Anyone else like those 90s space combat simulators? I loved Descent:Freespace and Freespace2 and would have loved a Trek themed one. Both those games had a great storytelling and fun gameplay (vid related).
Somewhere I have some old isos of the Wing Commander series as well as Starlancer and Freelancer but I haven't had the opportunity to play them. I also remember a series called X, X2, X3 etc but I don't know much about them. Anyone ever tried them and have any recommendations?

Wing commander is more star wars than trek. Freelancer is great but needs a lot of modding to fix all it's issues due to being cobbled together and rushed out the door after the main develper self destructed. Starlancer was okay. Not great, not bad, and it shipped on time and on budget, which is whole fucking lot more that Freelancer can boast. And the X series is very polarizing, people either love them or hate them for how the fun space sim aspects tend to turn into a trade empire building game halfway through.
As for more modern space games, you might enjoy Rebel Galaxy, the Startpoint Gemni series, or Evochron Legacy

The Escape Velocity series is a great 2D version of Elite or Freelancer. There's a decent open-source clone called Naev.
