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.
- throwaway675309 4y agoI 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.
