Resources are gathered by building a mine on an asteroid and that's really all there is to that aspect. The ship ai handles all of the micro stuff for the most part. You build them, research enhancements, then point them at a planet and spend the rest of your time exploring and planning. Sometimes you'll need to redirect them to a new target or tell them to defend a particular ship if that's part of your plan. Unlike starcraft, you don't have to get your construction timed down to the second. You need to figure out the build order, but that's all queued up just by selecting what you want to build without any extra keys. Sins is more macromanagement, really.

It seems like it would be fun, but I've never been very good at being able to keep up with all of the resource collecting & construction aspects of RTS's like Starcraft... Is it micro-manage or larger scale? How does Sins compare to Starcraft?

Is it micro-manage or larger scale?
