SGJ Podcast #155 – U.S.S. Enterprise, Star Trek Licensing and More

Hey friends, welcome to this episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast! This week, Jim, Hunter and I welcome back Paul Weston to talk about his virtual U.S.S. Enterprise which was recently taken down by request of Paramount. If you’re keeping track, we had Paul on back on episode 20 (nearly three years ago! Dayum!) to talk about this project before it was yanked away from all of us. We talk about where the project was before it got pulled down (around 99% done), licensing issues in general, why there’ve been no good original series Trek games since Judgement Rites and more. Also, I have to apologize for the audio at the beginning of the episode, I forgot to push the push-to-talk button (something I’m getting used to) so it’s quiet for a bit because I was talking, but no one could hear me. :/ Sorry about that.
