Page 14 of the Rules Reference Player Order section includes: "When playing with more than two players, player order is determined for all players involved..."
Hoping this means a Rebel vs Imperial vs Scum showdown all all time variant of game play. Though that might get crowded, maybe a new playing field size (like in the 1.0 Epic).
Or maybe a 2 vs 2 mode where 2 players fly for one Friendly Faction with their own 200pt squad? (and are considered Friendly)
Theories?

Circular table and play mat. Will make it fab fun. Get a big enough table put 5-7 factions on!
In all seriousness, we played casual 3-way (oh-err) games in v1, it’s fun but someone always gets ganked.
At a minimum it lays the foundation for custom large group game variants with a solid turn order rule to build off of.
We played a 3 player quick build escalation game and it was fantastic!
We placed 3 spawn points and deployed at them based on initiative (lowest ship imitative got to pick where to spawn first), was a ton of fun.
The way to do above 2 players that makes sense is to go in a predator prey fashion. You only score points by having kills among your prey.

My eyes glossed over that at first, just getting the idea that it was involving every faction. Something seemed off though, so I looked at it more carefully, then realized Scum was in there three times! That got a laugh out of me.
It's sort of weird that era is relevant now for everyone but Scum, but I'd definitely love to see a giant battle involving every faction.

More Scum ships mean more Scum getting turned into space debris!

In 1stEd we found the best balanced way to run three player games was a team of 2 with 75pts each and the third with 150pts.
3 player games. Destroy the player to your left.

As opposed to "destroy the player until you're left," which is otherwise known as Standard.
Huh. A hex shaped mat would not only be pretty cool, it could lead to all sorts of 3 player variants.
