“A proper sequel to Birth of the Federation would’ve been preferrable, and after the disaster that was Legacy”

Bang. Thats what needs to be made. Where you start out with original series ships and get the new ones as your empire advances. Hot damn that was a good game.

It looks like a fancier version of Armada to me, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

“Build and Empire.” “Achieve Glactic Domination.”

Have the designers of this game actually seen an episode of Star Trek? Gene Roddenberry must be turning over in his grave.

lightyearmodels –
“Star Trek Bridge Commander is still the best Trek game to ever be released…….”

Right you are! Although 25th Anniversary and Elite Force are also entertaining. I had hoped that Legacy would mimick Bridge Commander’s style but with improved graphics. Unfortunately, the explosions look BETTER in Bridge Commander and the control style leaves much to be desired.

Conquest appears to fall into the same trap as Armada. Starships are not popcorn, they are built to last.

I also do NOT understand why they don’t make make an RPG adventure game for Star Trek. The upcoming MASS EFFECT game looks like a perfect template for what I’m talking about. Chart unexplored worlds, meet alien races, solve a galactic mystery. Star Trek has all the mythology for it. I’m simply baffled as to why it is not done.

I wonder if Bethesda owns the right to make games based on the new movie? Anyone know?

this reminds me too much of Star Trek Encounters… It was good, but I’d rather play a game that focuses more on what Star Trek is more about: exploration.

Don’t get me wrong, though, battles and action is great, but this just doesn’t have that Star Trek feel to it… it reminds me more of Star Wars if anything.

“Video game companies continue to NOT GET IT when it comes to Star Trek.”

Actually they do get it. They know that people want these kind of games, and they make it for them. Notice I didn’t say all people. People wanted starship combat games…they got em. People wanted a Trek FPS…they got it. People wanted a Trek RTS…they got it. People wanted a Trek 4X game….they got it.

I’ve enjoyed all of those games, but I do think it’s time to look at doing something along the lines of the show again. Sort of an updated version of the 25th Anniversary game, but either first or third person in a true 3d environment.

I get the whole “Star Trek is not about combat” thing, but I have to say: Star Trek Voyager Elite Force” and “Star Trek Elite Force 2″ are my 2 favorite Trek games. those games did provide SOME character interaction. For me it was just cool to be able to walk down the corridors of Voyager and the Enterprise E. Definitely helped me get lost in the game.

Bridge commander was way cool too, especially with the voice recognition enhancement. Nothing like saying a bridge officers name and have them turn to you and say “Yes Captain?”

I also have great memories of playing “A Final Unity” back in the early 90’s. That game did allow for a lot of character interaction. I haven’t played it in years though because it won’t even work on the older computer I have running Windows ‘98.

If anyone out there has managed to get it to work, I’d love to hear how you did it!
