While many were hopeful that diplomacy would finally end the war, differing opinions on what should be done, along with the depleted power of the controlling factions, has led to a splintering of the groups involved. Take the battle for galactic supremacy to its ultimate level in Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion – a standalone RT4X game that combines the tactics of real-time strategy with the depth of the 4X genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate).

Features of Sins: Rebellion:

New Factions
New Titan Class Warships
New and Updated Capital Ships
New Corvette Class Ships
Updated Visuals
New Victory Conditions
New Audio
Tutorials
And More!

Thanks gang, we're investigating the reported map issues. Keep 'em coming! This is what beta's all about!

I'm so confused. I started Steam. Went to Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. Clicked Properties.

Under the question that says "Select the beta you would like to opt into:

I chose this: Beta: Public BETA Opt-In

Underneath that there is a box that says

"Enter beta access code to unlock private betas: (Then a button that says "check code")

I don't have a beta code. I've scoured this site and have found no "beta code". Nor have I even found anyone mentioning a beta code.

I thought maybe my steam client just needed to be restarted.

I restarted it. Same thing. No downloads happen. No updates to the current loaded version happen. And I have no code to put in the box.

Help!

Vasari's "Junsurak Sentinel" should add into the description of "Charged Missile" in the upcoming patch.

It does get "Charged Missile" ability, but the tech's description doesn't mention it.

I can't seem to select the beta option in Rebellion's Steam properties. My only option is opt out... :/

Also, devs: Work on the TEC Loyalist Titan's "group shield" graphic. It looks horrendous and spoils an otherwise great looking game. Something similar to the Advent Guardian's bubble would look much better.

EDIT. Nevermind, I restarted Steam and it appeared. You may want to put this in the OP since some of us nerds leave our PC's on 24/7 and have little reason to restart

That probably means that you are running the Beta already.

Just run the game and check the version number.
