Im looking through Impulse right now and don't see an option to change my nickname... where is it?

You would have been right before April 24. It seems to have been fixed.

You go into the Community section of Impulse and change your log-in nick. When you log in the Internet game, that Impulse nick is the one that must be used, and it is now supposed to be recognized in the lobby & the game itself.

If it doesn't work immediately, a Stardock employee recommended to give it a few hours, or even a day, to let the database update the info transfer.

Eventually, they will make it much easier to have multiple player nicks associated with one Impulse Account, without having to go into Impulse to change the Account's log-in nick each & every time you want to switch.

That was my case for over a month, since the mid-March phase of the Beta, and it really p*ssed me.

The old Impulse Account name was my dad's nick. With his permission (of course, since he pays), I changed it to my Stardock forums nick. That part was easy, but for over a month, even though I had successfully logged in with the new Impulse name (my Sorceresss nick), once I was in, I was told that I had logged in with the old Account name (my dad's nick) --- an obvious contradiction, as you illustrate.

I complained and bitched about it on a few threads, and lo and behold, on Friday the 24th, my dad's nick had disappeared from all DG related info, and I was at last recognized as Sorceresss in the lobby and within the games.

I then believed that a technical fix had solved the issue for everyone. Maybe kryo got tired of my forum whining & bitching, and he pressured his mysterious "database guys" to fix my case to shut me up.

Sorry if I misled you all (in my reply #4) : I really believed that the problem had been eradicated on the 24th.

not really a bump... still no in game name update =/
