Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Keep Topics Trek Related - This is a Star Trek community, so of course discussion should stay in that area! That means no real world politics.

No system requirements listed, but presumably they won't be too high for a game like this. I'll try to give it a try sometime.

The good:

  • you get to play as Janeway and crew making decisions for Voyager.

The bad:

  • The demo at least is 1:1 the first episode of Voyager
  • UI not yet optimized for Steam Deck (you cannot move the cursor to UI elements to see what things are)
  • When using the touchscreen of the Steam Deck the game switches from controller mode to M/K mode and does not always switch back

Hopefully the full version is much more open than this was.

Well hopefully they get some of that ironed out by launch! Presumably the story will branch out more once you make a few major decisions, but maybe it'll end up following the show and be more linear than I expected. I wonder if they'll support mods, that's usually something that can give a game a lot more replayability!
