Well, I finally gave it a try and was hoping the reviews were just harsh and I would enjoy it, but they were pretty accurate, the game is crap once the novelty of it fades away.First, too much battle, setting the game in a war time period was a mistake.Then the currency being a major part of game play, espcially to get better ships etc, is just unfaithful to what star trek is all about.Probably the part that annoys me the most is you can't go where you want from the start, can't explore on your own.Then it won't let you fire weapons at will etc. No collision models etc This is what happens when people who are not true fans of Trek get to create a game.
