I heard it was some license loophole from some other product that had a perpetual license, something from the original technical manual or something? This is an odd situation and I'm just curious how this happened. |
Don't quote me, but from what I understand, the game's creators were actually on good terms with the people who licensed "Star Trek" stuff. Good enough that some of them actually played the game once or twice. That pretty much sealed the deal- some of the stuff in the game got declared "canon" and renewing the license became easy as pie.
That could all be urban legend, though.
And yet another word from our sponsors
