I don't see how it was ripped from star trek NCC 1701.

Their first game in the series was Anno 1503, followed by Anno 1602 and now Anno 1701. See the pattern? They just added 99 years to each game (1503 + 99 = 1602, 1602 + 99 = 1701).

Mere coincidence

I actually enjoyed the demo for this. I'm not usually one for city building games, but I had fun playing this one, though it was a bit of a pig on my system. I've got so much other stuff to play right now though, I'll probably wait until the price drops a notch.

If you like city building games and want to try one in a different setting, it's worth checking this one out.
