In base game the agenda would destroy a unit if their reroll missed, in pok the relic destroys the unit if both the original roll and reroll missed. Which is it for this implementation? Judging by the 3 wordings I can't tell which functionality it has.

Original wording(according to wiki): they must destroy each of their units that did not produce a hit with its reroll

BGA wording: They must destroy each rerolling unit that did not produce a hit

POK's relic wording: any units that reroll dice but do not produce at least 1 hit are destroyed.
Good eye. During development, the card text was discussed with the publisher (Fantasy Flight Games), and the wording was adjusted accordingly. This means:

* A war sun rolls 3 dice, producing 1 hit.
* If the player has The Crown of Thalnos, they can reroll the other 2 dice.
* Even if both of those other 2 dice still miss, the war sun survives, because it still produced at least 1 hit (with the original die).

Great to know! Didn't want to risk my naalu flagship (hits twice on 9) without knowing

There was supposed to be a screenshot here showing a game where, by the end of round three, not a single message had been posted in the chat. But the forum, just like the company's new policy, is misleading. With the attachment limit set to 512 KB, it claims that a 400 KB file exceeds the size limit. 🙂
Ah, I guess I didn't pay extra for image uploads. 🙂
Self respect : definition : Self-respect is a noun defined as a proper regard for one's own dignity, character, and worth as a human being. It involves valuing yourself enough to set boundaries, act with integrity, and expect to be treated fairly by others.

Also, a fix has been added to prevent an exploit involving transactions. Previously, if someone received an offer to exchange Ceasefire or Support for the Throne cards, they might activate the opponent's system and attack them, but immediately accept the transaction after the activation occurs. This prevented the opponent from withdrawing the offer.

In the physical world, of course the opponent could simply object to the attack and decide not to resolve the transaction. For this reason, if you activate a system that has an opponent's planets or units in it, the game will now automatically reject any outstanding offers from that player to you. This prevents attacking and then accepting the pending offer.
It's insane work you achieved here. I thank you very much for your time and energy. I plan to make good use of what you created, I promise <3

Will there be a process for requesting Beta Access when it does open up?

I just started a new game and got an error that we need to have premium to choose anything beyond the 6 starter races. I assume this is a consequence of moving to beta?

The free ride wasn't going to last forever.

Correct, that limit begins with beta. It has been requested, I am just waiting to hear back from BGA.

And the switch from alpha to beta how long is going to take? What are the next steps?

Unfortunately, I don't know. I have not heard back yet.

If a premium member invites free players to their table, are the free players still limited to the 6 starter factions?
