Without promising anything specific, that is the goal -- to have an advanced player setup option which allows loading a specific (base game tile) map layout, and presetting the factions + speaker. It should give the most flexibility without requiring FFG to approve specific variants.

If it’s still open, i would like to test it
Thank you..

Quick update: All steps in the status phase have been implemented. The agenda phase will take some design with all the voting mechanics, so I am not expecting to update until November.

Good thing nothing important happens in the agenda phase...oh wait...

Thanks for the hard work and the updates!

Right, we might as well just automate all votes to "yes". What could go wrong?

Please add me to the group for testing if possible. Cheers.

As a reminder, no players are yet being added to the private alpha group.

We clearly work at the same workplace as certain decisions where I work have had a similar mindset

understood, apologies

Quick November 1 note:

The agenda phase is functional, meaning the entire game can be played (missing lots of effects like most action cards and technologies). However, I am still finishing some edge case handling, like when CORE MINING comes up for a vote, but no player controls a hazardous planet.

Private alpha invites are still NOT ready.
