Are there any good star trek video games?
The only recent games that seem to give a space adventure feel is rebel galaxy. I haven't looked very hard though.
Space Rangers 2
Stellaris
Elite Force

Birth of the federation kicks stellar is in the ass to be honest.
>>338523640

Thats sort of what got me thinking about star trek. Star trek is more about exploring and discovery while stellaris is just a mining outpost building simulator.

>>338531503
Have you tried Starfleet Command? If so how does it compare to Bridge Commander?
>>338523497
This is not the proper format for star trek videogame threads and you know it op
>>338523497
While not exactly Star Trek, FTL is the best example of Star Trek like space combat I can think of in a game. Managing your power and targeting enemy systems and the like.
>>338532535
Independence War was a great USS Defiant Simulator.
Artemis Bridge Simulator is probably the best Trek game.
it's pretty fun with even just 2 people. you still need at least 3 screens.
>>338532050
>Gul-Ducat and Picard at Tanagra!
>>338526067
you arent Picard in Bridge Simulator. SFC is a better Klingon sim with how much fighting you do.
>>338532535
I agree, FTL is probably the best we can hope for.
>>338534336
I'd really like to play that but But I don't think I could round up enough geeks to do a proper session and I don't really care to play with random people from the internet.
Ok then, which is the better Starship Simulator then?

if you want to play as a starfleet ship commander.
Bridge commander is kind of like playing Artemis SP. you go around solving problems by telling the people at stations to do stuf.
it's a scripted game so the puzzles are the same every time. I think you can control it with voice command too.
SFC honestly plays like a Battle Arena game with you stats based on your crew. I remember it having loads of content but it's mostly combat and playing out wars.
This was surprisingly good and indepth for a gameboy game back in the day.
>>338535823
Bridge Commander sounds more like what I'm looking for then. Too bad it doesn't have some kind of dynamic content creation though.
>>338535656
>Had all those games as a child
>Big Box versions, always kept in mint condition

Sometimes I just want to throw myself out the window for doing that
>>338535962
I played that on the Game Gear. It was a strange mixture of genres and it was annoying frustrating and addicting. I didn't have a pc or a 16 bit console so it was about the best space ship game I could get.
I would have rather been playing Wing Commander or X-Wing at the time though tbqh.
>>338534696
like i said 2 people is enough for Han & Chewie style play.
bare minimum ive done was 1 dual screen laptop running 2 instances (Viewscreen/Server and 1 multistation) and an 1phone (2nd multistation)
you can solo and get a bit of an Okana vibe but it's not great.
>fucking up the star trek op
>>338536318
I mean yeah. But it was surprisingly more ambitious for a gb game and I thought it was a nice change of pace from juts playing platformer after platformer.
STO is pretty fun if you want space battles. Ground battles can still suck a dick, but they are better than at launch. Most of the stuff in game can be bought with in-game currency, and stuff from the shop is mostly cosmetic items. Stuff that aren't cosmetic items are alt-skin ships with some upgrades (like a bit more hull strength or an extra console), inventory/bank upgrades, and duty officers.
If you want to play, I recommend starting as a Romulan so you get warbirds (you get fucking awesome abilities that charge while in combat, such as a full shield heal + shield heal over time for 2 minutes, makes you nigh unkillable, or a huge PBAoE), you get to choose either federeation or klingons at around level 10, and can use their ships if you want. If you're to put any money into the game, maybe some inventory/bank upgrades, and a bunch of duty officer packs. Duty officers are NPC's that have different duties (engineering, science, tactical, etc.) and have different abilities, either space or ground. You can "equip" (add them to stations) and get their abilities, usually passive shit like faster torpedo recharge, or reduction in damage. You can also send them on missions in real time to get you crafting mats, new equips for your ship, or consumables.

>iPhone
I didn't know it was multi-plat
I might be able to convince some casuals I know if it's on a damn tablet or smartphone.
>>338536681
Yeah, STO is pretty good. One of the rare free-to-play games where you can actually play the game, progress and have fun without spending a penny.
>>338523497
I've read that Elite Force has some good mods.
>>338537007
Tactical captain with a cruiser master race. One torpedo in the front, one in the back, phasers/disruptors in everything else, slot turn radius consoles. Move in a figure 8 around teh battle field, pounding their shields with phaser fire, then unleashing torpedoes as you move around them. Figure 8 pattern to keep your shields healed up, tactical captain for advanced torpedoes and combat attack patterns.

https://youtu.be/TXGI7Mn70SY
DS9 has the best character development out of all of the series. Since the majority of the episodes prominently feature the station, they had to rely on the characters and episodes to make it work.
>>338538812

Did any of them make it to the playable stage of development?

There were so many really major and freaky things that were done once and then just ignored.
Like when a fucking transporter accident DUPLICATED Riker. There were two Rikers. Two actual proper Rikers who were both Riker. One stays on the Enterprise and the other goes off somewhere, I can't remember where. And it is never brought up ever again.
His goddamn duplicate is running around. And no-one seemed to care.
>>338539354

>>338538969
DS9 is one of the best televisions shows ever but arguably the worst trek.
>minimal exploration
>lots of petty friction between characters
>questionable morals
makes for a good show but lots of conflict with the original intention.
>>338539354
Remember when Picard got possessed by a shitty electricity effect and transported himself into the middle of an energy cloud, and then they just had the transporter clone a version of him that it recorded before he transported?
I noticed worf is in deep space 9. do a lot of character appear in multiple series?
>>338539240
>>338538985
>>338538812
This is just embarrassing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbgMxUd4_s0
>>338539354
Thomas Riker comes back in DS9, he joined the Maquis, steals the Defiant and turns himself over to the Cardassians and they lock him up
His son shows up in STO and explains he died on his prison planet long after the Cardassians abandoned it in the war
>>338539354
There's an entire episode of DS9 where Thomas Riker comes back. I believe he tries to fuck Kira.
Also, him pulling off the sideburns so he only had a goatee to show that he was the evil version was fucking hilarious.
>>338539784
That episode was on today on the syfy channel.
It was almost like the show tried to say that transporters murder the original and just create copies but never quite comes out with it openly.
>>338539765
Pretty sure that was the entire point of the show. TOS and TNG already cemented the direction of Star Trek, DS9 was the B-show that picked at all the underlying stuff. No point to have DS9 running at the same time as TNG and Voyager if it's just going to be the same as TNG and/or Voyager.
>>338539882
Only Worf and O'Brien were recurring characters on multiple series, although there are plenty of one-offs.
>>338539548
>>338540054

Universal Combat i think was the last full starship sandbox sim. might be fixed to playable by now.
I think BCM might be the most polished, since it was just an updated version of the earlier games.

Yeah I always got this vibe to. I would never fucking use a star trek transporter unless dying was the only alternative.
>>338540089
Star Trek transporters also transport consciousness but then apparently it turns out consciousness is also a thing you can make a digital backup of
Or just put on a computer for as long as you like while the body is a disintegrated mess, like that episode of DS9 where a bunch of the crew got processed into a holosuite program
>>338539882
>>338540112
Q is one of the other ones I can think of, he appeared in TNG, DS9, and Voyager. Riker also appeared in one episode of Voyager (also a Q episode), and Lt. Barclay is in TNG and Voyager.
>>338540050
i dont know, it's not that bad. there's a lot to do, just none of it has any bearing on anything.
it's pretty cool to fly to system, launch shuttles to do mining while you fly around destroying bases on another planet in a surface fighter....in theory.
>>338540823
They transported people without consent all the time.
Wasn't there an episode where some people had some sort of scramblers implanted so transporters couldn't get a lock on them? I would definitely have gotten one of those and kept getting it upgraded so no-one could ever transport me.

Because humans are supposed to be boring and aliens are supposed to be interesting. Even in DS9 all the humans amounted to "the angry guy", "the everyman", "the augment" and "Keiko"
Harry Kim's actor outright said the human actors on Voyager were supposed to act boring so the aliens could steal the show.

But the entire point of their religion and the religious characters was that it was factually incorrect and they were all zealots.
It's only when non-believers like Sisko or Cunt deal with the religion that it's painted in a favorable light, but at that point the message is just 'believe in a higher ideal that what might be realistic' which has always been a message of Star Trek.

Original Series had the strongest characters overall imo. Picard is the best captain though.
>>338545014
Keep in mind that in-universe most people still treated androids like shit. One scientist tried to have Data considered legal property so he could force him into a lab for study, then when Data created a daughter they tried to do the same with her too. Not to mention Bones himself and Scotty had similar attitudes upon realizing Data was an android.
Plus what a lot of people forget is she mellowed out later in the season. Had it not been fucked by a strike and had Pulaski stayed on she would've been much better received. As it stands, Crusher was just "there" and did nothing of value for 95% of the episodes.

>>338545534
I still think it was more for a tactical position in the quadrant as a base of operations for the federation, similar toIsrael for the US.
>>338545293
It wasn't inherently wrong to focus on the Prophets, even as much as they did. What was wrong was to turn Sisko in jesus and have him fight Dukat who had been possessed by fucking demons as they fall into fucking inferno.
At least Nurse Ratched fucking died there too.
>>338545410

That's because the writers were too chicken to do anything of consequence between Picard and Crusher and just stuck with the status quo.

>>338545538
well the thing about DS9 was that the term spinoff is an understatement, and in the best way.
All the other series were action/adventure/suspense stuff and then out of nowhere you've got DS9 which is a tense political drama, and its fucking great
>>338545410
Crusher was just there to be Picard's slut and explain how Wesley got a place on the bridge over fully-trained Ensigns.
Fucking nepotism. Completely against Starfleet ideals.
>>338544714
Roddenberry was still on his golden throne at this point and wanted to paint the ST universe (and not just the feds in general) as being this beacon of hope. The Enterprise-D reflects this philosophy in not being crewed entirely by pseudo-militant forces and having holodecks and shit.
Plus you have to remember that it was supposed to be a more relevant plot point that the saucer section could detach, and thus you could keep civilians out of fire and just send the other half of the ship into shit.
They also hung the lampshade thoroughly on this slightly naive approach when Q slaps them about for being hilariously underprepared for things like the Borg, and DS9 demonstrates that the Federation was trying to pretend the universe was scary after this by developing things like the Defiant (a cloaking spartan warship so overpowered it literally kept tearing itself apart) and Enterprise-E (take all the space they were using for civilian facilities and putting quantum torpedo launchers there instead)
TL;DR Roddenberry wanted to make you hope for the future, but the writers weren't afraid of showing the potential consequence of such naivety.
>>338545779
yeah, i bought it and my friend pirated it and he still joined my game. wait 5 ill get the version number for you

>>338544048
The Wounded? Nah not really, that episode wasn't so much about him as much as the captain of the other ship.
>>338545330
TOS characters outside of the main trio didn't really grow much of a personality until the movies, though. That said, they're great at that point.
I rewatched a good chunk of Voyager recently (first time since it was still regularly airing) and I feel like a lot more of the characters' potential showed through this time. Most of the issues really felt like the writers just not knowing how to properly handle them.
>>338545909
Again, you're missing my point. I don't mean to say that the themes and ideas and messages in the finale of DS9 are bad, whats bad was the execution.

Just wanted to say, threads like these are one of the reasons why I still come here. Star Trek threads, star wars threads, Tolkien threads, and a few others are the best ones on the board.

The fucking Big Bang Theory raised this point. I have met people who have brought it up then get freaked out when I give some examples.
Fake sci-fi tech is great fun to discuss but that show fucking ruined talking about teleporters.
What was the point of this ship?
Why not just build three ships? Did the Firengi ramp up the cost of warpcores or something?

Romulan star empire
>Vastly ahead in terms of tech, already have a wide and established empire before the humans even start farting out warp rockets.
>Utterly incompetent at preventing the rise of the Federation, spend their entire time devising new ways to surrender to the fucking Klingons, themselves crippled by genetically-modified skin cream that smoothed out their ridges, and constant infighting.
>Decide to have a war with the Federation without actually talking to anyone: Have cloaking devices the humans can't detect at all, better warp, more ships, better weapons.
>Don't take a single planet or territory.
>Don't just mass-nuke Earth from orbit
>Federation doesn't even make them surrender, just tells them to fuck off behind the fence.
>Require omnipotent energy beings to tell the Federation the 31st section of the Federation Charter makes it illegal to own niggers this hard, and tells them not to develop nukes.
>Great Romulan military victories in the following century:
>-That time they lost their entire space-CIA fleet in the Gamma quadrant to bad intel from a double agent.
>- That time they captured about 30 Klingons and keep -some- of them imprisoned for a few decades, only with multiple escapes and it being common knowledge where they were!
>- That time they had a fair 3-1 fight with a crippled, captainless federation ship and an already blown-up Klingon colony, winning the fight and losing the political battle forever.
> - That time they let section 31 rule a significant part of their government, being fooled by a ruse a federation doctor saw through.
> - That time their entire sun blew up.
> - That time they were tricked to death by Deanna fucking Troi.
> - That time they accidentally a war because a Cardassian Gardener rused them.
> - That time their customs and excise agents let 30,000 barrels of Romulan ale just slip into the entire Alpha Quadrant's hands.
Fucking Romulans.
>>338546357
Space threads in general tend to be pretty good. Simulation threads as well.
The original Mass Effect felt kind of like what would happen if TOS was made today, with a single-season with a persistent story arc. I could definitely see Kirk slugging an uppity reporter dancing on his last nerve or mediating a Three's Company situation when two of the women he's trying to seduce find out about each other.
>>338546903
>one of these is not like the others.
>>338547019
I heard the original plot for them in TNG was meant to be that they were under attack from the Borg from the opposite side, which is why no one in the Federation had heard from them in so long
They'd have most of their population dead but they'd also be massively more advanced because of all the tech they salvaged
>>338546987
Wow, I didn't know there was a Monsoon-Class.
Was there anything good about Star Trek: Enterprise?
>>338546987
it was cool
plus it would fuck up other ships in one-on-one engagements, element of surprise, etc etc
>>338547290
Season 3 was great
>>338547290
literally no
>>338547009
That basically describes Space Engine.
All look, no play.
Those poor miranda class starships
>>338547290
Eye candy
>>338547290
How about good potential in theory?
>>338547260
That would've been good. They had a massive empire. It would make sense them being kept busy by some bigger threat than the Feds and Klingons put together.
It would also suggest that the Romulans that were seen in the series were just the most incompetent ones that had to be kept well away from the important areas in case they fucked up everything.
>>338547495
They were really old ships. Starfleet really shouldn't have been using them anymore.
>Star Trek thread 2 in the morning
For fuck sake.
Is Star Trek Online worth getting into?
And who's "hyped" for Star Trek Beyond and the TV series coming in january?
best moment in the entire series was when red squad was fucked by that battle cruiser. cunt kids
>>338547495
Along with the Excelsiors the damn things were practically ancient. But the Feds need every ship they had to fight the Dominion.
>>338547612
>>338547260
I rag on them because I love them, really. They manage to maintain a mysterious aura throughout all this nonsense and it would have been nice if they had been dealt a slightly more interesting hand as the writers had envisaged.
Instead Spockson Mandela gets them to morally surrender half way through TNG, and they only serve as background radiation for the rest of it and DS9, with one tiny cameo in VOY.
Its pretty sad that ENT both made good use of out of the romulans, and had planned to make them a major part of the show later on.
If only they hadn't been really, really shit.
>>338547260
My understanding was that the Borg were bullshitted up to take the place of the parasites infiltrating Starfleet as the series' main villain after Conspiracy aired and the concept got nixed.

>beyond
not much.im not that much of a fan of TOSand they got the fast and furious director doing this one. what the fuck
the new tv show however, i have some hope
>>338547891
The Parasites were meant to BE the Borg, it's why they sent out a mysterious signal at the end of that episode, to call for reinforcements
>>338547852
It's not worth it.
Last time I tried getting back into it, something like a year ago, it was still the same grindy, ugly mess it's been since launch.
And it's filled with freemium mechanics.
>>338547970
>>338548048
Cheers, might look into it since I'm hungry for Trek games.
>>338548027
Wierdest fucking choice ever, I feel JJ just "left" the project and just focuses on Star Wars.I'm not a fan of the JJ-verse, but the movies look nice.

My complaint is that they aren't trek movies, they are action movies with a light trek dressing.
They could have easily made a new IP for them, but the name recognition is what helped to make it happen.
>>338547290The relationship between Trip and Reed, while not even close to Bashir and O'Brien was a lot better than fucking Kim and Paris.

Plus Spock could dish it back out to McCoy in his own deadpan way and he usually blew him the fuck out whenever McCoy started the bantz. Data just kinda took the bullying
>>338548867
Dax was a slut.
>>338548602
Bicintennial reminder that Harry Kim actually died, they got a Harry Kim from a completely different (if identical) universe and nobody cared. No funeral, not even a tear shed.
Harry Kim is the most disposable man ever crafted.
>>338548451
That's true, sadly they're the only Trek related thing we'll have.
Depending on Beyond's success, who knows what we'll get? ST and Into Darkness made more money than previous Trek movies.
>>338548948
Fuck you, Ezri was pure.
>>338547852
I had fun with STO but it doesn't take long to run out of shit to do once you're at max level and have done all the missions. I haven't played in over two years though, so they may have added some shit? I dunno.

Every time I see her I can't help but wonder what kind of noise she'd make with a foot of cock stuffed up her ass
>>338549130
Yeah, but they both hate temporal mechanics so its A-Ok.
I think the worst thing (in a huge list) that happened to O'brien isn't even his death. It was that time he spent 20 years in mind prison. That shit was brutal.
>>338548995
I mean, at least Tom Paris had SOME semblance of character development, but Kim didn't change at all for the whole fucking show.
>>338549126
Not really. It's just log in, do the new story mission, then ask yourself if you want to grind currency so you can grind currency slightly faster.
>>338549270
man, that proper made me laugh.
>>338549127
I remember RLM talks about her in some of their videos how happy she was for getting into Star Trek, she apparently had to do some awful movies with shit directors prior to ST.
>>338548730
You're forgetting someone.
>>338549337
Ah yes, Tom Paris.
He reminds me of a old native american legend back on earth.
>>338549587
Pel a shit.
Now Lumba, there's a female I'd let chew my tube grubs.
>>338549648
It's kind of incredible how hard that fucker phoned it in for the entire show.
>>338549337
I don't think Paris was that bad, or at least there were times they managed to squeeze a least a little blood out of the rock.
Kim was a unchanging nonentity throughout. I think the mistake was choosing an asian for the role, if they'd got someone who could actually grow a beard they could have hopefully tapped into the mysterious power of beard in star trek.
Instead, we get that weird episode where Kim is all gruff and slightly rude because he let everyone die and got home and felt bad, but its okay it never happened.
Compare and contrast with Bashir's character development.
>>338549648
>A-koo-chee-moy-ay

Don't forget the time he was an evil clone and didn't know it.
