The next test session starts on February 6th. See this page for the schedule:

Since Alpha 3 just dropped, we currently have pretty short test sessions, but expect them to get back to 96 hours once Alpha 3 got smoothed out a bit more
Ps: you can read "Alpha 3 Test 06 February 2020" on the very top of dualthegame.com which links to the page above.
Personally speaking, winning is the ability to enjoy myself regardless of the outcome.
I'll give an example...
Couple of sessions ago, i volunteered to drop some folks on a nearby planet.
I'm not over-reacting when i say that anything that could go wrong - went wrong.
Had one poor guy lose his speeder, ship being too heavy and crashing like a million times and to top it all off, a passenger somehow ejected out in space.
Yet regardless of how much suffering we had to go through, it was a one of a time experience.
I fondly remember the motivational chants when trying to break off the atmosphere, enjoyed the view from space and chatted together for 3 hours about random stuff - everyone had fun
