" Some players may not like scifi in an otherwise science-based game, as such we will add a cutoff point where the player can choose to not advance to scifi technologies at the cost of not being able to reach Ascension. This will lock the player to essentially the early Space Stage."

That’s true, but the critical difference here is that we can just spend 10 minutes adding a popup warning when researching the first scifi tech, which the player can just use to decline researching it. So it takes basically no effort to limit someone to early space stage.

It is my understanding that as long as the player has not chosen to research theoretical technology that the AI will not be able to reach the Galactic/Mid Space Stage.
