Bridge Commander was the best, at least with the Kobayashi Maru mod. This is not up for debate.

>25th Anniversary
>Judgement Rites
>A Final Unity

That's the top 3.

>all those great games for the old ST stuff
>barely anything has come out for the reboot ST and all of it is shit

Bridge Commander is game where you play a mute spectator while your bitchy first officer does all the talking and makes all the decisions. All you're left with is the space fighting which is boring.

I so wanted it to be good.

Elite force was kickass for the time, back when Quake 3 ruled gaming.

I wasn't into DS9 back then so the ST game that used the UT engine didn't interest me, plus I only had a demo of it via a magazine.

Want some pics?

...

Seriously speaking, did anyone see this coming?

It was pretty dumb and the voice acting during that fleet action always bugged out badly.

Elite Force 1 > 2

It was also funny how at one point she would keep on coming back, once i fought her like 4 times during the same match end.

I just started watching DS9 for the first time a few nights ago.

I enjoy it so far.

Quark and Odo steal the show.

Sisko is a boring, uninteresting, wet blanket. He is dreadful to watch on screen 95% of the time and holy fuck is it just me or is he always all over his "son" in the show constantly touching him and kissing on him. Fucking hell.

Kira is obnoxious and annoying. She is wishy washy thus far just because the writing needs her to be and she will probably never be an actual well established character, constantly on the fence about every little thing.

Dax is boring and uninteresting.No one would ever notice she was gone if she was suddenly removed honestly.

Bashir is obnoxious, annoying, and uncharistmatic even though the show tries to force charisma just because of his accent.

Obrien is a bro just like from TNG.

If it weren't for Odo and Quark, I would have probably abandoned watching this. But it's only the second season so that could be ruined at any moment.

I dropped the game about the end of the temporal cold war/start of the new storyline, thought about going back once or twice but I missed the xmas ship and all I've got in terms of ships is the klingon tact cruiser.

Sisko, Kira, Dax and Bashir will all get better. The cast isn't quite as monumentally talented as TNG but they have excellent group dynamics, some of the best plots and writing in Star Trek.

And you just missed (you just cant get enough marks now) for the Lukari science space dorito,

That's pretty par for the course, DS9 is carried by it's supporting cast. Sisko gets a bit better when he starts being an angry black man instead of a boring black man, and the bromance of Bashir and O'Biren gets pretty hilarious, but Quark, Odo, Dukat and Garak are the ones who constantly steal the show.

I doubt 100% Dax and Sisko will ever be better.

I can see Kira finally not being obnoxious since the show is building up to her not being such a bitch.

Bashir can only get better in my eyes if he stops being such a """""""""hopeless romantic""""""""" playboy anytime anything remotely female docks at the station, and actually do something doctor related.

I've only watched TOS and TNG before this and Bones and Crusher completely demolish Bashir in terms of them doing their job and getting their hands dirty.

All Bashir has done so far is stand around, wave a tricorder at someone for a few seconds, and hit on girls and failing miserably because he's a dunce. He's embarrassing.

He's only done ONE good thing and that's when he saved the ambassadors.

I forgot about Garak. Yeah he's always fucking great, it's too bad he has to have Bashir along for the ride so far anyway.

Did you know one of the random alien races in the show that Sisko talks to, is Hanzo's voice actor?

Also, Garak is the scorpio killer from the first Dirty Harry movie. I recognized his voice and the way his mouth moved immediately.

>Quark and Odo steal the show.
Unless it is Quark/Odo episode.

>Sisko is a boring, uninteresting, wet blanket.
Makes you wish Cardassians haven't withdrawn. But he'll get at least a bit more interesting.

>holy fuck is it just me or is he always all over his "son" in the show constantly touching him and kissing on him
I attributed it to their racial and cultural background, but I am no american.

>Kira is obnoxious and annoying.
She's supposed to be. I consider her character development quite enjoyable to watch.

>Dax is boring and uninteresting.No one would ever notice she was gone if she was suddenly removed honestly.
Jadzia would.

>Bashir is obnoxious, annoying, and uncharistmatic even though the show tries to force charisma just because of his accent.
He'll improve as well (sadly ti's mostly because he will share screen time with Garak)

It gets better, it all gets better.

Bashir starts having brunch with Garak, the best character, and that alone makes him worth having around. The fact he develops as well as gives Garak someone to play off of is icing on the cake.

You gotta keep it up man, you haven't even seen the glory of Ghul Dukat yet.

DS9 absolutely improves. TNG ends after DS9's 2nd season, and at that point all the people with talent go over to DS9 while Berman and his band of retards head up Voyager. Not coincidentally DS9 gets much better starting with their 3rd season, although there are a few episodes in the first two that help establish the show, like "The Maquis"

> Jadzia would.

Heh. I see what you did there.

...

Agreed that Sisko is a boring captain and kind of a bad actor.

Kira is cute and gets better when they stop trying to make her Ensign Ro 2.0

Jddzia Dax is a boring character all around, agreed.

Bashir gets a lot better as the show goes on when they make him and O'Brien bros 4 lyfe

Don't remember when Garak starts to become a more important character, but he is /bestboy/

And Dukat did nothing wrong.

It's true, DS 9 starts getting better at around the 3rd season. It takes a while to reach it's full potential though.

By the way, how is Star Trek online these days. I tried to log in a while back, but I had to do so much account relocation voodoo, by the time I was done I went to bed before logging in.

Kira doesn't develop past ""muh collaborators"" tbqh

Tomas Riker did nothing wrong.

Good. Fuck the reboot.

Have you gotten the flying triangle yet?
Got pics of the newer U.S.S. Child abduction?

Are you by any chance familiar with a show called "Spenser: For Hire"? It's basically what Avery Brooks was most known for before he became Sisko. In fact his portrayal in the early seasons was specifically because they didn't want Sisko to be thought of as "Captain Hawk." Sisko, and by extension the show as a whole, gets a lot better when they just drop that and let Sisko go full Captain Fuckallyall.

When Sisko starts looking like this, you're definitely in the good part of DS9.

Bashir has some of the best episodes user. The hologram spy one alone is worth the character IMO.

She kinda does?

Fucking a piece of jello by the end

Is there a Star Trek game that focuses on diplomacy?

...

...

You know, I kinda wish the game had more special states like that.
>Only two is petrification by Tal Shar bombs, and being made into a borg.

That feel when you talk to Brent Spiner about video games and he says that they are pointless because he feels bad even if you win or lose.

I could not argue with commander Data

I don't get what he means

...

Birth of the Federation, I guess?

Birth of the Federation.

But if you mean "solve things in other ways than firing a fuckton of photon torpedoes", then probably the point and click adventure games are the closest you can get.

Thanks, I'll check'em out lads

...

Yaaaay, we survived the Iconian war.

I'm miffed about this game.

I guess it was supposed to be the third game in the Interplay point and click Trek adventure game trilogy.

I'm on the fence if it was a good idea anyway. On one hand, the adventure games were pretty great and seeing one more of those would have been fun. But on the other hand, even in that early build, those graphics look like shit while the pixel art in 25th Anniversary and Rites has aged much better.

Have a size comparison pic.

Why don't people ever talk about Deep Space Nine: Harbinger? It looks comfy and fun.

>Take Me Out to the Holosuite
>Good
lol

Because Crossroads of Time is clearly superior

oh fuck this game
holy shit it is goddamn incomprehensible

Is Avery Brooks a beatnik, or did he just act that was in the captains becuase he had to out crazy shatner?

She does in very few episodes.

>Vulcan is STILL assblasted he morally lost a baseball game and proved nothing.

To be fair, I wouldn't put it past Shatner to edit it specifically in a way to make Brooks look as crazy as possible. But Brooks definitely strikes me as the kind of guy to be eccentric to prove a point if he thinks it'll be thought-provoking.

>it just me or is he always all over his "son" in the show constantly touching him and kissing on him.
According to Memory-Alpha he still gives Cirroc Lofton a hug every time he sees him

...

Brooks seems like a person who found his zen and enjoys being himself.

Things to consider:

1) Brooks hates Shatner

2) Brooks is an opera singer

3) Brooks is fucking insane

>Brooks hates Shatner
Hardly unique in that regard

>star trek game
>it's a shooter
>it's an rts wargame
>it's about shooting phasers at ships

how difficult can it be to
>select crew
>outfit ship
>beam down planets
>have adventure

Honestly Star Control 2 is about as close of that type of game that you want.

Unfortunately for the people who want an actually fun Star Trek, that shit is boring and won't sell according to publishers.

NES and SNES had those games.

in 25th anniversary/Judgement rites it grades you on how closely you stick to Starfleet principles.

More people should play Starfleet Academy, at least for the Soundtrack since it was done by Ron Jones who composed the good music for TNG before Berman fired him.

>tfw you converted all your dilithium to zen and now you have to grind it for weeks to get more

This thing's pretty badass though.

I want it to be good, but I know it won't be and it hurts.

Dead in a season because no one will be able to watch it

Dead before it got out of the starting gate.

>CBS Subscription Bullshit with ads
>But Internationally it will be on Netflix
>But they already made their money back selling the international streaming rights to Netflix
>Fired Bryan Fuller as Showrunner.
>Delayed multiple times
>Only entered into full production 2 weeks agoo.
It's only gotten worse, and I know it will continue to get worse without getting better.

isn't there a bunch of sjw shit in it too?

>Fired Bryan Fuller as Showrunner
It sounded as if he was planning on doing diversity hires because DIVERSITY!!! though.

also hamhanded sjw crap.

>Star Trek
>SJW
You don't say

>le mcquarrieprise nostalgia xddDD D so retro

I mean more than the typical amount.

Star trek has always been liberal. They just don't shove it in your face and later series do stray from it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the new series goes full SJW though. I mean, you can't say much about diversity becuase star trek has always been diverse, but they are advertising that a character is openly gay. Would have been more effective to subtly introduce the character as gay instead of just labeling them as a gay character. But I guess they thought they could do it becuase, hey, takei is gay, right?

Poor Takei, i bet he never saw it coming that folks would raise him on a pedestal for his sexual orientation.

He even told the Beyond staff that he didn't want them to make New Sulu gay. Then he told them again, and then they made New Sulu gay regardless and Takei is upset exactly because he didn't want his sexuality applied to the character in a ham-fisted manner.

That's what I meant. It was never afraid to try it but I was afraid this new show would go FULL SJW.

TNG had basically a parody of hardcore communism as its villains even

Tell me Captain, if your Federation is so good, why are there no good Star Trek videogames?

because your forehead is a fucking spoon

>religion almost disappeared for many years
>"ei guise we have an all new muslim character in the new series :)"

The Romulans weren't that bad

Religion will never really die, user. You know that

>picard is personal friends with god and meets him in the afterlife
>still atheist

Weird worlds: Return to infinite space

already exists, with a star trek mod.

Soon...

You are now hearing my line manually.

That would imply I remember what this character sounds like

is STO worth playing?

It's free so play it and find out

It's ok.
Space battles are its forte.

>it's scientifically proven what the prophets really are
>"m-muh god's!"

>"they're just wormhole aliens"
>"they're also our gods"
Not mutually exclusive

looks like it's a big time sink though

>it's been over seven years
jesus christ

Then play until you feel the time you'd need to progress outweighs the entertainment you'd gain from progressing

That's probably around the level cap

>it's pretty clear what the pah-wraiths are
>"muh powerlevel!!!!"
