This game is a must have for someone who is interested in the inner workings of star trek starships. The mission part of the game is really pathetic. The missions are really boring and become repetitive after a while. If one could design the ship, plug in the parts, and then play with the ships kinda like in Klingon academy it would be awsome. Importing your own ship designs into Klingon academy would make it fun to shoot up different kinds of ships. Being able to customize your ship would be a big plus in most star trek flight simms. With the help of this game it could come true.

Great Starship Creator but the misssions ........

The 3D creation of your own ship is spectacular. Assembling your own ship provides lots of interesting options to create your own fleet. However the missions should be more interactive and in 3D also. The big letdown is the mission part. The "write your own mission" is still too difficult with the drag and drop. It's too hard to follow. A better system to make it user friendly would put this game over the top.

A little better than just good.

The opportunity to write your own missions is the best part. Read the directions for writing missions carefully! I would like to have seen the Prometheus Class Starship from the Deluxe or Add-On-pack printable on "Systems." In this program, you have a whole library of sound and visual effects to program into a mission if you are patient enough to learn how to program your own missions. It still lacks the variety of crewmembers from the Original Series of Star Trek, the same problem found in the Original and Add-On Pack. Occasionally, I have had problems with the sound quality. To solve this, go back to the Start Bar and go back to the Warp2 icon in Accessories. It has not been as "back-compatible" to the Original Starship Creator and Add-On Pack as far as Imported Missions I programmed myself as I expected. When you find out that all you have to do is import then remove present ships from each admirals fleet, and gain all those credits suddenly, (hundreds of thousands!)what you have accomplished sending ships on missions and succeeding in your goals doesn't mean as much as earning them the hard way. It sure helps when you want to equip your ships with all the Advanced Option equipment! A Plus is the ability to print various systems on the Starships. The exterior shots are striking! A good buy for the extras.

Is this the worst game ever?

Starship Creator must be the worst game ever to be written. The missions are fully automated, not allowing the user to have any control, and even in Accelerated mode, the missions take five to seven real minutes to complete. The crew choice is stupid, too. How are you supposed to recruit crew to your ship, in the Alpha Quadrant, from a ship that is stranded in the Delta Quadrant! Do not buy this game. You will be very unhappy once you install/play it.

Starship SELF-DESTRUCT Creator

What in the name of creation led to the production of this revolting pile of poop. If Starship Creator and its Deluxe edition weren't enough of an embarrassment, then the authors certainly achieved what has to be the greatest defacation of software garbage in the ST gaming genre. I personally couldn't believe that I actually bought this worthless piece of junk, but in saving face, I can admit that I did so based on name alone- lowering my opinion for the licensing standards of the ST name that Paramount retains. Whoever created second edition of this game should be shot. It maintains the same rediculous promises that it never delivers in previous versions and worse yet, it leaves out ships that were part of previous releases. On the upside, it allows you to export the ships you create the into Dominion Wars DS9 game which might be useful. Otherwise, you are wasting time as far as a stand alone product, especially if you are expecting to have a good time. Evidently, what passes for fun with Simon & Schuster is the kind of game that plays like a DOS reject, without the frills, bells or whistles. To make matters worse, its graphic content reflects this philosophy making it the worst ST game I have ever played. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME. You will not experience any actual gameplay outside of selecting parts or crew members from a list. This game bites.

If it worked, I might like it

To be fair, I bought the game when it first came out and have just now installed it. And I can't get it to work. The program tells me that there is no CD in the drive, when it IS in there. And the website is apparently gone, so I have no idea how to get tech support. I may edit this review if I actually get it work, but right now I'm irritated at finally having a computer the software would work with and it still not working. Grrrrrr.

worst ever

this game is my #100 game I've ever played... out of 100! This game is HORRIBLE. Don't waste your money on this as it takes forever to play the mission, and i haven't used it for months. i'd recommend starfleet command if you are looking for the next step up. notice the prices... $0.01??? tells you it is cheap. i do not like it. all you do is change the ship around, add crew, and then wait for 30 minutes and finally it sometimes will blow your ship up, and you can't use it again.

Starship Creator Warp 2 - Disappointing

This game was actually a freebie when I bought Star Trek Deep Space Nine Dominion Wars. I recently bought Star Trek Starship Creator Deluxe which was made a year before this Warp 2 sequel.
Starship Creator Deluxe has much more ship constructions to chose from than the new Warp 2 has to offer. In Warp 2 you only get Akira, Soveriegn, Intrepid, Constitution, Defiant, Galaxy, and Klingon B'rel Class Ships to construct. In Starship Creator Deluxe (which by the way includes Starship Creator and Starship Creator Add-on) you may construct from more than 10 different ships - Excelsior, Miranda, Constitution, Defiant, Akira, Oberth, Prometheus, Soveriegn, Intrepid, and Galaxy. Warp 2 has less ships and the missions are pretty boring. You could sleep through it and the mission would still be successful. The computer plays the missions out without any real play control from the player. You can however design that dream starship you always wanted to create. If you really want to buy a Starship Creator, I would recommend buying the Star Trek Starship Creator Deluxe which allows the player to create 10 federation ships whereas Starship Creator Warp 2 allows only 6 federation ships and the additional one Klingon B'rel. On a plus side, Warp 2 allows the player to export their designed ships of Akira, Galaxy, and Defiant into Star Trek DS9 Dominon Wars multiplayer mode for gameplay online. However the Galaxy class starships that are exported into the Dominon Wars Game turns out to be invisible (A really big bug/glitch!!!) Some ships appear to not have been modified at all during exporting - such as Akira class ships and they appear to be discolored (example: Engines powered down, and lights on the ship are off even during combat).
Gameplay = 3/10
Graphics = 2/10
Sound = 2/10
Value = 3/10

The most boring game I have ever purchased.

This game came bundled with Deep Space Nine: Dominion Wars, so I should not have expected much. I had purchased the original Starship Creator, and I was very disappointed with it also. I had hoped that the game was going to be improved over the original. Unfortunatly, this is not the case. You have no ability to control the missions once they are started, so basically you must sit back and wait and wait and wait. Eventually you will grow weary of the empty unsatisfying feeling in your gut and turn the game off. By far the worse game I have ever played. Please don't get your hopes up like I did and play this "game".

interested, but not in gameplay

Here, I am trying to find a good build your own starship from the star trek universe. And what is there? Build your own ship and take it out and get blown up. There are plenty of software out there for that. I want a software that lets me build different star trek ships (LOTS of them, not just 7,8,9, or 10). Is there such a software? I hope someone makes one. Put it in an external hard drive, Heck i'D buy it!
