As of Tuesday the 19th, Alpha is feature locked. That means whatever feature is ingame that’s going to be released is in in some form. A bunch of bugs to sort out, balancing to be done.

Depending on the next few days, we hope starting next week we’ll have a public branch on Steam for players to try out Alpha 2 early and give feedback and help us track down bugs prior to the actual release. It’ll be optional, and probably fairly buggy the first few days so please remember that when the time comes.
Star System generation has been tweaked, so while visually some things are a bit tighter packed, there should no longer be any overlap. Moon regions should no longer interfere with other moons and planets. Asteroid regions should no longer overlap with any other regions either.
We’ll cover more of the changes when the public branch is made and when Alpha 2 is finally released.
