Paradox: Star Trek Infinite

[Josquius]

Nothing automatically wrong with it being just an elaborate stellaris mod.
But I do recall they released several games in the past that were just elaborate EU2 mods. They were Meh.

#1 That was a long time ago.

#2 the Star Trek license is both going to cost Paradox some money, but also has the prospect of bringing in a lot of sales.  I don't think they'll do a slapdash Stellaris mod and call it a day.

[Josquius]

Were you part of those?

I remember for mods they were quite impressive but as release games when I think eu3 was already out they seemed off.

I never played Stellaris. So this might be my entry into that world.

I remember buying both Darkest Hour and Arsenal of Democracy but I cant remember why.

This looks a lot more Stellaris than I actually expected. Not sure what I think about a mission tree that has a dedicated for building and crewing the Enterprise-D.

And since this is set "a few decades before TNG" I assume there will be a "historic" starting position/galaxy?

I downloaded New Horizons again for Stellaris. Launching a 1400 stars galaxy, but been sitting for 5 or so minutes now on "Setting Start Conditions: Large Maps will take longer". And the loading bar barely moved.

Forgot about those. I think I had AoD but by the time I got it, I kinda moved on. These were HOI 2 or 3 related?

Both were 2. Neither convinced me that they were better than vanilla.

 Been a while since I played it but I remember the galaxy still felt too small with the dominion discovered pretty quick.
Stellaris just isn't suited to St. ST is too crowded with races and most of its events are alien race related. ST doesn't need solar systems represented really, just planets.

I do remember liking how they handled the federation in one version though. Helped me sort out my head canon for real ST with the human led starfleet taking on an at first unofficial home for those who wanted to break free from strict established racial structures and explore.
