Apparently they couldn't find a publisher.

Bummer - I was looking forward to this game.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,

Wasn't it just a browser game?  Or am I thinking of something else?

You may be right. I remember you had to have a special plug in to view ships. Still, a good Star Trek game would be fun.

Whoever controls the ST video game rights should team up with the World of Warplanes guys to do a straight up starship combat game. Call it 'Galaxy of Starships' or something.

I'm bummed out as well, but I'm not surprised.  Given that work on the game was suspended a year ago, it was unfortunately easy to see the writing on the wall.  Still sad, though.

Star Trek Online is still F2P, so at least you have that option.

But it's been 10 years since Interplay and Activision stopped making games..

Would like to see another version of Starfleet Command tactical combat with modern graphics and 3 dimensional combat.. Or a strategy game based on Federation Space or Federation and Empire.

I have to be one of the few who never really enjoyed Star Trek when growing up, couldn't really make it through any of the TV episodes/movies.....I was much more a Star Wars person.

Yeah!  It would be, as the kids say these days, epic. :)

I didn't get into the tv shows and only rarely saw one that wasn't the original series.

But I always enjoyed the rare starship fights, and some of the tabletop games portraying that.  The Starfleet Command game series is still high on my all-time favorites list, and I've owned most of the tabletop starship tac battle games in the past.  The main reason I got a lifetime sub to STO was for the starship combat - unfortunately the lousy ground part sucks up too much time IMO.   :-\

Not really.  Everyone knows Star Wars kicks Star Trek's ass.  I mean, seriously, look at the uniforms those Star Trek guys wear.....LAME!

I could not figure out how to insert a picture into the forum post, so I deleted it.
