Island Dog, will this new faction and features be playable in Sandbox games or only in the campaign?

I just started a new sandbox game with the new faction.

It worked- I'm just an idiot and read the game wrong since I haven't played in a few months.  Sorry!

So a simple question. If I start a typical sandbox game will I be able to play with this faction as well as the regular Terrans? ie there's now 12 stock AI factions to use rather than 11 previously?

Yes, you can play as the United Earth in sandbox, and make custom races with it's new Ability. Though it can be a bit confusion if you play against the Terran Alliance.

I'm guessing not, but I definitely support this as an idea.

I had hoped to see a new ship style with earth's earlier models of spaceships, so you can see a difference between them and the current Alliance's ships as I doubt they have looked the same all these years.

I like the idea of a new earth-based faction, and any early version of any faction is welcome (but my above nitpick remains). Also, encountering two earths in a randomized game is an interesting sci-fi theme. Dimensional paradox? Time paradox? Maybe one is actually inhabited by clones, but which one? Did some precursor tech go haywire and do something crazy? Mystery! Intrigue!

Looking forward to this.

 

Get into the Space Taxi, say "Driver! Take me to Earth!"

 

Stupid driver takes me to Earth, not Earth. Idiot.

Awesome DLC - thank you Stardock!

I too agree that at some point down the road there should be a different ship style for the new faction (perhaps Star Trek original series feel).

But ships aside, there should be a new logo right away. Even if the colors were inverted or something. The logo needs to be unique - otherwise it becomes much too confusing.

 

Edit: Silly me... It seems they do have their own logo. BEAUTIFUL!
