Oh another thing I noticed when looking at the Romulans ... apparently there's no Remans? I mean, Star Trek: Nemesis was not a very good movie, but removing them from the equation completely (esp. when Stellaris has a mechanic for master/servant races within an Empire)?
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I'm skeptical of how they'll do it and what I read now doesn't sound encouraging.
But a proper story driven star trek strategy. A new and improved birth of the federation. Would be great.

I don't know read a couple reviews and they don't sound terrible.

I mean - I played the hell out of Birth of the Federation.  It was not a very good 4-X game.  But it was a Star Trek 4-x game, and that was enough for me.

And like any Paradox game - give them a couple patches to work out the bugs.

Hmm...  Yeah I didn't love Nemesis, but it's canon and Remans need to be in there somehow.

It's not like a one-off episode that you can frankly ignore.

Overall the general mood online seems to be that this is a decent, but not great game. 7/10, I guess? I will wait for a patch or two before diving in proper, I think. :D

They posted on the Paradox forums that this game will no longer receive updates so I guess no patches lol

Paradox really is a mess  :lol:

I've no faith in any of their products, in house or otherwise.

This one was coming - there'd been massive layoffs at the developers in recent months. Not sure how much of this is on Paradox, though. The deva are part of Embracer group who have been slashing and gutting studios ever since their anticipated deal for 2 billion dollars dollaroonies fell through.

Paradox let people purchase an incomplete game that didn't actually get post release support. It is on them just like their increasingly long list of fails.

Curious. I'd imagine the license would have cost a fair bit. Sad it hasn't worked out.

Maybe should have tried Nintentoesque route of banning fan mods for Stellaris. It was always going to be an uphill slog against a detailed, free mods based on latest version of Stellaris vs this was an earlier fork.

I'm reminded of the Stargate game mess. Fan games got absolutely destroyed when it was in development- the developers claim ignorance and said as they understand it (which seems true?) if the rights owner hear of a fan game then they legally have to destroy it or else they lose their copyright?
Maybe with mods its different?
