Star Trek Fleet Command 12+

The game itself is a bit of pocket fun whilst chilling at home, on the bus etc. The storyline’s add context for those that feel like reading it and you can play the game without spending many dollars.

However, if you want to progress in the game i.e level up, get more powerful ships you need to spend a lot of money. It is the longest going I have ever experienced in my life, and the amount of resources you need from level 30 onwards is a joke for casual players.

To get more powerful ships i.e the original enterprise the amount of faction credit, or away mission credit other sources of credit to get the 150 blueprints is ridiculously over the top. This has been the same for years, please will the developers changes the goal posts and lower the conditions of these concerns I have raised. Cheers

I’ve been playing this game for a while now and I’m quite enjoying it so far it has been one of the best free to play games I’ve ever come across and it does a lot of different things that most other free games don’t, I love the content in the game and the missions and even though getting raided or destroyed by another higher level player is annoying it’s what you would expect for a free for all game. However there is a lack of content when it comes to the other Star Trek timelines, there’s no involvement with Star Trek Voyager or Star Trek Enterprise at all and the map it’s self is huge but it doesn’t use a lot of the space that it shows there is a good corner of empty space in the bottom left hand corner of the map and the top right hand corner (whether the developers have plans for those areas I’m not sure). At the end of it all this game is worth the while in my books for a free to play game and I look forward to see what the developers have in store for it in the future

Great game, quite a few bugs but they get ironed out slowly on a weekly(ish) basis so it’s bearable.

What isn’t, is the in-game mechanics specifically around protection of resources. If your base gets attacked it’ll activate a 5 min shield and then the shield will sit on cooldown for 8 hours leaving you at the mercy of anyone ‘flying’ past that has pumped enough money into the game to attack.

This game is fun until the point where you have to spend $$ on it to compete and even when you do that, the in-game mechanics don’t protect you from higher levels for any more than 5 minutes which is ridiculous. The worst part is that the game doesn’t log the attacks half the time and you end up logging back in later with a destroyed base and no idea who or why it got that way.

Contacted customer service to see if the mechanics were bugged - they told me it was only the reporting of the battles that was bugged, not the mechanics and everything was ‘working as intended’.

Said they’d take my feedback on board around the longer shields etc and closed my ticket. I feel they could’ve done more with the balance of the game so broken, but no.. ‘Take it up with the App Store for a refund’ - so I did. Waiting to hear back from someone at the time of writing.
