The thing that you must consider is that Lone Wolf and Tank Commander aer more in the genre of simulation games. They involve tactics more than strategy, in that the short term is the goal.
I n the Star Trek games, the player controls several resources. The concepts of Trek 2000 and Star Trek Final Conflict are fairly similar, although the two seem to be set in different eras. In the simulation games, the goal is to destroy your enemy without being destroyed yourself, from the point of view of a single unit against many. Everything happens in real time. Actually, both games are fairly similar in their perspective, they just use different keys to go about doing what they do. Trek 2k and Final Conflict are turn based. It is theoretically possible to sit for hours, thinking. I've never done this, but it is possible. Both games feature manual and automatic navigation, though trek 2k offers the useful option of setting your ship to go in a specific direction via degrees not on a cardinal baring. They both feature multiple weapons systems, phasers and torpedos, though Final Conflict offers two kinds of torpedo. I woulr realistically compare Lone Wolf with Tank Commander, Trek 2000 with Star Trek Final Conflict, and say that, in each genre, each game has advantages and disadvantages over the other in terms of what units can do, how players control things, and overall presentation of information.
