How would you like vote or a poll on this I think you are in the minority on this Do not Blame Taldren for SFC3 being a disaster blame Activision they pushed them to get the game out in time for the movie and the movie didn't do well either to bad.

Well, I spent $10.00 the other day to grab Homeworld, and I love It's engine. I had played the Demo a few years ago, But It would be interesting to see How an Engine like that worked with the SFC line.

That being said, I do like the Hex based movement alot. You can do so much with It, and It allows for alot of Strategic planning for a long Campaign. It would be interesting though to see how such a thing would play out with out hex's and just a free form 3d map of the galaxy, But who would want to write the code for such a thing.

sfcop is great!!! and i wouldnt change too much in another trek game.
but i would love to see some things added
here are my suggestions:
-stay tmp era or all earas beginning with tos
-true 3d space
-ingame mission/campaign builder wich supports browsing the soundfolder (u could make ur own ingame voices via microphone for mission instructions and such)
-collisions
-weapons should be modable (adding some new ones at least on a limited base,strength , range,recycle , etc)
-real cloaking (one out of 2 things i like in sfc3)
-real class names (the other thing i like in sfc3)
-better damage effects (i never liked the way the ships exploded in sfc3 or bc - ka wasnt so detailed but it looked better!)
-mouse and keybord control like in sfc2 (the mous whel could be used for the z axis)
-a little more canon
-environments like in ka
-commandships should have a tactical overview screen wich alowys u to give orders to a whole fleet
-a bit of a cool storyline (maybe like a grafic novel between the missions (like in max payne but moddable) that would allow to make real cool storries for the game and give it more of a deeper feeling
-movie/series missions : wrath of khan, balance of terror,the undiscovered country,etc.

something that would be cool but i dont think it will ever be done:
a second cd with away missions (moddable like the other part of the game) which are connected to the simulation part of the game. u arive at a planet with your ship - u get a mission-u insert cd2 and u complete that mission as a character on the planets surface. that would be soo uber cool.

and beside the fact that it would be cool - it could bring a whole lot of money - just think about all the expansion pacs that would be possible ..WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !

a name for the game: just pure and simple STAR TREK - the game

just my 2cents:)

Age, if you read my post carefully, you will see that at no point do I blame Taldren for anything. You are adding that in for some reason. I suggest doing a search to find all my posts. You will find that I have a very high opinion of Taldren. SFC3 does fall way short compared to previous versions, however I never blamed Taldren. I am aware of it being rushed to market and Activision not allowing an official patch release cause of the political situation. I believe you have made an assumption here on my position or perhaps you are trying to start something.

Actually AGe, your last 2 entrys dont make any sense. Pestelance has not posted in this thread and what is it exactly that you need halp with? It seems like maybe your idea of getting out of a red shirt might be to start posing a bunch a drivel. We have had plenty enough trolls here. I hope you are not going to be come one.

Hehe, I love It when the Newbies Argue.

Seriously Guys, It's no big deal. all is good with Taldren, and Expect Big things in the Future from the Company. I have a feeling though that Age's first language may not be English, so Let's all give everyone the Benifit of the doubt. It does no harm, and besides, you all Could better use your time making fun of my spelling errors.

Imagine taking the best of SFC (all of them) + BC + Freelancer.......It would be really cool.

... a better combo would be SFC + E&B + EF2 ... add to that a fully 3D interactive "universe" and you would probably have the "killer" ST game of the ages ... IMHO

I would still prefer for the next SFC to fill out the 'missing races' from SFB, the Andromedans and Tholians. I saw some nice mods for themsomewhere, but being lazy, would prefer to see them on a disc.

I'm still hoping there is a future for Trek titles, I also would love to see the Cardassians get their time in the sun.

Sorry about that but I just thought that you were blaming Taldren for a bad jop on SFC3 put it towards Activision,It would be nice if Interplay still had the license.I know no.3 is not perfect I had to patch it up with the new direct x 9 and the add on with scimitar and I hate it evertime you fail mission single player you lose the campaign that did not happen in EAW or OP.I was asking Pestalence for some back up on newer versions thats all sorry for the misunderstanding we have give those Great workers at Taldren something more challengeing for Us and they are Great at making these games. so sorry

PS everytime I uninstall the game I have to download the direct x agian.What to you people do?How do someome become one a troll or moderator

You are an extra in a red shirt until you get your post count up.

Another SFC game? Hmmmmm hadn't thought of that...

We'll take your request for more, as praise since we are geeks and think anything short of being fragged is a complement.

Welcome to our forums and keep posting!

I am not for any more SFC games. Yes there are many that prefer keeping to the SFB format, but that was designed as a board game. Taldren did a splendid job of converting it to a video game. Yes its excellant, however I want the next Trek game to move away from hexs and be less restrictive. An excellant game like that is Freelancer. Though the actually combat in that game is too simple and repetitive. The game design itself is outstanding. Perhaps a Trek game could be along those lines . I also feel that SFC3 basically trashed the SFC name thus losing its credibility to be used again in a future game. Best to build a 3d engine, incorporate some of the battle systems from SFC and call it something else. Start a whole new game.

Heck, while we're inventing fantasy combos, let's throw in character models, ala Elite Force, Away Team, and DS9: The Fallen, and we can have a full-out RPG like Star Wars: Galaxies.
