It's been quite a while since i played this game, but being a star trek geek, it was decently entertaining for a bit - 27 minutes or so. I did like "designing" my starship, although it was more like "pick between 3-5 options", and then send your ship out on a text-based adventure that had little entertainment value.it's not the game you hope it is, but if you're a big fan of star trek, you'll get a few moments out of it. small ones, but they're there.
