Star Trek Fleet Command 12+

Great Strategy Game

I’m comparing the game to other strategy games like it, so the 5 stars is relative. There are things I don’t like about it, but comparatively speaking, it’s the best mobile strategy game I’ve ever played. (I’ve spent a lot of time playing Game of War: Fire Age and West Game as well as STFC.)

First, I love Star Trek, so I’m biased right out the gate. Other things I like that separate it from other games: they give enough free peace shields per day if you do all your daily tasks to stay shielded 24/7. There are limits, especially for low level players, on who can attack you. Until you get higher level, only players within 2 levels of you can attack you. You NEVER run out of stuff to do. In fact, the more you play, it can get downright overwhelming how much there is to keep you busy.

That being said, there are downsides. Like other strategy games, it’s impossible to be a top player without spending. There are a lot of f2p players who enjoy the game a lot, and you can do everything, but it just takes A LOT longer. I’m one of those who spends a little, and I’m in the mid-range as far as power. Of course, there are whales who spend thousands who you’ll never be able to compete with. However, my server, and I believe most if not all servers, have player-organized/enforced Rules of Engagement that limit bullying and sheer domination by p2p players.

Long time player

I used to play lots of mobile games and Consol games but this game has literally made me stop playing all my other games. I just enjoy playing in an alliance with people that you get to know and have good times with. Teamwork is what drives this game, so if you enjoy those type of things this is definitely the game for you. If you want to learn about star track lore and most of the characters in the Star Trek universe, this game will also teach you that. if you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, you’re trying to impress with star track knowledge. Oh boy, you’ll love this. I have literally been playing games since pong ,designed games on the Commodore 64 and this is by far the most satisfying of all, so if you have time and I mean a lot of time to play this game, it will be more than worth anything you’ve ever played before but keep in mind you have to stick with it , if you want tons of action and a game that only last 45 minutes, this is definitely not the game for you, strategy and teamwork is what you love this is it and I shouldn’t know what I’m talking about. I’ve been playing this game for over two years if you download it good luck and RoyalPainDass ✌️out an “live long and prosper”

Game is NOT Star Trek

Biggest problems are that the game is designed to be a predatory, player-eat-player mess. Players that shell out hundreds of dollars will always be able to beat you up and take your resources. Bases are upgradeable to ‘protect’ some of your resources, however the amount is extremely small and only a fraction of what you actually need to save up to do upgrades. If you want to keep people from raiding you, you have to shell out money to buy ‘peace shields’. Also, stupidly, you can’t use several smaller shields at once to have a longer shield, so your 1 hour and 4 shields are useless because you can’t cover a night of sleep or a work day with them. It only takes a few MINUTES for people to raid you and loot all your stuff, so even small gaps in protection will ruin you. Advancement is impossibly slow unless you shell out tons of cash. Upgrading officers and ships will literally take years without shelling out for multiple $99 bundles. Unlocking the base faction ships is doable with many months of farming, but anything above that will take you YEARS to unlock. Keep in mind that the resources you need to upgrade your bases and level are the same resources that upgrade your ships, so you can’t do both. So...years to upgrade base, then years to unlock a ship, then years to UPGRADE the ship. Gaining levels actually HURTS you in many ways. Quests you could complete yesterday are now impossible because the level of your target ships goes up.
