This sounds good!

Sins of a Solar Empire v1.1 Beta has Arrived

The next major update for Sins of a Solar Empire, the best-selling PC strategy game of 2008 that puts the player in command of an interstellar empire at war, is here!

Since this new update is huge and contains several brand new technologies, we're going to be offering it as an optional beta for those who want to help test it out and provide feedback.

Version 1.1 not only includes a host of play balancing changes but new content such as an updated graphics engine, updated visuals, new damage animations, and more. It also includes a new multiplayer system called "Alloy" which eliminates the need for configuring routers or changing port numbers.

This beta update will be available only through Stardock's new Impulse platform (http://www.impulsedriven.com).

See the full change log for all the details and the beta information thread for more information on obtaining the update.

I have Sins patched up to the most current non-beta patch, but I think I am going to give that a go for a few games before trying out the beta patch. What has my interest is the updated graphics engine, I thought the game looked great as it is now, so I'm interested how it would look after the patch.

I haven't installed the beta because I figure I might as well wait and let others ferret out the bugs. But I am also interested in the graphical improvements.
