I just received a PM from MystikShadows with some excellent suggestions on expanding the game play that I am going to try and implement. It will require extensive recoding, but it will be worth it in the long run. I don't really want to release the game in it's current state, since it is, to put it bluntly, a bit boring. 
One thing I am going to change is the combat. I am going to show my age here, but does anyone remember the old SSI space combat game (I can't remeber the title at the moment)? It was similiar to the StarFleet board game; a turn based combat game where you fly around and shoot at the bad guys. I loved that game and played it countless hours on my old Atari computer. I want to add something like it in FreeTrek.
If anyone else has some suggestions, let me know. I would love to do an OpenGL, 3D game, but I am too dumb to even know how to start something like that, :o, so I will have to pass on that right now.
