Tbf mods always feel like they are just hacking and jury-rigging existing mechanics to fit a new theme (which they, well, are). If we can get proper support for ST-specific things like the neutral zone, warp drive-based maps rather than hyperlanes, larger focus on exploration or random anomalies, it could be interesting. It wont replace stellaris for me but it I can see ST fans preferring it over a (possibly janky) mod implementation… but this is all assuming the official conversion is not just as janky and limited by the old engine ofc.

You already have a Trek flavored version of Stellaris. It’s called New Horizons and it’s been around for nearly as long as Stellaris itself has.

How will you play Infinite? As far as I can tell it’s only on Steam.

Ah, my bad. Hopefully it’s successful enough to get a console port.

New Horizon is realy well made though.
It’s fantastic to boot.
It’s actually been a pretty good year for non-mobile Star Trek games, between this, Resurgence, and the Prodigy game, all while STO lumbers on.
