I’m going to. I’ve been waiting for a Star Trek release on Steam so will reward the developers by getting in early.
I am, I love Stellaris and have played the NH mod, but I like the idea of one essentially built from the ground up as a Star Trek grand strategy game.
I wonder how it'll feel for someone like me who never played Stellaris.
If you've ever played a 4x game before, it's not too hard to pick up. Stellaris is a fantastic game, and I've sunk quite a few hours into it.
With that said, sometimes they drop the ball on DLCs, and the late game gets bogged down/boring, so it's worth waiting for player reviews to come back before getting it.
Absolutely. I have probably spent hundreds of hours on Sins of a Solar Empire, and though this isn't that, it is similar enough with a Star Trek coat. I'm sure I will get hundreds of hours out of this one as well!
I feel like Sins would be a perfect game to do a BSG based 4x game. With all the build fighters or bombers squadron decisions, or the reliance on capital ships.
Cool! Didn't know about it until now. I'm a big Stellaris nerd so this is interesting to me. But I'll usually wait until a game has proven itself before getting into it.
I saw a video about it yesterday - I think just because my youtube algorithm knows I like star trek. It looks fun! And it's not super expensive either.
I'd have to try it to know for sure, but that video makes it look pretty boring.
