"Space Trek"??

"Space Trek" was actually what I called my alternate-ENT fanfic a few years ago. A million other people have probably come up with that title as well...
 
It looks like a completely unauthorized attempt at doing a Star Trek ripoff online game. And it's almost certainly being run from somewhere other than the UK, despite the URL. I mean, read this stuff:
* A elaborate game concept ensures that you may be any time so good as the oldest players!

* Bashing (robbing) of game beginners is a foreign word in STNE!

* You don't need to be online anytime and you don't have to have fear that you might be attacked

* Every planet, every building and every spaceship is individual for itself and is administerable in many details. STNE marks itself by a complicated Micromanagement from.

* By the huge complexity of STNE you will never be boring!
That's not basic Internet illiteracy, that's written by someone for whom English is at best a second language. Some of it has the sound of Google translation.

There's a forum, and it's all but dead and full of spam. So from the looks of it this is an unsuccessful attempt at ripping off Trek.
 
^ Hmm. The only thing left out is the bit about the Nigerian prince who needs your help (money) to free his people.....
 
Actually it's based in Germany, and while I know nothing about the forum I did play the game for a while. There's enough open space that you can explore in relative peace, but enough people that you can go on a warpath as well if you'd like.

It's not the greatest game in the world, but it's not bad for being Browser based.

The reason for the translation errors is because it's originally in german, and they are still in process of translating much of it for their english speaking players.
 
If an official game cannot make it as a MORP I cannot see how an imitation can get anywhere.

Why is it that no one can develop a good ST game?
