I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.

Enterprise3d guy has been pretty silent for a while, I think he was getting poo poo from CBS but I've read he's still working on his project. Stage9 guy said on Reddit (I believe) that he reached out to E3D guy but got no response.

I'm impressed with just how well the Stage9 stuff runs on my laptop (it is pretty beefy with a 970m) and how good it looks. That Unreal4 engine is pretty good stuff.

Enterprise3D guy was silent for a year or so but posted some new pics a few months ago, so he's still at it, I guess.

What something like that really needs is a way to automate corridor generation so the whole ship layout can be done in a bang and then rooms can be 'unlocked' as they're created.

I never knew how much I wanted that Enterprise D sim til I saw it. :swoon:

Now if I had a VR rig or it could run on my phone with a Gear, I'd have achieved nerd apotheosis.

It's the kind of thing I imagined when I was a kid. Just think, in 10 years we'll have fully mapped Enterprise Ds (and other ships) with totally accessible rooms, that we can visit in VR.

A Star Trek game where you are an Ensign straight from the academy and have to find tasks to do or pretend to do so around the ship you don't get sent down on an away mission where you will inevitably die. Your goal is to become vital enough to the running of the ship or the bridge's officers themselves that you don't get drummed out of Starfleet.

Redshirt the Roguelike would be tons of fun.

Yeah, considering most of the Enterprise-D blueprints consist of crew quarters, crew lounges, and random mechanical rooms it could be auto-generated. We all really want to explore the main shuttle bay, dolphin tanks, the bottom of the warp core, computer cores, mall, etc.

As somebody who spent way, way, way too much time messing around in the Starbase 11 mod for Elite Force as a kid, I'm anxiously awaiting the day when this thing releases in a complete state.

Technically possible to hook up your gear as a ghetto VR rig to your computer. VRidge.

The guy did post a video on his YouTube with an HTC Vive. It's pretty neat.

Has being on Trek really been that great a gig? I've always assumed that it's kinda a blessing and a curse in that if you're not exceedingly good at avoiding being typecast as whatever you did on the show, you're screwed.

So the Asian captain will get a Chinese-name ship because we wouldn't want to confuse the audience.

Better retcon it so Captain Sulu gets command of the USS Kamikaze or something instead of the Excelsior.

7 years of constant, well paid work followed by a lifetime of less well paid convention work is very much the exception for an actor.

It's just marketing poo poo to China because producer dogma says everyone needs to market poo poo to China now. Just even clumsier than usual.
