If this could keep away from being sued into the Gamma Quadrant by Paramount/CBS, it might be the Star Trek: Bridge Crew for the brand new decade. Starship Simulator is promising a completely simulated “Magellan Class deep house exploration vessel,” yours to discover and poke round at your leisure, after which fly round what they declare will likely be a “scientifically correct Milky Manner.” It sounds bloody marvellous, if they’ll pull it off.
