Explore a 1:1 scale Milky Way in a meticulously designed Starship alone or with friends. Try the tech demo on Steam, run through the cold and dark startup tutorial then find cool things in space. It's already a lot of fun in its barebones state.

They either have a Star Trek license and can't say so yet, or they are going to be sued into oblivion.

The ship is really Star Trek looking, truly, but it's getting replaced with a much less infringy looking one. We can all see this is the off brand version of the Star Trek game we wish we had, but they are very safe from a lawsuit. Once you get into it, you see enough of a difference that it's riffing on Star Trek, certainly, but it's still enough of its own thing. The new ship will really do this game a lot of favours in setting it apart instead of leaning into it.
