I'm interested but I have no idea what this actually is, after reading the whole page. > You can play it as part of a larger event, or with your friends in your living room. So this is a video game with couch co-op? > part of a larger event There's an online mode? > The USS Voyager Mk II Is this a simulator that requires you to be in that room from the picture? --- Is this like Space Station 13?

It's a networked video game. If you're in the living room, folks are expected to bring their own computer. Each computer maps to a station on the bridge of a spaceship, like navigator or tactical. The hope is that the game can be hosted over the internet through port-forwarding or on a VPC. That "part of a larger event" is actually in reference to running the game over a LAN at a convention. The USS Voyager is a physical bridge simulator in Utah, USA that uses the Thorium Classic software, the precursor to Thorium Nova.

  I still don't understand how the game is driven itself, maybe this is more for people who are already familiar with bridge Sims? Do you purchase campaign models and then have a virtual dungeon Master interact with all the players to present scenarios in more of a DND style? Or is this kind of stuff automated and there are levels that are connected to the bridge sim? EDIT: never mind I read the article itself, I don't know how early in development this is but some kind of demonstration would go a long way towards promoting this project even if the demonstration is bare-bones and impromptu.
