Tell me captain, if the federation is so great why are there no good star trek games?

Because the rights for the Trek Franchise are split and CBS is going to much trigger happy with takedowns that fangames such as Excalibur have to lay low to the point of completion.
I'm surprised Armada 3 released three times at all.

There's gotta be at least one decent one, right?
Also what constitutes a good Star Trek game?

I played Elite Force 1 and that wasn't too bad for a retro game. I especially liked the level where it was a mash of different spaceship interiors. Definitely had that old-style Quake 3 level design feel.

because there aren't enough bajorans in the gaming industry

If you want a good Star Trek game, no joke, play Star Ocean 1 and Star Ocean 2. It's like if a landing party got stuck on a planet locked in medieval stasis and Kirk had to learn magic.

I've been watching ds9, dukat is based and bajor is rightful cardassian soil.

It's bad when your species is uglier than fuckin Klingons.

There's a reason I mentioned SO1 and 2 alone. They are very different games from what the franchise turned into. It's a landing party story viewed from the perspective of the natives.

Elite Force 1 is great, if a bit too short. I really, really like its art design.

The Tholians need to be in more games.

Federation is pretty awful, though, I would consider it a dystopia (in the sense of incredibly undesirable development of civilization, not including the common connotation of totalitarianism or whatever): It's technically a post-scarcity civilization, but that's mostly accomplished through people wanting less. I'd much rather live somewhere like the Culture than a civilization where people's freedom to pursue their interests (~=material wealth) doesn't really seem greater than my own.

Anyhow, the good Star Trek episodes are the ones that explore various philosophical questions, like "The Measure of Man" or "In the Pale Moonlight", and there are few to no game designers who can translate that sort of deliberation into interactivity. In terms of action, worldbuilding and shit, Star Trek isn't in any way compelling, so while I think Trek is a whole has valuable qualities, those aren't the kind of qualities that would make for good vidya.

They're pretty prominent in Star Trek Online

Imagine the pain from a neckchop.

It was the eve of the Jannies withdraw, Elim and I were interrogating five shitposters, they were CHILDREN, doctor! None of them where older than 15 years old. They knew nothing, they lived in blue-boards, they scrounged for dubs on the street, they were FILTHY and they STANK!
Oh, the room was freezing cold, the AIR was like ice and suddenlly the whole exercise seem utterly meaningless, all I wanted was a HOT MEAL and some WARM TENDIES

Sisko is by far the worst captain

Literally MILLIONS of bajoran women were creampied over and over by cardassian soldiers. And it really bothers Kira how hot she thinks that fact is.

Kardassians are just Klingons after the stagg actually learned how to write good alien races that are warmongers.

"Computer in the Homlesian style create a mystery to confound anonymous with an opponent who has the ability to rape him."

The writers of TNG were big weebs though. No reason the two can't go together.
