Sins of a Solar Empire®: Rebellion gets its first DLC pack!

from JoeUser Forums

rebellion-logo_fullThe popular PC space strategy game, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion from Ironclad Games and Stardock Entertainment, will be getting its first downloadable content on June 5th. "Forbidden Worlds" adds new planet types, planet specialization, technologies, planetary bonuses and additional Steam achievements all for $4.99.

The war between the loyalists and the rebels within the TEC, Advent and Vasari continues within the depths of Trader Space. Yet, this sector of the galaxy has far more worlds and history than any of the factions are aware. The need to survive forces each to expand into the unknown, discovering worlds of hazard, wealth, risk, and mystery. Most ominously, the Trader factions have been loathe to expand to these worlds due to the dark myths that surround them.

Feature List:

  • Four new planet types to colonize and exploit (Barren, Ferrus, Greenhouse, Oceanic), each created with beautiful high-res textures.
  • New Planet Specialization System: Dedicate your worlds to either social or industrial output. Devoting your planet to social improvements will increase its population and culture, at the cost of trade income and ship production. Choosing an industrial path will limit your growth and culture, but make your planet a trading and ship building powerhouse.
  • 15 new research subjects allow the races to conquer and expand onto the forbidden worlds.
  • Discover 40 new planet bonuses during your exploration of the galaxy, unlocking the dark past of the Sins’ universe.
  • Unlock five new Steam Achievements and display your mastery of forbidden space!

The Forbidden Worlds DLC will be available direct, as well as on Steam, GameStop, GamersGate and GameFly.

If they'd make trigger support for Galaxy Forge sufficiently functional, we could write our own campaigns.

This was a good learning experience.  I stayed up till midnight (Eastern Standard Time) thinking it would just magically appear on your site or Steam.  I'll be at work when it drops then; thus delaying my gratification.  

Oh Stardock you have taught me so many of life's important lessons.  

backs out of the room slowly...*_* *_*

I give thanks to my mother in law, who died recently so that I may be on funeral leave when you guys release the DLC. Oh and the money she left to my wife that I may use as well. :P

I'm on a +1 timezone so if I've not counted wrong it'll be at 17:00 here.

But Timezones ain't my forte and Steam usually release new stuff at 19:00 here so it's very possible I am wrong. :)

Read it wrong. Thought Yarlen said 1 PM Pacific Time. Its 1 PM Eastern Time. So 2 hours left.

The new planet types I got straight from NASA's theorized planet types, so they're not 'uncommon.'  

Not to mention, "Waterworld".

v1.50 is now released. DLC store items should be going up soon on our store (sometime in the near future on Steam).

Is there a final changelog? Or are you working on it now?

EDIT: Never mind, I think my browser is being...weird, lol

Steam just updated it for me, anxiously awaiting the DLC going up now.
