* AdaptationExpansion: Many versions of the game add extra elements to the basic gameplay, such as:
** CloakingDevice: ''EGA Trek'' also included Romul... "Vandal" ships with this ability.
** DeathOrGloryAttack: One frequent addition to the game is to equip a superweapon on the player's ship, like the DeathRay from ''EGA Trek''.  If it worked, it killed every enemy in a sector.  When it didn't work, it could do enough damage to destroy the player's ship, or (in ''EGA Trek'') mutate your crew and have them [[InterfaceScrew draw smiley faces on the interface]].
** UndergroundMonkey: ''EGA Trek'' had a variety of {{Palette Swap}}ed "Mongol" ships as EliteMooks.
* CaptainErsatz: Since the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' franchise was copyrighted and trademarked, any company that wants to sell a variant of the game has to [[SerialNumbersFiledOff file all the serial numbers off]]. For example, when Radio Shack wanted to sell the Sol-20 variant "TREK 80" for its TRS80 microcomputer, they renamed it "Invasion Force", and had it feature the starship ''U.S.S. Hephaestus'' firing its masers and triton missiles at Jovian warships.  Similarly, ''EGA Trek'' went with "Mongols".
