Surprised no one's mentioned it, the game "Tomorrow War" is coming out this fall (in English), is going to wipe the floor with any and all space combat sims out there.

If they make ST:Online anything like that (which I doubt very, very much) it will rule.

Anyway as much as I like complicated and engaging sims that require time and dedication to learn and master, this kind of gameplay doesnt really pan out that well in any kind of MMO format, even EvE has realtively simple click on target - fire guns gameplay mechanics (not talking about the very deep tactical ship and fleet mechanics)




I have a nifty blue line!
