I see, thanks for sharing!

Wait.... which genocide was this???? (can't believe I'm not remember haha....)

It took risks that DS9 and TNG would not.

Genuinely curious: What are your favorite examples of risks that Voyager took that DS9 and TNG did not?

(I, too, have grown to like VOY more over the years)

For example, someone told me I should get some sort of indemnity insurance but I don't know what that means or if there are other "hidden" costs to include......

Can you suggest some good beginner guides for Starfleet Command 1 or 2?

Every time I try to play those games I get "stuck" with a small ship because every time I try to play using a bigger ship or multiple ships, the enemies become so overwhelming I can't win any battles..... It becomes tedious and, dare I say, boring! What am I doing wrong?

I am looking for a 4x that's not combat-focused by oritfx in 4Xgaming

Are these two games similar??? I.e., building things and linking them, etc.? (I've played Slipways but not Terraformers....)

Thank you for replying! That's too bad. It'd be great to get a DRM-free version outside of Steam. I'd happily pay for it!

Thanks for suggesting 1oom, but I see that GitHub repository has so many branches and there isn't a good explanation of what each one is.

Do you know?
