Question about Alpha...

In the Mini Manual that was posted by Yarlen, he said that "However, with this initial Galactic Civilizations III alpha, we have many features disabled or hidden and that results in game flow issues that will not be in future builds."


What exactly has been hidden/disabled from this first build?

If you look at this post on the development of Galactic Civilizations over the years you can see a list of features that are going to be in Galactic Civilizations III. If you've played the Alpha, you'll notice a lot of things on that list aren't in the game yet:

United Planets, Galactic Resources, Galactic Events, Ship Design, Combat Viewer, Cultural Conquest, Asteroid fields*, Invasion tactics, Fleet combat decisions, nebula and ion storms*, strategic resources, and probably a few more that I've omitted because I'm not sure yet if they're in the alpha.

*Asteroid fields and nebulas/ion storms are in the alpha, but don't currently do anything as far as I know.

EDIT: thinking about it, nebulas and ion storms do have effects on the gameplay, but for some reason I thought they were supposed to have resources as well, but I'm unsure about that.

I appreciate the reply, but it doesnt really answer the question.

I saw the list when it was originally posted, but thats just a list of planned features.

 

Ill restate my original question, just in case I wasnt clear enough.

 

He said that there are features disabled or hidden in this, I was asking to know what exactly has been put into the game that we dont have access to use or see. :)
