I don’t know. Paradox has already messed just last year with it’s Victoria 3 release. I can’t tell if the studio or the publisher is doing most of the work, but the studio has a grand total of three games in 10 years. I am highly skeptical of this game.
I dont disagree, I couldn’t get into Victoria either. That said, crusader kings 3 is becoming a truly incredible game - to my embarrassment, I have 2500 hours to support that opinion. And from what I hear, Stellaris is fantastic as well. I bet they have some of the Stellaris team on board for this trek project, since they seem quite similar from what’s been shown so far.
Fair enough. However crusader kings 3 came out 3 years ago. Since then paradox has downsized. And frankly I don’t think city skylines 2 is looking so good right now.
I dunno. I don't really feel like the character of Star Trek fits within the typical combat game template.
The whole point of the franchise is exploration, finding out what's out there, and expanding the realm of the possible. If I'm in charge of a Starfleet starship, I fully expect some number of my encounters to be techtech'd away or for many of the challenges to be moral rather than tactical.
The enterprise no bloody a b c or d was in constant peril, but the enterprise d was only very rarely in a situation they couldn't shoot their way out of.
Literally in every series except Voyager the Federation is in a hot war with some foreign power and the “Remember when we were just explorers?” Lines are usually tongue in cheek, with the full understanding that exploration was only ever a small part of Starfleet/Federation operations, while they spent far more time dealing with rogue factions and warring with other species.
agreed, the Enterprise always stops the warp engine in front of another ship’s debris. Ton of stories about manouvers with pilot names, tons of situations where the ship weapons doesn’t work so they have to resort to diplomacy, and we’ve always looked at this world from the perspective of one ship. I’m pretty sure the rest of the captains are more Jellico than Picard
The admirals all certainly are, though maybe that’s because of survivor bias, they shot first and asked questions later so they survived. Whereas most Picard-like captains and their ships get destroyed because you have to have an excellent crew to overcome what happens when your morality dictates your actions.
That’s the whole point of 4X games, you don’t have to win militarily. However your opponents may not have your same aversion to it, so you do need to defend yourself. Just like the federation in the show really.

I beat it through emulation and save scumming, but his playthrough was a lot more tactical, and now Im starting to understand I’m not support to just hit the attack button over and over again!
Have you ever tried to setup a Windows container let alone one on an Xbox? Even Microsoft knows windows containers are fucking shit, just look at azure Linux, it’s the entire reason for it’s existence
Even Microsoft knows windows containers are fucking shit
The Xbox System Software contains a heavily modified Hyper-V hypervisor (known as NanoVisor) as its host OS and two partitions. One of the partitions, the “Exclusive” partition is a custom virtual machine (VM) for games; the other partition, the “Shared” partition is a custom VM for running multiple apps including the OS.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_system_software#System
Xbox already runs two VMs. Just throw in a third with real Windows.
Here’s hoping it makes a splash and can stick around this time. I feel like unfortunately there are so many good games to be playing at any time these competitive online games are so much more likely to fail even if they’re extremely high quality.
