Stellaris is the great space opera simulator I have wanted at several points in my life, normally after watching a random episode of Star Trek.
A long time ago, in space the final frontier…
The future in Star Trek is great – possibly the only ultimate realisation of a utopian society, yet still with a fleet of ships equipped for battle when those lines of communication aren’t always clear on the first pass.
With Stellaris, my mantra started out as What Would Jean-Luc Picard do? (WWJLPD)
The main thing Stellaris taught me = I am not Jean-Luc Picard.
