Well, it seems there are two new Star Trek games coming from Activision, and both look like pretty good concepts. First there's AWAY TEAM, which is supposedly a squad combat game (a la X-com). Secondly there's Bridge Commander, which is supposed to be a Starship sim, which is being made from the same guys who made X-Wing. Sounds pretty cool.

I'm not too sure. Invasion for the playstation looks fairly nice, but the other two will probably be moderate at best, just like Hidden Evil and Armada. Elite Force is the main one, probably topping the game list.

I do not like both of them.
First ST-Bridge-Commander looks to strategic, btw it looks alsos stupid to have First-Contact uniforms on the Enterprise-D Bridge.

As for Away-Team, don't know, looks like X-Com for me.

And both games seem to have a terrible grafic.
Definitly no "HIT"-games like Elite-Force or the The Fallen.

Well it will be the most realistic ST-simulator you could ever hope to achieve since you will be on the bridge and fight the battles from all the different stations on it.
Starfleet Academy and Klingon Academy are both still arcade-games with gigantic ships being flown about like jetplanes, with joysticks. There will be no joysticks in Bridge Commander.
The screenshots they have at PCgamer are very promising, and there WILL be more ships than the Galaxy-class, like the Sovereign and the Akira.

I dont think you should harass Klingon Academy. I just got it and they dont move like jet fighters, they move like starships. Its really quite rad. Quite an improvement over the old one.
