"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them." -Thomas Marrone
When are you guys going to fix the whole "no music until combat" bug? It feels weird playing in silence until you fight something, especially since some missions dont have combat at the very beginning.
Well written! VERY creative twist on the original, and a great desgn and setup.
On that note...
We need some serious attention on the mission eligibility for the Officer Reports, to make sure other good missions get a chance, though. I have one that is 11 reviews in yet still being disqualified despite players' reported run times of approximately an hour. I know of other players in the same boat. The author's testing runs have got to be pulled out of the run-time calculation; it's unfairly hurting many authors' missions.
