one reason i like games such as Bridge Commander and Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
give me a world to explore and not know what will happen next and i'm happy.
just wish they did a new BC game designed for exploration. i mean how difficult is it to make a star trek game that allows exploration of the alpha, beta, gamma and delta quadrants. with random events happening like alien incursions, alien first contacts, war, anomalies, discoveries.
i mean how cool would it be to leave space dock in your ship and head out on a shakedown cruise, only to find that your upgraded sensors have picked up a new element on an asteroid. you transport it to the ship for analysis and after time you get a report that the element is able to be used as advanced dilithium or something.
or an anomaly forms in wolf 359 and you go to investigate and discover... something (not necessarily to do with the borg either :roll)
