It’s only £25 and if it’s successful then it shows Paramount there’s a market for Trek games beyond the mobile pap we got for years. Same with Resurgence earlier in the year.
Comment on Star Trek: Infinite discussion

The only thing that has me frozen is Stellaris has so much, and Infinite has 4 factions to pick from. What is the bonus of buying this over just downloading the Star Trek mod for Stellaris? Other than that it looks great, I like the inclusion of popular Star Trek characters, it looks like a reskin of Stellaris which imo is not a bad thing. It looks interesting, but I would have preferred far more faction choices.

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t buy games to get corpos to use their IPs in smart ways. They won’t. If they did we would have gotten a L4D style Borg game where one of the main mechanics is shield harmonics while you’re running frantically. The good IPs getting wasted is just a side effect of copyright laws being given a phylactery.

Playing Devils advocate, it looks like they put a lot of flavor and assets into each of the playable factions which is why there is a limited selection. Still more would have been better. I can understand the decision to keep the Borg as an AI controlled faction, but Stellaris already has mechanics that fit the Ferengi well.

Its also 30 dollars and not at full price, so I wouldn’t cry foul too much. Thats cheao nowadays for a game.
