Sorry guys, no beta this week. The Team has been doing some play-testing on the Sins Release Candidate, leaving GC2 with only a small handful of tweaks, which we'll roll into the next update.

Sins of a Solar Empire, huh? Just as a little fan encouragement: I'm really looking forward to that game! It's looking really awesome :

The only real adjustment I would make to the Thalans is giving them a stronger end game. Expand their tech tree, make their strongest industry building better than a friggin' Industrial Sector, get their starbase modules fixed and I think they'll be fine.
