This game got about 2 minutes of my attention, and i am still angry I paid for it. Did people actually play this one? I can't believe it made top 50 and Myst did not. Someone has to be on crack.
I think you hit it on the head in a big way. Voyager did have promise, and they ignored it. (1) By what, episode 2, no more Marquis (sp) fed tention. Everything good.
(2) Ignoring supplies. This is not just nitpicking about number of torpedoes and things like that. What a plot device. If Janeway had to think before she shot.... Even more so, damage would not be fixable. If you got a hole shot in the ship, it would always be there. Consequnces for actions, could have been wonderful.
(3) As you wrote, real ethical dilemas. Since you could pretend there was always a starbase for fixing, and you never did run out of crew even on a small ship, it was easy to stay on prime directive. Would have been better to see more temptation.
(4) I could go on, but these are a few things that made the show painful to me.
Actually, how hard is it?

Ya know, I keep reading this crap about it being several series and it is too hard to keep track of it all, but there is a great deal of evidence that this is bologna! Come on, half the fans spot the inconsistencies very quickly. I keep asking myself "do the writers actually watch the shows?" Some small errors will always occur. Few get upset if the red button fires torpedoes in one episode, and blue does it in another. But for God sakes, after someone starts codifying things like torpedoes, warp, sheilds, etc by the time they made the manuals in TNG, these erros should be all done. My two cents.
I think I have read/ scene several times that the Enterprise was the first starship. Oh, warp existed, but a starship was designed with science labs etc. I am sure they will flush this continuity down the drain, with tons of other stuff. Do they even try?
