TREKKIES! (no insult intended) HEED MY CALL!

[Sledgehammer427]

so...im on the market for a Star Trek game (blame the movie...suppressed trekkie for 6 years)

I like kinda big kinda not-so-big with lots of micromanagement...possibly fleet control?

I'm lost, and I haven't played one of these games at all, so please, help?

(2 or 3 trekkie ive seen, KP is the first.) lol
All the trekkies are comeing out of there closets.:o

[antikristuseke]

The sooner they come out of their closets the sooner we Babylon 5 and/or Battletech fans get to egg them.

[Zachstar]

The issue is ST fans are not taken very seriously anymore by the Video Game makers.

The best you can do is Star Trek Bridge Commander with one of the mega mods out there for it. Its not great but it is something.

[NeonSamurai]

Virtually all the games have been crap and there haven't been many at all recently.

Out of the ones I've tried I've always liked Starfleet Command 2 and 3, even though the dynaverse is pretty buggy (like time stopping in where nothing gets made, and ships stop moving and attacking on their own on the strategic map).

The only thing I know of on the horizon would be that star trek mmo

Star Trek : Bridge Commander + Kobayashi Maru mod = win

There was a fanmade Babylon 5 game.

For a fanmade game, it has some EXCELLENT production values. Still in progress.

Star Trek Armada II
Star Trek Fleet Command III

Star Trek Bridge Commander was awesome, easily one of the best ST games I've played

[kiwi_2005]

Startrek fleet Command 1,2 & 3 are pretty good i personally liked 1 out of all of them. 1 & 2 is of the old Star trek where 3 is of the next generation 'The borg' etc. 3 had slightly better graphics and toned down interface for new players to the game which IMO completely killed the series, maybe that's why there's never been a 4th.

I seccond that one. It's exactly what you're looking for ! :up:

[NeonSamurai]

I liked SFC1, it was a good game, but imho 2 (with the pirates) was the best, SFC3 was also a lot of fun. 2-3 were (and I think still) great semi massive multiplayer games. People still play both of them online to this day last I heard.

As for bridge commander, I have to say that I played the demo, hated it, and went back to SFC 2 at the time.

There are a lot of sick people in this world.:D

[FIREWALL]

This is where you have a Geeky friend who has these games hidden under his bed to lend to you. :har:

[Sledgehammer427]

haha, actually one of them lent me his copy of Starfleet Commander 3, and im finding bridge commander

[FIREWALL]

Seriously, they sound kinda kool. :yep:

Wouldn't mind seeeing some screenshots.

Starfleet Command 2 is my personal preference for that series, and it's probably the best 'ship centered' Trek game. That said, it's based on Star Fleet Battles more than Star Trek, and some Trek fans seem to have a certain intolerance for that.

Oldies but goodies to dig up are Star Trek: 25th Anniversary or Star Trek: Judgment Rites. That's only if you like adventure games, though.

[Kapitan_Phillips]

Fleet Management styles you cant go wrong with the Starfleet Command series or Armada. If an FPS is what you want, go for Elite Force or Elite Force 2 (there is actually a total conversion for Elite Force that turns it into an RPG that you can play online, its called RPG-X)

Bridge Commander is one of my favourites, with the Kobyashi Maru mod; but be careful if you have Vista, I've had a couple of problems with it.

Also, try and dig up the old Starfleet Academy game. Its a space combat orientated one, but with other aspects, like crew interaction and "WWCKD".

Star Trek Excalibur is a fanmade project that is ongoing, but there is no fixed release date. I sort of want a Silent Hunter style game in the Star Trek universe, but I doubt that is on the cards.

[Oberon]

Star Trek Online is looking quite promising :yeah:

I have Star Trek: Klingon Acadamy and it is an excellent game. I found and performed the CD to DVD mod so you do not have to swap out the CD's all the time. It is the one that I always re-install when I rebuild my system.

SFC3 with the generation Wars mod ROCKS. You can play just about ANY ship from ANY of the era's of trek.

Here is the rundown of the Star Trek games I have.

Star Fleet Command 1,2, & 3
Star trek Armada 1 & II
Star Trek : Starfleet Acadamy (the original version, not that wimpy 3 disk version abridged version)
Star Trek : Klingon Acadamy
Star Trek : Bridge Commander

[Hellcat]

Well there's a few to choose from but they're getting a bit long in the tooth.

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary
Star Trek: Judgment Rites

-Both are excellent point and click adventures but are low res and dos, they run using dosbox however.

Star Trek: Klingon Academy

-Always thought this one was better than Bridge Commander but your mileage will vary.

Starfleet Command 2

-Absolutely rocks, my fav of them all not just because I'm more of a fan of the original series but the complexity of this game keeps me coming back. If you can get a LAN game going of this you'll be in for a good time.


Oh and for your guys info as far as I know Starfleet Command 4 has been in development for a while now by the Dynaverse guys.

[Tachyon]

Star Trek : Starfleet Academy (PC version) :D

Sure, it's not the best ST game, but it has Kirk, Sulu and Chekov in live action :) . And a host of amateur actors , with you as one of them.

I found the combat a bit frustrating though, it was really weird that Phasers were quantized (i.e like those laser weapons in star wars and not a continuous stream). But, the game was actually fun despite it's numerous flaws.

[Sledgehammer427]

I got Bridge Commander, and Kobayashi Maru, problem is, I cant talk to my XO and she will randonly relieve me of command...schizophrenic XO?

anybody else have that problem?

[Tachyon]

Not me, are you running the latest version of the KM mod? Why don't you check their website?
