How Deep Space Nine Changed Star Trek for the Better
When Star Trek: Deep Space Nine first aired a quarter of a century ago this year, it immediately earned the mantle of being the “odd one out” when it came to Star Trek shows. It’s easy to understand why: It was the first Trek not created by Gene Roddenberry, nor did it follow the voyages of the Starship Enterprise which the previous two iterations had. Indeed, it bucked the whole basic Trek premise of “boldly going where no one has gone before” in that it was set on a space station rather than a starship. No one would have been surprised if Deep Space Nine had failed.
And while it’s true that it never reached the ratings highs of The Next Generation, DS9 proved popular amongst fans and critics alike, with numerous pundits citing it as the best Star Trek series outright. It’s fair to say that Deep Space Nine has aged very well compared to some of the other Trek offerings, largely because the themes it explored, and its method of storytelling, were both ahead of its time. As good as The Next Generation became, and as ground-breaking as The Original Series was, for many fans Deep Space Nine is the pinnacle of Trek storytelling. Here’s why.
No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again Gets a Release Date
Rebel Galaxy Outlaw Revealed
Developer Double Damage has revealed Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, the follow-up (or rather, a "sort-of prequel," as the developers put it) to its acclaimed 2015 space combat game. The studio calls Outlaw "a blue-collar space combat adventure packed with outlaws, explosions, gleefully unrealistic spaceflight, and a hell of a soundtrack."
In Outlaw, you play Juno Markev, 34 years before the events of Rebel Galaxy. Markev left her life of crime behind until she got pulled back into the outlaw life.
ABOVE: Watch the awesome animated reveal trailer for Rebel Galaxy Outlaw.
Aiming for release in Q1 2019 on PC, PS4, and Switch, "Rebel Galaxy Outlaw features high-octane space combat, over 20 hours of subspace radio, side activities like billiards and dice poker, plenty of sketchy characters to meet, and sketchy jobs to take on. Nobody’s saving the universe around here - they’d settle for saving a couple of credits." Double Damage co-founder Travis Baldree said, "“We took what worked from the last title, and then went a little crazy. It’s got a stronger focus on story and place, a huge jump in detail, and while it still works great for folks with a HOTAS at home, I think we’ve managed to make space combat accessible and fun for everybody else in a way that nobody has managed before. We’ve got a lot more to share in the months ahead.”
