Both the First Federation, and the Doomsday device, very nice, very nice.

Actually, the graphics seem to show an NCC-1701-A.

Is it out yet?

Okay, I just beat it. *ahem*

Ending.
Sucks.
Gigantic.
Donkey.
Cock.

It starts off with you in an imperial POS-model advanced fighter. Its fucking garbage. It's Galaga on graphical steroids. and I was wrong, it IS the NCC-1701-a. but you also get to blow up the NCC-1685, NCC-1678, etc, etc, etc. there's capship killing o'plenty in this game. too bad, too. kinda sick that a single-seat fighter can take out a whatever-class-the-enterprise-is class capship.fortunately, the ships you can use get better through the use of magical power words like "Decoded" and "tweaked" Also the Klingons and Roms give you one of their craptastic shitwagons apiece. guess why? Cause you save their damned homeworld. That's right, see, there's this great, impending, system-wide disaster about to befall each empire (Separate scenarios) and of course, Mr. Sulu decides that each empire with the inferior knowledge and pathetic fleet of ships is no match for his time as a Helmsman on the E-Prise and his massively powerful Excelsior (Which, by the way has shields made of "Sunshine and kisses" to quote a reviewer. one mission is incredibly hard, and the first time you beat it (If you do) will be by shear luck. I guarantee it. I beat it on my six-million, nine-hundred, eighty-five thousandth try. By luck. then theres several more after that, blah blah blah. Then. I get. the almighty...
Imperial.
Phantom.
Type III.

Oh. My. God. Godlike is the only way to describe this ship. it has photon torps that ACTUALLY TRACK YOUR TARGET! WONDER OF WONDERS! ooh, but it gets better. MIRV-Torps that track! That's right! Fire and Forget! as long as the enemy is at range 120 or below, you're gonna hit em! *Yawn*

No happy medium. it's either incredibly easy or incredibly hard. The graphics are a bit Meh as well. The people models are rubbery-skinned freaks. Seriously, they're straight out of 1996. she ship models are semi-nice, though. Not much in the way of detail, though, but then again, we are talking a cross-platformer, here. The presentation is nice, too. the verious mission segues (sp?) are presented like the opening scene of an episode. It really makes you wish that someone would do a series chronicling the (mis)adventures of captain Sulu aboard the NCC-2000 Excelsior. (YOU LISTENING, B&B?! Of course not.) at any rate, the game is not worth what I paid for it. but certainly it will end up on your local giganto-mart's discount rack sooner than later, since all of the bad press it's gotten will certainly make sales plummet. but, it's a neat game, frustrating at times, and perhaps a bit repetative, but neat. On the official "I-don't-give-a-shit-what-chardok-thinks" scale of Game rating, it gets this: (where the tick mark is.)

Enjoy, Dammit.

Just like the Doom games!

We need something similar to Freelancer for Star Trek games. It should combine the graphics and gameplay of Bridgecommander with the real time vast universe of Freelancer.

You mean Privateer. Freelancer is a piss poor FPS game.

You know its true! Easy is just way too easy. Medium is impossible. Hard and nightmare, I won't even mention.
