I'm still only in sector 4 (out of 12 in total?), and the game is getting a bit stale already (the gameplay loop is pretty basic) and I'm abusing the manual save quite a lot
The RNG has XCOM tendencies, often failing with 90% success chance
The numbers don't decide, the system is a lie. The river running dry, the wings of butterflies.
And you may pour us away like soup. Like we're pretty broken flowers.
We'll take back what is ours. One day at a time.
I'm only on sector 3, and I'm quite enjoying it so far. I also did savescum a bit, but mainly just to see what different choice outcomes get you. It was really surprising that you can lose major characters to story events, or even get non canonical ones to join the crew. Basic story presentation, but it's really faithful to the show. Mature, and at least trying to be smart. Combat is lousy, though. Confusing and shallow.
You can lose the entire main cast (except Janeway), if you're not careful
I'm in sector 8, still enjoying it. It's a rather shallow game, to be honest. I almost maxed out the tech trees and I think the game has 15 or 16 sectors? So about halfway.
But it's nice to see where the story is going.

I'm back to savescumming. Some things are just not well thought of. Like, I've converted my Voyager into a massive freighter so I can stock it up with various minerals. Level 2 Cargo Bay, Borg babe! I go to an event, get lucky with RNG (that can kill a few of my crew members, crash a shuttle, or get me in a fight, if I roll the dice wrongly), then I lose more than half of my reward, because I forgot to turn on power on my storage rooms. That's just not logical.
I'm playing on normal, and it's not an easy game. Some of it is fair difficulty, some is just questionable designs.
Man, I really must praise roleplaying in this game. It's a mini rpg with decisions that actually do matter. I've recruited Torark, a predator like villain of the show in a very fringe and surprising route of a sidequest. I thought that he'll be like the rest of non canon recroutable NPC's, that do nothing. Not this guy. First, he asks me to research and build him a Borg Cutting Beam room, then he starts a fight club on my ship. I'm pretty sure that you can even do a psycho Janeway route.
I am sure they chose Voyager not based on the number of fans or quality of written characters / content / writing, but only based on the fact that the captain is Janeway.
Ah... that Janeway...
A much more 'regular', unremarkable, often annoying, normie coffee drinker captain that has no taste for fine writing, fine arts or fine elegance.
I know Picard might be overused in entertaining, so I would have proffered - so much more - a badass Sisko instead of this...
I liked this little game. A Deep Space 9 sequel would be pretty awesome indeed.

Well, she IS an American after all. While the rest of the world has millennia of culture the United States has only been a country for 250 years. My city is over 700 years old after getting it's charter in the very early 1300's. There were settlements around where I live for thousands of years before that.
As for DS9 vs Voyager... I liked perhaps ~30-35% of the episodes while I felt the rest fell quite short compared to the "lesser" TNG episodes. The strong focus on religion was annoying, esp. towards the last 2 seasons with Sisco going Messiah on us.
Voyager was more like TNG albeit nowhere near as good. I didn't like Janeway at all but I was okay with most of the crew. The show tried hard to be TNG v2.0 but it wasn't even close. I still enjoyed the show more than DS9 (for said reasons).
As for this game; I played the demo and I was bored to tears after ~2 hours or so. It looked and felt like a budget game that should've been sold at ~€9.99 at most.
