Star Trek: Voyager – Elite Force: 4 Open Source Clones Compared

These three projects serve different purposes rather than competing head-to-head: Elite Reinforce is a singleplayer-only source port focused on bugfixes and speedrunning, with documented movement-physics differences from vanilla Quake 3; Lilium Voyager reimplements specifically the multiplayer 'Holomatch' mode, rebased in 2025 onto the newer Lilium Arena codebase, and still requires the original Holomatch data files; and RPG-X is a modified engine built to support the RPG-X2 mod by raising several of the original engine's hardcoded limits (entity count, model limit, message and gamestate buffers).
