I'd go even further though, into the 30th or 31st century. The idea is for them to have achieved a Culture-like level of technology where they can basically do whatever they want, and plots focus more on things like diplomacy, ethical dilemmas, and interpersonal relationships. I imagine the ship having an embassy on board, with the Romulan and Dominion ambassadors as major characters, and they can occasionally take on diplomats from new species they encounter. Having Spock, Worf, and Quark as part of the cast gave a lot of opportunities to delve into their respective cultures and develop them. Imagine if after the Enterprise encountered Tholians, they had a Tholian ambassador, or a Pakled, or Tamarian, even as minor characters. I think that would be interesting to see. I thought they were setting that up with Enterprise-J in Enterprise:  But, nope, nothing ever came of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh28YtsLVcg Game Sack did a retrospective on Star Trek video games. The skits in this are cringeworthy and punctuated as l with a random rear end interview of Icheb in the middle, but really comprehensive and shows a bunch of games I never existed. (Skips some really notable ones imo though, namely Anniversary Edition and Starfleet Academy Bridge Simulator)

I played the hell out of Star Trek: Elite Force multi-player back in high school. Shafe's mods were great. Freeze tag, Q-ball, throwing dumb poo poo into gsay. There were a ton of fantastic map makers back in the day. [Evil] and >DG< for life!

rewatching season 2 of TNG, something occurred to me. at the end of Elementary, Dear Data, they save the sentient Moriarty in the computer with the promise of one day letting him roam around once they figured out the tech. except the enterprise-D crashed before Voyager came back with the doctor's holo-emitter thing. so Moriarty went to sleep thinking Picard was a man of honor and he'd awaken someday in the future, only to die in a horrible fiery wreck and never know.

I thought that Generations implied that the Moriarty module survived the crash, like in a pile of stuff in the ready room or something.

We actually see him toss aside a gazillion year old ancient archeological treasure he was originally reverent over during TNG. That said I always assumed they mailed Moriarty's cube off to the Daystrom Institute or something, do we see it during Generations? MikeJF fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Oct 15, 2018 |

If they ever do do a future series there should be references to a hologram/AI 'homeworld' running in some data banks in SF that gets a Federation Council seat. Throw in some fanservice, say the Doctor was the first representative after campaigning and helping to found it, do a Picardo cameo on the Federation News Service.

Someone forgot the aggressively stupid and extremely written by a man episode of ENT that explains actually the Orion women are secretly in charge and control men with their wild passionate sex smells. This is somehow less sexist and condescending.

Was there a different NES one or are you talking about the NES version of 25th Anniversary that I definitely didn't play for 30 hours and get stuck on the temple puzzle in the first planet and then say fuckit and fly into the neutral zone to fight Romulans until I ran out of dilithium over and over until I got my friend who found a guide off usenet to beat it

Incidentally, this was the original intent of TNG and the Enterprise-D. The original plan was that it'd have 5000 people aboard but the skeleton crew count would be like 20 people, it was just a slice of Federation Society cruising along, tactically superior so much that battles didn't matter much, exploring and doing science and getting into ethical dilemmas. That's why it has families; it was meant to be almost a proto-GSV. And if they they did need to fight the battle section was their escort. They scaled back the count because they didn't have the budget and tech for the scope, and then the writing got a bit more traditional sci-fi pretty quick.

I still love that concept art of the grand hall-sized bridge with couches and barca loungers up front and an observation deck on the second floor, dudes just chillin' in the ship's command center.

I still think they should've stuck with the conference table on the bridge, it would've been much better in tense situations to call the staff around the table than actually leave the bridge and de-escalate the tension. Could've embedded a big map in it too.

Wow just watching that video I realise there's alot more Star Trek games than I was aware of. The time before the internet was a glorious one. I grew up playing 25th anniversary and Final Unity. I distinctly remember continually showing my friends the intro of Final Unity because I was in awe at how lifelike I thought the computer generated graphics and voice acting were... Uhhh... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwMVZJ5sawo I also remember a number of years later dad bringing home Judgement Rites, and being absolutely astonished that there was another one. When I saw the box I was convinced it had to be the first game re-named, because surely I would have heard of it. Still have it in it's 'limited edition' box with a pin and a VHS tape.

Ok, but what if it were a coffee table instead, and when they need to chat, they can have some nice mugs of java or hot chocolate, huddle up on big couches, and wear comfy sweaters?

There was a Myst-style DS9 adventure game for PC but I never played it. I rented the SNES DS9 game once or twice but the manual was missing and, as was so often the case with licensed properties back then, it probably wouldn't have helped make sense of the inane game logic or byzantine levels anyway. I think I made Sisko punch out Quark on the Promenade, at least. Hideous as it is to contemplate, Star Trek Online could well have the best DS9 gameplay yet produced.

Later on DS9 also had a shooter/adventure game called The Fallen that was apparently quite good, though.

One of my next door neighbors parents had that game and I have some distinct memories of playing it and finding it very hard. I never had access to Deep Space 9 growing up, so my understanding of the show came from a wierd mixture of this game mixed with a bunch of deep space 9 paperback novels I had. I loved Star trek but mostly knew it from whatever original series movies and random seasons of TNG my dad happened to have recorded from TV.
