The first one Forbidden Worlds is worthwhile. I wouldn't get the other two unless they're on sale.

Forbidden Worlds - Adds new colonizeable planet types, planet bonuses, and adds a "planet specialization" mechanic.

Stellar Phenomenon - Adds new non-colonizeable planets, new stars, and random events.

Outlaw Sectors - Adds "Rampant Milita", which is basically auto regenerating local defense forces for the owner of the planets. They will defend their planet and defend or attack adjacent planets. Also allows pirates to attack multiple players, adds a "Smuggling" planet specialization.


If you want more types of stuff to run into in your games or more planet customization options, then you will like the DLC. They do not however change the core gameplay for the most part, just make the game world a bit more interesting.

Honestly in terms of whats been added from a value standpoint, they aren't worth the price of entry when you look at the sale price of rebellion is 10 bucks.

If you like sins though, I'd say its worth buying. Makes things more interesting n all.

If rebellion was free the DLC would still be worth 5 bucks each. I don't agree with your assessment.

Honestly, just play the game for a while and decided for yourself. Everyone has reasons to buy them or not to buy them and they are all valid. If you become a fan of sins, like some of us many moons ago then its worth it. If you feel like you are going to put it down and move on to another game and never look back then its not worth it then.

only one worth it for me was forbidden worlds, the others i play with them turned off, i dont regret buying them thou since sins is a great game so i dont mind supporting the devs with my purchase.

For me the reason I got all the dlc's was for the mods, if you plan to those you may need the dlc's to make it compatable

While I cannot speak for other modders, the mods I've made work fine regardless of which DLCs you own. Some features may be unavailable unless you have appropriate DLCs, but in Sins is quite easy to make mods work regardless of DLCs.

I've left no response to this as I'm actually at a loss how one comes to such a rationalization. If rebellion was a free game, spending $5 on DLC (given how little is added) is an even worse value proposition. (outlaws is kinda cool though)

Maybe I fundementally miss something about the DLCs but I hope you can share how these DLC are worth the cost of entry at $5 when the premise is Rebellion is free. Most mods add more and better things.

Why should they be free? Someone did the work!

I agree you with annaliseh. Chairman Wang doesn't seem to understand anything in this regard.

please highlight where i said they should be free. This is a direct response to the OP asking if the dlc are "worth it". Unless you really like sins, I would say objectively they are not as other things add hands down more value and are free. Maybe your trolling but I'd say this is the oddest method I've seen.
