What kind of game type?

from Stardock Forums

I was wondering, as RTS strategy game goes (especially if you plan multiplayer action), you have to close a game within 3-4 hours (or less. 4 hours being real huge games). What do you expect to be the lenght of a multiplayer game?

In the solo-mode, do you plan a huge campaign on the same map?
Do you plan to include "sandbox" battles, à la GalCiv2, where I begin with 1 planet, and have to conquer the whole universe?
Or will Sins of a Solar Empire will be more like a StarCraft-like kind of game, with several separate engagements?

Well to begin with galactic civilizations is a turn based game. Sins of a solar empire is a real time strategy game. Yes you start out with only one planet in each game. In galactic civilizations. There are a lot of uninhabitated planets. In sins all planets are inhabited by someone. In sins you can only travel through phase lanes. In galactic you can custom make ships and factions. In sins you can choose abilities for capital ships. In galactic you can build up planets. In sins everything takes place in orbit.
