Thought I would make a discussion thread for the new game since I didn't see one up. I haven't picked it up yet, was planning on getting it this weekend. I'm curious what any Trekkies who've also played Stellaris think of it. Is it worth getting?

The only thing that has me frozen is Stellaris has so much, and Infinite has 4 factions to pick from. What is the bonus of buying this over just downloading the Star Trek mod for Stellaris? Other than that it looks great, I like the inclusion of popular Star Trek characters, it looks like a reskin of Stellaris which imo is not a bad thing. It looks interesting, but I would have preferred far more faction choices.

Playing Devils advocate, it looks like they put a lot of flavor and assets into each of the playable factions which is why there is a limited selection. Still more would have been better. I can understand the decision to keep the Borg as an AI controlled faction, but Stellaris already has mechanics that fit the Ferengi well.

Its also 30 dollars and not at full price, so I wouldn't cry foul too much. Thats cheap nowadays for a game.
