Ohh boy, currently i have almost a 80 hours of gameplay under my belt. I'm coming from a prestige game, which took 3 days to finish. It was a GRIIIND. Let me share my honest opinion here first. At the current state of the game and almost only 10 days till full release. The game doesn't worth its price. Don't misunderstand me. I like the game and i see that this can be really great, but currently it's a buggy and glitchy mess. Also I'm way to lazy to join communities here and there and try to give bug reports, suggestion with such a round about way. So 2 birds with one stone. I'm going to write it here.

Let me start with the win conditions. Especially how overpowered influence is and how impossible is prestige. Currently doesn't matter what civ you are playing, what kind of playstyle do you have, if your civ is geared towards anything. IT. DOESN'T. MATTER. You are most likely to win an influence victory, just by existing. (Here to clarify, higher difficulties may help on this situation, but as most of the new and casual players will play it in normal/easy difficulty I'm writing for those difficulty levels.) Which is fine, i guess. But for the influence victory conditions bar is set so low, if you want to enjoy a game you'll win before even going anywhere. Also Rebeling, because of influence pressure is also glitchy, sometimes you'll have foreign Core worlds inside your sphere of influence for almost eternity, before they flip. They have no major influence on the map anywhere doesnt matter, whole sector is under your influence doesnt matter. Sometimes they just dont give a damn about it. (And they are not immune to culture flip).
Diplomatic victory is fine i guess. I can only say this. It's not a good win condition, but it's not a bad win conditions. You just need to ally with all of the other nations and wipe out the navigators as they cannot give and recieve any diplomatic ties.
And the cherry on top, Prestige victory. If something gave away the messy state of the game, this was that game. Ascencion crystals DOES NOT WORK. You know one of the core mechanics for this type of Victory, is the slowly ticking prestige points, which in this case should be the ascencion points. In theory your starbases which is "mining" the crystal gives as you technologically upgrade, more and more points per month towards the victory. This just doesnt happens, it is a static number doesnt matter if you control it or not it gives absolutely nothing towards prestige victory. In my game, I just needed to let live the last civ in the game, (in war with each other otherwise you'd win an influence victory) for days. Cause the only thing that matters and can give you points are the 2 things. First the quest you can do that gives raw prestige, they are not a bad quests, but imo galactic achievements as wonders and such should also count towards this Victory type. On otherhand, there is such a small number of quests you can do for more prestige that I felt despair playing for prestige victory. The only thing that matters is your fleet size apparently, cause military power is the only thing that is activily influencing your score. But don't worry you can max out your tech tree, basically control all of the galaxy, Have almost all of your planets fully build, all of the ascencion crystals under your control, you'll need to only build like a hundred full fleets to be able to win. IT IS A GRIND, and not of the good kind.
I didnt win a conquest victory yet, cause i wanted to win a prestige first.. But conquest is fine. Basic concept, just wipe out everyone. Nothing intresting here.
Also some artifacts just dont work in the game currently, for example the -5 influence per turn on enemy planets. Don't even bother, you cannot use it.

SO to finish the review and bug report. Please if any dev is intrested to read some of this. As of now, don't release the game yet. Please bugfix it, and just work on the core gameplay a little bit more. At this state of the game, it is playable yes, can be enjoyable. But small inconveniences everywhere. As a new player, before you want to buy this game, really think it through, cause currently it is not worth the money.

MINDENT!
