In a game that’s all about decision-making aboard the U.S.S. ‘Voyager,’ of course players are going to be asked to tackle one of the most infamous decisions made in ‘Star Trek.’

Last month, we were very excited to see the announcement of Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown, a new survival game from Daedelic Entertainment and Gamexcite that tasks you with charting the U.S.S. Voyager‘s journey home from the Delta Quadrant as you repair the ship in the wake of the event that flung it 70,000 light-years across space in the first place, and make your own decisions from the captain’s chair about where to go, who to fight, and who’s on your crew.

And yes, that means you will be able to decide whether or not there is justice for Tuvix. … Star Trek Voyager – Across the Unknown still doesn’t have a release window, but aside from being available to wishlist on Steam for PC players, it’s now been confirmed that the game is also coming to Xbox Series X and S as well as PS5.

  I always found him super annoying. Like dude, stop trying so hard, you’re getting on my nerves. I would promote him just to get rid of him. Haha

    Promote him to “meat torpedo.” So many posthumous commendations.

Just let me know if it will let me kill neelix and it’s a day one purchase.

  Couldn’t ya just… Leave him there, after the caretaker episodes, in that bondyard where they found him? I know he’s annoying but like damn.

  A “teleporter accident” into space.

I wonder how many in game days a speedrun would be while still destroying the Caretaker’s Array? I want to dunk on Janeway’s time to the alpha quadrant… Unless I have to run my engines on nucleogenic aliens like the Equinox.

Yes, that’s fine. Can I kill him? Like plunge a knife in his chest, not beam him into two.

I wonder what the achievement will be.

I never understood why they didn’t just use the transporter to recreate Tuvok and Neelix. You have their patterns on file when they last transported. Just leave him alive and duplicate those two and you get both scenarios. We have seen examples of duplicates throughout the show. I know this isn’t really the point, but it’s always felt needlessly contentious when the writers could have just done it.

  Because the point was the moral question.

  It would have worked if they routed an inverse tachyon beam through the transport buffer.

    See? We could have technobabbled it into a new character on the show but here we are, arguing about this again lol

    Sure, but how would you account for the phase variance in pattern cohesion from the temporal drift induced by the inverse tachyon field?

  From what I can tell, their patterns are only on file during the transport, after which they are discarded. They imply it takes a lot of power and data storage to transport, meaning that they can’t just store everyone’s patterns.
  
  There is an instance in beta canon, but just knowing that transporters and the title are related might spoil the entire plot. Thus, I am using nested spoilers so that people can check if it might be something they’re going to read without knowing exactly which thing it is.
  
  Spoiler for IDW Trek comics
  ::: spoiler IDW Lower Decks comics/graphic novels spoiler ::: spoiler Warp Your Own Way Spoiler Someone does overcome the power and storage problem and figures out how to make unlimited copies of a person, using this to repeatedly clone Captain Freeman and then Mariner to get secrets out of them. However, this was with years of research, and it was all destroyed within the comic plot to maintain continuity with the screen.
  
  However, you could probably try replicating the two containment beams thing that happened to Riker and Boimler, though, duplicating Tuvix and splitting one.

Whoa. So is this like FTL, but bigger budget and Voyager themed?

source
- cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago
  Yes but more like Fallout Shelter (which is like FTL but from the side).
  
  I get why you went to FTL, because it’s in space and you’re on a ship. Maybe Fallout Shelter was inspired by FTL?
  
  But nah, this is more like Fallout Shelter in space, maybe with some elements of FTL because rather than having a base where characters are added and must go out for resources, the base moves and can’t really get new characters (or maybe it can, Neelix, Seven, and Kes came from the Delta Quadrant, so ostensibly they could get more) but still sends people out on missions.
