Well, technically, Ironclad games created Sins of a Solar Empire. Stardock has only been a very good publisher. Also, we don't even know if its another expansion. It could be a sequal or anything else that is not a micro expansion. So yes, more information would be much appreciated devs.

I'm hoping that we get a bona-fide Sins-2.  I really think that would make much more financial sense than for them to just create a large non-micro expansion after Diplomacy.  A sequel would earn fresh publicity, it would go on store shelves, and everyone who had purchased Sins-1 previously and liked it would have to purchase Sins-2.
