Best Star Trek Game

colin300 · 2003-07-15 23:13:49

I want to buy a Star Trek game doesn't matter what it is based on i.e. Enterprise, Voyager. I have a few Star Trek games have finished them the only one I can think of at the moment is Star Trek Armada. Has their been any other releases since Armada 2??

the real problem is that the games in the Star Trek franchise have been, in general, very poor. The last one I really played myself was Armada II and that was lacking in a few areas.

i brought back that game as it seemed too easy after having played a good bit of command and conquer, how did armada 2 manage to be worse then the first one?

Armada was nicley balanced and easy to get into, Armada 2 has some stupid weapons and is just annoying.

Elite Force and its recently-released sequel (both First Person Shooters) - the former is based on Voyager, and the latter on Enterprise.

Birth of the Federation - a turn based strategy. Takes some patience, but very rewarding, and particularly good in multiplayer. A little buggy though...

Bridge Commander definitly!
No game captured the atmosphere of Star Trek quite like that game.

Final Unity rocked. Hard to get it working on modern PCs tho.

Birth of the Federation is alright, as is Elite Force.

I'm currently using the v1.1 patch, I didn't realise that there were any other patches out. It ran fine on the first few servers but then one server told me it was downloading a custom sovergin ship for me, I didn't think much of it at the time since I thought it would just get deleted later but it seems to be the cause of my problems. I fear I may have to do a reinstall but if you could tell me where I could get the other patches maybe they'd fix the problem?

www.bcfiles.com

Remember all patchs need a fresh install of bc (i currently have 4 versions)

SO if you download 1.3B you need to uninstall bc and deleate all files and folders left over ....Install bc install 1,1 install 1,3 install 1,3b

Best Star Trek game hmmmm?

Well I'm going to say 3 games, and they are the games I enjoyed most from start to end.

Birth of the Federation, the micromanaging was tough at first but when mastered gave alot of control over your economy.

A Final Unity, decent voice acting, a space combat simulator that wasn't half bad (i loved the damage report system), and good FMV for the time.

Star Trek DS9: The Fallen, the game noone played , no FMV, story was told using the engine, which was a modified UT engine. Had it's problems like most games that the developers sought to remedy by releasing a 30mb patch. Patches in this broadband enabled age still don't get that high. But the story was engrossing, and embraced the quirkier side of the DS9 arcs rather than the more exciting Dominion War.
