Homie, I am totally on board for a good Star Trek strategy game. What I'm not on board with is paying for a mod that I got for free, and the mod does better. New Horizons, I could play as the Pakled, the Trill, the Bajoran, Sheliak, heck I'm sure they'd let you play as people on Risa if you wanted to. They didn't even bother to change the Energy/Minerals/Food icons on the screen. The UI is Stellaris, the game play is Stellaris. In the screenshots available on the Paradox website, they show a picture of Qo'noS as an ocean planet, didn't even bother to make the planets how they are supposed to look. I mean, come on man

Right, at least I hoped this game would be in new Victoria Engine which is their new engine. Looks like old Stellaris engine with same mechanics changed for Star Trek.

One of the things I liked about BOTF was that every empire looked and sounded distinct and unique with their own UI design, the screenshots on the store page all look the same UI for each empire except for a different colour. I do hope that more character and unique design is going to be implemented before release. Hopefully aesthetic things like that are still just placeholders even though its due to be released in October which is only 4 months away. I also really hope that this has its own fully fleshed out ship combat, diplomacy and espionage systems to differentiate it from Stellaris and make it feel like an authentic Star Trek game.

I am 100% with you.

Not even a Stellaris mod. This is just a bare-bones, TNG era version of New Horizons. Hopefully there is enough for them to work with that the NH team can transfer the mod over to this game, or grab stuff from this mod that can be ported over to theirs still on Stellaris.

yea same... was hoping for Birth of the Federation 2.. would have fitted with having the Master of Orion remake guys on this in coop with Paradox for the Grand part... and then its just a Stellaris cheap visuals mod...

[Shockwave 006]

Birth of the Federation came out 24 years ago, we waited all this time and we get a mod for Stellairs.

Paradox, i'm not mad, i'm disappointed, expected more from you.

Microprose exists again so who knows maybe a BOTF 2 is possible in the future as well.
