I thik that Star Trek Armada 2 is on the map. The frist one was bad, but they fixed the 3D engine and it has stunning efects.
I'm also a big fan of Star Trek and this hit the spot for me. It also remminds me of Age Of Empiers... in space. And for people who like to blow thiings up this is your game. Don't touch me! La La La La La La La! You got to buy Star Trek Armada 2. You get to play as three races Klingons, humans, or the the bad scary cyborg Borgs. STA2 contanis 30- 40 diffrent classes of ships, and you can controll up two 16 diffrent ships. Also the maps has doubled in size so you can travle at warp a lot. (...)
Hey hey!

Give it a try! This is almost a new genre, considering it's Action/Sim/Strategy combo. Anyway, it's worth the (money), and is a great addition to your game collection, escpecially you Trekkies! The characters, ships, and story are somwhat tedious however, in that the Enterprise is not in it, neither are the Borg, or many Klingon and Romulan ships, oh yeah, there isn't really a story. Hmm, a good game anyway.
WOW! This certainly is some sequel.

This game features much better graphics, more challengine fight scenes and battles, and hidden areas. I've played the demo several times and each time I have dicovered something new about the game - something I had missed the time before. This game will keep you playing for hours. Since the story line changes based on your actions or reactions (unlike the first Elite Force), you can play this game many times and not get tired of it.
Great Buy!

you get two high quality Star Trek games for a very small amount of money. even though they are in jewel cases, there are instruction booklets in each case so you do get a printed manual. i have WinXP on my 1 year old Pentium 4 system with a GeForce3 Ti200 graphics card and Audigy Gamer sound card and both games run flawlessly.
you can't lose at this price.
Added:
a helpful tip: i did have some mouse lag problems with Dominion Wars when i first began playing a campaign. i was not sure exactly what the problem was because it seemed to work OK in skirmish mode. so i searched the net and discovered that resetting screen colors to 16-bit instead of 32-bit would solve the problem and it seems to so far. so all you have to do is to reset your screen color resolution before playing and then reset back when you are done. is easy to do.
DS9 The Fallen played flawlessly right from the beginning. and it is a good, high quality game too. it is a first person shooter with nice graphics and a good DS9 story line.
If I only knew

If I only knew what I was buying, I would have given the money to a charity. No, not to a charity, to the first person I meet on the street.
It took me about 3 hours to understand that that was it, this WAS the game, and I was not going to get anything else. By that time my eyes were closing and I was falling asleep.
This is what you do in the game - you listen to endless and pointless conversations directing you to do something, you go and do it, and when all of a sudden time comes to shoot, you shoot and run and shoot and run and turn and shoot and run and shoot and run and shoot and turn and run and shoot and run and run and run and shoot and shoot and shoot and turn and run.
This game cannot be called strategic, because you are totally limited in choices, it cannot be called arcade because it is not only slow, there is no word in the language to say how slow it is. What kind of game is it?? I don't know...
There is more to this then what's in the package.

I didn't purchase the Action Pack, but have these games separately. All are good out of the box, but what makes them great (In armada 1&2 anyway) is the online community. There are mods online you can add to the games themselves. Armada 1 (my favorite) has ships available from babylon 5, starwars and a host of others. You can do voiceovers on individual ships with any wav you care to install. I have ships commanded by Ash (from evil dead), Buffy the Slayer and even Cartman from Southpark. What a riot that is. This makes the game play almost endless. Voyager Elite Force is also excellent. Great graphics and alot of online web support. These are games that can keep on giving and for the money you will be hard put to beat it.
The BEST action packed one yet

I've been playing Star Trek Bridge Commander for a while now after I purchased the game just a few years ago. The computer graphics are great if you like to take the Captain's Chair. This game requires some stragety and it's often difficult to play. I have to play this game a number of times before I can get through the next level. But if you are a extremely better gamer and love Star Trek this game is for you. If not don't buy this game if you are not satisified.
Number 1 you have the conn

This is amazing you actually sit in a "Picard" type role and are able to do wahtever you please with your ship. It is amazing Ive only played the demo but voice activation! WOW. The only 2 downfalls I see so far are #1 you get relieved of command if you try to blow up friendlies (I got bored with the demo) and #2 so far there is a lack of joystick control. I know that sounds trivial but in Star Trek #9 they had a "MAnual Steering Column" and yes im a trekkie
Simply Incredible!!

The Original Elite Force game was groundbreaking and one of the best games made to date. I didn't see how they could improve on that but I am awed at this game. It's simply the best game I have played to date. It ranks in at one of the 6 all time best games ever in my opinion. Just for the record, my top six games ever go like this:
6 Unreal II
5 Star Trek Elite Force
4 Indiana Jones and The Emperor's Tomb
3 Star Wars Jedi Knight II:Outcast
2 Star Trek Elite Force II
1 Halflife
These games are simply the best made to date and Elite Force II ranks right at the top in my book. I don't know where to begin. Superb graphics, sound, playability, storyline, weaponry. It's like stepping into the Star Trek Universe. The graphics were completely authentic in every detail to the Star Trek world. I hope there is an Elite Force III in the future as I am hungry for more. Maybe the Elite Force Team could be assigned to Deep Space Nine next time, that would be awesome I think.
