No STO, WTF

Star Trek: Invasion for PS1 was a very tight dogfighter game with original voiceovers from Michael Dorn and very fun multiplayer and story mode. One of my favourite PS1 games.

The tng game for genesis and snes was so awesome. Closest thing to being in an actual episode. Geordi and datas night vision was great. As was having troi getting phaser'd on away missions

>>27856

and rightfully so

>>27886
It released as a piece of junk. But I think its turned into a pretty good game especially considering its F2P.

>>27886

glad you enjoy it. I agree it was released as junk and has seen some improvement since then. but imho its still a bad trek game and an especially bad mmo.

to each their own. I still log-in from time to time for some space pvp, but with carrier spam, c-store console spam, and broken mechanics, I find myself doing that less and less.

Im more surprised SFC:Orion Pirates or Armada II didnt make the list.

I have a review of 25th Anniversary on PC:

*whump* GOD DAMMIT SPOCK I WAS TEN SECONDS AWAY FROM THAT CURE! SUCK IT UP! Fuckin' Romulan level.

>>27838

>TNG A Final Unity -- Basically Star Trek 25th Anniversary with the TNG cast, unfortunately I have never played it due to the fact it is exceedingly rare and very hard to get running even with DOSbox.

I recently got this to run perfectly on windows 7 using DOSbox and these instructions:

I bought it back when it came out. One of my favourite ST games. It feels just like an actual episode.

What you know about Wintrek? I spent so many hours on my Grandma's PC when I'd go visit here. She was running Window's 3.1 into the late 90's.

>>28688

>Wintrek

fuck yeah

Starship Creator.

Simple game to kill a few hours with.

I like Star Trek games that rip off other games.

ST:TNG Birth of the Federation which is basically Master of Orion

And Star Trek Armada which is basically every RTS game since AoE.

I find it really sad that most of the Star Trek games focus on space flight rather than planetary exploration. When will we get a good open world fps/3rd person Star Trek game with character customization and shit? I don't want to play fucking Eve or Micromanagement Simulator 3000, I want to god damn explore the galaxy with my own eyes and not some space-view of a tin can floating around.

Too many posts to reply to, but a quick STO opinion.

I got suckered into the hype and preordered it, but never even played past the first month. It was hilariously buggy and was more of Trek-skinned space combat sim with godawful ground combat.

Having tried it again, im enjoying it more than I did before. The ground sections are still pretty bad, but the ship combat remains entertaining enough. It still doesn't have that exploration and diplomacy spirit, but the whole player-made missions thing and some of the "story" lines are enough to get a fix. That, and im a sucker for crew customization.

Oh god that was way longer than I expected I apologize

Star trek online.


Prepare your arguments, I am ready.

it's a shame that there will never be a ST title as good as any run of the mill star wars game

STO is definitely the most ambitious ST game, but for me it would go:
Star Fleet Command Series
STO
Armada Series

BOTF > all

>>31245

STO, ambitious? please do tell

>>31256

>>31266
And based on the fact Riker's image is flipped in this picture... he's saying that to himself in the mirror.

>>31265
MMO's by nature are extremely ambitious in game design. But other than that its got the biggest combination of land and space combat features in any ST game. It's story is pretty big too, as long as any normal star trek game and longer than most.

DICKS EVERYWHERE

DICKS EVERYWHERE

>>31284
moar

>>31277
Speaking of STO, is this bundle worth buying? I'm thinking if it could finally be my ticket into the game, since I've been thinking "I'll try it someday" for the longest of time now... http://store.steampowered.com/app/9908/

>>31309
Its a great bundle, do it, the ship is a beaut.

>>31309
The starter pack and the Streamrunner are going to be obsolete after a couple days playing. Just go through the game free until you hit the level cap and save your money for some end-game items.

>>31317
>>31328
Hmm, as I've never played the game, it's difficult to judge these things. I don't mind paying for stuff (I actually bought the game when it was retail) but I also don't wish to buy useless things... so perhaps I'll hold off, for now. After all, Steam sales come and go.

>>31329
Mark II equipment is very low level equipment. You'll only be using it from levels 2-10. The tier-1 Streamrunner is in the same boat. The only real benefit is the tier-5 Streamrunner, which is good, but there's better out there. For $10 you might find it worth it, but it's not necessary.

/r/ more "mission failed" screens from star trek games. Picard looks so pathetic in them, I can't stop laughing.

>>31329

>I don't mind paying for stuff (I actually bought the game when it was retail)

Guilty, too. Hell I even went all in and bought a TOS Constitution-Class and an Excelsior as well. Both served well in the earlier levels, and a decent buy to me. Then again, maybe I'm just a sucker for TOS.

>>31334
Unfortunately the only other "game over" scene is the Enterprise pulling into a Starbase. You get that one if you let too many redshirts die. If you let too many senior officers die, you get the one with Picard crying. To get the one with him on a slab well.......

I think the first Trek game I've ever played was DS9-Crossroads of Time and despite the difficulty and clunky controls I genuinely enjoyed it.
Elite Force was surprisingly good too. EFII started horribly and I was getting seriously bored with it until I was allowed to shoot at humanoids... then it became awesome. Still, the hunt for secrets was disturbing the gameplay and I couldn't get rid of that quake feel.
BoTF was dumb and unrealistic with all that upgrade bullshit and constant crashes. If I already know how to build lvl5 buildings why would you force me to start from lvl1 ones even in newly colonized planets? That's like building a house from mud, then rebuilding in from wood when I could've built it using bricks in the first place. At least there was a mod for this. Damn, I hate micro, predefined building rules would've been nice like in Master of Orion III.

1. Star Trek 25th Anniversary
   
2. Klingon Academy
   
3. Judgment Rites
   
4. Starfleet Academy
   
5. Elite Force 2
   
6. Bridge Commander
   
7. A Final Unity
   
8. EGA Trek (the first version, before Paramounted threatened to sue the author and he had to remove all references to the Trek IP)

Strangely the only one I've played is ST:O. I played for a good 10 hours but didn't feel particularly absorbed in it and uninstalled.

>Go to X system and scan 5 Y's
>Go to X planet and kill 8 Y's
>Go to X base and uplink 3 computers

Add some PvE grinding for dilithium and repeat ad nauseum. I wouldn't mind if the gameplay were fun but it's pretty standard MMO auto-attack fare that gets old the millionth time you press fire all weapons.

I'm going to check out some mentioned ITT because it's weird that I've never played any.

>>27881
That was so fun

New sto anniversary video pretty much confirms incoming romulan faction.

>>33120

did they every finish the klingon faction?

>>33129

ever*

>>33130
NO.

>>33129

No. The game is now owned by Perfect World and is therefore truly damned. The chances of STO being developed as anything other than a very typical low rent Asian Grinder are exceedingly slim...

>>28805

Reading my mind. I've always wanted some of that 3D, third-person exploration. Something mixed together like Phantasy Star Universe and Star Ocean though avoiding anime graphics and going for something realistic with the added on kicks of a Beat 'Em Up type. Smash some face, explore the universe, great plotline. I would buy the fuck out of it. nb

>>31328
it has 2 ships in it, the starter one and a endgame one thats is the best deal pricewise for endgame ships, to get anything in the same range needs around 3 times the real world money, at least

also the 'team fortress' console + power is pretty neat

Not a real game but a game I would LOVE.

It's like Europa Universalis. Basically, you can pick historical times in Trek, like TOS era, Praxis exploding, TNG, Dominion War etc. Or you can start at some early pre-Federation date and try to dominate the galaxy. You can pick any faction like, Romulan, Klingon, Federation, or smaller ones like Gorn or Tholians and try to change history. Additionally, you could pick the Borg or Dominion and conquer your quadrants in anticipation of the eventual meeting with the Alpha quadrant powers.

Each race would have its own profile, like the Klingons would be all about conquering and war but not very scientific or diplomatic and bad at espionage. Whereas the Romulans would be excellent at espionage and mediocre at the rest. And the Federation would excel at diplomacy, you get the idea.

I'm thinking you could do things like pre-federation choose Vulcan and form the Federation with them as the main species instead of Humans, and change things like that. Or even form the Terran Empire as the humans. Or play as Bajor and repel the Cardassians and then invite the Dominion in and ally with them to conquer the Alpha quadrant.

Of course, you'd need to make up a bunch of new species to conquer, or voluntarily join the Federation. And new events, anomalies and crises in addition to the ones we know in canon.

Crazy things are going through my mind with this. I want it so bad.

>>33307
Sounds perfect. Really wish we could be so lucky.

>>33120
All it indicates is something major involving the Romulans. Could just be a major featured episode series, or adding the Sela-led Empire as a reputation faction.

>>33134
I'd have to say that STO has had a marked improvement since Cryptic was bought out, but I guess anything's an improvement over Atari's bullshit.

>>33308
My mind is aflutter with insane cool shit you could do with this game.

Imagine playing as the Kazon, or Hirogen in the Delta Quadrant. Starting in the 2100s and building a huge empire (and possibly losing it instantly as the Krenim lol).

Or the Ferengi and use your vast resources to constantly play all the powers off of each other. Like if you're trading dilithium to the Romulans and Klingons and they're at war. You could cut off trade with whichever side is winning to even the odds and then resume trading with them to prolong the profits.

Or the Borg could get shittier if they assimilate shitty species, so picking and choosing who to assimilate and who to ignore would be a big part of their game.

I'm thinking there would be 6 basic attributes ranked 1-10 that make up a race's profile. 1) Science 2) Warfare 3) Technology 4) Espionage 5) Diplomacy 6) Trade.

The Federation would have 8, 8, 9, 2, 10, 2
Klingons 4, 10, 5, 5, 6, 5
Romulans 6, 8, 6, 10, 6, 2
Cardassians, 5, 7, 5, 9, 7, 7

ok thats enough thanks for indulging this stoned posting

>>33310

I guess at least Perfect World has figured out that people don't enjoy being almost literally buried in dropped suckerboxes. While I was playing I had a fire I put out drop a suckerbox. A Gods Damned FIRE. You could shoot down heavy plasma torpedoes and they would drop suckerboxes.

And while you were playing they constantly put up fly by messages in the middle of your screen yelling that someone had won shit from a suckerbox.

>>33307
I also had an idea for a Star Trek game, based around the Borg. You would control a cube, and move it around the galaxy assimilating planets and ships at a trade-off between advanced technology and stealth. Assimilating pre-warp planets would just net you a few crappy drones but not attract much attention, but assimilating Vulcan for example would set the whole federation on your ass but if you could pull it off would give you a massive advantage. You could expand the cube with new technology and order drones about to repair systems and board enemy ships etc. eventually becoming so powerful you can go full Wolf 359 if you play it right. The end goal being of course to assimilate the entire galaxy.

I tried to think of a way of making it without breaching copyrights or getting licenses but it'd be so damn obvious.

anyone remember Star Trek: Away Team? Cant remember If I enjoyed it or not, pretty sure I still have the og cd somewhere, gona dig it out and re-install.

>>33574
That looks like an upgraded version of the away missions from the TNG Genesis/SNES game.

>>33574

Apparently it's not that good.

Anyone played the Star Trek game for Wii?

>>33577
Eh. The reviews only look "decent," but that means it's probably good fun for a trekkie.

>>33574
they should do like "Lemmings" but "Red Shirts".
the redshirts just walk back and forth until you activate different horrible deaths in order to allow the rest to get to the transport sit

>>33307
You could play as the Andorians and, with a lot of luck and skill, conquer the Vulcans with the help of the Humans

>>33592
Exactly. You could do crazy things like that. Me wantie so bad.

I feel like Trek is such a wide variety of themes and ideas that most games just can't capture all of it so they feel empty. There have been a few good ones. I also think a game that's set up sort of like Mass Effect would work well too. You talk to your bridge officers for intel, go to planets, do away missions. Add in holodeck malfunctions for kitsch value and you'd have a really fun game. Oh and a good fucking story too.

Welp, gettin' mah necro bump on...

Star Trek Conquest for Wii is pretty fun. Its strategy with an arcade style battle mod for conflicts. Took a minute to get used to it, but pretty cool nonetheless.

I suggest putting it on HARD.
