Is Multiplayer Hot Seat Mode Available?

[fsupple1]

Game specifications lists "Family Sharing" as a game mode. Is that the same as Multiplayer Hot Seat Mode? If not, is Multiplayer Hot Seat Mode available in this game?

Family sharing means you can let someone else with access to your games library via the family sharing feature "borrow" your copy. There is no multiplayer mode of any type in this game (would be cool though).

No multiplayer. The sync issues for tens of thousands of private and state ships with a dozen active wars and all the other stuff that goes on would be a total pain to net code. Not impossible by any means but I think waaaay more involved than they want to dive into. Not even sure if stride supports peer to peer.

"Hot Seat Mode" (normally) means playing the game on the same monitor/PC, but in alternating sessions, right ?
Well, since this game is not turn-based and also doesn't offer any kind of multiplayer-mode officially, this is not possible (normally). - BUT: You could easily do something simillar to this with a little trick: Just invite someone to play with you on the same PC, but chose different races (in your mind) and set all gamestart-settings for AI-races equal to the (first) player-race - then set the wanted time-period to play for each player (externally - like with an alarm-clock) and start a game with the race the first player shall controll... and after playing the set time-period just switch to the next race with the editor and let the next player play his time-period with the race you had switched to... etc. etc.
(Only thing you have to keep in mind is that each of the player-races will turn to an AI-race during the time-period of the other players... - but this way you could have multiplayer-fun, nevertheless, I think. )
