Myles,
True, it is RTS, but I was thinking more on the lines of Empire at War, or Rebellion even kinda like how/what those games did for Star Wars, but for Star Trek plus a little more development. Like conquering star systems, diplomacy and intelligence gathering lines. Not just battles, but battles that lead somewhere, and such. With characters that have character traits that improve certain abilities, production, morale etc.. (Like in the Total War games, where Generals/Governors have traits that either hamper, improve all kinds of things, like production, 'influence' in government, trade bonuses, or research bonuses and many other areas, which is like expanding the idea of the avatars but on a larger scale).
Yes it sounds complicated, and it could even lead to not just the original 5 powers, but others like the Breen being added as a faction down the road. It doesn't have to be a 5 player game but it could become really almost whatever the programmers want it to become. I just want to know if this idea is worth going down and exploring.
