With the recent release of Stardock's newest futuristic 4X RTS game, the developers from Ironclad Games are winding up with another update for the game in the upcoming version 1.02 of Sins of a Solar Empire.

Frogboy on the Sins of Solar Empire forums posted a preview including the newest list of changes found in v1.02. A lot of these changes take care of the gameplay and balancing issues players on the forums have noted.

Other notable changes included in the upcoming build are several bug fixes for the game's Multiplayer aspect. Also, loading modded maps will soon be available, which leads us to wonder if Stardock will be releasing its own set of modding tools before the next patch.
