Stardock has released a 1.1 beta patch for Sins of a Solar Empire, the company's popular real-time strategy game. On top of the usual tweaks to the balancing issues, the patch offers an updated graphics engine and visuals, new damage animations and more. In addition, version 1.1 includes a new multiplayer system called "Alloy" which eliminates the need for configuring routers or changing port numbers.
While there is no release date set for the full version of the patch, interested players can download the update through Stardock's new Impulse platform. Keep in mind this is a beta patch, and bugs may appear.
