Just a few days to go and Frogboy brings us a few more tidbits in the Founder Vault. A few highlights
* The "This is an Alpha" message is nice. Though for some god forsaken reason, despite a similar even more obnoxious warning, this has not made everyone playing DayZ and Planetary Annihilation any better. One can hope that GalCiv3 fans will heed this warning!
* Some broad talk about how the tech tree. This will likely be a hot topic of debate in the Alpha!
* Apparently according to canon, Class 6-8 planets are the "Northern Michigan" of planet types?!? It wasn't THAT bad when I was there 
* A final note about 'non hex shaped galaxies' Could lead to some interesting gameplay?
In any case give it a read as we are fast fast approaching the Alpha!
