Trek Gaming

[Deks]

I long to see the return of Star Trek ADVENTURE games.

Agreed.

25th Anniversaty, Judgment Rites and TNG: A final Unity (that last one an EPIC) were a step in a right direction.

I think that something along the lines of BIOWARE's Mass Effect turned into Star Trek would be great.
But we would also need actual starship combat/exploration like the one in Bridge Commander (which was much more of an simulation of Trek ships compared to Legacy and Star Trek Online).

Think of Mass Effect in Star Trek with BC style starship combat (and of course a huge astrometrics lab similar to the entirely graphic stellar cartography from Generations movie - you know, for course corrections, going to destinations, etc.).

The shooter element should be present, but not in abundance as it is now.
Puzzle solving and settling of diplomatic crisis through words, solving murders and whatnot would be good where actions can lead towards demise of the Federation, or not.

I also wouldn't be opposed to a game based on the story from Destiny novels.
That would be a game of vast proportions.
They can easily make it a three parter (given how it consists of 3 books) and base the game on what I mentioned.

My Wishlist...

An Adventure game such as "Secret of Vulcan Fury" set in the TOS period
An Adventure game such as "A Final Unity" set in the TNG DS9 Voy Period
A Starship Combat game like an updated 'Starfleet Command" with 3D movement for multiple periods
A FPS set in the TNG DS9 Voy period
A FPS Set in the TOS Period
A Strategy game set in multiple periods

Have each game require moderate system specs for greater playability to more systems.. And make the PC the primary system release...not an afterthought (Legacy)

And price em around $30 to $40 US when new...


provided with some development time, that'll ENSURE good gaming... Not hurried releases designed to piss off the gaming public...

I'm gonna second the post-TNG era game using Mass Effect 2 as a template. BioWare getting its hands on the Star Trek franchise? Glorious.

Yeah, I agree there. Awhile back, I made a thread wishing Telltale would grab the license to make some new adventure games. Their episodic format would work beautifully with the episodic nature of the 25th Anniversary and Final Unity mission based formats.

A sequel to Legacy would be pretty sweet.
An EF style game, set on the Enterprise D would also be pretty cool. With some free roam too.

I want a Starship Combat game set in the TOS period, with ships like the Fran Joseph designs and the FASA TOS ships. Not gonna happen, but I'd love to see it.

They do have one...

Starfleet Command Orion Pirates properly modded with the OPPlus mode (look around it's out there) when played on Early era it uses mostly FJ ships for the major combat units...

Schweet lookin and playin..and one can find mission scripts out there to do just about any thing you can name..

Thanks. I've got Orion Pirates, but I've never been able to get any mods to work on my system.

#1-- you do have to get the latest patches to allow the mods to work..I'm running OP version 2550, look at the startup screen in the lower right corner for your version and locate the patches at the following..

http://www.fileplanet.com/81925/80000/fileinfo/SFC:-Orion-Pirates-Patch-v2500---v2552

The Opplus mod is harder, but can be located..

http://starfleetcommand3.filefront.com/file/Orion_Pirates_Enhancement_Package;85320

as part of the enhancement package..heck..just download the enhancement package follow the included instructions and volia..just remember, one needs a FRESH install for the mods and patches to load properly..
