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.
You already have a Trek flavored version of Stellaris. It's called New Horizons and it's been around for nearly as long as Stellaris itself has.
Tbf mods always feel like they are just hacking and jury-rigging existing mechanics to fit a new theme (which they, well, are). If we can get proper support for ST-specific things like the neutral zone, warp drive-based maps rather than hyperlanes, larger focus on exploration or random anomalies, it could be interesting. It wont replace stellaris for me but it I can see ST fans preferring it over a (possibly janky) mod implementation... but this is all assuming the official conversion is not just as janky and limited by the old engine ofc.
New Horizon is realy well made though.
