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:
[br][B][ Graphics ]
Added correct icon for Mine Control ability.[br]
Updated some UI textures.[br]
Removed name from texture on TEC Corsev battlecruiser.[br]
Increased zoom-in distances for all ships/structures.[br]
Moved out build emitter point on Advent Titan Factory to prevent mesh clipping.[br]
Fixed various mesh point errors on Advent Discord battleship.[br]
[B][ 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.[br]
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.[br]
Autocast conditions added to most ultimate abilities; allowing the AI to use them.[br]
Replaced Advent refinery drone mesh/texture with trade drone mesh/texture.[br]
Updated game Victory/Loss strings.[br]
Fixed typo in Advent racial description.[br]
Reduced shield regeneration rate on all Envoy cruisers from 2.0 to 1.0.[br]
Artifact Planet players (Occupation Victory) will no longer be placed as random militia on maps.[br]
Replaced TEC Rebel corvettes at Pirate planet with Pirate Rogues.[br]
Fixed bug that allowed temporary or illusion ships to be cloned by abilities or research subjects.[br]
Updated Pirate Raid fleet compositions per level. Raids will now have a broader range of ship types and numbers. The max level raid is now particularly brutal, so you won't want to be the target of that![br]
Pirate Mission costs adjusted for new raid levels (based on average summoned fleet supply). Pirate Missions are now substantially more expensive to account for the greater difficulty.[br]
Reduced Pirate research upgrade costs for all subjects.[br]
Reduced number of research upgrades per raid from 2 to 1.[br]
Increased rate of points gain for Diplomatic Victory and decreased the number of points required to win. This should greatly speed up Diplomatic victories and make them a more viable option.[br]
