Only thing I've seen the devs say is they will be more strict with what is allowed on the workshop - no Star Wars mods for this game for instance as Paramount wouldn't like it. Star Wars at least works better on base Stellaris, the hyperlanes are basically hyperdrives, other IPs might be be nicer with warp back in play, though there's always nexus or github. Good to hear the game will otherwise still be mod-friendly though.

Archonex posted:I really don't see how this is going to compete with the main mod for Stellaris which is so absurdly detailed I can play as rubber forehead alien species #4519 and get a unique gameplay experience with all sorts of crazy events that fit them alongside a custom fleet system that this game seems to be outright cribbing at least some notes off of. Some stuff like captains being assigned as military leaders to ships are ripped straight out of mechanics from the mod, in fact. Which Stellaris mod is this?

It's been a while since I played either, and they both change quite a bit of the base game, but I believe the first goes further. It has more resources and puts canon limitations on shipbuilding, like no cannons on Starfleet ships.

It has more resources and puts canon limitations on shipbuilding, like no cannons on Starfleet ships. Here is a link to new horizons, which is the older and probably more developed of the two. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=688086068 It's genuinely impressive in it's design and scope. It's so detailed you can start off as post Cochrane Earth and eventually form the federation by going through Enterprise (the series) episodes complete with the Enterprise being a captain type ship like in Infinite and even assigning captains according to canon from the era. You can even put it in the more conventional Starfleet feeling dude whom Archer replaced.) or gently caress it up and end up in all sorts of insane alternate canons that it and earlier series implied were the case. The mod covers literally pretty much everything in the canon and even lets you opt into the beta canon if you want. Every episode, every plot, every ship (and you can lead initiatives to do new takes on canon ships that were proposed but in setting never put into place), new mechanics to go with it, new crises stemming from canon and possible scenarios, etc, etc. And this is for every major race in the series. Even the one shot races can get neat mechanics. The Krenim, the time traveling assholes from Voyager have unique tech and events that (due to the recklessness of their tech) gently caress up the space time continuum and let all sorts of stuff happen. And they need it, since they're parked next to the Borg which for the longest time played like nothing in Stellaris and had an entirely unique gameplay style and mechanics. Ditto for the fascist dino aliens from Voyager with their massive city ships. You basically play as them and are semi nomadic. Heck, the Klingon Empire is basically a Crusader Kings knockoff with you having to balance the power of the scheming houses lest they start a rebellion like in TNG. I recommend paging through the changelog to get an idea of the scope of the mod. Infinite's gonna have it's work cutting out if it wants to compete with it directly, which is why I originally mentioned it. Archonex fucked around with this message at 07:10 on Sep 29, 2023 |

As a very basic/passing fan of Star Trek, I've only really ever liked Federation stuff; the non-federation ship designs are not super attractive.

On one hand I want this to be good, but on there other hand do I really need another paradox DLC money pit, especially one so similar to an already established money pit? I really don't want to go through another dev cycle of adding piecemeal add-ons like espionage or leaders or whatever. I just can't loving do it.

IDK, if it's getting lots of DLC then that means it is selling well and Paramount is happy and they might ask more developers to make Trek games.

I think the big Trek antagonist empires are each pretty cool in their own way, but society-wise they're all basically imperial dictatorships. Hopefully you can change their governments and get some unique events. If they're trying to stay close to canon and the Dominion War isn't in the game, I wonder how much unique content the Cardassians are actually going to have at launch. I'm cautiously optimistic about this but it feels like a situation where the initial sales will determine whether they get to build it up into something really cool.

One of the reviews I read mentioned that they noticed the Cardassians were following a diplomatic path rather than a military one in their game, so I'm pretty sure they have paths like the ahistorical ones in HoI.

If it's more DLC like race/species packs I'm 100% down and will spend real money for the honour of playing as a little poo poo ferengi. If it's just stellaris DLC a couple cycles behind, pass.

The mission trees image posted in that dev blog shows that the Cardassians have a path of government reform and one of making peace with Bajor, and the Romulans have one of dealing with the supernova that completely shakes up their society, so there's definitely ways for at least those two empires to significantly alter how they function.

If it wasn't for the Klingon invasion and the Dominion messing things up then Cardassia was already on the path to a more open and free society so I'm glad they give you the option. Kris xK posted:If it's more DLC like race/species packs I'm 100% down and will spend real money for the honour of playing as a little poo poo ferengi. From the way the developers have talked about what they'd like to do in the future I think DLC will be more story and event-based rather than adding tons of new mechanics or completely changing core systems every year.
