I've been playing it with some friends in my dorm so i only know how it plays on a LAN but from a balance point of view its quite different. The cloak appears to be a lot more effective and the annoying little bugs (like the transporter panel bug) are gone. The roms got the biggest boost in the patch, plasma torpedos are deadly at close range and more accurate than photons. So far i've found nothing wrong with the game post-patch although there are a few more slow down periods when there are a lot of shuttles and ships flying around. I'd definately say its worth trying out.

Yeah, I've only played one game so far, but the Rom Warbird is certainly more powerful post-patch than it was before, and it's possible it's more powerful in this patch than it was in the previous Beta patch. Cloak certainly seems more effective, at least against the AI. Plasmas are finally a credible heavy weapon.
