Testimonials |
 I've always held the Galileo close to my heart, it is one of those simms that makes you feel more like a family and the people you meet you'll remember for a lifetime. That sort of simm only comes once in a lifetime and requires a certain amount of TLC from its GM and crew. #GalileoProud. | I'm usually quite picky when it comes to choosing a SIM I want to write on. A lot of different factors go into my choice, including things like community building, a strong focus on story elements, and an emphasis on character development that doesn't feel restricted. Galileo has all these things in abundance. |
| I’ve been simming since something like 1998, and I’m heartbroken that I didn’t find Galileo until May of 2012. Aboard no other sim have I found such a high quality of posting activity, writing talent, diverse characters, variety of missions, and players that are both eager and welcoming. Galileo is one of a kind. | My favourite thing about the Galileo is the scope of writing it allows for. When you've been writing on Trek sims for a while, there's a danger that missions can become stale. But we cover such a wide range of sub genres within our mission arcs that it's perfect for writers who really want something to get their teeth into. |
