I wanted to kind of "restart" this thread because the original has focused more on the association with Steam and the related technical issues.  Not that those aren't important, but it might be easier to have a separate thread to focus more on the game-play aspects discussed in the article and not the Steam aspects.

I don't want to imply people's concerns aren't valid;I just want discuss some other things here.

And just to start with something, I wonder what will happen with the pirates if 2 Rebel TEC forces fight each other. (But talk about anything else related to Rebellion gameplay).
