compared to the Civilization games, my point of reference for TBS's. And I prefer space lanes to a flat plane of space, which Sins seems to solves.

Any input would be great.
