Actually it is just a new board game system that uses a triple dial system designed to look just like a controller for a video game console. The left dial is the 8 cardinal directions (diagonals are black with white outline though), the middle is a dial from 0-9 with 10 different colors and the right is a 4 selection dial of different letters and colors (A,B,C,D

Runewars is already isingva two dial system (maneuver + action/modifier) ... its an okay system, but really, it boils down to what information you need to display and keep.  These things are great when you only have one iterationto keep track of (ie, this turn) - it doesn’t work so well for armadas Dial Stack for Command

Yeah you almost need like another pivot joint so you can keep 1 dial hidden or something like that. The stack dial command seems to work against the large ships more than for (but that just might be the 6 turn limit of armada games.

If there was a Star Trek version using Armada movement system, I can see something like this for dials.
