Well I'm extreemly excited by this expansion. But then again I am the project lead of it 
If you visit the CCGW forums then you will likely already know about it.
Its not just a load of custom cards, we have made the game bigger!
I had to post this up here as a testament to the usefulness of the create custom card function!
We have put together 51 cards so far for this expansion, and I spent most of this afternoon putting them into the Deck Builder. I have also exported them and zipped them with the images, and I will make the file available on the expansion website soon.

We made this for our own enjoyment, but we thought we would make it available to anyone who wants to play it.

Now that I have grabbed the text format from another post, I shall post up a couple of spoilers for you.

Speed: n/a
Cost: 40 +10A + 10L
Arm/Stru/Att: 3/8/0
Card Text: Deplete: To move this Jumpship and any docked Dropships up to 1 system.
A Jumpship may transport upto 2 Dropships.
Mass: n/a
Main Armament: n/a
--------------------------------------
Card Title: Leopard
Card Type: Unit - Dropship - Naval
Speed: n/a
Cost: 20 +5A +5L +5M

--------------------------------------
Each of the cards has flavour text, but you will have to wait a little while to see that. 
If you want to try this expansion, and while you are waiting for the Open Beta release, gen up on the standard rules as they are the foundation of the Galaxies expansion.

Have to say I have had a few problems with the Custom Card addition.
When ever I make a new card and then try to view it, I get an error message "List index out of bounds (0)"
If I then quit, put the image file I want to use in the image folder, restart the DB, add the image to the card, and try to view it, the problem is sorted. Anyone know what is causing this to happen?
Also, with cards like Gearhead, they dont actually have armor, but have a +1(or whatever it happens to be) modifier in the armor slot.
Would it be possible to add the ability to put + and - infront of the armor and structure value in a future build?
In the Galaxies expansion we have some cards that need to be able to do that.

If you click up on the Report Defect/Enhancement link a the top menu, you'll see a place where you can enter all these requests. I'm especially interested with the defects. Please enter them there as it's the best way to get them fixed! Also, be very specific in how to duplicate your error.

I've posted up the defect as well as some enhancement suggestions. Had to update the defect several times as new things came to light, but i think you have all the information for that one now.
I have in my possession Version 1_6 of the Battletech Galaxies rules. It needs some revision, and hopefully I shall be able to release it by the end of this week. And then Battletech Galaxies shall move into open Beta testing, so everyone can grab the various files they need, and get playing!
