The Sunshine Empire

me: seriously though
I tweeted as much last night
why hasn’t someone created a star wars vs star trek video game?
Biggus: Out of fear that the violence would tragically spill out into the sci-fi conventions.
me: perhaps you’re right
Seriously though that would sell
The Federation vs. The Empire
The Trade Federation vs. The Ferengi
The Wookies Vs. The Klingons
Biggus: It would, but what are you going to do have a space battle simulator with the Empires and Rebels and what not taking on the various Star Trek races?
me: C3P0 Vs. Data
Biggus: And a fighting game doesn’t work unless you give the Kirks and Datas some kind of super powers.
me: Falcon punch
You could have a mix of both
Biggus: Honestly, I’d play my space battle simulator, done in a kind of Starcraft manner.
me: Star destroyers are larger and heavier gunned but a Starfleet ship would be quicker and more agile
Biggus: Right.
And the Klingons would have less fire power, but cloaking.
Individual leader units would provide various attributes to your foot soldiers, shit like that.
me: and the Rebel alliance would be the game’s Glass Joe
Biggus: I’d make the Rebels unplayable and have them as computer controlled annoyances.
me: or they could face the Maquis
that’s getting deep into Star Trek cannon
Biggus: Yeah, I have no idea.
me: http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Maquis
Biggus: You could include the old Republic with Jedi as your special units.
me: We should green light this
Biggus: I imagine someone has already tried to put something together. Also, neither of us knows how to program.
me: Dammit that’s right.
