About This Mod
Scripts automate all of the game setup as well as the transition between game rounds. 1st edition factions that work out of the box with the updated 2nd edition rules have been added as a bonus.

Game Setup
A dedicated menu allows to configure the initial game setup, including the option to choose which expansions to play with. Press "Setup" to initiate the first round and to automatically perform the initial board setup for Eclipse Second Dawn for the Galaxy:
  • Available technologies are chosen randomly based on the number of players and placed automatically
  • Tiles for outer sectors are randomly chosen to match the number of players
  • Turns are tracked automatically via the turn marker
Players then choose their faction.

Automated player setup with the push of a button
  • Automated setup of all starting sectors
  • Faction-specific number of colony ships (Planta receive 4, Terran 3, ...)
  • Initial pool of resources is assigned automatically
  • Influence discs are placed on the player board according to the chosen faction (Eridani receive less)
  • Automated faction-specific fleet setup (no Dreadnoughts for Rho Indi)
  • Player boards are automatically locked in place

Starting subsequent rounds triggers an automated clean-up: Remove damage cubes, refresh colony ships and pass cards, return reputation tiles, ...

Expansions
All expansions for Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy are included and can be selected during the setup:
  • Outcasts: New Faction "Rho Indi Syndicate"
  • Outcasts: New Faction "The Exiles"
  • Seekers: New Faction "Wardens of Magellan"
  • Seekers: New Faction "Enlightened of Lyra"
  • Minor Species
  • Rift Cannon
  • Galactic Events (Nebula, Supernova, Black Hole, Pulsar)
  • 2 additional options for turn order (e.g. 2nd player to pass decides the direction of play)
  • Optional: Faction "Pyxis Unity" (Eclipse 1st edition)

I've found a way around this (thanks to previous comments). Pull out those tiles before confirming setup.

Amazing mod! However, I can't seem to find a way to always have the advanced blueprints - as the only option is randomization.

Does this mod have sprites for npc ships?

will you ever add the 3d models made by SynthDark? orbitals are really cool

@Borek Thank you for bringing up the tokens for the turn order variant. My group mainly plays with the variant where the second player who passes defines whether turns go clock-wise or not.
I simply forgot to include tokens for the Turn Order Variant. This is easy to add, I'll try to get the tokens in over the weekend!

Pyxis Unity is a faction from the first edition that has not yet been officially released for Second Dawn.

Why are there no tokens for the Turn Order Variant for expansion races like The Exiles? And where did the Pyxis Unity race come from, as far as I know they weren't part of any expansions I've seen

@Kay Many thanks for the update!!

We experienced the same bug as David where the turn order vanished. I managed to turn turns back on and it all worked again though! Thanks for the mod, it works well :)

It took a while but the Enlightened of Lyra can now be selected as a playable faction. Enjoy!
All expansions are now fully covered and included.
Please let me know if you have feedback or further improvement suggestions!

Hello David, I will try to look into it this weekend. Thank you for the report!
