"first" Star Trek grand strategy game

[Undaunting]

Excited for this game, but Birth of the Federation exists and was fantastic, so this is hardly the "first."

[uwot]

True. I don't feel this game will be the true Birth of the Federation successor.

Had a chance to make BOTF2... Made a Stellaris Mod... awesome..

I keep an open mind, but to be honest i would have prefered something similar to Birth of the Federation. Not sure about this, but on the other hand i am just grateful that it isnt anything "newtrek" related.

I don't see what your reply has to do with the OP.

Birth is still great if you can get it to run but this will be FAR superior imo, the NC and H mods are great but I can’t wait for this game to released!

I can get it to run on my steamdeck and windows 11. Google "BOTF installers 2.0.3"

Add the Ferengi and call it BOTF 2 pls! and maybe this thing won't crash every 5 minutes or develop a memory leak 8) Loved playing botf on the MSN gaming zone

Has the crashing in combat and memory leak been solved from the original?

No. BotF even when running 'correctly' is still very problematic. It was all we had back in the day, and excellent for the era adding a lot of immersive features whose bugs we could look past, but it is not something to go back to except to scratch a nostalgia itch. It's past time for a succesor, even a spiritual one and the Stellaris model is definitely the pedigree to start from.

I would have loved BoTF 2, where we advance through the eras beginning with old Constitution class ships in the 23rd century, but will take whatever we're given. We certainly haven't seen the full extend of what they hope to deliver, there isn't even a release date yet, so let's see what they manage to actually pull off. And where additional development and expansion can take us if it's as successful as other paradox titles - From additional eras to the Gamma Quadrant and the Dominion, they can go anywhere if they build a strong starting foundation.

Unlike BoTF and that general era, paradox supports, improves, and builds out their titles.

But its NOT BOTF2, its going to be nothing like BOTF, its going to have the Garbage Stellairs combat.

Its Star Trek: Stellaris and thats it.

Thank god it isn't "new trek" but TNG / DS9 / Voyager trek, I really doubt new trek would sell.

[Mitora]

Armada 3 would have been more fun tbh.

I hate all kinds of mods mostly because they are unstable and breaks at some point.
