Logic dictates they are holding back the sequel to generate money on the first, Captain.

You guys realize that they are releasing the first one now..

Which means the much better SFC2, containing the same and much more, will be out before long.



But if you don't want to wait... you can purchase SFC2: Orion Pirates from Dynaverse.net for around $6.  It has all the extra races, ships, Dynaverse campaign, etc plus slightly improved ship textures & such. 

http://www.dynaverse.net/market/5-star-trek-starfleet-command-orion-pirates.html

I picked up SFC2:OP there within the last 2 months.  Got a key and the digital download.  Runs rock solid on my Win7-64.

Yup.

I think GOG is great, but I've seen them do this a few times in the past (holding back a much improved sequel release for awhile to sell the original first).  S'okay, I have patience!

While I'm going to wait for the sequel (and its expansion -- which my mind swears to me I already have around here somewhere but I can't find it), I do hope the release of the first game in its Gold upgrade state will introduce new fans so that the sequel will sell better. :)

Which is less cynically capitalistic than the other theory, though I don't blame GoG if the other theory is (also?) true. They have to make a living somehow, so they can stay in business and provide us with access to grand old games.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

I've not tried to use my old disk for SFC2:EAW but I hear that it's disk check DRM (and possibly other stuff) screws up on Win7/8 64-bit systems for many people. 

That digital download of SFC2:OP works fine for me, however.  Only a serial number entry DRM.  OP was just EAW re-released with some software updates and extra features.  Those must've helped it's compatibility on our modern OSes.



Wish I could find my SFC2:EAW manual.  That thing was excellent.  Back when they gave you thick manuals.  :)  The PDF is easy to find but I'm a Book Sniffer.

I'm going to hold on for SFC2.  I never actually played that one. 

Got great memories of SFC1 though.  Lost my virginity the night I purchased the game to a hot Italian girl visiting me from Long Island.  Didn't get to install or play it for a few days since she had most of my attention.

Long Island? What's her name? I'm in Suffolk County.
