I'm a big real time strategy fan, and when i saw that star trek came out with a game that gives me the power to create and command ships in that way,i was excited. when i finally got it it was filled with nothing but disapointments. first you'd think four different races from the galaxy would be different to use no. they're all the same, just a few cheesy special weapons. the ships look great but my opinion they should be a bit larger, i mean i have a hard time finding my scouters they're so small. the missions are very easy, any starcraft veteran as myself can set up a few defenses and rest easy. another problem is destroying your enemy, it takes forever! i've played star trek armada 2 and they're is such a huge difference. graphics are solid though. but i recommend to buy the sequel you get way more ships, which i really dont understand why you get so few in the first.
