        From a practical/end-user perspective is there a summary of the main differences/benefits of this over the standard client?

          1. Lighter
          2. Faster launch
          3. Faster lobby connections
          4. Faster game launches
          5. Faster reconnections
          6. Faster patch confirming before game launch

          Theoretically, things that can be made faster:

          1. Map generations
          2. Lobby authorization
          3. Ice adapter

          But those things will never happen in near future, because it is different projects

                      Is there support for the different game types, in particular FAF Beta Balance and FAF Develop?

                                    Wait until Ethereal FAF Client 3.0 version 2.1

                                        Nobody questions that. All we question is why you have 2 version numbers so Client 2 version 1.0.x instead of version 2.0.x

                                          @Brutus5000 xD I thought it's like Client 2.0 Refresh of Client 1.0

                                          And about versioning, I didn't think too much tbh.

                                          I will fix it with next release then xD
