It is about being a capatin of your own ship and the exploration of planets, seeking new life in distant parts of the galaxy. That is the game itself. Yes, there will be conflicts, battles in space, quests, pusszles etc, just like in any game. And, just like history: enemies become friends, friends become enemies. Just give it a damn chance people. Deal with it! (That is why I don't like hardcore star treks fans) I can't wait to play it because I know it will be great! OMG!!!! Don’t you people know anything about the game itself?

You people can keep saying things like this, but still no one is suggesting PLAUSIBLE alternatives for a video game! I'm sorry, but most episodes of TOS would make lame video games. Besides, you're all jumping to hasty conclusions and failing to see the whole picture (like hard-line Trek "purists" always do). Comment #46 makes a very good point. All the best episodes about stopping or avoiding a war had FIGHTING in them. What makes you all think that the main plot running through the game won't be trying to find a way to END the war? “When it’s all about warfare it ceases to be Star TREK and becomes Star WARS.”

A la 'Balance of Terror'? Or Kirk versus the Gorn Captain in 'Arena'? Or the land based fighting Kirk and Spock did on Organia to avoid war with the Klingons in 'Errand of Mercy'? To say one must have a war to have opportunities for fighting in a video game are unimaginative and narrow-minded. I am still waiting for the ultimate Trek game, in which players create their own person, choose a field (command, Engineering, Science, Security), go to the academy and then start out as a lowly Ensign, working your way up to Captain. Exploring strange new worlds, negotiating treaties, all in the TOS universe. What about fighting to prevent a fight? A la ‘Balance of Terror’? Or Kirk versus the Gorn Captain in ‘Arena’?

Each planet you go to should have it’s own puzzle, it’s own quest. The early planets should be the lower levels. Sure, some would require blasting your way out. But others, the majority, should be about solving the motivations of the aliens and discovering your foes. Knowledge should be your power-ups." Now THERE is a game I would be interested in. Actually exploring strange new worlds and new civilations. Imagine that...what a novel idea for a game based off of Star Trek...too bad the gamer programmers didn't think of it. Klingon war indeed...blech! # 28 “You should gain levels through discovery. Each planet you go to should have it’s own puzzle, it’s own quest. The early planets should be the lower levels.

Really? Is there no new idea out there for the Star Trek universe? How about some of the other races go at it for awhile, and leave the Federation the hell alone? I'm just tired of the Klingons I think. Tired of wars involving them. It's dull and overdone. Man, another war with the Klingons? Really? Is there no new idea out there for the Star Trek universe?

It's called "The War Against the Chtorr" and tribbles are a part of invading alien ecology. :-) #8: Well David Gerrold already wrote it.
