I am very happy for these folks, who spent 20 or so years tweaking an insanely complex, completely free game, and are now selling a deluxe version that fans like me can’t wait to buy.

In the B story, Bashir is nominated for a prestigious Federation medical award, yet he seems aggressively unenthusiastic. (Some good character bits, and…
