I'm looking forward to Starship Simulator.....I can see where a discord server or community is started to keep a game on a single ship running 24/7 with a full complement of crew members.

I just found this little gem, and it reminded me, this game is what the very original concept for Star Trek Online was.

As it happens I'm re-watching Voyager and the new ship design reminds me of a hybrid of Voyager and the hyperspace rings from Star Wars. I definitely approve. Can't wait to play it.

Been following this for awhile, pretty darn excited for it!

Man exploring the stars. I hope we can play the finale build. Cmon guys throw your money at the screen!!

So we're going from a starfleet ship more towards a vulcan ship now. =)

I assume the person chosen to be Captain is done through trial by combat, Klingon-style. :)

**insert joke about how the game is nothing but ship interiors here** 😉 I played around with the demo when it was first released. Had fun messing with the lights and cutting power to different sections of the ship for a few hours, then moved on and honestly forgot about it. I'm glad that it's making such progress, as the concept has s lot of potential and the people behind it clearly care about the details! In a somewhat similar vein, but with a shallower learning curve, my people and I have been having an absolute blast playing Pulsar: Lost Colony. It's playable with up to 5 players, each taking a different role on the ship (I claimed the pilot role, naturally). There's an overarching quest to it, and you take a wide variety of missions (or just go rogue and do crime). There are a few different species you can play (I play as a robot), a ton of NPCs, and a wide variety of environments. Ship combat feels very much like Wrath of Khan, on foot combat is what you're expect from an FPS, and the non-combat on-foot stuff feels like an original series Star Trek episode. You can upgrade your ship and personal gear, level up skills, etc. In a single evening our crew cleared out a pirate outpost, infiltrated an auction on a desert planet, scavenged for rare items in the seedy underbelly of a hive city that was so large we kept getting lost (and mugged), got into a few Starship battles with rival fractions, explored alien ruins, accidentally triggered the security robots on a friendly station (long story), and did some high-stakes gambling on a posh casino station (in the line of duty, of course). The graphics are somewhat chunky, and the flight model, while satisfying, is nothing like Elite, but it's just a great time. It took a couple of starts for us to figure out what the hell we're doing, but that was part of the fun, and I'm looking forward to it next session.

"I never took the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?"

I liked the old design, it reminded me of a Miranda Class.

this game seem very cool played a bit of the demo and hope their a new update so the rooms feel less empty.

I hope there's an opening on your ship for a world class barista?

Curious if they would consider down the road allowing for more than 1 ship in the verse. Allowing for competing sides to play it out. Granted the player cap is also something I am interested in hearing about. If I missed it talked about please forgive me, got 1/4 through the video and had to post.

Oh i know someones going to make a star trek mod for this...........and i cannot wait!!!!!!

**throws money at screen**

I hope it ends up being as chaotic as SS13

I think this is pretty cool, but I have one issue. The ship feels... kind of like a luxury hotel? And I don't know, Something about the opulence of it feels out of place. Otherwise this is extremely cool!

Will this have NPC crew

When they have different ship types. That's what i'm gonna buy in but I am enthusiastic about it.

So if a million people buy the game there will be a million people on one ship?

I'm curious how griefers will be handled in this game This sounds like a game ripe for antisocial types trying to ruin the experience for others
