OK, so this is basically Stellaris - Star Trek Edition, which, as someone with over 600 hours in Stellaris, is at least relevant to me (even though I'm not a huge Star Trek fan). However, there is already an excellent Star Trek mod for Stellaris called ST: New Horizons, which honestly might end up being better than this game.
Star Trek: Infinite should be a streamlined and simpler version of Stellaris, which might be cool for a couple of games for me, but it certainly won't replace Stellaris. It seems pretty smart from a marketing standpoint, though, as it should serve as a good entry point as "baby's first" grand strategy game, coupled with the Star Trek IP. This should be a certain hit.
Anyways, I just thought some folks might be into this.
I am so ready for the 20 dollar dlc that adds the ferengi and trading between factions. (something that should of been in the base game)
