Although still in alpha, this fan project is apparently already playable - better yet, there are plans to port it to Android.

On a related note, I just noticed this fan-made Star Trek strategy game that looks promising.

ST project is apparently dormant. :(
I downloaded this a few weeks ago, to check it out. I got the non-HD version (I think?) which is pretty much up to snuff IIRC. Haven't really fired it up though.
DOOOO WAAAANNNNNTTTT!!
