Why am I colonizing Denobula and Risa?

[Ad'Nar]

Is this game just early access without saying its early access or did I miss a conversation?

That did feel strange to me too. Risa should be a Federation planet.

Honestly, the more I've played the more it literally feels like a (somewhat polished but still buggy) early access game. There's lots of little issues with the UI and gameplay. You can even end up with the same named characters with slightly different names multiple times. E.g. with Riker in the Federation.

Early access and possibly that the devs no nothing about Star trek which is concerning.

Can it have something to do with the timeline? I do not know much about Star Trek story, but love the TV-series.

How many more Planets the UFP should start with compared to the other Factions? They probably took the most important ones (Founder Planets).

Why more? Why not just make all of them start with more planets so the game gets going quicker. Perhaps as an alternate start once you've accustomed yourself to the controls and such.

The whole point is to play as a pre-established Empire. Not an early space faring single planet like in Stellaris. The starting state here literally feels like 20 years in to Stellaris but with a now Static spawn position, it's very little difference in actual gameplay because of that.

i would assume there going to move it away from Stellaris as time passes as they polish it with patch and DLC too right?

If you take away the initial build up Phase it would make the Game very boring. Why not get rid of all the Techs too while at it? One of your first Research Option as the UFP is the Phaser Cannon as an example.

As the Cardassians, you can work diplomatically with the Bajoran sector and they will accept. They hate the Cardassians, their diplomacy scores should be different.

if every UFP planet was colonised at game start do you know how much micro you would have, you'd spend hours before you even unpause...

I think that's the idea

They start as a vassal of the Cardassian Union, I.E they agree because it is the occupational government.

I guess they are starting out bare bones so they can charge for all the updates piece meal as always.

Did you understand the OP correctly? He asked why he has to colonize Risa and Denobula even when they are already members of the UFP at that time.

But ok, just bash PDX randomly about something ... lol

They want to stick to familiar names from the various series for obvious reasons. However, if they kept them all in their locations from the series, 98% of things would be within the Federation since almost everything has been seen from their viewpoint.

This compromise is obviously necessary. If the loss of immersion from this necessity outweighs other positive factors, you may end up not liking the game.
