Good, but . . .

Don't get me wrong, I like this game. I've only played it in it's pre-patch form, but I rather enjoyed the slow pace of expanding and fighting. The major flaw this game has, is the Borg. Regardless of the race I play and how powerful I am, the Borg are virtually invincible. If by some miracle you can beat the ship they send to your homeworld, they send two ships, and so on. They are so persistent and make the Antarans of MOOII look like sissies who don't try hard enough. If you could turn off the Borg, or if a patch makes them less godlike then buy this game, if not, look elsewhere.

Good,but not a real interactive battle game..

This is a pretty good game if you want to learn a little bit more about other species/races, or if you want to see how much territory you can acquire...or see how long you can keep your empire's morale up. But if you're looking for a game with extremely interactive fights, this is not your game. *Opinion: If you want to fight, buy Star Trek: Starfleet Command. It's a great game!!! And there are a lot of surprises..*But I'm not here to talk about that one, am I?

Very Good

This game is one of the best i have played yet. It is very addictive. However i must agree with earlier statements that this game is very complicated, way to complicated as a matter of fact but it still gets my five(5) stars.

Tough to get the hang of

I received this game as a second-hand gift from a friend, who told me he was having too much trouble understanding it. I was able to figure it out, but I've played Civs 2 and 3, so I'm used to this game format. Overall, it's a fun game, though I have yet to actually win. Also, some of the technilogical advancements are pretty bland, with level increases being denoted by number (automated farms 6 as opposed to automated farms 5, etc.) Ship level increases are similarly uncreative (increased with the "II" denominator). Not a bad game, but I'm told it's expensive.

good game for trekkers

This game is very good for Star Trek fans. the multiplayer abilities make this game something special. One drawback is the micromanagement and slow speed for larger galaxies. Overall a very good strategy game.

Great Turn Based Game!

Awesome game. If you're into turn based games and Star Trek then this is the ultimate game for you.
The only reason I didn't give five stars was due to the ship design. This is partially because I'm a Star Trek fanatic and so I know these things...for example.
The Galaxy Class ship is a 'short range' ship with limited sensors. Obviously, if you know Star Trek, this is far from true. I just feel the ship specs could've been based more on the show and still maintained a balance for the game. However, I should point out that this can be easily remedied by downloading ship editors online, it's just alot of work.

Game has some bugs...

Yes, the game is fun if you like TNG. But, what many people are not saying, the game has a few bugs in it. One of the bigger ones is a "memory leak" which makes the game run extremely slow and sometimes crash after you get to the later turns in the game.
Combat is very uncreative, and could use a little better sequences.
The only way to win diplomatically is to pay races in credits, which by the TNG Era money was not necessary to Earth or the federation, so the credits are not something that should be in the game.
