So, I'm downloading this game from a decade ago (Because my retail copy requires Steam to be installed, and fuck me if I'm installing that), when it just hit me that I don't think I can ever recall there actually being a thread talking about /strek/ games. I know people keep talking about Star Wars, but what about the other "biggest" sci-fi franchise out there? I remember hearing that the Elite Force games were good, as well as the "25th Anniversary" DOS game, but what about the rest of the games that are out there?

The Elite Force games were good in that most licensed games suck ass. People like saying Klingon Academy is good.

If I understand it right, the one Star Trek game actually involving ship combat that ever seemed to be worthwhile is the 20 year old Bridge Commander. That's based on what I'd heard about ten years ago. I did manage to get a copy but for whatever reason never got into it. It was supposed to have a decent mod scene back when, but I have no idea what it's like today. The TNG point-and-click game had, if I remember right, a fairly intricate ship combat module that was used I think twice in the game, if that. I remember vaguely that it was an okay adventure game, but was a little buggy and unintuitive. Frankly, though, talking about Star Trek these days just depresses me–they finally get out of the reboot and revisit the era I actually enjoyed, and it ends up being trash. I didn't exactly have any expectations, but you can be disappointed without having expectations all the same. As far as video games? As you more or less implied, most of them are bad to different degrees. Nowadays all the fans of the series are old and clunky and it's unlikely that anything good will ever come of it–the alternative was to go the Star Wars route and get the occasional bright spot before the series disappears into the bland pop cultural porridge of appealing to normalfags. I mean, having said all that I absolutely admit that my nostalgia for 80s-90s Star Trek is nostalgia and nothing but that. Fortunately, the old episodes are still around if I want my fix of beige walls, plastic models blowing up, and technobabble.

Tell me OP, if you aren't a newfag why have you never seen a thread starting with Gul Dukat asking why there are no good Star Trek games?

I had lots of fun with Star Trek: Armada back then. It was a hilariously unbalanced RTS (Absurdly resilient structures, Borg were completely OP, artillery was race-locked, …) but the atmosphere was amazing, probably because it used the original VAs. ST:A2 was much better as a game, but felt sterile in comparison. I think you have to fuck around with system settings or wrapper programs to play it nowadays though.
