Flash Trek 2

Flash Trek 2: Broken Mirror is an online browser-based computer game set in the Star Trek universe created by someone known as Vex Xiang. It is actually set in the Mirror Universe, a parallel universe depicted in several Star Trek episodes. It simulates operation of a variety of starships from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Deep Space 9. Players can buy and sell items, attack enemies, and build resources on planets, as well as create empires of their own. Players can select different races to play as or play as an independent. It is programed in the Flash computer language.

Players begin with a small ship called a "runabout" or scout. They accumulate money by performing various trade missions or raiding ships. Once they have accumulated money, known as "latinum," they can purchase new ships, or weapons and other tools.

Eventually players can build up prestige and use it to take over planets. However, this only works with planets that have no enemies. Buying a ship requires the player to have a certain amount of prestige in the system in which the ship is offered for purchase. The larger the ship, the more prestige is required.

This game has a level of complexity and sophistication which is unusual for most browser-based games or flash games. It creates a game setting containing multiple star systems with planets and other features, and offers a wide range of ship functions and systems, as well as player interactions. In this respect, it harkens back to the earliest Star Trek starship computer games, which often achieved a depth previously unseen for the different platforms which they appeared on, including mainframes and various PC operating systems.

Flash Trek 2 is the sequel to Flash Trek which is a game also depicting a starship in the Star Trek universe, though with less game features and a simpler interface.

Flash Trek 2 is the latest in a line of Flashtrek games as follows:

* Flashtrek
* Flash Trek: Assault
* Flash Trek: Romulan Wars
* Flash Wars - game set in Star Wars universe, with many similarities.
