Will Mr.Spock as Captain Kirk's second-in-command accept the Klingon's challenges ?
One of the first programs that I typed into my old computer, way back in the Dark Ages (pre-internet), but not the only time... I cannot recall how many times I entered that program over the past 4+ decades... Old but still a classic. Looking forward to your version... Suggestion: Seeing the game is pure text, you may wish to present it as intended, white text on black... or perhaps a "dash of colour"? Perhaps an option on startup?
Live long and prosper.

Edit : I tried to learn Klingon language, but I gave up

too much puzzlement
For example, I used
https://www.bing.com/translator/
English to Klingon (Latin ) .... thank you =
nuqneH
Klingon (Latin) to English ....
nuqneH = what do you want
Conclusion : It's better to continue programming the Star Trek than to learn Klingon

I have had the same problem with different on-line applications. As you have correctly shown, translating in both directions, produces different results.
I found a Klingon Dictionary... warning: not the best if you want to translate sentences etc... As it is only a dictionary. The dictionary will also explain how to pronounce words in Klingon. Learning Klingon, using a dictionary, is a VERY steep learning curve and will take a GREAT deal of practice and patience...

Meanwhile, please allow me to test some functionalities for few days
Code:
'===============================================================================
'STAR TREK N7
' Inspired by the 1970s Star Trek (BASIC) by Mike Mayfield and Bob Leedom.
' Star Trek N7 is a simplified and modified version.
' It's not intended as a conversion from the original version, but rather
' it's just a proof of concept of text-based adventure game.
'
' Tips to play STAR TREK N7 :
' 1. Learn the coordinate system in this game.
' You have to know where your starship on the coordinate system.
' 2. Write down on a piece of paper some Klingon phrases,
' it helps you to communicate with Klingon.
' 3. Find starbase to increase your energy and improve starship's condition
' 4. Use warp speed and phaser wisely, they consume a lot of energy
' 5. Watch carefully your dashboard : stardate, condition, phaser and energy
'================================================================================
Apart from point #2, everything else sounds somewhat familiar... This is going to be fun!
Quote:Good News, Star Trek N7 is going to be released Next Week
I need to know your secret. How can you possibly know that the program will be ready within a week? Let me guess... You have a team of junior programmers on hand... You have a Crystal Ball... You are a Time Traveler... Oh no! You are highly motivated and extremely organized! There are days that I have difficulty in choosing what to have for breakfast... "released next week"? I am not a Star Wars fan but... I am reminded of a quote by Darth Vader (The Empire Strikes Back (1980)) "Impressive. Most impressive. Obi-wan has taught you well..."
