definately worth the 15 bucks i paid for it, and better then any out in the past few years for consoles ( barring Star Trek Legacy)
Thoughts?
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
Hm. Maybe I'll rent to get a feel. Not so happy about the play type (especially as a single player), but it IS much like NetTrek (which reminds me..I have Mactrek! Schmuck...). The imagery is faboo, though, & I'm keen on the ship designs, especially the return of the Winged Defender!
However...I get itchy about the idea of anything linking the terms "Star Trek" & "conquest."
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
Yeah, and personally I would like to see a Legacy type game for ps2. or psp. Even more, and I Know it is the firearms guru in me, but I would love to see another FPS like Elite force come out on either system (unlikely, now that ps3 is out, and there is no whay in hell iam getting that before 2010)

I still hold for a Bridge Commander Deuce. It's the only Trek game which felt like...well Star Trek. But I don't Bethesda making it. Those people are bastards.
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
My computer is so old and full of crap that I haven't been able to bother buying the pc games. I ve been stuck on the console games for ps2, most of which suck, with the exception of conquest. The last one bethesda churned out, ST Encounters, was ok, but had a voiceover by the "Shat", who sounded more interested on his cheeseburger than in the game.
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
PS3 is definitely worth it. I dunno about the games or anything, but when my brother got his I couldn't help noticing that it has a *web browser* and actually is open for development - you can install Linux on it if you know what you're doing. There's even a hard drive partitioner. And it'll play several media codecs XBox360 won't, so it's a nice thing to watch pirated - er, borrowed - TV shows from.
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
My psp can connect wirelessly to the interweb too, but has much cmaller memory than a ps3, so some sites wont load. It,s a nice feature, and nsome ps3 games are pretty damn good, its just the cost. A ps3 costs at least 500 dollars, and the games cost 60 bucks each. thats a little out of my budget range. i would love an xbox 360 purly to play ST Legacy, and maybe Call of Duty 4, but again, the price is too high for my tastes
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
GameFly is only $8.95/mo for one game at a time. But the PS3 is indeed quite pricey.
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
But if I play a game, I want to keep it, unless it REALLY sucks. I'd rather just buy it.

My first post was a necro, as I recall. The post was nearly a year old, and someone bitched at me about me getting to it first. (He'd wanted to wait for the exact anniversary.)
Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :
I had to search to remember that. That was two years ago! Yikes.
Posted by HopefulNebula (Member # 1933) on :
I tried searching and couldn't find it. My search-fu is weak... plus I don't remember the category or anything.

Posted by Diane (Member # 53) on :
I sold my copy of Star Trek: Birth of the Federation on ebay for $50. I guess it's rare.
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
Yeah, it's too bad I lost mine. I can't even find the manual anymore. Buggy choppy slow game though. But fun.
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
I think the oldest trek game I own is the Star Trek 25th anniversaire collection. Came out around the time I was born.
Posted by Nim (Member # 205) on :
I prefer the original 1960's Trek computer games. Using punch cards. And spool tapes. In fact, forget the game!
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
You remind me of a math teacher I had once ;P Used to reminisce about the PDP-11 and programming things with toggle switches...*shakes head* Man, Gnome woulda been *slow* on that thing.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
I still play ST: Invasion for PS1 (in fact it's the only PS1 game I ever bothered to buy) and Armada 2 for PC.....nothing beats wiping out my roommate's starbase and taking over his shipyards: the neighbors can hear his cursing from net door.
Posted by Mars Needs Women (Member # 1505) on :
Ah ST:Invasion...The memories. Yet it was tough as hell. You almost always had to defend something, while battling fleets of ships all by yourself. Though the best mission was the one where you fly inside of a Borg Cube. Then there's another level where you fight a giant flea!?
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
I used to have Armada but I lost it long ago. I keep meaning to look for Armada 2 and never get around to it...
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
I still have ST: Invasion. And Voyager Elite Force for the PS2. That is a pretty good game. Now for an Enterprise themed one featuring MACO's...
Posted by OverRon (Member # 2036) on :
I could have sworn some group was trying to make a game mod with the MACO's in. Gonna see if I can find it now, but google is not being my friend today.
*Edit*
Well I found a link to to Enterprise: Temporal Cold War here
Not a MACO game but I assume they'll have MACO's in it.
They've built some nice looking areas and model's, like the Intrepid, crew members, and the shuttle pod bay.

Giant flea that spits an energy web and has acid babies. Awww yeah.

Yeah, that's the game I was thinking of, I just couldn't find the site. I might actually buy Half Life 2 purly for this mod when/if it comes out.
THis is a weapons demo, showing some of the shuttlebay as well.

I rented Voyager: Elite Force once, Sean. That was a pretty fun one, mostly (to me) because there was finally an explanation for why the characters could carry like 50 billion pounds of weapons and explosives: they had transporter buffers in their belts! In-freaking-genious!
Posted by Josh (Member # 1884) on :
Elite Force was amazing. Online the Assimilation game type was so much fun. I'm always baffled that Voyager made a good game.
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
The PS2 version doesn't have online play, but still it was fun. I loved the borg levels.
Posted by Mars Needs Women (Member # 1505) on :
Yeah, specially with 7 of 9 in a Hazard Suit. The sequel wasn't quite as good though. I mean one of the female characters spends the entire game in a thong.
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
Didn't that only come out for PC? It took place on the E-E right?
Posted by Mars Needs Women (Member # 1505) on :
Yep
Posted by shikaru808 (Member # 2080) on :
I didn't think it was that bad. The CGI was pretty neat too. Some levels were hella difficult though.
Posted by Mars Needs Women (Member # 1505) on :
Like the Romulan Base level. Stupid Bio-Detectors.
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
Thong, you say? Sounds like a great game.
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
Depends on whose wearing it. It could be Picard, or Dr. Pulaski. Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
Well, he did say it was a female character. So ... yeah, Picard or Dr. Pulaski.
Nahhh just kidding. Picard's the man.

Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
The modelers really nailed the 'vapid whore' expression.
Posted by shikaru808 (Member # 2080) on :
I still want a redux on Bridge Commander. Great concept, but otherwise un-polished IMHO. Different bridges, ships, and better character models would have made it an A-rated game to me.
Posted by Mars Needs Women (Member # 1505) on :
Yeah I love Bridge Commander, though it would have been nice to captain a Defiant class...
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
We should collaborate on an open source clone of Starship Creator Warp II. Y'know, or not.

There were some fairly decent downloadable versions of the Defiant. Unfortunately they were all god ships. As in able to destroy 12 warbirds in two minutes. Kind of kills the fun.
