"This is my first Starfleet Command game, this game is pretty good in graphic
and sound. I didnt play online with other players, so i cant tell much. My view
about this game is, hmm this is "StarSHIP command", you command YOUR ONLY ship,
you cannot do much about FLEET, you must let the AI to join your fleet, they can
leave whenever they want, they wont upgrade their ship even u did like 100
missions with them(I can upgrade my 1st ship to best ship in game and they still
using the poorest ship, i can see they are damn rich) About the campain gameplay,
its BAD, you must follow the story line, you cant move much away, if the story
told u must get to a location, if u didnt did that in time(very short time
given, time is calculating even u are refiting your ship, hiring officers...)
the game will move you to the location, and once you reach there, your only
option is follow the story line(even u forgot resupply your marrine, mines or
forgot to equip your ship with any weapon, you cant move !! So just click
mission begins and being killed, and Game Over. About conquest game, borg ship
is godly strong, I able to complete a mission in less than a min(capture that
ship without making a shoot, i warp fast and stop infront of that ship and make
boarding while that ship shield down and preparing to cloak :p, stupid AI :p,
did that many times). Right now i am looking for patch hoping to making changes
in conquest cause you only able to expand your empire if you can find an enemy
ship in a HEX that no one own it and win a battle with it, but its difficult to
find an enemy ship at those place, you can find them easy in enemy space. And
after u have the strongest ship, best officers(they can leveling very quicky
after a winning battle), the game gets boring(just like u have reach max level
in Diablo2, using best EQ), nothing much you can do to inprove yourself, and you
will feel the AI becomes even stupider, a ship thats 10% of your size brave
enough to challenge you and if u do not engage in battle with it(by forfeit),
you lose, but if you engage it, you can kill it in several hits and even u just
shield up, that ship will never be able to hurt you. I feel Starcontrol II(a
game 10+ years ago) is somehow better. At last, graphic and sound is good(battle)
Gameplay is totally too bad" - Wong Junn Kit
"Some people should learn how to play a game. Excellent stuff. Nuf said." - Steve
"game is very sensitive, had to build a new system with only the operating
system installed to play it. customer support was very unhelpful as they only
gave canned responses to questions.
game play is very poor as you have to follow the storyline, fail a mission and
keep having to repeat it until you win. also the computer controlled ship are
not very smart and it is too easy to capture ships. to win most mission, just
capture a few of the enemy and you now have a fleet of cannon fodder
as i own all the other star fleet games, i bought this one, but i am waiting for
a patch to reduce the number of crashes and improve game play.
if you tell your crew to tractor something, they turn the tractor off when you
go to or leave warp???????
good tactic, tractor an enemy, pull him with you and drop mines as you go, he
will run into them and die" - birdman
"It is the best game ever" - Grant
