I haven't seen anything about it and I think it sucks.
That's my attitude with modern entertainment.
Now I presume that any movie, game or series that comes out is absolute shit, until I'm proven otherwise.
No idea, but i just googled the game... main poster, white woman on front, mixed mexican dude on the back close to her (oh, how subtle, but don't worry, they are starting to make white dudes with black women because that shit getting resisted too much)... googleed the company that made this game, and they are a "diversity and inclusion" circle jerking mess, openly bragging about it and all.
it's a clear cut woke trash, no doubt. (and the shills are sucking it hard, so more confirmation i think.)
Also, this is the company that made Fortnite, that when the fucking floyd overdosed, they put that commie bastard martin luther king on the middle of the online event talking all his commie trash on a video, so every kid gets indoctrinated... and don't even start about all the effemenite male characters, transvestite characters, and all that shit... so is logical that they make woke trash games with feminism on it, they probably did before.
My aproach to shit like this is... check the company social media, check the ads, check the interviews, check who is in charge, producers, actors, etc... and if it quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.
If the main character of a Star Trek game is female, the answer should be self-evident. It's no coincidence, it's all politics and the entire game most likely sucks.
I """played""" the whole thing. Overall, I don't recommend it and definitely don't pay money for it. Some thoughts:
• MC isn't really a MS, but everyone around her is a dipshit. The first two characters you meet, an extremely minor character and an extra, introduce themselves by explaining how the one doesn't like flying (in space) and how the other can't read an airport map.
• The only White, human men are the captain and Will Riker. Nearly the entire background cast is black, to the point of distraction.
• The "gameplay" is genuinely miserable.
• The first two acts are actually interesting stories. Act 1 sets up a low stakes diplomatic conflict, a logistics issue, and the supremely interesting idea that you are walking onto a ship where the captain and command staff have lost trust in each other. As first officer, you are the bridge between these two groups, so them not working together makes your job nearly impossible.
Act 2 is the terror of an unstoppable first contact from Best of Both Worlds mixed with the zombie invasion of a ship from the First Contact film. It's not literally the Borg, but very similar. It was fine, but the Borg have been reused to death since VOY. I would have preferred to see the diplomatic crisis be the whole game.
Act 3 saw you save the galaxy. Nearly every interesting character dies.
• The characters are awful and their responses to your choices are childish. At one point, you have to choose a second officer (because the chain of command doesn't exist, I guess) and whoever you don't choose will bitch you out, including the character who has been helpful and extremely by the book up to that point. The security chief chick acts like a mary sue, even though she can get blinded or killed by her actions and your responses to them. In my playthrough, she quit in a huff right before a big battle because I chose not to xenocide a species in suspended animation, as she had requested I do, then she strolled back onto the bridge during the battle, announced she had returned in my hour of need, and got mad when I told her "great, sit down."
I liked the captain, the grumpy science officer, the ops officer, and most of the aliens. The playable petty officer was ok. The rest of the cast were whiners. The captain gets taken out at the end of act 2 to make way for the player to be captain. While he doesn't directly get character assassinated (which I fully expected and was surprised he made it a far as he did), removing him sidesteps the crew's trust issue and means there are no human White men on the ship (apparently).
There's a mod for Sins of a Solar Empire called Star Trek: Armada III that just finished development a year or so ago. I can recommend that, though Sins is one of my favorite games to begin with.
I would say to support Pinball FX instead, but after hours of downloading it, it crashed my PC so hard that even Ctrl-Alt-Delete wouldn't work. Had to do a HARD reboot.
Pinball FX is a scam imo, or at a minimum not worth spending money on, any of their recreations can be played with better physics on VPX (entirely free) and their original tables tend to be goofy and midtier.
How are you installing VPX? Through the all-in-one installer on VPForums or some other way? Also, you can’t put it in the program files folder (not entirely sure why I just know that always causes people problems), so just put it in the top level directory of C or D or wherever
Bit of a tangent but are there any good ST movies? I like TOS and TNG and recently saw The Voyage Home and The Undiscovered Country and they were both mediocre af.
No progression allowed, you aren't allowed to even form your own opinion of the character - every other character needs to tell you how you need to feel about them

Neat username, Pilot.

Just looked at some images of the game, why does it look like it came out for the PS2?
That, too. And the MC's walk cycle looks weird in the sections where the camera isn't directly over the shoulder.
Check out Star Trek TNG by Williams (pinball):

After playing for five minutes.
And VPX does the same thing.
This PC does not want me playing pinball.

It's in a folder with all my other emulator folders, why?
Doom is all dark and yellow, too. Source-port Doom.
I’m not entirely sure why, but something about having it in a sub folder messes up permissions and pathways:

Read that for more details or just dragndrop the folder to the top level and try it, chances are that was your problem
Star Trek ended on an unfortunately sour note with Captain Archer, not sure where you're finding these weird knock-offs.
Man, that ending sucked. Just as the show was gathering momentum.

I don't see how you can be a fan of TOS and not like those movies?
To me they didn't have the feel of a ST ep, and the plots of those 2 I mentioned were pretty shallow and formulaic and some of the acting was cringey.
I don't know why you're being downvoted- you're correct lol
They can be fun watches but they scream mass appeal and this is pre-disney
No flaws allowed. That's sexist, don't you know.
