7DS 2.5 will be available for version 1.12+ Sins of a Solar Empire. Also, 7DS can only be played at HIGH maximum settings. DO NOT USE VERY HIGH settings. This will cause a minidump.

Races now have their own traits that make them more unique, from being a total offensive race, to a highly researching race. Each race now has its own unique tactics of gameplay.

TEC
ADVENT
VASARI
Same tactics as before
TCA
Build "tanks" of ships, and roll over your enemy with firepower and armor strength.
UNITY
Spread culture even better, and keep enemies at bay with improved beam and shield technology.
DARK FLEET
Utilize phase missles with reckless abandon, with 60% possible improvement of bypassing shields, amd make use of bigger ships.
THE GALACTIC EMPIRE
Use the power of the Empire, raw power and fear to completely dominate your enemy.
THE ROGUE
Rob, pilfer, and steal your way to greatness. The Rogue are a mismash of various stolen technology, and can steal resources, and even other ships.
ThE ARILOU
Not being of this dimension, the Arilou do not rely on money and normal means of transport or construction. They simply spawn ships from their "motherships",
and travel through Quasispace, which propels them at near instant speeds from planet to planet.
THE UR-QUAN KORH-AH
Totally aggressive, the Korh-Ah are built for battle. They are all offense, and barely any defense. They focus on exterminating every race and every planet they find,
and almost every ship is capable of boming from orbit. Their goal is to "cleanse" the universe of all other sentient life, anything that is not an Ur-Quan.
THE ATLANTIANS
The first humonoid race in existance, they created all others. They are slit into two sub-species, start with a weaker side. They rely totally on technology, and is
key to their success and survival. The Atlantian Player that can access all their research, will be unbeatable late in the game. They harness many deadly weapons,
including the dreaded Stellar Converter from the Master of Orion games, and can even cause a Super Nova explosion. Tactics for playing them are research hard and fast,
or your weaker side will be quickly defeated by the other races, who are much stronger in the beginning of the game. Their weakness is their technology however, and
loss of their research stations will instantly cripple them until they are rebuilt.
