Good article, but we already know the release date since Blair said it on G4TV 
Given what we've already seen and found out about Entrenchment, I don't think there's much reasonable doubt that it will not be worth the $10.
New artifacts, planet bonuses, skybox, cruisers, starbases, mine fields, turret upgrades (with the latter 4 all being unique for each race), more engine tweaks..
The ability to change physical appearance is probably going to become pretty popular with modders too, since it opens up some good doors for model deforming
