Anyone know of any 'Trek' style old school games that still might have a following on the 'internets'? I can't quite remember the name of one that used to get a lot of play on college networks in the 90s and possibly later... it was networked and each player had a ship and coordinated with others on his team against another team. Effective battle tactics and communication with teamates were mandatory for victory. Anyone here know of that one or played it in its day?

You mean Netrek (http://netrek.org/)?

Unfortunately games like Netrek are a dying breed considering how anti-social the future generations look to be. Play it while it lasts.
