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.

I don't play on PC so the mod is completely unavailable to me. So no, I don't have a Trek flavored version of Stellaris.

And I just learned that the information I was previously given about Infinite coming to consoles was completely incorrect. It's a Paradox game so there's a chance but otherwise I can throw out my streamers and excitement I guess. Well I hope everyone else enjoys it at least.

How will you play Infinite? As far as I can tell it's only on Steam.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Simple answer, I won't and I'm actually upset by that.

I updated my comment to address a few minutes ago but it must have been after you opened the comments.

I had been excited and waiting for this game for months because the person who I heard the announcement from had also said it was going to be for consoles. I didn't think to verify that because he had never made a mistake like that before. Gaming on PC is also not an option. I've been using the same laptop for 5 years and it was already outdated when I got it.

Ah, my bad. Hopefully it's successful enough to get a console port.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Here's hoping. Paradox does tend to do console ports for most of their games so there's a decent chance.

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.

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

It's fantastic to boot.
