Next Sins Of A Solar Empire Micro-Expansion News

Stardock and Ironclad have announced their plans for the next micro-expansion for Sins of a Solar Empire.

Titled Diplomacy, the pack is going to focus on diplomatic options. You're surprised, right? But yes, you'll have far more diplomatic options available and the pack is also set to "help make forging good relations with other empires a major option for would-be galactic conquerors."

We imagine you can expect more, as the previous expansion - Entrenchment - added in a lot more than just starbases.

So what do you want to see from Diplomacy, gamers? I'd quite like the ability to offer actual missions to other players and NPCs rather than just setting bounties, myself.

Either way, the beta is due out in fall with a general release to follow in winter 2010, which we suspect means between December and February being that Entrenchment hit around that period earlier this year.
