question about races

[Steven]

is it possible to make a new or custom race and not play as one of the main ones in here ?

also wondering if it have random race generator so can run into custom races also besides the main ones ?

[Dewit]

Dunno.

[Dirteedeeds]

Doubt it

[Steven]

be kinda neat if could special if your playing federation and exploring new areas randomly generated races in game would give it fresh feeling every time when you seeking out new civilizations

[Voss]

Im wondering if you can play borg.

[Bufnitza]

You will not be able to play with custom races, minor races, borg or dominion. You can only play with Federation, Klingon Empire, Romulan Empire or Cardassian Union and the start is canonically fixed in time, politics and map.

That’s kind of a shame I was hopping for sandbox style of Star Trek universe and less story driven where can create customize my own Star Trek universe in way and run into random events and random empires and races things maybe even bring in the the confederation of earth which was opposite of federation but f planets or the Terran empire and play as them for example or make my own empire that just plays in in user of Star Trek

It seems more story focused for a strategy game rather than pure sandbox

Jep. I think it starts 2340? With the famous characters from 90th trek appearing.

No, you can play one of the 4 empires (Federation, Klingon, Romulan and Cardassian). Each one starts as an established power with its own balance, dynamic and methods to achieve its goal.

If you want to compare with Stellaris, it's a bit like if you started in an already established galaxy, with one of the very distinctive origins/civics, except you get even more unique content.

It's not necessarily story-driven, however there's a lot of content specific to each of the 4 factions. You still get to decide which path you want to take, but it's more similar to Europa Universalis or Hearts of Iron than to Stellaris. I guess we could say it's more "historically-driven", in the sense that the decisions you can take depend on the empire you play.

But you don't have to follow a particular story. In EU you can decide to barricade your nation, you can become a colonial power, you can become an empire, you can make alliances or enemies, it's basically the same thing.

would been kind of neat if it started when physicist Zefram Cochrane created the warp engine time period and then just moved on from there and just kept going through all star trek technology.

started each race where they learned how to use warp drive.

Yah was hoping we could start right after Zephram Cochrane created warp for Federation.

I see several problems with this.

The most obvious one is that that not all races have developed Warp Drive at the same time, which means that some empires would start a lot more advanced than the FederationEarth (The Federation as we know it came almost a century later), possibly just stomping it. It would be needlessly challenging from a gameplay point of view. Earth was a literal galactic dumpster for several decades during that time.

The less obvious disadvantage would be that for the first few dozens of years, there would be literally nothing to do. The NX-01 came many, many years after Cochrane's discovery and it was just one ship. If you think Stellaris has a bad and sloggy start, then oh, boy, this variant takes the cake and eats it all.

Year go by really fast and if it’s story drive date would just depend on race you pick just like ck3 has diff starting dates and world is form fitted for those starting dates sense this game is more like ck3 and or hearts of iron than stellairs it wouldn’t be hard to have starting date book marks for this

Specially sense this is sort drive a historical style game starting date book marks make sense for it to have.

If it’s rearl time like Stellaris u can fly through five years in Less than 10 mins if you want to.

I usually play so timer runs at about year taking couple mins then as there more things to do game speed gets slowed down.

There are no problems only opportunities for solutions

You would have to start it with the launch of NX-01 or just before it. (i.e. Star Trek Enterprise).

I just think if this game is more like hearts of iron with more story driven events it work nicely with bookmarks for each race when they started.

Klingons first achieved warp capability in the Earth year 930 AD, i.e., during the time of Kahless, so they could have there own story starting from there.

The Vulcans were an interstellar civilization by 9th century BC and could have a bookmark starting then.

the Romulans evolved on Vulcan and, as a more or less single culture, would have developed some form of efficient interstellar travel by the 9th century BC also

as for Cardassia First they had first contact between Cardassia and another planet (Bajor) which appears to have happened much earlier, in 1571 AD

at least according to time fandom web page that the listing of time frames that be interesting book marks for each of these four races sense this is story driven as for earth

got war drive in 2063 but didn't join federation till 2161 but earth had pre federation ships and there own fleet.

so sense its story driven game there could be cool events that take place during time frame leading to diff direction earth takes example there are supposedly more than one parallel universe in stark trek one that is seen most on tv is the Mirror universe

fandom claims there 7 or so where events in universe altered and then started to move apart.

so if this is story drive style sand box change history kind of game.

early starting period and more story events leading to altering history and if earth is going to join or not join federation would be key to make probably great star trek write your own story Real time Stgy Game that there seem be trying to claim this is.


so good example be you are playing as Vulcan so you started back in time further now you to pick if you going to make first contact with humans or not and if you do not what happens then.

this above explanation is technically what Heart of Iron games are along with crusader king games, and even europa games are
