Are there any games with turn-based space battles that have full conversion mods of Star Trek ships?

I really like turn-based strategy games, but whenever I try a sci-fi game, I always just find myself wishing that it was Star Trek instead. Are there any games like that which have been converted to Star Trek?
 
Have you ever tried Birth of the Federation? That's a Turn Based PC game (which is VERY good).
 
I do remember trying that some time ago. My vague memory of it is that I was pretty put off by the visual presentation. I hated how it was supposed to be like a "through the generations" type of thing, but all the ship models were just TNG-era. Is that an accurate recollection?
 
It was TNG era. The game patches and faster PCs make it much better to play. My Pentium 233 would, at times, take 30 minutes per turn during large space battles!

It was fun, and I enjoyed it. Shame it's not been ported to Tablet yet.
 
I've been re-discovering BOTF lately. I've been paying the Ultimate Mod 5...mod. It is the first mod I have ever played with the game. I am really enjoying it! The AI isnt great, so no need to give yourself a huge advantage. Within the first 50 turns, Earth was transformed into a Desert Planet. This was a MAJOR hit for my empire. But you know..I'm pulling through.

Beyond that, I've been toying with the idea of getting Sins of a Solar Empire to get the "Star Trek Armada 3" mod. It really does look impressive.
 
Stellaris is a new 4x game that seems like it was designed specifically to be modded for Star Trek as if the developer wanted to make a Star Trek 4x game but didn't want to pay for the license.

There are already good mods in development. I'm paying attention to Stellaris ST mods.
