Star Trek Fleet Command 12+

I will start by saying I love this game. I spend way more time on it than is probably healthy but that is because it draws you back into it due to the rich back story and the community spirit of the alliances and server in general.
I keep seeing that it is geared for people who spend and I can say having played for over a year without spending a penny/dime on it that this is not the case. Spenders will be more powerful for sure, however part of the reason I love this game is there are ways to negate this with clever use strategies. It will take you longer to get where you want to go but don’t be dismayed by this as it makes the joy and sense of achievement of getting there all the more sweeter by knowing you did not buy success.
I don’t deny there are some bugs occasionally but not enough to spoil the game. And the owners seem to genuinely care about the game have regular updates and new content to hell keep the game fresh.
If your a fan of Star Trek or even if your not. If your a free to play or a big spender there is something in this game for everyone.

So I gave this game one star just for the fact it’s Star Trek So this game is great as long as you’re a millionaire the game it totally pay to win all scopely care about is how much money they can get out of you by putting at least 80% of the content behind a pay wall take the server I’m on it’s always the same players with the biggest ships who place in the top 5 and get all the good rewards which they don’t really need and most likely will never use and don’t get me started on the balancing of the levelling system in this game I’m level 24 and anything below level 20 4 levels lower are protected from me yet players who are level 34 can attack me and clear my station in minutes which I can do nothing at all about because they are so much stronger and why would scopely do thing to change that when all the big level players are cash cows and scopely will do everything in their power to keep the cash flowing (update review 2024 oh my where to start the amount of players who have quit my server due to one player attacking them on a hourly basis I mean he’s ops 67 with ships 4B in power I’m ops 45 my strongest ship is 22m yet the jokers who make this game claim thats fair he’s 22 levels higher then me how’s that remotely fair every update they bring more useless stuff to do for that months battle pass then gets forgotten multiple bug also if you’re looking to start this game just don’t it’s like having a second job at this point with no pay

I’ve been playing the game for over 3 years now and it’s clear that the developers don’t care about everyone enjoying the game despite their replies to other reviews. How can it be enjoyable to spend months upgrading your ships, research, crew and station only to have them utterly destroyed by a player 10 levels above you? Scopely suggest upgrading your ships etc but it simply isn’t possible without spending £1000’s in real money - it is geared towards these players and there is no repurcussion for them. If Scopely truly believe they don’t tolerate bullying or harassment they should narrow the pvp gap allowed, there are people on my server who constantly attack mid level players on a persistent basis which is basically bullying. Scopely don’t do anything about it apart from saying upgrade your ships etc.
When I first started playing it was enjoyable and I felt that spending money on the game was worth it, in the last 6 months I’ve stopped spending money altogether as it would cost £1000’s to reach a level where I could provide a challenge for the bullies. Now I’m simply waiting for a replacement game to come along and when it does I will move over to that.
Don’t even get me started on the multiple bugs that arrive with every update, this month is worse than usual with missions not being able to be activated among other bugs.
