I'd like to give Chapter Master a go, but I don't know what versions of the game exist or how complete they are. Could someone point me to whatever version they think is best/most finished? Thanks!

Lion's version (0.6602) is the latest, as a continuation of Duke's work (0.65~), unfortunatelly, all the links to the file "officially" are behind a... few dollar paywall, and even then You'd probably not going to get the file, as it is likelly deleted. Your best bet is to join a discord group about it and ask some of the folks there for a copy, via google drive or other ways.

ndkid, as he himself is on this forum, probably posted a link to his github page with his own version of chapter master. In theory, this one is latest, as the dev is... still around, probably. Interface is vastly different from Duke's/Lion's last time I played it.

Wait, someone put that behind a paywall? That's pretty shitty unless the only reason is to protect themselves from GWS.

It sounds like a scam.
It probably just means it's not available anywhere publicly online.

So, I saw that there are still some problems with downloading the last version ,so as someone who got his hands on the game, I've decided to put on Mega in case on link stop working,etc

Here's a link to a zip claming to be Chapter Master 0.6602, which Blogaugis called Lion's version. No paywall. Thanks to Blogaugis for giving me enough clues that I could google it out :)

I know that in Duke's version (0.65~), the spawns were randomly generated once your forces arrived at the system.
This means, one could exploit this to create more STCs or other stuff for him/her self (save before arriving, keep reloading until a desired special has generated).

If I remember right, Lion's version (0.6602) removes the randomness and basically makes them... generated at the start.
Good idea would be to consult changelogs for more details.

As for the list of possible features... Well, I don't have it, I remember just some possible stuff.
It would be a bit weird to use this in an exploration based game, though, it is debatable how much exploration is in chapter master.

It's mostly Artifacts and STCs. I think you can occasionally just get resources, but that means you didn't get an Artifact or STC...

Well, since we are elaborating...

The good stuff can be:
STCs - do remember that location and system ownership is (potentially) important, as Mechanicus folks simply won't let you take them, without a fight. The way to bypass this is to intentionally let the planet fall to an enemy force, and then try to seize the STC (Not sure if one needs to clear out the enemy force and land as the game still thinks it belongs to the enemy, or you can take it even with some hostile presence).
Artifacts - Pretty much the same as STCs, but at least you can buy them off - just remember that sororitas are not, like admech, willing to let you have it for free... assuming you want to have them yourself. Artifacts are mostly useful as gifts anyway.

Mixed bag:
Ruins - can be buggy, with how daemons and other chaos folk tend to crash or otherwise affect the game (so save before trying to explore). Rewards, if I remember right, range from requisition, to artifact, to maybe an stc...
space hulks - can be tricky to clear out, but once done, basically gives endless supply of armor and possibly other resources.
Slaughtersong ship - I personally never encountered this one, it apparently drains your requisition when techmarines/techpriests are on planet, fixing the thing.

Other:
Cave system - I think it raises the defense level of the planet, or something...

Bad stuff:
Necron tomb - Usually sleeping, but I guess I don't need to explain why this is bad news?
I think in some versions of the game, you can probably find the place where a warlord/warboss is sitting around.
It probably can lead to some hostile forces spawning in the location.

Oh, we forgot about Dead World that can be turned into a Chapter Lair!
But they're pretty obvious, since they're only available on Dead Worlds.
