Features & Content[ | ]
Star Trek Gamers has an extensive game mod downloads section which covers most of the well-known games. The content of the downloads ranges from common official patches for the games to fan made game modifications. As a site it also uses the only clan/fleet directory of its kind in Star Trek gaming which is based on the clan directory designed and made by CentralOutpost.com.
As of August 10, 2007 it also became the first fan-run Star Trek gaming site to offer a YouTube-style video-sharing site for recorded game footage.
To date several well-known fandom sites in Star Trek have awarded Star Trek Gamers with various awards and independent reviews. Most notably, Bernd Schneider's "Ex Astris Scientia" website gave the award to the Star Trek Gamers website on two separate occasions, once in 2003([8]) and again in 2006 ([9]), so far the only website to receive the famous "horgon" logo award from EAS on two separate occasions.
