There should be something on the new Gal Forge that allows you to create something near to a campaign for Sins. I will make a campaign series featuring the Darkness, or the Vasari ancient enemy, as the main enemy, once the new, Rebellion Galaxy Forge comes out.
You won't find a campaign that invloves role-playing, with people that talk to you. If I remember, the Devs said there would be no campaign for Sins, period. Most likely, there will never be a SOASE II.
Also, I see a reason that Ironclad and Stardock have not come up with a campaign yet. Some people just rate games on their campaign. I don't think Ironclad and Stardock want Sins to be rated biased off the campaign.
Heck, I'm not trying to offend the devs, but if they came up with the worst campaign in the history of all creation, and got their game rated based off that, you think many games would sell? No. Most likely, absolutely not.
If Original Sins of a Solar Empire had gotten rated based off the campaign, had they included one, would there be an Entrenchment, Diplomacy, and, within the year, Rebellion? No, Sins would have been shelved as a failure, a dud, a piece of junk., which it isn't.
So let the devs do what they want to do, make a very, very, very cool space game, and make your own campaign, or download a campaing that someone else has made. Personally, I wish I could make the HUD dissappear sometimes, just to view Sins in all its coolness, like a movie.
For example, Battleships Forever. BSF is something like Gratuitous Space Battles. It has a campaign much like sins is now, with only skirmishes, intermixed with briefings and debriefs after the mission. In that respect, minus maybe the fact that you get subspace radio reports, there is no visible campaign, except that the different maps follow the pattern of a campaign. Personally, I like the game 1.) because it allows you to easily blow stuff up, and quickly, and 2.) you can create a ship within an hour, unless you spend time making the moving sections, and are particular with how each weapon operates. I don't care about the campaign for BSf, and I only play it so I can blow stuff up.
In summary, most likely, you will never find a campaign, unless it accompanies a mod. Even then, It won't be a good campaign for just the three races in Sins, because there is no principle "baddie", except the Pirates, who are only a sometimes major nusiance. There would have to be a baddie, or villian, for you to have to destroy, to make any campaign, or raid, in some online games. There could only be one principle "baddie" that the Devs could make without making major overhaul to the lore, and that would be the Vasari ancient enemy, The Darkness.
I think that's all I'm going to say right now, so, have a nice day.
Yarlen,
Don't ban me. I went on a rant because it's starting to annoy me that people keep asking if there will be a campaign in Rebellion, so, yeah. It annoys more than a few others on this forum, as well.
