I'm a big Stellaris fan (not that I'm good at it) so having a Trek flavored version is going to be perfect. It also does really make sense to have it set in the Star Trek universe to begin with. There are so many prebuilt situations that you can revisit through a new lens. Do a bunch of 'What If' scenarios. It's going to be wonderful.
We barely get any Trek games lately and it's exhausting. Most of them are mobile games which can be fun but don't require much planning or strategy. It definitely already looks like the grand strategy game that I need.
Edit: Well, you guys are going to get it at least.
It's actually been a pretty good year for non-mobile Star Trek games, between this, Resurgence, and the Prodigy game, all while STO lumbers on.
I had forgotten Resurgence even existed. It was out of my price range at release, especially given the lackluster visuals. The Prodigy game I've been meaning to play but I haven't even seen Prodigy yet. Now that Paramount seems hell bent on erasing it from existence I'm not sure I should get it into it.
We've had a Trek version of Stellaris for a while in the New horizons mod
