[citation][nom]anamaniac[/nom]I hope it doesn't tarnish the great Start Trek name. Kirk and Picard were great, Janeway was decent, Deepspace 9 was a failure, Archer was alright, and while the movie was good, it seemingly had very little actually in common with Star Trek.[/citation]
You'd be surprised, Deep Space 9 wins a lot of fan polls, especially for it's seasons after the second. It basically created the Star Trek arc concept, in that one episode leads to another for many episodes (not just two-parters).
As anamaniac says, the movie is very Star Trek, more of it's original roots than many other of the latest movies/series have been.
[citation][nom]tayb[/nom]Star Trek is not the kind of movie series that lends itself well to a game. Star Wars was practically written to be an RPG with the Jedi learning all sorts of skills as they grow up. All of the Star Wars movies could pretty easily make their own game whereas almost none of the Star Trek movies could I imagine being made into a compelling game. The universe is big but I just can't figure out what in the world you are going to do in it while staying true to what "Star Trek" is all about. I see major failing in the future of this game.[/citation]
What is Star Trek all about? There are many facets of Star Trek, that go beyond a captain and his ship. Mystery, intrigue, back-stabbing politicians, and so on. The actual "world" of Star Trek is much more than the paradise that is often portrayed on TV. Maybe mystical skills as with Jedi wouldn't show up as much in Star Trek, but engineering, diplomatic, military, privateering and other more traditional skills do.
