I find it simply tragic that this game hasn't made it to GOG yet, it took all the great gameplay of the first game, made several QoL upgrades and added new races from the old table-top game (Starfleet Battles, for those not aware that SFC was a spiritual adaptation of that TT battle sim), which introduced complex new strategical challenges. As I recall, although I never completed the story, it had a more fully realized story mode that could be played from the perspective different factions. I still have my game disc in usable state, but I lack the technical expertise to setup the emulation for it to function properly if I were to install the game. My love for this game over the first does come with a slight bias, because one of my favorite races to play on TT was ISC, the proverbial "Villain / Antagonist" for the story. Hehe, writing this actually makes me want to dig into the back of my closet to find my rules and game gear for SFB so I can introduce my grandkids to the game. I used to play 1v1 with my kids to kill time while we supervised the laundry at our apartment complex, then sit and watch TNG together before they went to bed.

I spent many hours as all factions mostly the Federation and Klingons, I loved the lore and the era of star trek that this is set in with a beautiful story and the ability to shape the star trek universe in a way never before seen. I fought the ISC in the largest battle I had ever played at the time and was mesmerised by the effect and how was blown by how I felt like a real captain. This is a MUST Star Trek game!!!!
The extra two factions and improved damage textures are what make this game stand out from its predecessor. I would love to try to beat this game again. Some missions in the Starfleet Command series are extremely difficult, but it was a game I dumped so many hours into.

The Starfleet Command series deserves to be in a playable state on modern hardware. Fantastic titles with stories and gameplay you won't find anywhere else. All we're missing is SC 2 and Orion Pirates.

This is the one of the games i most regret missing out on. I bought the original SFC and then the 3rd one but I should have bought this one too. If the QOL improvements are what they say then I want it. I will give GOG the money. Bring it back!

I loved all the creative new factions and ships in this game, which I played over and over. Personally my favorite of all the Starfleet Command games as the one that felt the deepest and the most interested in expanding the universe, not just playing in it. Might be one of the best Star Trek games of all time!
i miss the isc plasmatic pulsar device. please bring back this game. i loved the challenge of earning medals and getting promoted in the game. romulans were awesome too especially the kondor.

My uncle gave me the disk for this and orion pirates. I remember playing it obsessively, I wasn't very good but it was engrossing to fly missions for the different factions and customize your fleet and getting new ships. It just felt right

This is the best space combat sim I have ever played. As a fan of the Starfleet Battles Tabletop game, which this is an adaptation of to computere, the combat system makes facing, movement speed, weapon arcs, energy levels, all important to claiming victory. Nothing else has ever come close. I also loved the skrimish mode, which made the game eternally playable, until it would no longer run on windows. Please bring it back.
So many hours in this major improvement over Starfleet Command I. While crude, the Metaverse works pretty well, the matchmaking was decent, and the graphics for the time were amazing. There are tons of mods available, and a renewed version of this game would go a long way of cementing the game in Star Trek history as fondly as Starfleet Academy for some people.
