I pick it up again every once in a while. I just had a slate of particularly miserable emeritus short losses, including one where 9 of the 13 Klingons left were in one sector. I was docked in a Starbase adjacent to that sector, and I could have sent an armed probe. Instead, to not get any more planet loss points, I decided, "I'm just gonna take em with phasers." I got killed immediately.

I don't think so, but I do have very fond memories of playing a Trek game that I have not been able to identify despite quite a bit of searching.

Part of the problem was that I think my dad would get the game to a certain stage for me and then hand over the computer so I could fly around space and shoot things, so my memories are only of a very specific little bit of the game.

This would have been early to mid 90s, on a dual-boot machine, but I think I remember launching it in Linux?

If anybody has the faintest recollection of a 90s (or earlier) Trek game where you could fire phasers or photon torpedoes, and the photon torpedoes looked kind of like a pair of twinkling yellow stars, I would at least feel a little less crazy.

Nah, 99% sure that it wasn't multiplayer.

Thanks for trying though!
