Going to wait for confirmation of Alpha Centauri Ab before I change my own vision of the system but it's still The Capital, the Future History won't be too different.

Annoyingly, this does mean revising my own fictional Alpha Centauri but for the most brilliant of reasons!
I imagine there are LOT of revisions for other worldbuilding projects, Alpha Centauri is a big deal, being the next star system on from ours.
Disturbingly similar set up to the locations in the Avatar movie series, has James Cameron actually been to Alpha Centauri and that's why it takes so long for an Avatar movie?
Its location filming!

Last year when we celebrated the 25th anniversary of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri #AlphaCentauri https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/attention-sid-meiers-alpha-centauri-25th-anniversary-celebration-fan-film-series-game-remake-more.688050/ we showed you the first episode of a brilliant new fan shortfilm series by Ratimir Rakuljic titled 'University Base' retelling the story of University faction leader Prokhor Zakharov's journey to Alpha Centauri. Well the day has come that his big Episode 2 titled 'Fractured Unity' is here.. in fact it's so big he's splitting it into 3 parts! We hope folks enjoy it as much as they did Episode 1! :)

You damn right I'm naming the superhabitable world orbiting Tollman (Alpha Centauri B) 'LeGuin' in my Worldbuilding, so many reasons to do so.
Most importantly it is a statement in Universe and out, a hopepunk space opera, the old world making way for new worlds.
A real cartographer, used to working with real geographic data, decides to try his map making skills on a ‘fantasy’, game-inspired world: specifically Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri. This essay is a deep dive into the technical aspects of what it took for him to make the map, and the difference between making traditional real-world maps and fantasy maps. A small group of you may be interested in his journey, and the story he tells. #Maps #Cartography #MapMaking #AlphaCentauri

@setiinstitute It's not impossible for Tardigrades to have made it out to Alpha Centauri.....
What's your favorite star?
Doctor Who, 1970s.
What year?
The iconic image in the window resembles, but is not, a January 1972 cover of Radio Times.
The presence of noble Aggedor makes me think, 1974 or later.
Bottom right, to my sister's right: Alpha Centauri. Famed for giving me the glad eye and elocution lessons, I was its star pupil.
Who's that, by my side, to my sister's left? I do like the glittery off-the-shoulder arrangement.
I vaguely recall a family trip to London for this. I'm not certain that it was London.

My wife is currently running an #AlphaCentauri #ttrpg using #Genesys. I’m playing a salesman turned environmental “mage” named Mariah Esteban Thorne. Comfortable now with my own #asexuality, I’m playing an #ace PC. We actually had a bit of a romantic scene during one of our recent sessions, and it was so nice to have the GM understand my PC’s perspective on it. So much better than some “roll to seduce” situations I’ve encountered at some other tables. Hooray for open communication! #AceWeek
