Star Trek

They should learn a few things from an old game
"Star Control 2"

Its the best type for Star Trek

1. You can go anywhere in the quadrant or atleast as far as they could with current engines, lol
2. They show how much space is controled by whom
3. Talk with any ship that you meet half way traveling to another system or in a system able to see lots of ships minding their own business.
4. You can explore every single planets (this would be a hard thing to do in Trek )
5. Scavage resources for trading (In trek's case, trading with other species)
6. Maps are split from (the entire Quadrant until every single systems & planets/moons/gasgiants)
7. Can fight anyone u choose but that will effect that race's opinion on you.
8. anomolies/artifacts can be found
9. Trick races to annhilate each other "Bwa ha ha ha"
10. Time do counts. & takes time to reach to each system ofcourse there should be a no time delay option too. (some like to wait others don't)
11. If there's a certain goal, which i have no doubt it will have. Like this old game if you are aware of how the game goes by finishing it for the first time, you could restart & finish it earlier by going to the right places & do what is needed.


Ofcourse not follow it completely until it becomes a DOS game too

Changes or additions
1. better graphics "ooh, aah"
2. more realistic & up to date specs
3. Trek Aliens & much more unknown once (but aint canon ofcourse, but that's up to the writers & the ones incharge)
4. Finding new methods of travel to go far away places, like "if we found a Borg vessel" we could find "oh let's say, a Transwarp Coil" & outfit our ship whatever class we are using.
5. Get cloak too if you want :P
6. Maybe play as other races too.
7. Fighting style would be like SFC3 style with some improvements & additions ofcourse.
8. many random missions. No specific goal or at least until we decide to take it.
9. Can add multiplayer too if possible.
10. Who knows, maybe we could bump into familiar faces in this tiny region of space. lol "& they say space is so big."
11. etc.

so how's the idea?

i have never played the game before but sounds pretty cool.

Thanks

try going to this site & see what the game is about
Star Control

This site portrays all 3 parts of the game, IMO part 3 lost lots of glory part 2 had.

1. Travel is instentaniou thanks to warp bubble tech.
2. No need to self gather resources thanks to alliance mining facility
3. The game is practically linear story line, not as free as part 2

who says newer is better, lol
graphics are good though

I helped gather pics for part 2 about alien lifeforms, artifects, etc. found on planets.

it's like freelancer but then a la star trek

Not quite like Freelancer.

1. Its not a linear line gameplay like Freelancer.
2. Its not based on a single ship alone, u can recruit vessels who are in your alliance big or small they all got an edge.

3. You can get resources in various ways & explore the galaxy more personally rather then heading to worlds digging for work
4. etc.

What I like about SC2, once I got stuck in the middle of space travel, "out of fuel", lol

Later I realized that an artifect I have with me that broadcast signal through subspace can lure a trading race who can sell me fuel for the right "trade" "bio data" gathered on inhabited worlds.

lol

but it looks like it is based on some ideas of freelancer  

Uh, just so you know, this game came out over 15 years ago.

In other words, thanks to this & other older scifi games like "Starflight"

came the existence of "Freelancer"

In other other words, Freelancer got the idea from it.

well im sorry to inform you that 15 years ago i was just born :0    

like I said, just so you know.

no offense intended.
