Snow Cone Capone posted:I never played Bridge Commander, was it more than just a Star Trek flight sim? I feel like an X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter type game wouldn't really work that well in the ST universe. Less because it wouldn't be fun and more because I feel like that's not really what Star Trek is all about. Yea it does have a single player campaign but from what I remember it wasn't very compelling and seemed there mostly for getting you from one battle to the next, which is where the game really shined. It's been a long rear end time since I played it though. I hear you about a Trek version of X-Wing vs Tie Fighter being missing the point a bit but if one wanted to play shootships with Trek lore craft then it's still the best option IMO. I'm not sure of any modern Star Trek game that attempts to capture the non-shooty parts of Star Trek.

Bridge Crew is one of my favorite video games when I can get my friends online with me. Really wish they would make another dlc withr a never ending mode.

Oh yeah, I definitely agree a shooty Trek game would be fun. But yeah IMO if you want an actual Trek game you really need some Stellaris, 4X-level poo poo.

I haven't played it personally because I shelved Stellaris until I have the supercomputer required for a smooth late game experience, but it looks pretty comprehensive. Edit: oops, you were the one that brought that up originally.

My dream Trek game would be Bridge Commander's ship movement and combat combined with a Mount and Blade-esque persistent yet evolving world where I'm just following orders from Starfleet command and the game occasionally throws obstacles at me to turn my routine missions into TNG-esque boondoggles. "Captain, the containers of Bolian soy beans we are transporting contained a mutagenic fungus and now the crew is slowly devolving into Jello pudding".

There is some compelling moments in Bridge Commander but they really don't make the best use of the setting in terms of interacting with others. I'm not sure if it runs at all on Windows 10 but I do know at least up until a few years ago people were still making ship mods and visual mods for it, probably because there really isn't any other game like it for Star Trek at the moment, and Klingon Academy and Starfleet Academy are way too old (although Klingon Academy has one of the best damage visuals for a space shooter, though they don't really compare to Bridge Commander's combination of visuals and location-based damage)

That's cheating because every game could be improved by making it more like Mount and Blade

FTL is a pretty good Trek-but-not-Trek game. Although when I play it, it feels specifically like it's based on "Cause And Effect"

I'd like to see some variation on games like Battletech, where the missions are generated procedurally. Just give me a pool of like 200 alien races, 50 scenarios (first contact, pre-warp but their planet is about to explode, Mysterious Superpowers, neutral race caught between a faction war, etc.) and gray area win/loss conditions and I'd be pretty happy. e: so basically some unholy amalgam of M&B, FTL and Stellaris I guess e2: and maybe some Xcom-style crew management

AlBorlantern Corps posted:I love the Starfleet Academy Bridge Simulator and Star Trek TNG SNES games. Starfleet Academy Bridge Simulator was a fun take on Trek games and I really enjoyed it, but then again I was the kind of nerdy kid who thought having to follow proper procedures for poo poo was awesome gameplay. I enjoyed the TNG game as well. I remember trying to play the DS9 game. I remember being Sisko and running around on the station punching Cardassians (I think). I got bored of it quickly. I don't think Star Trek was ever a good fit for a Final Fight style arcade brawler. Edit: Not as much of a punch-em-up as I remember but I think this video about summarizes it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZej2P4rPhQ. You play as Sisko and you run around the station doing god knows what. Kibbles n Shits fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Apr 16, 2019 |

There was always Starfleet Command and its sequels. It was based on Starfleet Battles, so it was probably more shooty than Star Trek "should" be, but I still liked it. And I second the Stellaris New Horizons mod, which is constantly in a state of improvement. I mean, even unmodded, Stellaris is very "Star Trek".

My wife was seriously entertaining the idea of getting a PSVR just so we could play Bridge Crew together. It's hit and miss with random, but playing with people you know in VR is fantastic.

Where's all the Pulaski love at? Fine, she and I will be getting wasted on poison tea while you're dying in a fiery car wreck straight out of a 50s ballad because General One Eye can't see the whole road. EDIT - All my awareness of what goes on at "prom" comes from movies and old sitcoms.

Stellaris hard codes the dichotomy between science ships and warships that the Federation ships in Star Trek just dont have. Theres still a lot of good things to say about the mod, though. The UFP mechanics are great and pretty much make the Federation this multicultural diplomatic powerhouse. The Borg and their assimilation mechanics are cool, also.

You can turn those messages off, and it's easy as gently caress to simultaneously bind every power in the game to spacebar, so you just mash one button while flying the ship.
