Stardock Entertainment and Ironclad Games are happy to announce the availability of Beta 2b (0.80) for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion today.  Now available via the Steam client for all pre-order customers, this update contains a number of bug fixes, performance optimizations and balance adjustments.

Change Log:

[ Graphics ]

• Removed name from texture on TEC Corsev battlecruiser.


• Increased zoom-in distances for all ships/structures.


• Moved out build emitter point on Advent Titan Factory to prevent mesh clipping.


• Fixed various mesh point errors on Advent Discord battleship.

[ Gameplay ]

• Players are now limited to a total of four simultaneous superweapon structures. Based on feedback this amount may be increased, decreased or the weapon effects buffed, etc.


• Adjusted AI to allow AI players to make better use of their available Fleet Supply. This is one step in a multi-step process that will be continued in the next update.

[ Misc. ]

• Optimized threat detection system for performance.


• Optimized order system cleanup for performance.

* Force game to 1024x768 window if not appearing at a recognised resolution (fixes issues with video capture at 720p)
