    Pro - Overly Insane amount of customization from characters appearance, Uniforms to some ships like the super kitbash miranda class - your build can become meta almost without buying anything - some or most story arc is good - Pew pew pew is nice Mid - This game required you to be very patient in almost everything - Exchange can be your best friend or your worst foe - Questionable choice from the devs when item that was once free, came back but as a purchaseable item with the price of $75USD for example. - Old content that was once liked and benefit by the community were removed by the devs cus reasons Con - Game is on Skeleton crew that only focus on ship release , so things like Quality of life, Bug fix and Story may take little while or longer, but when they do, it's great to see. - getting ship from lockbox or C-store are expensive, ranging from $10 - $400+ depend on sheer luck - Dill exchange are broken, likely one of the reasons is due to the devs poor choice of Nerfing Pheonix upgrade token, this hurts F2P players to resort to spent real cash. - Communication between the Devs and the player are questionable, and they only quick to response from mass community protests. Overall it's the great game, and i want this game to do better, not as a money laundry.

    I was a founder on pc for this game, quit playing and picked it up again when released on console. After not being able to get my founder bonuses I quit, came back a few years later for a bit and quit again. Picked it back up last week, the depth added over the years is astounding! I’m sooooooo hooked again like it was just released! In 9 days now I got my 65 fed 3/4 caught up to the point I’m tempted to do elites, took my Jem’ Hadar from 50 to 65, started a Discovery and got them to 20, started a Klingon and am grinding hard(currently 58) Ignore the dated graphics, overwhelmed UI and enjoy the universe and massive end game content! It’s totally worth picking up! No need to dump money, they’re very generous with being able to get into a decent ship, bide your time for a year doing dailies and reputation and you’ll have a great ship and fully kitted build capable of enjoying all the content!

To be IN star trek. My game time is reaching 1000 Hours in the game over multiple years. The fact that they are still adding new content is just amazing. I Hope itll continue going strong. ❤

    I had to respond. I just came back after taking five years away from the game. While I do love most of the game. My low level Fleet Admiral (like in 4 days of playing), sucks at ground combat. I remember one "mission" where I went to New Romulus to check out a shuttle? I played it five years ago, but, now... my low Fleet Admiral cannot begin to have enough fire power to complete the mission. It feels like I'm doing something wrong; but I'm clueless as to what. Maybe I should have came back to my primary character, but ... we'll see. After a week of playing, I feel like I'm back at the old grind again. (sigh) My nostalgia for the game is high; but, there's something off. 😕 PS: I'm a 700 vet, and thankfully, lol, everything I had is still there after five years. Big win on that.

    New content is scarce and when released is usually only a few short episodes. The game seems really focused on releasing reskinned ships instead of producing new content. Still, you can play totally for free and there's tons of old content so for new players it's great to try.

    I love the story and getting to play with classic characters acted by their original actors is so cool, but the massive paywall behind the top tier ships is nutty. And the events that offer ya a chance to get these top tier ships and other amazing stuff, are pretty nutty to complete in order to get this stuff. Ya basically gotta be pretty deep into this game and no-lifeing it focused on these events to get anything cool out of them.

It seems like a no-brainer to me there's so many people that know so much about so many different universes , not just star trek, and I'm sure a lot of these people would even do it for free to begin

    Been trying to play this for a bit over a month now. Nice graphics and option choices. The issue I've found was spending half the time logging back on, as getting booted almost every time entering an instance is a definite 'not a primary' for me. The potential is there, but when you see the same bugs arising and continued issues with getting disconnected sure isn't going to draw in many more than the die-hard fans playing now. An odd aspect is the ability to run from a new character creation to max level leaves one wondering why they can't keep up with all the increased equipment upgrades. Sure, the 'pay to play' options are there, but limited. There's a 'life time membership' option, but with the vague status of how long that might be these days isn't really looking like an optimal choice. A few minor perks, but not sure if that would improve the issues encountered with the F2P option. So, for a casual play type game, it can fill a couple hours, but don't be surprised if half that time is having to re-logon if changing instances.

    I stopped playing when they introduced the Iconians and the stuff at MK XV. I had 1411 hours when I stopped. I specialized in SCI with the miracle worker spec to be a support in that game (useless most of the time) but I loved buffing allies or, as ENG char to place deployables which would help my team. At a certain point it started becoming impossible to go ahead unless you bought the latest C-Store ship or had premium-unlocked MK XV weapons and stuff or you would do barely anything to the enemies and die fast. I liked this game a lot back then.

    If you like the story, this game is for you. If you don't, there's a good chance you won't like it at all. Once you finish the story or stop enjoying the story I don't feel there's much else to do. Still, if you're a trekkie then you better give this a chance. Get through the first few missions, etc. and then things really start to pick up. I recommend creating a romulan character, the story arcs are absolutely nuts for that faction and way more interesting than federation or klingons first few arcs.

My only real complaint is that everything is always focused on combat and the ‘next big bad’. And that leaves out one of the most interesting parts of Star Trek. Still a fun game, though. Always come back to it.

    My biggest gripe with it is how poorly they implement things. So many bugs and weird performance glitches. Even some of the ships and maps seem to have been built by someone who’s been given an hour to throw out a map. Would of been great if we could see more care and love thrown at the engine and the game. I’ve gone back to play it and I enjoy it just feels rushed. Doubt we will ever see a full game update using a newer engine.
