DISAPPOINTED!!!. I love STFC and have played for over 2 years. I have been becoming increasingly upset. The prices on their cash packs are $99 dollars. I rarely buy anything because it's ridiculous. Now today after launching a new arc Scopely has decided to inactivate an officer that we have had since the beginning because they had a glitch and it was really helping us so they inactivated her so that we can’t use her anymore to really help us and enjoy the game. This officer has been around since day one but because it’s really helping the players without having to buy with money other officers that are new. It’s just really disappointing that it seems like all Scopely cares about is our hard earned dollars. Yesterday when they rolled out the new Arc it was broken since the minute it was put up and then they had to take hours before it would come back up but still it’s sucked. I’m sorry but I wouldn’t recommend anyone to put a penny into this game Anymore. It's just a travesty and I guess they really don’t care about their player base and wouldn’t care if we left but I know I am going to socket to them where it hurts the most and that is their greedy pockets. I feel bad for the underlings that work for the company Cause I’m sure that they will be blamed for this whole fiasco. So no more of my money Scopely if I want to spend I’ll take it somewhere else I work too hard for my money and y’all are just greedy and ridiculous.

Slow Game Play But Very Fun. The game is extremely fun to play and addictive in the beginning it’s easy to upgrade and you can pretty much gain all the resources necessary endgame to upgrade but it is a grind my recommendation would be to join a very good alliance from the beginning that supports you teaches you about the inns and outs of the game and even help you gain resources and protect you against bullies in the game because let me tell you this game has lots of bullies in it that constantly attack weaker players one of the things I would add in this gameWould be Easter egg like prizes that would be random of course but would encourage players to stay in and play to try to get these where the prices would be extraordinary allowing them to advance things like 100 hours of speed ups or combination of speed ups big swaths of resources instead of little tiny ones that feed you with a bird dropper people want to advance that is in our nature and if it takes them five weeks just to try to get it shipped to compete less people are going to stay in the game and play but all in all I give it five stars because it is a lot of fun and the possibilities are pretty much endless

SCOPELY CONDONES BULLYING-AVOID. Basically a whale (big spender) out spends everyone on the server, becomes a giant troll, muscles out anyone they don’t like. I’ve played for 2 years and have spent quite a bit myself, yet any messages to Scopely about bullying are ignored. They are allowed to do as they please. I had a great community of friends that I spent time playing the game with and spent time with outside of the game. Now a good portion of those have quit and I’m on the edge of quitting. I do know I won’t be buying any more of their ridiculously expensive $100 packs. They are expensive and you don’t get much. They will offer blueprints for a new ship but it would cost $2000 in real money to get it quickly or it will take months in game to earn it. As you are trying to grow, you’re getting bullied from the whales as they have a 112M power ship and you may have only 2-3M power ship. Scopely allows the lopsided advantage so it is no fun in the PvP aspect of the game. Then there is the constant game chat bullying from trolls that, even when reported with screenshots of wildly inappropriate behaviour, NOTHING HAPPENS. Sometimes a troll gets an 8 hour ban. Then they come back madder than ever and bully people more. It is a toxic soup that a true Trek fan should absolutely avoid. Server D35 AVOID. On top of it all, if you start looking around reviews and Reddit, you’ll find this is what happens on EVERY server.

Worst game ever ***AVOID AT ALL COST***. Scopely has ruined Star Trek. They have turned it into a war mongering bully culture. This is simply a game of the haves vs the have nots, if your not a whale your cannon fodder for them and have no chance of advancing. If you have ungodly amounts of disposable income and you don't mind dropping tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars on in game purchases then this game isnt for you. Aside from all the glitches and technical issues which this game has many, and all the bullying and harassment from the whales. The game has just become too much, too complicated, too involved, too time consuming. They are adding too much too close together. Too many specialty ships that take too much time and resources to build up and time to work on the tasks to do it all is just too much. This game is more time consuming then a full time paying job. It just isn't worth playing anymore. A game is supposed to be a distraction from life an enjoyable experience, this is no longer that, and hasnt been for a while but the constant additions instead of fixing the existing issues is just wrong. This is not a fun game to play, keep your money and find something better to spend it on. If i could i would give this game negative stars i would. If you aren't spending a small nations GDP on in app purchases they dont care what you think of this game. If people would stop spending money in game they might actually take notice and fix the issues.

A game for long term players. I have had this game for over 2 years taking a long break in middle and coming back to it. And i have become a daily player of the game. I rate this game highly because it does its job as a game, it’s fun and intriguing and the hiccups it has does not discourage me from playing. A lot of players complain that in order to get ahead you need to spend a lot on in store purchases and that’s not the case, this is a strategy game that is meant to be played long term, I’ve spent maybe $40 on this game but they’re few console games that only cost $40 that I’ve spent this much time playing. There are players that are wildly more powerful than me and I’ve talked to them and they don’t spend a fortune, they just play the game the way it’s meant to be played. One thing that really stands out to me about this game is the online players, I’ve never played another game where the online community was this well organized with their alliances. Most of the players are older and Star Trek fans and they appreciate what the game is about and the respect they have for other players is different from any other game I’ve played. Even after all of this time playing I am still learning new things about this game and that can be said for few games. I throughly enjoy playing Fleet command and will continue playing for the foreseeable future.

It’s a Grind. I give this game 4 stars. I enjoy it but it’s work, and with my busy life, I can only play it mobile. Why 4 stars? It’s a real grind and it can take up a lot of your time if you let it. There are 3 ways to advance in this game. Fast: pay to play. Medium: play on a budget. Slow: free to play. I’m medium but my alliance members think I’m strictly a pay to play player. I’m not. I learned how to play the game. I can only afford the Elite Monthly Battle Pass. That’s twenty dollars a month. During each Battle Pass I stack resources and advance my station and ships. Also, research helps tremendously in both areas. I have purchased a couple ships, particularly the Saladin and Vidar but I could have gotten those free if I had patience. You can also obtain resources by looting the stations of other players. I don’t like doing that. People spend real money on this game. I’ll only loot out of retaliation. Last tip, there are a lot of bullies. It’s a war game. Completing your Daily goals is key. Why? If you do, the game gives you a 4-hour, 8-hour and 12-hour shield each day for free. That’s 24 hours of protection from would be thieves that can come and take your resources. Hope this review helps.

Fun game. Awful combat.. This was one of my favorite games for a long time. I loved it so much. I had a good alliance and pretty good ships for my level. Unfortunately, have good stuff puts a target on your back for min maxers. Because people ten levels ahead of you can attack you. The people with power tens times yours will just obliterate your life savings. And then you have to spends months getting back all of what you lost. I got a pretty strong USS Discovery a about 75,000 power and thought I take a break and go on vacation. Gone for six days. Never logged on in that time. Came back and found out on level 30 guy raided my base 47 TIMES IN THREE DAYS!! All of my resources were stolen. I was unable to upgrade anything for three weeks. And just when I was starting to get some stuff back, another level 30 player in the same alliance raided me AGAIN!! Once again stealing all my stuff. I know the game is supposed to be multiplayer, but it is not much of a Star Trek game and it’s just min-maxers bullying anyone lower than them. Because of that and the developers clearly ignoring there unbalanced combat system, the game that I was really hoping would be good was just as bad as any other greedy mobile game out to make a buck. No respect for the community.

Great Strategy Game. I’m comparing the game to other strategy games like it, so the 5 stars is relative. There are things I don’t like about it, but comparatively speaking, it’s the best mobile strategy game I’ve ever played. (I’ve spent a lot of time playing Game of War: Fire Age and West Game as well as STFC.) First, I love Star Trek, so I’m biased right out the gate. Other things I like that separate it from other games: they give enough free peace shields per day if you do all your daily tasks to stay shielded 24/7. There are limits, especially for low level players, on who can attack you. Until you get higher level, only players within 2 levels of you can attack you. You NEVER run out of stuff to do. In fact, the more you play, it can get downright overwhelming how much there is to keep you busy. That being said, there are downsides. Like other strategy games, it’s impossible to be a top player without spending. There are a lot of f2p players who enjoy the game a lot, and you can do everything, but it just takes A LOT longer. I’m one of those who spends a little, and I’m in the mid-range as far as power. Of course, there are whales who spend thousands who you’ll never be able to compete with. However, my server, and I believe most if not all servers, have player-organized/enforced Rules of Engagement that limit bullying and sheer domination by p2p players.

The bullies win every time. This started out as a great game. I enjoyed the game play and the alliance I was in. They introduce new game lines regularly and keep it fresh. But the problem is, Scopely’s business plan is “reward the big spenders” and they give them huge ships that are impossible to compete with. The “Free To Play” players advance very slowly, and we end up as cannon fodder for the huge players who dump, literally, thousands of dollars into building massive ships. Early in your gameplay, Lower levels are limited to attacking players just a few levels lower than themselves. But when you spend the cash and shoot up to higher levels, you are free to bully all the lower level players without restraint. And if you read every other review in this app store that complains about the way bullies are allowed to wreck havock on lower level players, you will see the developers give lip service to “our feedback” but they have no intention of putting any restraint on their cash cows. Bottom line: if you’ve just won the lottery, enjoy this game. But, iIf you plan on going the free to play route, this will remind you of Jr High School Gym Class. The bullys dominate and the coaches are not interested in stepping in.

Good game long grind. STFC is the one single game that I have played for the longest time. I stay playing mainly for the moderately fair play and the great alliance that I am part of. The economic system around the game is, the best word I can use to describe it, fair. It respects the grind time that players put in by placing a high monetary cost to packs that give the same rewards and resources. Having said that, it is not easy to progress without spending at least some money, for example, battle pass, to keep up with the main crowd. A stable server with stable alliances and being part of a good alliance is important to having fun in this game, regardless of the amount of money you plan to spend. From the strategy perspective, there is enough depth in the game where a relatively weaker ship can beat a more powerful one with the right officer setup, and research and planning do matter. All of this add up to a fun game with lots of depth, lots of good people, and lots of ways to play. One thing of caution though, if you don’t have a couple hours a day to keep up, this game may not be for you.

Money grab. It’s sad that this is being passed off as a Star Trek game when there’s very little Star Trek to it. Mine, blow other ships up, attack bases, etc. might all sound fun but it’s not. Mining can take HOURS, during which you’ll get attacked and destroyed by some jerk who bought a super unbeatable ship during the first days of release for $50. And when you’re destroyed, you lose part of what you mine. So it’s one step forward, two steps back. Upgrading takes 8+ hours to days on end. Alliances are helpful but only up to a point. It’s literally kill or be killed and currently the top alliances are solely focused on blitz attacks on lower level players because they can. The response is “hey it’s just a game, relax.” But therein lies the problem. You’ve taken away anything that can be fun about it and made it incredibly frustrating. To stick around, you either have to play for 18 hours a day or make purchases for resources and faster upgrades. I caved and bought a few, thinking it would take the target off my back and maybe allow me to enjoy the game without constant barrages. It didn’t. I played since day 2. Spent maybe $60 and I’ve had enough. Uninstalled and frankly I’d like my money back but I know that’s not happening. Don’t bother downloading unless you like your eyes glued to your iPad 24/7 and you don’t mind constant ambushes. Does anyone remember when Star Trek used to be about exploring?

The game is fun but has many glitches. I played the game for about three months, enjoying most aspects of the game despite the many glitches. A few mining nodes don’t work even after updates that supposedly fixed them and several times I completed missions but didn’t receive the rewards. The game is very unbalanced, I was getting hit by players 11+ levels above me. A fully upgraded lv22 station has no chance of defense against a lv30+ ship. I learned to just keep a shield up when I wasn’t playing. I personally spend money on games cause it allows me to not spend time doing the stuff that is not enjoyable. I also realize that if people don’t spend money then developers will no longer make games. Which brings me to my biggest complaint, customer service. I bought a pack which came with resources and started a few upgrades. I put up a shield. While the shield was active, I got attacked and lost most of the resources I bought. The game failed me in three ways, (1) I was attacked while under a shield, (2) I never received a shield notification, (3) I never received a station attack notification. I reached out to support and they were unwilling to correct the issue. Supports response was “In as much as I want to help you out, I can only do so much.” They did nothing to correct the problem.

If you want to play for free, you will be punished for it. This game is well designed with amazing detail and intricacies. The opportunity for choosing your own adventure is endless. The entire thing is well done. I’m sure it wasn’t cheap. If you want to play for free or FTP as we are known in the game, you will pay for that in other ways. Scopely designs subtle issues that reek havoc on advancement and fair play. The game is still fun but can get very frustrating when one of these issues pops up. You’ll have to wait, or spend earned credit of some sort, or just sit back and watch while the rest of the (paying) server keeps at it. Or start paying for resources of some kind. A notable issue with this game as well are rogue players who will destroy everything you have worked for, sometimes forcing you to waste assets, or resources that you may have paid actual money for. Scopely sees these folks as a way to make more money as the players who get hit spend money to repair or fix that damage. These clowns will argue with the entire server to justify their stupidity. Ultimately they will end up spoiling the game and there have been many players who have quit because they go unchecked and unstopped. The game is well designed. Be aware that it has a few issues that, when encountered, will cause immense stress and emotion. Play at your own risk.

Horrible Player Environment. It’s very unfortunate that a game like this with the property it holds allows for a free for all pvp system that severely punishes your causal player or player trying to lvl up but are constantly harassed by more experienced players purposely staying at a lower level to destroy ships without provocation under the guise of “aggressive gameplay”. It’s ridiculous that there is 0 moderation for this game, and it fosters (and rewards) online bullies to continuously harass up and coming players for their sheer enjoyment. It’s incredibly disheartening that these players are allowed to run amok and do as they please with absolutely no consequence. The more I play, the more frustrated I become and it’s getting to the point where this app is going to get deleted because it is no longer fun to play. The entire Star Trek franchise is about inclusion and these players are doing everything they can to ruin a Star Trek experience, and that they’re allowed to do it with impunity. It’s very disappointing. Further, the iPad version of the game constantly crashes. If it’s not the players ruining the experience, it’s the bugs in the game. I would advise against picking up this game and waiting for another development to truly respect the franchise instead of simply slapping a Star Trek skin on a corrupt pay-to-win free for all pvp “strategy” game. I expected better.

Terrible game. The packs to advance are 100$ a piece, and there is not enough in ur resource generators to even do the simplest of actions like fight. And you HAVE to fight, because the range of hittable ships is outrageous.. lvl 39 can hit as low as lvl 25 ships and bases. And if your shield fails (which it often will do) scopley will admit there is a problem then not refund your lost resources after you have been raided. Mining nodes are often broken. And even if you screenshot some part of youri game that is broken and try to send in a ticket, the auto response will tell you to send a screenshot, try deleting the app and reload it (which is super fun when you are in the middle of a battle and your game crashes.. sarcasm) they keep working on the graphics but dont fix whats broken and customer support is not helpful in ANY way. But hey, if you have about 40,000 $ to blow then this is the game for you.. not being sarcastic. There are legit people that have paid that much to play so they can crush you any time they want to mine where u are. And the cursing in the galaxy chat is atrocious. We actually had a very nice lady that was harrassed and asked about how much she could spread her legs, and much much worse. Scopleys reply was “we will look into it”, and the person wasnt banned as per their terms of service. This is an adult game, DO NOT let your kids play it.

Very Unbalanced. All reviews that tell you that this game is amazing, fun, addicting and enjoyable are probably from people who sit in their house all day spending money, since playing games is probably all they do each day every day. So if you truly want to know what the game is like don’t rely on reviews. Play the game for a little bit and decide for yourself. The game is, for lack of any other word, neat and a time killer. Any game to claiming that they are very well “balanced” is feeding you propaganda. The only balanced games I come across are from companies that have been in business for more than a few years. Honestly if there is any balance in any PvP/PvE game you would have a separation of lower and higher levels, figurative not literal. To give a simple idea of one small unbalanced portion of this game, the developers allow higher levels players to attack and harass lower level players but it tells you when you are a lower level that you cannot attack the player since their level is too high. Well if a player is not allowed to attack a higher level then the higher level should not be allowed to attack you. This premise is PvP 101 stuff people get with it or find new programmers. Balanced? I think not! It’s a far cry of being called balanced, they’re in the business to make money. So don’t take my word for it, decide for yourself.

engrossing but a lot of waiting. There's so much to do in this game & in a way it's really beautifully designed. the missions are fun, the music is really appropriate and atmospheric, and the progression is very satisfying. The part that I don't like is similar to "Star Trek Online" by cryptic studios & many other science-fiction spaceship games... for some bizarre reason, game designers think that we want to sit around watching ships war between locations or fly around for 30 seconds or four minutes while there's essentially nothing we can do in game besides watch. That is incredibly boring & bad game design. while it's not a problem unique to this game, it's a big problem & an opportunity... if they were to provide other things you could do in game on the ship on the station to fill all of that waiting time, it would add to the story and feel the game significantly. It would also stop me from putting the app in the background on my phone to read the news, look at TikTok, write an irritated review on the App Store, or play a different different game while I'm waiting 3 to 4 minutes for my ship to get somewhere in game.

Still in the Alpha stage of development. I love Star Trek and so I have been excited to jump in and play. I am probably about 30 hours into game play and while I really have enjoyed the concept but definitely missing the mark. There are consistent issues with glitches and bugs. Menus or buttons will break and you won’t be able to exit or interact with anything. Notifications will get stuck and you won’t be able to get rid of a badge even though you’ve already acknowledged it. After about level 10 you are able to attack and be attacked by other players. Which would seem exciting except for there are no natural barriers that separates players. So it doesn’t matter that you’ve advanced to a certain level, someone that is 3x your power can easily attack your ship and destroy it. You can also do the same to others. The challenge is if you’re trying to complete missions or mine resources it is inevitable that within a few minutes you will be attacked and destroyed. As your ships become more and more powerful it takes longer and longer for them to repair. So get ready to wait 30 minutes to an hour for your ships to rebuild every time you login. I could go on about the things that aren’t quite there but this game has wasted enough of my time. Overall, great concept and if you have a week to blow on this game then do it. After that you’ll prolly get bored of it like so many other players and delete the app.

Toxic Game that Enables Bullying. We have a player on server 93 who has made the game so toxic that several really high level players have quit the game and many more low level players are quiting too. The player has been reported to Scopely countless times for inappropriate communications where he disparaged Veterans, the disabled, and women. I have seen him post messages about people’s wives and their mothers. He literally has dedicated his time to ruining the game for hundreds of players. He brags about it in Galaxy Chat on a daily basis and Scopely does nothing. Why? Because he spends so much money that they turn a blind eye. I have been a daily player for over a year, but I am about to walk away because of how stunted my progress has been in the game and the toxicity/bullying Scopely allows to foster and seems to enable. Scopely does not enforce TOS when it comes to bot use nor for basic moral decency. How many hundreds of reports do you have to receive about a player before you take action? Apparently it is infinite if they are big spenders. Sad that they allow one or two rotten apples to spoil the game for hundreds. They should remove the ability to hit survey ships that have not exceeded their protected cargo limits, it only encourages poor gamesmanship and bullying. If you want to spend $1000s of dollars to bully other players, then this is your game.

Decent game ruined by developer’s optimization for making you pay. I downloaded this game hoping for a nice mobile version of Stellaris in the Star Trek universe and it is a decent version of that, I guess. You get to build and level up a star base and manage and level up your ships and crew. The MMO aspect isn’t terrible, although you seem to get ganked a lot if you leave your ship outside of your station when you’re not logged in. The problem is that playing it is like watching the home shopping network because you can’t do anything without having to click through a way to pay more money to reduce the pain of progression. Every resource either costs money or is in a random loot box so there is no strategy for resource management other than just keep clicking (unless you want to pay to click less). All the new content is behind battle passes and loot boxes so all you can do to meet your goals is just keep paying. When I added up all the cost in micro transactions to make this more like a decent PC game, I’d have to pay many multiple times what I’d pay for Stellaris on PC in order to make this game enjoyable. I get that the devs need to make money but I’d much prefer a monthly subscription to a decent game over the constant begging and slot machine mechanics that mobile gaming has become. If I wanted to hang out in a casino I’d go to Vegas.

Wish I could give it 5*. The concept behind the game is fantastic...but there is a very long way to go before it is 5* worthy. The PvP scale is WAY off. That needs to be addressed. Why is there no kind of alliance battle log? There are battle reports per individual, but leadership cannot see what is happening with our members. Why is there no way to check member activity? We have strict standards of activity, but the only way of knowing, is physically seeing a ship in motion, or seeing them in chat. Dead mining nodes are a huge problem. Lack of nodes for the amount of players are another. The uncommon material drops are preposterous for the amount that is required for upgrades and research. Who ever came up with that algorithm should be fired, and someone with half a brain put in their place. I’m at a complete standstill in building and ship upgrades because of this stupid wait time between refining materials, and the insane drop rate of uncommon. Now moving on to the ‘store’. May as well call it the black market. $100, just to be able to get ahead...Seriously ? This game is geared toward those that can afford to drop serious money to make any headway. And is in NO way friendly to those of us that have to work for what we get. Needless to say, there are numerous issues to address before your fan base drops, and business is lost.

Game is worse then ever!. This game was fun till about level 21 then it just got horrible everything is way to expensive to buy, I could literally buy 3 PS4’s and a BMW with the money the alliance [BREW] spends in Server 36 and I could buy a House in Long Island with the amount the alliance [SUPR] spends on Server 36 it’s residuals all them 2 alliances do is bully every other alliance to get there way and territory update and add on has made this issue way worse! Not to mention you can’t upgrade your station without spending $50 a month and at least 7 hours a day of playtime a day once you hit level 28 and then you get hit constantly I have to buy shields constantly with my alliance points and it’s just making me not want to play then you have [BREW] Soggy and some other players photo shopping In game DM’s and reporting people for stuff they didn’t really say or was snap shot out of context and then that player gets banned for 24 hours without any warning so then the reporter gets to raid the base of the person he or she reported then that person is left with nothing and scopely gives zero crap about you or your account if you ain’t spending at least $20 a week all it takes is for you to call some racist a idiot and boom your banned for 24-48 hours with NO WARNING AND YOUR BASE IS RAIDED AND YOUR LEFT WITH NOTHING. Don’t play this game I’m level 28 almost level 29 and I’m hating this game more and more every day. Only reason I log on is cause I like the fellas in my alliance.

STFC review. This game had the potential to really be a fun play through and a good way to connect with people. Being in an alliance, growing your base and becoming a better player are all things that are achievable through this game. With that being said, there is a complete disconnect between the players and the developers/leaders of this game. So much time and care seems to have been put into creating this game that there obviously is a high level of talent and ingenuity at Scopely. Those traits are not reflected in events and gameplay that affects users directly. Events are sloppily created with sometimes time excessive milestones to hit, server vs server battles are completely mismatched even though scopely has direct data to see where each group is at power wise, and the rewards and price point for goals and purchases are completely one sided in favor of the company. I played this game for about 8 months, became #14 in power rankings (yes I purchased a lot), and spent countless hours trying to make it make sense for me to keep playing. If scopely would have made the user feel more valued I would keep playing, but will never consider playing this game ever again due to these issues.

Online bullying is encouraged by scopely. This game can be fun and a welcome diversion at first. However the game designers have encouraged an environment that promotes bullies. The bullies in the top alliances continuously raid bases and destroy the miners of players and alliances that have no chance of fighting back. When you are bullied the game designers want you to become enraged and buy packages for ship and base upgrades so you can ‘defend’ yourself. What you don’t realize is that these packages cost $100 and will only give you enough to sometimes level something up. You still can’t defend yourself against rich people who dump thousands of dollars into their account to stay more powerful than honest players. Oh and there is also the fact that if you buy upgrade packages, the abusive players can steal that from you too. I was a hardcore player for several months and I spent nearly $1000 on packages and upgrades. I was planning my sleep schedule and social schedule around the game and when it would be safe for my account for me to step away for a few hours. I reached level 23 and I was fairly strong for my level. However, I still couldn’t compete with players that spend thousands of dollars on the game, and I was just cannon fodder or a cash cow for the in game bullies to steal from. I walked away from the game and deleted it from my devices; I’m much happier now. TLDR: Don’t bother downloading this game.

This game is beyond trash. If you want to feel inferior to those with money, feel free to download this game. If you want to be attacked by people of 5+ levels above you without recourse, download this game. But if you don’t want stress over extreme drama, and a failure of a game in your life; then DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!!! If you like being attacked by folks 5+ levels higher than you; if you don’t like fairness in what seems to be a simple base builder and strategy game. Basically if you want to avoid paying to win. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!!! The only improvement they’ve made is on graphics, regardless of the NUMEROUS people requesting level attack updates and other changes. Basically, if you want to hate your life becAuse devs fail to act... download this game. If you like being killed over and over and over and over and over agin by higher level people. Download this game. If you like trying to attack people 4 levels below you that you ultimately cant, even though you got attacked yesterday by someone 4 levels higher than you, then this cash grab is the monetary waste for you. If you’ve read through this and still downloaded, you are a waste of life. Words can not sway you, and not can facts. You must support trump’s failure of a presidency. If that’s the case PLEASE DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. For all others. Please avoid this, for your own sake.

Don’t bother. Typical pay to even try to play game. This game was fun at first but rapidly gets old. There’s a lot of emphasis on mining and its tedious. There’s no way to find out where the materials you need are without having to look through each system you’ve explored. A search option would have been nice. Once you find what you need you’ll likely get killed right away by some bully players that have deep pockets of real money. Then you wait for repairs and repeat. Mining takes forever and if you look away for 5 minutes you’ll likely get killed. Other missions get old too. Go to one place or kill one ship, then do it again and again. They had some interesting storylines, but in the end its the same thing over and over again while you waste tons of time just waiting for your ship to get where it needs to go, or stare at your screen while you mine and hope to get what you need before some player rolls up with a warship to easily kill your mining ship. I was hoping you could pick a faction to play for but you’re stuck being an independent and once you get high enough you can go near one of the empires, but thats probably after you get to level 15 or better. I played for a week and got to 14 hoping for more before the game got too annoying to put up with. I cannot wait for these types of games to go extinct.

Pay to win is a reality. This game is fun, it’s a lot of fun. Cool missions, easy game play. I got to level 22, and now I realize it’s a complete pay to win system. Most games you can put in more time and actually compete. I’ve spent 45 dollars on this game and I’m still WAY behind the big guns. I thought I could grind it out, but it’s impossible. They offer massive upgrades that you can buy. They call these prime upgrades. And at the higher levels they are basically impossible to obtain. And it’s not just a small bonus. The bonus is like, double all ship damage for 20-50 dollars. And technically it’s possible to grind your way there, but i calculated that at a 20% drop rate for a rare mineral, and a 12 hour clock it would take a year to get one of these upgrades. And it doesn’t stop there by a long shot. You can pay to upgrade your officers and there is no limit. So people do it. I’ve heard of people dropping well over 1O,000 dollars for these crazy ships and crews. It’s just not fair. I’m all for paying for something’s, the game has to make money, but this game allows the ultra rich to absolutely dominate. I can’t blame them it’s a business, but they do not cap it. So I’m done. The game is actually a business and it’s not worth your time because people will just destroy your base, take your resources and there is nothing you can do about it. Well there is something you can do and it’s she’ll put some serious money.

Attempting to help alliance member. An alliance member has requested help and I’ve been trying to help em for the passed 15 minutes or so. It keeps making like I’ve accepted the request for help but then remains there as though I didn’t help. Only problem with this game I have thus far. I do have one question though, how do you travel between different places you discovered and actually explore those places without quests? Or can you only explore those places if you currently have a quest in that area? Like I have a ‘new Sligo’ and I’m trying to explore the area around it, for instance. Just out of curiosity. UPDATE: I have an alliance gift t I’ve been trying to claim for about a day and a half, it’s not allowing me to claim it. Thank you for fixing the thing to help alliance members. And I figured out what the ‘new sligo’ was.. that’s the area I’m currently building in I think. Took me a bit to figure out, but I got it. My grandma and her siblings are HUGE Trekkies.. they’re huge fans of Star Trek. I’m not saying I’m not, but as for the game, it’s one of my first games of the series and I didn’t follow it as much as they did. 😅 I’m having a lot of fun though!

One major flaw. Game breaking. If youre reading this is bc youre considering the game. The game is super fun. Lots of grinding. Its fun. Ive been hooked since Xmas and ive not used my xbox since because this game has me dominated. So here’s what the main game breaking issue lies. All the way to lvl 15 you can attack people in your range , im at 14 and can kill from lvl11-17; thing is the station becomes pvp able at lvl15, and WHOEVER at WHATEVER lvl can come and destroy everything you have making you literally unplayable. I have beared witness people with ships at 275k power being able to crack open bases from lvl15 and take all. There is no cap. And WORSE ALL, you can buy packs to help improve which i have no issue with. Problem is i can spend $20 on a pack of resources than will be stolen a minute later. That part of the system is broken. It allows people to bleed money they cannot use in game bc of timings. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed otherwise you cannot enjoy this game. If you are a player that spends cash( again, zero issues here with that) the possibilities of losing it all before you can use it its there. Regarless of game shields you cannot stay 24/7 guarding your cash

Skip this one for a year or so. Came into this game with high hopes and was pretty much disappointed from the outset. Progress in this game screeches to a near halt pretty fast unless you are ready to dump some serious cash into progressing. If you aren’t then sit back and get ready for some incredible frustration. The players that do become amazingly powerful VERY fast and prey on everyone with nearly unstoppable ships. I grunted out for 19 out of 50 levels and just got tired of the amount of time it took to accomplish absolutely nothing. Just building a simple structure was taking 3 or more days (an obvious taunt to impatience to get you to pay to speed things up)and it took many of these structures to progress. Storyline is slow and monotonous. Fly from one place to another, kill a bad guy, receive minimal rewards. Ship power climbed very slowly too. Even the great alliance I was in couldn’t protect itself from the cash kings constant pillaging everyone with their showroom ships. If you are a game bully and have LOTS of extra cash and want to throw it away to buy pixel ships in a glitchy mediocre game, this one is for you. Personally I would suggest waiting a year or so to see if the designers address a few of the obvious problems and make it more about player enjoyment than sucking up your time and money. So disappointing.

I play because friends are here..if they weren’t..... In the tips portion of the ad they didn’t mention the terrible rate of refinement to get said Rare materials or even just the Uncommon. Whales always have and advantage but it’s an overwhelming one in this game, Like grossly. If you don’t spend you won’t really have much of a chance. Scopely also has different rates of these packages resources in the bundles based on age of the server, so choose wisely. The older the server the better your deals will be. Lastly, instead of fixing old issues and improving actual game play they just role out new officers and 1 trick pony ships to lure more whale spending. Just fix some simple things please. Like wording on crew that doesn’t reflect (Djaoki for example)what it actually does...the character skins.. my fed officer in the faction store is from the Blue man group! Klingon crews with no faces...If they actually cared and or catered to the majority of players and gave the majority a chance to take on whales and their alliances, it would drive those who do spend more to continue to do so at a higher rate just to hold the leading edge. This game has potential.. but needs devs that care. It will make money even if you are more generous with your rewards and how people can improve their ships to make it a more fun experience, I promise.

3 stars. I gave three stars to star fleet command . One there is no alliances war being conducted with other alliances besides targeting miners with alliances or floating ships with alliance . Secondly the resources take to progress a ship is to long and only event ships are the best power houses. Thirdly the amount of officer exp needed to level them up and promote is to high for the quest rewards because at certain point in leveling the operation building . The fourth thing recruiting new officers or getting them promoted is to hard because can only get one character token . It is uncertain how many each of them need to maxed out . The missions do not recycled to get more officer exp or ship exp . Otherwise this free game for those who like destroying ships with some grind .Do not expect to get officers quicker or level them up quickly, or have any indication if there are more severs that are open to ios . This game can benefit by giving alliances more reward systems or give alliances sectors with mines only for that alliance. Other then speed upgrades and the eventual upgrade to do armadas. Low level alliance members can not participate in armadas which means they can not get rewards from it besides reducing the waiting period on upgrades. The last thing mention the roster of characters do not have the crew tag easily identified without having to click on the avatar to find out if they belong in that crew group.

Pvp brackets ruin fun. *update to previous review* learning to protect yourself can solve some of the issues stated previously but Scopely allows and seems to encourage bullying. System constraints that allow player groups to literally *block* players from getting into defend their own territory. Power disparity forces people to purchase more as a team of 3 heavy spenders can easily hold off dozens of f2p or lower spending average players. Server mergers reduced what had become a peaceful and enjoyable format into a brawl mentality that forces nonspenders out of the game. Scopely allows the strife and bullying and hate speech even when brought to them. Their report system seems to do nothing and their ticket system is user unfriendly and limits your ability to report.** Been having a great time with the game until hitting level 20. Within 12 hours of that, I got cleaned out. People that 4 levels higher than me can attack. 20% higher in player level but 500% my power level. Weeks with of saving gone in less than an hour because a timed shield ran out. There is no way to combine shields to longer periods. There is no way to opt out of pvp. I spent money on this game (something I rarely do) because it felt like there was value to it but the pvp system completely ruined it as soon as I hit this range. I can’t justify another dime

Game is NOT Star Trek. Biggest problems are that the game is designed to be a predatory, player-eat-player mess. Players that shell out hundreds of dollars will always be able to beat you up and take your resources. Bases are upgradeable to ‘protect’ some of your resources, however the amount is extremely small and only a fraction of what you actually need to save up to do upgrades. If you want to keep people from raiding you, you have to shell out money to buy ‘peace shields’. Also, stupidly, you can’t use several smaller shields at once to have a longer shield, so your 1 hour and 4 shields are useless because you can’t cover a night of sleep or a work day with them. It only takes a few MINUTES for people to raid you and loot all your stuff, so even small gaps in protection will ruin you. Advancement is impossibly slow unless you shell out tons of cash. Upgrading officers and ships will literally take years without shelling out for multiple $99 bundles. Unlocking the base faction ships is doable with many months of farming, but anything above that will take you YEARS to unlock. Keep in mind that the resources you need to upgrade your bases and level are the same resources that upgrade your ships, so you can’t do both. So...years to upgrade base, then years to unlock a ship, then years to UPGRADE the ship. Gaining levels actually HURTS you in many ways. Quests you could complete yesterday are now impossible because the level of your target ships goes up.

Don’t waste your time..... I would give this less than a 1 Star if I could. On the surface, the game seems good. The concept of Star Trek is what got me to play. However, the game should have never gotten out of Beta. Most of the crew abilities don’t work, ship abilities don’t work, ships randomly blow up in space dock, ships jump out of warp with the “timer” off meaning you can’t do anything and you get blown up by hostiles resulting in wasting resources... need more resources, no problem you can BUY them. When Scopely bothers to push updates, they roll back the power of your ships and base. What does this mean, BUY more stuff to get back the power you already paid for. Silver lining, APPLE has refunded many, many people some even 100%. However, even though you get a refund for what you paid for that Scopely rolled back, Scopely will then kick you from the game, or reset your game back to day one and put you on a different sever with no way of changing servers. Mind you, they kick you even if you didn’t get 100% refunded, meaning they took your money. Their reason, you broke the terms of service... despite they negated your purchases in the first place precipitating the refund! Buyer be ware, Scopely has a horrible BBB rating and extensive complaints about this game and others. You would be better served buying a dead cat off the street to play with, it works better than this game.

Unstable, expensive and a time-sucker. Bugs. Lots of bugs. So, so many bugs. This game is constantly failing and every time they fix something, they break 10 more things. No thought goes into added or updated features and absolutely nothing gets tested before they roll it out. The game performance is also terrible - so much lag and connectivity issues. They roll out new features so quickly with and push off quality of life updates just because they don’t make them any money like the cash grab of new features. When it works, it can be fun, but unless you’re willing to spend thousands of dollars each quarter, be prepared to grind for hours on end every single day, and even then, you’ll never get ahead, you’ll just fall behind the spenders at a slower rate. Support will also just close tickets on you for no reason. They like the easy tickets, but if you challenge them even in the slightest with a new bug or issue, you’ll get silence for a week and then they’ll close your ticket out for you. If you do get lucky enough to get a response, it’ll make no sense and you have no hopes of getting them to understand the problem. Sometimes you get a little reimbursement, but most of the time you don’t.

Starts strong finishes weak, poor service. Do yourself a favor. Read the reviews, the star levels are pumped up, do the math. I have deleted this app. When I first started the game There were only a few bugs and had more than enough resources to help build. As with any strategy game when you progress resources become more scarce. Today there are more bugs that cause the game to glitch or just quit and when it does you lose all your hard earned Dilithium for no reason. I notified their customer service twice with no response. Once you pass level 9 it is next impossible to mine Dilithium And Other raw elements to help you build your ships upgrade your supplies and materials and station. I am at level 14 and won’t go beyond because once you go to level 15 then your station can be regularly attacked by others. The problem with is that just about everybody is subject to trolls. You can’t mine for minerals longer than five minutes before somebody is fighting with you and killing you. To keep up with everyone you need to buy upgrades. It starts out cheap at $5 but after you buy one or two you can only buy$25 items, then later only $50 items are available. If you ever watch the advertisement on TV the play of the game is nothing like that, you don’t see any video clips or epic battles. The commercial has nothing to do with the game. I started out enjoying the game now it just not worth playing. Don’t waste your time unless you got money to burn.

Seriously unbalanced. This game started out extremely fun. Who wouldn’t want to fly around in a starship, blow up hostiles, complete missions and engage is some friendly PvP. There are numerous pay walls as you progress and with a maximum level of 50, hitting a major pay wall at 19 is ridiculous. I spent just over $2k on the game and made it halfway through level 27. Upgrading structures and buildings takes 3-4x more resources than your station can possibly generate on its own. The change in resources needed as you level is exponential and not linear at all. At lvl 27 I can generate and hold ~3 million par steel. Building upgrades cost upwards of 10 million. It is absurd that on order to level up the station you must spend $99 per pack and probably need 3-4 packs to gain a level. Also, pack purchases scale with your station level. At lvl 1, packs give substantially less than at lvl 10 and even less at lvl 20. Packs shouldn’t be tiered to give more at higher levels. Packs should not scale whatsoever and simply give less benefit as you gain levels. Either that or make all packs scaled to what they would give at maximum level. The individual servers are run by those who spend tons of $$$ Because they have the most powerful stations and make the rules. I am quitting the game mostly for this reason alone. My recommendation is that unless you have a massive disposable income or are keen on massive credit card debt I would steer clear of this game entirely.

Leaving. As I read the reviews, I see that I’m not the only one that feels that the game is so unbalanced that it is pathetic. I have been playing now for three months, reached level 25 and struggling to keep away from the arrogantes that just because they have some power, they hit you even while you are just starting to mine, just because they want RSS. I made the mistake of hitting a guy on a node, and his Cdr. was on me like stink on you know what. So what did I do? They say that if you can’t beat them, join them. Now I am still playing by myself, since no one seams to acknowledge I even exist. I move around, looking for good sites to mine ( non found) but I have managed to grow. Now I think it’s time I leave this and do bigger and better things. BTW, I tried GOW and it’s even worst. Unti the time that you regulate the different areas and not allow the strong ships where the weaker ships are you will not retain players. Recommend you create areas for different strengths and not allow them access to the lower lands. That willl allow the weaker players an opportunity to grow and then challenge those areas.

Abhorrent Customer Support. I contacted apple about the developers micro transaction policy. My son whom is the actual player of this game, had accidentally purchased multiple packs because, as I found though research, when you tap on an item to “build” in game or whatever it says “speed up” with no confirmation dialogue or anything it simply uses in game purchase able currency. What’s worse, you can tap on one item out of a list of 4 and the menu randomly jumps between items after a tap. So you could accidentally purchase multiple different things when intention was to get one. My son ended up getting 3 of the packs this way. I contacted the developer because APPLE DOES NOT CONTROL in app microtransactions. The developers do. After literally 25 separate emails of the developer saying “We can’t it has to be refunded though apple” and me replying to them with apples app policy and apples emails saying it’s developer controlled I am now here. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS GAME. The company is now on my list of fKd up developers. Shady practice jumping menu items around to get players to waste money. Especially since they clearly know that this is the case which is why they feign understand and try to redirect you to apple support. If I worked at Apple I would delist this application and all others from this developer. It makes a terrible reflection on Apple as a company for allowing this crap to go on.

Pay to Win. So this game has serious issues woth duality. On on hand it is likely the best star trek game made. The content is deep and grows significantly each new arc. On the other as many before have stated it is pay to play. Not a few bucks here and there, a get a 2nd mortgage on your house kind of cost. Big whale players spend 250,000 and more to stay in leaderboards. Medium players spend upwards of 700 to 1000 dollars a month just to try to stay strong enough to defend against whales who litterally go around bullying smaller players and making up thier own rules. There is a free to play option. I have been playing almost 4 years and im a mid tier player. Free to play players and 17 levels below me and whales are 13 levels higher than me. My expenses to stay relavant have been consistently 700 per month and in pvp i lose more than i win. The time it takes to grow is rediculous and the cost in game items takes a month or more to just get one lvl higher is your spending. If your not it can take 4 months to get up a level by mid level 30s. Play at your own risk. This game is fun but this game does everything possible to get you to spend. My advice, dont bother. There are other games on computer online with just as much content that is not geared to grab money from the filthy rich.

Mediocre pay to play. Game has the same latency/lag/crash issues as it did a year ago. Pay to play and developers do what they can to handicap free to play players and people who may not pay as much. Most recent issue is “burning” ability getting nerfed/handicapped. Also I always buy a battlepass which is a cheaper way to participate in events. Some how with all the other glitches that occur in game it swapped it for a points pack for the current event. I was asking for it to be corrected and after 3 days of back and forth with customer service I got told I got the wrong pack.... when I purchased it, it was a battlepass pack, not a points pack. Just ignored my issue to force me to purchase more and not fix the issue. Same day I made the purchase there were so many problems that delayed the update for iOS which I wonder contributed to the incorrect product showing as my purchase. Peace shields randomly drop before the time is up which protects your station from losing resources and encourages you to purchase more from the developer. Game is purposely flawed to favor “errors” in game play to make you pay to play. After over a year of playing these issues remain and new issues have been added to game play. Friendships made in game are the only thing keeping me playing.

Complete bullying and total imbalance in player vs. player. Star Trek in graphics only. Star Trek never condoned bullying, but this game developer not only supports it but promotes it. Once you cross about lvl 23 or so, you just become fodder for vastly out powered players, with ZERO chance of defending yourself. I’ve been -laying this game for 5 years and watched it happen. If you are not ready to throw down 10’s of thousands of dollars, your enjoyment will fade. We have a bully alliance chasing our players down. They are almost double the players and out top two or three players don’t even meet their bottom 1/3 in power, yet they are allowed to block our game play, prevent missions and armadas, completely block territory take over. Unlike the developers say, I have made numerous complaints over years, yet absolutely nothing has ever been done to even out player vs. player. Their responses back are a sham and they do nothing to improve game play or support a more fair/balanced gaming experience. If you want to spend 10’s of thousands of dollars and beat up weaker players, than this is a game for you. If not, there is some entertainment but extreme frustration as well. I understand that scopely needs money to keep this going, but it is on a death spiral trying to bring in new players to feed the big spenders. Enter with eyes open.

Cheating is apparently allowed.. So, not long ago, my server was merged into another server, that on average was way higher level then ours. My entire original server has been on its back foot ever since because the people originally from this server have decided we are “invaders” and have literally told us the only way we won’t be treated like dirt is if we quit and leave their server. Now, some of those same bully’s have started hacking the game so that if they target your ship, you can’t run away, your ship will magically change direction when you try and head strait at the oncoming attacker. I reported this, and was told by someone in support that this is “normal pvp”. If you don’t like getting bullied, or pay to win games, don’t play this game. So coming back to with a new complaint. Now a new mechanic has been added to force pvp. As if the game wasn’t unbalanced enough with pay to win, now they have enacted events to require server wide pvp for 4 days straight. In other words, if you aren’t high enough level, it is now impossible to advance or make progress for 4 days out of the week. I have been playing this game since about a year after it launched and it has progressively gotten more and more unfair to anyone that is not rich and willing to drop stupid amounts of cash. The Devs have no idea what Star Trek is about and Gene Roddenberry would be disgusted with this type of thinking.

Greedy overrated garbage. Title pretty much says it. Been playing for a long time...then I realized how the developers only want your money. They have no interest in making a fun balanced game. It’s rigged to favor only players that spend large amounts of money. Any ship worth getting will cost real money and will be insane to level up and tier up the ships. Absolutely no direction with missions. I spend half my time looking up how to get to places missions send me...only to find out that the only way to proceed with some missions requires you to finish other event missions that aren’t even available. Forced PVP is what really kills the fun of this game. Hostile environment toxic bully players. Made up rules per server that if u don’t follow players will go out of their way to make u miserable. Once u hit level 25...everything is too expensive and far to much a boring grind. And for what? So u can get new ships that are only good for certain events...this game is a travesty...it’s greedy unbalanced garbage. If u value your sanity I recommend you find something else. This freemium game stuff needs to stop. Make a free game stay free of cost. The developers should be ashamed of themselves. And seeing how u never know what u may end up getting when u buy something...I don’t see how this isn’t considered gambling.

An embarrassment to the Star Trek name. I have played for a while, but I’m sorry this is just a poorly designed game that brings shame on the Star Trek franchise. Trek is about a positive hopeful future, boldly exploring, meeting new races and civilizations, team missions on strange worlds, the examples set by Kirk, Picard, Archer, and all the rest. Not mining. Soooo much mining, unless you pay to play. Unlock a new ship? Great, now you have to mine something new. Which brings us to the most broken part, PvP. Ship power scales way too quickly and becomes overpowering even a couple levels up. As in they suffer less than 5% damage when taking out all my ships, or space station. Yeah that’s right one ship can destroy a whole space station and 3 ships while taking less than 10% damage. Imagine Picard just flying from station to station blowing them up then taking out 10 mining vessels and that’s the whole game. Just grind away and pick on people less powerful than you, sounds nothing like Star Trek. Building your station is kinda cool, even if you have no frame of reference for any values. And the tech progression is ok, but tedious. If they had just built around that they could have made a decent game. If you want a Star Trek fix, try Timelines, much better play balance and a lot more characters you remember from every series and movie. Live long and Prosper, but not with this game!

Notification fails, horrible customer service. The game has been buggy from the start. Many have gotten worse over the years. The most frustrating is the alert system. The game often fails to tell you you’re being attacked, even if you’re on your phone at the time, leading to a significant or total loss of resources that sometimes you paid for! Don’t throw your money away on buying resources, because Scopely’s failures and bugs will cause you to lose it. The customer service has gone from bad to horrible over the years too. They went from telling you they’d fix it, to telling you it’s working as intended, to totally blocking out any input or comments. It’s just a bot now that immediately closes out the ticket. I’m not paying for this garbage any more, and I suggest others not waste their money until Scopely fixes the game. UPDATE: You can see Scopely’s response. Attack notifications had been incredibly reliable for years. A push came through every attack. You could count on it. Now who knows. And their excuse is lame, because Discord and Twitter and Messenger every news and sports app can figure out how to get their push notifications through. And Scopely did too! It worked. It doesn’t any more. Again, don’t waste your money on resources because Scopely’s failures will lead you to lose them.

Could be good game, but..... I was looking for a game to take over from Galaxy On Fire Alliances, that I’d played for years, but which now is pretty much dead. This game looked good. Started out and seemed OK, although it seemed a bit “pay to win”. After a few weeks now, I’ve quit and deleted it. Not going to pour money into this. It could be a really good game-if they dialled back the money aspect a bit and fixed some issues. Sadly having spoken with their support, that seems unlikely. There are frequent “events”-which at first I found encouraged me to play. Until I realised that even playing very frequently to meet the goals, I still came up halfway. So I wouldn’t get the awesome ship-I’d have to pay to get the other half of the blueprints. Great! Then my base got attacked. Fine-that’s part of a game like this. Except that it had already happened-so I’d built up my base to mitigate such attacks. Sadly the game dynamics were screwy-a player with ships ¼ of my base’s strength easily defeated me and raided the resources I’d built up over a week or two. I don’t blame the player-they were just exploiting screwy dynamics. It really annoyed me, so I contacted game support. Zero help-just repeated fob-offs. So here we are-another game that could’ve made some money off me & that I could’ve enjoyed playing, deleted.

Starts good but doesn’t last. Starts out fun exploring, missions, and resource gathering. But the closer you get to level 20 the less point there is to playing anymore. If you do the missions you eventually hit a point where your expected to kill ships that are over twice the power of your current ships, and to tier up your ships take forever unless you pay $$$. The resources needed for tier up and upgrades have to be gather, but mining vessels get destroyed before you can gather. And the fights become pointless, example: ship A power level 17k, ship B 120k power level. Ship b attacks every ship in the area,player with ship A wiped out, obviously. Ship c power level 11k, ship A cannot attack ship C because the level difference is too high... and yet having a ship with over 100k pl difference attack is perfectly fine. Don’t waste your time unless you want to spend hundreds of $$$s. Even someone of the same level can buy designs giving them 10s of thousands of power difference. While you think you can get the same for free and it will just take longer, that is not the case, I’m level 19 can’t do any of the missions I have because anything I have to fight is 2x the power level of my ships. Or they want donations of resources that max capacity doesn’t cover. Can’t mine anything without getting destroyed by ships that shouldn’t even need the resources I’m mining.

Don’t believe the 4.5 stars. The game is impossible to advance.. I had high hopes for this game, but after you get to level 10 or 11 it gets really hard to advance without spending money. I spent some money. I quickly started to make some progress but when I got to level 15 things just got impossible. I purchased a large pack which gave me a ton of resources and started leveling up again. Within 8 hours of my purchase, one player that was 5 lvls higher and in a ship there was no way in hell I could defend against, cleaned me out of all my stored resources in just an hour. I had only used 20% of the resources I had purchased and given the time requirements for building and leveling it would have taken me a week to use all the resources I had. The other player was rude, and completely happy and proud to have stolen my stuff. This community has no etiquette, no respect for other players and is full of bullies and cowards who must have absolutely no life in the outside world. There is no way to report these players and there is no way to defend your self, because you only get so many shields. If someone destroys your base, you get a 5 min shield. Just 5 min. That is how the guy could sit there and attack me 7 times in a row while I was offline living my normal life. Don’t spend any money cause all it is right now is a ripoff.

Unplayable for me. Constantly crashes when trying to engage in pvp, or do anything at all from the “system” viewpoint. Contacted tech support several times. They say they know about the issues and are working on a fix, although month after month of patches and it’s still not a stable game. Only play this game if you’re willing to drop money in every month. It is an impossible (and very boring / repetitive) grind otherwise. I don’t mind spending money on something I’m going to spend hundreds of hours playing. But it has to not crash every 5 minutes. I wish I could get a refund at this stage but it’s probably pointless.

Ripped off. I have put in so much time, effort and money in building my resources only to have it all taken from me. I now get attacked by ships more than 10 times the strength of me and have to wait 48 mins for my ship to be repaired. There is no more enjoyment in this game yes the old version had bugs but this is nothing more than an attempt to get more cash out of us.. well no way will you be getting another cent out of me .because you will just steal it all away from me again..plus we have to explore the entire system again.. so upset

Not “fun” because other players hamper progress. New players beware. Although the game will allow you to play in a PVE (player vs environment) capacity... after level 20, higher level vultures (players) will constantly stalk you, destroy your mining ships (mining takes time) and ransack your station within 20 mins of a shield expiring. Each raid will set you back weeks...especially as you can only mine small amounts before your ships come under attack again. In order to play this way and avoid constantly being attacked, the game requires exhaustive micro management. Overall, good interface/graphics but I do not recommend playing if you have a life.

Do not play, Poorly rated for a reason.. This game has little to no security in terms of upholding their own Terms of Service, do not let your children play this game at all, the verbal abuse, discrimination and obscene sexual innuendo runs unchecked and un enforced. The little amount of content this game does provide in the Star Trek lore to what amounts to limited gameplay poorly executed at best, for what i must say is one of the most expensive visa swiping games i have ever come across. The fact CBS and Paramount have their names attached to this in any way shape or form is bewildering. Shame to allowing the rights to be sold to Scopley to further add content.

Very poor by new developers. New update and new server to change from original version we were playing. Promised all of station upgraded to current player level, extra resources to reward long time players etc. Result, lots of buildings on station gone rather than upgraded so have to be upgraded back to the level they should have been on. When you complain they feed you some line about having plenty of resources to compensate. I had a fraction of the resources that I had before the upgrade. So far migration time took a day longer than promised, and it has now gone down for maintenance for the second time within 24 hours. Estimated down times are a joke and there is never any updates as to how much longer it is going to take. As for the promised bug fixes I have seen more bugs than usual including all the ones we used to get and new ones as well in the short time we got to play the game today. Developers are not interested in fixing the issues and if no improvement shortly I will be deleting it as well due to them resetting most of my progress with no compensation.

Little players get shafted...big guys get all the breaks. I have been playing the old build for many months. The head-start they gave us when migrating meant I was the same level as before.....biggest players have gone up many levels since and been gifted end-game ships. It takes days to upgrade some buildings and you can’t do anything in the meantime and can be target by the big players and have all of your resources stripped. Have contacted support many times and get the standard we have done it fairly response when it clearly is not! Save yourself some time and AVOID unless significant changes are made.

This is a great game. I have been playing this game for awhile. I really love it. I would definitely suggested to other people. Trust me you all enjoy it best game of ever downloaded, but there are some bugs that do need fixing, but other than that this is really good game I would recommend it for all of you guys.

Put serious time into the grind, one person takes all. Was enjoying until station attacked for the first time. Same player attacked 46 times and took almost all the resources I’d accumulated since beginning the game. Kinda just wanted yo unlock the Discovery but that looks like it’s either gonna take 5 years or an average person’s annual salary. Now thinking should’ve put more time into Duo Lingo or looking up in general still a great TV show. Here’s to the heroes that spent $$$ on this game to prey on casual freeloaders that get sucked in thinking the hours of Station defence research actually protects you.

Moving in the right direction. After a messy world wide release and a move over from the beta stage the dev’s are starting to get things right. There are still some issues but the improvements and fixes brought to the game over the last few months have made me thankful I hung on to playing the game. Now they have started reaching out to the player base means that looking ahead can see the game getting better and better.

Not happy. This game is made for unemployed people who have all day to mine resources, but can’t afford to pay for upgrades lol. I keep opening the game to see if it gets better because if no one played the game you wouldn’t have a viable one. Fingers crossed for an improvement, wouldn’t dare hold my breath, for the time would come when there isn’t any time left! Speed it up Scopely! Please I’ll even get down on my hands and knees... and like so many others I would have a minus * for you Too bad it’s not like eBay I may say, 5* for concept, 5* just for being Star Trek, 1* for value, and minus 10* for time wasted!!

Great game 👍🏻. Hi I am level 13, I love your game but story/side quest bosses are way too hard. My best ship is the turas, the talla is a little too hard to get, continue the great work. Can you increase the amount to two blueprints instead of one because for the price you get nothing Ps it’s kinda hard to level up please make it easier also make event ships eg the USS Franklin accessible even after the event is finished, my idea is for the Franklin is add it to the swarm biometrics and have the drop rates at 2-10 blueprints every time and maybe add them to their respective stores? Please please add the ability to make your own ship e.g. The USS Striker using the base of the USS Franklin and making it a battleship class or the USS Thames using the base of the USS Saladin and making it a Explorer class also can we make groups of enemies like the swarm or Borg? Thanks Federation forever. From ospar5

Allows other players to steal your money. This is a well designed game, in that it encourages you to spend big bucks on In game purchases - but then enables other players to attack your stations and steal your purchased resources - In effect letting them steal your money. Makes money for the developer and license holder but rapidly becomes tedious when the more powerful players become even more powerful by stealing your hard earned resources. I’ve been playing for months and dropped a couple of hundred bucks and spent hundreds of hours trying to mine resources only to see them stolen - DONT BOTHER

Total disappointment. I started playing the game before the company that made it sold the game to Scopefy. They joined two servers and well after that thing went downhill. The graphics may be nice but don’t let that fool you in to thinking it a great game. What seems to be now the new BETA release of the game has more bugs than any other game I have ever played. So far the game has kicked me out of the alliance I was in 5 times and all text for missions is unreadable as well as can complete building an item and as a result I can not use any resources to build, only gold press to buy building. If you want support think again as you will just be given the run around and told the same think over and over with no outcome. If any person want to play wait till after the 29th of November and see if the next version is any better. It is sad that CBS has attached their name to this disaster of a game. Thanks from a very unhappy player

Cancerous community; cancerous game system. Can’t believe it actively encourages players to grief each other and offers little recourse while you aren’t playing to prevent you from being griefed. I found some nice supportive players on there, in amidst the children who attack you while you aren’t logged on and steal the things in the game you worked hard for or bought. The problem is that you aren’t really playing against other players, your playing against the game itself. It’s marketed to spend massive amounts of cash, supposedly for an advantage but really all the resource grinding and cash paying doesn’t get you very far. The game simply wants you to spend a little more cash to get over the horizon to them push you closer to the next horizon… Buy an Xbox and play that. It’s more enjoyable and ultimately cheaper than this.

Promising. I have only played a few days so cannot comment on pvp. It seems like a lot of other building resource games but it works well at giving a good feel of a Star Trek universe. The quests in particular are very good and many give choices on how you complete them. Graphics are great, but the quests immerse you into a universe very much like what the Star Trek tv shows present. I am hoping it will keep me hooked.

Same price, different reward.. Fun game but beware which server you land on. The company charges the same price for resource packs, ship packs, monthly packs etc, however what you get for that price can be two thirds less than what you would get on an older server. In addition to this, there is a loot box element where you don’t know what you will get and number of that you will get. All up this variable return for same cost outlay is disgraceful and I would recommend you consider paying for anything in the game until it is fixed.

BS game. Was enjoying this game until it became a free-for-all. Can’t mine or do missions - everyone just wipes you out - ships are useless and you’ll spend all your time waiting for repairs. If you do spend any money (and I strongly discourage that!) then typical Scopely make sure you get nothing for your buck - I made 3 purchases and didn’t get enough to recruit 1 officer! And then I made 1 big purchase, and once again got nothing!!! I tried signing up on various offers for “free” latinum, and didn’t get any rewards as promised either - major rip off & scam - avoid this game.

Not too bad except for a few issues. Those issues being lack of purchase options for anything under $80, most of the purchase options are 4 x $160 and 4 x $90, but only 1 $31 pack. It’s obvious they just want you to spend up big but not get much for your money. They smaller packs are worth it but obviously not available for purchase once you purchase them. Fix that problem and the problem with spammers in galaxy chat and you’d get a 5 star from me.

Needs bug spray. Can’t believe that a game like this and for such a big fan base would be riddled with so many bugs and faults. Even playing for a while and have yet to see a update or a fix for at least one problem yet. Other then that it can be fun to play at first but after you level up everything becomes more difficult quiet fast and the upgrade times go on for days. And don’t get me started on the fact they make it this way just so you are forced to pay to get ahead once your further along in the game.

Waste of time and money.. 260 day wait for a quality of life update, and all they did was add a few zeros to things, hasn’t addressed any of the issues raised numerous times by the community at large. Once you hit lvl 20 need to spend $100usd per month, lvl 30 goes up to weekly, just to keep moving forward. Game is designed purely to bleed credit cards and bank accounts. You want a ship that’ll be $450usd you want to upgrade it that’ll be $2500usd. Can play for free sure, that same ship will take 18 months of daily events to “almost” get enough parts to build. I have one ship that requires 3.2 million parts to upgrade one part of the ship out of 6 parts for a single tier up of the 9 tiers available. the daily grind take home is 35,000 parts so yeah. Or you can upgrade that one part for $100usd. Customer support is a joke, anything reported as a bug is either “working as intended” or “will pass a message along” will also respond anywhere from a few hours to a week later.

Very expensive and buggy. Enjoyed the Star Trek storylines and references, but found this to be one of the most expensive multiplayer games I’ve experienced. If you do decide to spend the minimum of $7.99 or $30 for a store pack, you quickly lose any bought resources if you forget to shield your base. My game crashes every half hour, and still has bugs never addressed such as your ship getting stuck in attack mode. Players have to agree to server rules to try to balance the game so that mining becomes somewhat possible. Higher ranked players are able to attack very high range of lower players making it too top heavy for P2P. If you want to play for fun, don’t go higher than lvl 14, and don’t buy packs.

A health hazard of a game that only wants your money. Apart from the myriad of issues with this game (including the constant bugs, lack of stability and ever increasing cash grabs), the recent update includes a bug which has been inducing seizures in multiple players, including myself. The employees paid to manage the community openly ignore any comments about this and allow other players to engage in mockery about it. I would say this is low even for scopely, but they’ve had a known system with a similar issue for years and done nothing about it.

Bugged - no support. I initially loved this game. Great concept. Then at level 8, a main mission required me to go somewhere I could not go. So I decided to work on getting there. As I continued, I realised something wasn’t right. Contacted support and they told me “no, you must complete the mission”. That was 4 weeks ago; I’m now level 19 and a few dollars down. I finally get there and I’m then sent back to missions from level 8? Terrible support, and disappointing given how much I was enjoying the game. I’ve wasted weeks and weeks.

Do not recommend this game. I do not recommend this game unless you’re a millionaire this game is based on the fact you have to spend a lot of money or be a moderator and get free stuff from Scopely, and if you have a problem in the game don’t expect them to help you it would take years for them to help you. And you need to be over 18 because the language in this game is not acceptable for anyone under the age of 18 they allow the people to use bad language if they’re a moderator if you’re not a moderator you’re not allowed to use bad language if you’re a moderate are you allowed to use bad language. Moderator allowed to abuse bully other players in the game even if they’re 11 years old.

Nonsense. Seriously, anyone who is giving this game anything over a 1 star rating is either misguided or employed by the company that develops the game. We, the players, are continually given rubbish updates, that make the game all but useless. In the most recent “update” the range our starships can travel has been halved, so that it is nearly impossible to achieve anything without...you guessed it...buying expensive packs to upgrade things. Nothing but a greedy money grab, pay to play at its worst. Honest reviews people, please! Oh yeah, if you’re looking at playing this game, one word of advice - don’t!

Waste of money. 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.

Good game, but a grind. 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

Getting better but still needs more polish.. This game is getting better. Still bugs here and there... but gameplay and monthly mission ARCs are getting very good. Customer support is starting to become more helpful, but still has a long way to go to get a 5 star rating. Offical Star Trek licensing and great alliance focused events and Armadas makes you come back for more every day. Packs are still on the expensive side. Squish a few more bugs and give customer support more freedom to look after players and you will get 5 stars from me.

Money hunger game. Let us be frank. This game is designed for one purpose only: money. I can’t see how anyone can progress further without spending a dime on this game. And even if you spend $100, you won’t go far. The only way to progress is to spend $1000 or more. Daily rewards stack up more time and money spending. To get an ultra rare officer with the monthly rewards, you will spend 1 year of your time in frustration and at least $100. To get any rare ships, you will spend >couple of $100s. And let’s just forget about the Enterprise, there is no chance you will get it without spending money. Of course, it is unfair for the developer if everything is free, but the greed just disgusts me out. So I am out.

Scopely just out for money-greed drives them. True Ferengi. Auto generated refinery will go days without giving items needed to level up players, ships, station/base and research for the sextuple + places needed. This is not a game for people. It’a purely a money generating platform. Once to lvl 20 (easy/fast to get there w/o paying), games turns on you and it’s impossible to get any events completed or items/things mentioned above without paying for it. And at $159 for most- $79 for the lessor items (not 1 off-need multiple- on a regular basis), it’s not a game for Star Trek fans. It’s simply a way for you to lose money and feel taken in by scopely. Shame on this company.

Great game but needs more content. 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

Could have been an Amazing game… but. I’ve been playing for about 18 months, after reading the reviews back then, I should have listened and stayed away and saved my money. That is what this game is all about. It could be a great team game,but sadly its whoever pays to win, is looked after, and the rest pay play and leave. Merge servers to keep the max number of players paying, but making it unplayable, don’t worry about th high paying bullies, alliances or rogue players, so sadly it’s times to go…save my money or give it to someone else.

Great game - really poor customer service and stability. I’ve been playing since STFC started and I’m still really engrossed in the playing style and new releases. But you’d better be ready for terrible customer service, they sit on support tickets for ages and give bot replies. You also cannot play an hour or more without a seize or crash, the stability is garbage on iOS, and it hasn’t been improved in years, literally.

Beware your peace shields. Played this game for a year, one thing you need to be careful of is making sure you keep your peace shield up otherwise your base will be emptied by other players. However I recently found out this isn’t guaranteed, the scopely server had a glitch and didn’t register my shield been activated. Scopley told me I was mistaken and won’t refund the lost resources due to a glitch on their end. Don’t bother playing this game, months of play can be lost due no fault of your own and Scopely won’t care.

Pathetic company stay away. Game had possibility After merge They shafted us , took away what we purchased and unlocked , refused to refund or credit what they stole , said they ran events to compensate , those events did not compensate even half of what I lost , they refuse to refund credit , they even refuse there own terms of service where it states you can request arbitration or escalation , they refuse because they know there in the wrong They have stolen money and lied for the last 6 months we have been Playing a beta under the pretence of a full version then 2 weeks ago they say oh no it’s a beta you shouldn’t have spent anything 1000’s of players are requesting refunds as am I As they do not care for there players only there $$$ and when they stuff up they refuse to credit back As such as are others I’m now engaging in legal action

Nerfed. The change of provider has made the game a lot less buggy, although the ones that remain are still irritating, and it seems like few of the gameplay issues from the first attempt have been resolved. The real issue now is that mining has been rebalanced so that it’s impossible to mine enough resources to cover combat losses. This is going to kill the game unless it’s urgently fixed, which is a shame because the art and production values are great. Play it for a bit, but don’t spend any money on it until it’s fixed.

Happily surprised. I’ve played some strategy games before and the pay to win wall can hit hard on sometimes. However here, there is so much variety. The game doesn’t lock you into one task. You can let you base upgrade while you explore a huge map really early. Pick and choose missions with good rewards. Been grinding for a day and it got me enthused enough to write a review, so that’s a good sign.

Be warned, good game, but terrible stability issues.. I’ve enjoyed this game for the last year and I’ve tolerated it for the other half. Unfortunately I feel after 6 months of consistent lag, disconnects every 10 min, crashes every 5-15 min I must warn everyone against currently investing time or money into this game. As the problems have gotten progressively worse over the past 6 months not better, with no end in sight. Almost unplayable. I’m not sure about other devices but I’m surprised this application is actually allowed to be put on apple store as it is functionally broken. In the past 6 months have seen 6 long term players who spent big money and time leave in just our alliance due to the never ending bugs, lag and crashes. And these are players who have spent 1000s of dollars on this game. Only reason why I’m sticking with it for now is because of the time already invested hoping for this to change.

Star Trek Fleet Command: pay to play or die trying. At the start this is a great game... But it soon becomes impossible to progress without paying LARGE sums of money. And if you do decide to pay money your base WILL be attacked and you WILL lose half of what you paid for. If you enjoy being cyber bullied and ganged up on then this is the game for you! If you accidentally bump into someone’s mining ship they will more than likely send you a private message threatening you and then have their alliance find your base and take everything you have... And then they WILL message you to gloat about it. In conclusion, enjoy for one week, then delete.

Expensive and Buggy. Very buggy, even after supposed fixes and lag is terrible, and it is NOT from my end. You want to have very deep pockets cause Scopely very greedy in that respect. Expansion packs are way too expensive and requirements to level up when you hit around Level 25 mark starts getting very unrealistic because they want you to spend, spend, spend. Not enough nodes for Dilithium, Gas or Ore mining to go around considering how many playing. I get we supposed to fight for them etc. but deliberate shortage to again encourage more spending. Game total rip off.

So I found out why. So sorry I found out the reason why I was unable to use the chat systems. The reason why I was unable to use the chat systems was because I had 2 devices that had the game but I was using the game on my iPad and I accidentally pressed the game on my iPhone and forgot to close the game down on my iPad so I got an error message on my iPad and I just swiped the game up and that was how I broke the game on my iPad so how I could fix it was to play the game on my iPhone and then do the same thing that I did to break it on my iPad but on my iPhone so I can get to use my chat systems again

Not Good Not Enjoying It!!!. Being attacked by stronger players whilst mining via weak ships is annoying. I want to mine without being attacked in the neutral star systems. Being attacked by other players whilst mining. Should only happen if you're in a different faction zone. Not while you're in the neutral zone. If that can't be properly balanced then I will not recommend this game to anyone. Plus perhaps you should allow other players to mine. But if you're being attacked. You're not going to be destroyed. Instead there'll be a plunder limit of how many times you can be attacked but you won't be destroyed but losing whatever resources you've got from the current mining. Whilst your ship still continues to mine the remaining ore. And after mining your ship that has finished mining would be able to return back to your base automatically if you have enabled that setting.

Disappointing. There was a server change and a (so-called) massive up date to fix heaps of bugs! We were promised heaps of things like resources, officers and to have our bases buildings all upgraded to our station level.....what we received instead was: ships lost, officers lost, materials lost, missions already completed lost, equipment to upgrade ships lost, the galaxy had to be discovered again... and the list goes on and on. What we did get is a bit of latinum to help buy speed ups and resources....HOWEVER as everything costs so much more on this new server what little latinum we got has to be used to recover a little of what we had lost! An extremely disappointing effort by the developers! I wouldn’t waster your time on this game UNTIL the devs actually get their act together....but on previous experience don’t hold your breath! This game at the moment doesn’t even rate 1 star!

Game is good but the bugs are never fixed. Although it’s fun to play and you meet awesome people in the game the developers are appalling. The only bugs that are ever fixed are ones the directly impede on their revenue stream, there are bugs in the game that have been here for years and never fixed and every update new ones are created. If you report them you’re either told they will be raised with the developers and/or to try restarting the game which you have to do regularly anyway due to the crashes, freezes and bugs. I do not recommend ever doing in app purchases until they put an effort in to improve game playing experience. Stop the new content and fix the existing issues first. I’ve never come across such a poorly supported app in all my life. So many bugs and such a poor level of care factor.

Don’t bother. Initially a good fun game. But play for more than a few days and the ongoing game crashes and overpriced in app purchases with wildly varying value dependent on which server you’re unfortunate to be assigned to. But the kicker with this game is the ongoing crashing. It happens with great regularity and support are at best indifferent to the issue. The incompetence of the game developers to fix the issue are only matched by the greed for in app purchases. At this stage I’d rather spend my time bashing my groin with a stone as I’d feel about as good afterwards and not have spent any money for a app that works about as well as throwing fuel on a fire to put it out.

Corporate Greed v.s Great Game. The base game is great, but the Scopely is by far the worst developer in the industry! Starting the at least my current bug which hasn’t been fixed where my Discovery special ability no longer works (just get an error), which if i didn’t spend $$ on would be fine realistically if you want to get ahead its the only way. But how much do you need to spend? Realistically even the most frugal players are spending $30 per month & still take years to progress, if you want to progress, start thinking thousands!!! If this game was run by EA or Activision or any other good developer it would still cost you but not nearly as much & there would be no bugs. An example, the ship you want to get is the Enterprise, Scopely values this at over $900! Great game which is slowly getting ruined by corporate greed!!

Save yourself some frustration. The game at its core isn't a bad one. The issue comes when you talk about balance and level progression. Currently I have at least four missions I've been given that, at my level, I can't possibly do. This isn't about being a bad gamer, I literally can't do the mission as I have to be able to warp X amount of jumps when the best of my ships can do about 10 less than that. So I physically can't get to where I need to be too start, continue or finish the missions. Very frustrating, save yourself some grief and don't get this game.

Great game but poor support. Be warned if you play this game and don’t spend real money a lot to get by in this game you will never be able to enjoy it. The open level PVP system in this game is designed to work for anyone why pays to win. It allows players with such high strength in there ships to attack lower level players once you hit level 20 your open targets to any player up to level 32 that’s right 12 levels higher to just keep killing you while you try and do your daily missions and quests. Don’t expect much from the company running this game for CBS they don’t seem to care really unless your account spends hundreds of dollars just to play this game. As a big Star Trek fan I love the game but the culture they allow to fester in the game of super high and strong players able to attack lower and weaker players with no chance to be able to defend yourself. Be warned it will really start to turn you off fast.

Amazing game. Different from everything I ever played. Still a bit of things to improve, for exemple whe do you want to find your spaceship and you are on a different galaxy, even if press there’s no shortcut to find it, you will need to go first to your home galaxy and then try to find your spaceship... another thing is about the freedom to build your suppliers materials, it’s a bit tough yet it takes a bit too long to start unlock the things... but out of that, it’s a impressive game... I love it...

PTW. Another pay to win game ??? Not for the first 14 levels where you can chill doing missions and events but after that it’s a pvp free for all ( only by players close to your level though). There has been recent server mergers and now some areas are way over crowded, which makes a shift in who is the dominate power. Overall it’s pretty addictive until you spend real money and get your behind kicked daily lol

Non stop beat up. Not a horrible game as far as advancement but the constant stealing and attacking by other players will leave you deflated. Days of trying to accumulate items and only to have it all stolen in moments. Sorry but you lost me as a player on this one.

In game help is useless. I’m trying to report in issue, but the not just gives me useless information, then closes the chat.

Waste of time. Total waste of time. Unless you spend money you’re forced to grind all hours of the day to make mediocre progress, which can be ruined by a pay to win player.

Do not bother. This is another typical pay to win game. That wouldn’t be so bad other than the fact is that the game play itself is so poor and so bogged down with the latest repair times that unless you want pay real money all you end up doing is waiting. The developer is only interested in generating funds and is not even remotely interested in constructive feedback from the people who are trying to play the game. Support is laughable as it is a simple bot that in the end does nothing, so no real support. Do not bother as there are far more engaging games available! If I could give this game a zero rating I would

This is not Star Trek. The developers have never seen Star Trek they are using the name to get people to download this trash. This a game about piracy and payed players and higher level players stealing from other lower level players. I’ve played the game for about 3 months and you need to pay money to play this game because mining is pointless when it’s faster to steal from other players unless you are on the game all the time to keep putting shields up your bace it will get attacked repeatedly until almost all you’re resources are gone. It only takes minutes to steal a month worth of mining. Just one look at the cost of thing thing this game you should know that it just a money grab and a shameful use of a franchise

Good game. Good game

Terrible game. Impossible to play as the game is rigged to allow stronger players to simply prey on the new players. Beyond me how the game manages to survive.

Bullying in Star Trek?. Not a fan of the bullying that takes place in the game. Definitely not what Star Trek is supposed to be about.

A detriment to star trek principles. The game’s internal politics between players is a vast majority of drama, bullying, and unwarranted stress. Most alliances bully others, threaten ultimatums, and actively antagonize one another. This is entirely antithetical to all that star trek resembles and reveres: diplomacy, discovery, unity, progressiveness, humanitarianism. In addition to that, the game is incredibly glitchy. What is playable is boringly slow, often taking a full day’s worth of waiting for base/ship building to finish so you can actually play the game. The game also is extremely top-heavy in terms of pay-to-play. All high spending players have massively overpowered ships which in a pvp environment ultimately suppress any hopeful upstart beginner to the game. Literally the only upsides are the music, graphics, and maybe bits and pieces of the story. All else is ruined by greed, power imbalance, glitches, and the worse side of gamers’ personalities. I did make some friends who I cherished, but sadly they weren’t enough to redeem the game itself. Play at your own risk.

Beware Scopley Overlords. So if you get banned it’s up to you to prove that you didn’t do anything wrong even though you have no access to the game. If you are brave enough to disagree with the developers and try and push back you will see your ban increased to twice as long for daring to stand up for your rights!

Absolute joke. Unless you plan to drop hundreds of dollars into this game, don’t bother with it. Every rolled out update comes with enough bugs and server lag to shut the game down completely for an extended period. When new ships and officers are offered to players, they are offered to paying players ONLY. As you advance in the game, rewards will become more and more worthless until you spend half a day grinding and most of the prizes you earn will be blueprints for ships that are ten to twenty levels below you. If the developer posts a response to this review, they’ll lie about “quality of life” improvements and I’ll be invited to contact support directly with further feedback. This is false and a waste of time. If Scopely Support even bothers to respond to my message, they’ll completely ignore what I’ve written to brush my concerns off because I’m a Free to Play player. The developer doesn’t care about the player base beyond how much money they can squeeze out of it. If you find the right alliance (not clan. ALL the promotional material for this game is false advertising), you’ll enjoy hanging out with new people, but if you’re a potential new player, stay away. Scopely couldn’t care less about your gaming experience. Now watch as they drop a Developer Response full of meaningless platitudes and falsehoods, and that is word for word the same response they use on every other review. Edit: As predicted, the developer responded with meaningless platitudes and falsehoods. They fail to mention that Scopley Support will often take so long to respond that by the time my message is even acknowledged, it’s a week after the event I messaged about and support is no longer possible. The only thing Scopely cares about is your money.

Don’t bother. Full of bugs. I stopped sending lists of bugs and recommendations after repeatedly receiving the standard, “We’ll look into it” response. Dull quest line with poor rewards. Combat is almost non existent and the rewards seem completely random. No sense of accomplishment from upgrading or researching. Character, ship, base and player progression are completely uninspiring. Open PvP is messy and pointless. The interface and display is bafflingly confusing, requiring you to dig deep into unrelated sub menus to get to where you want to be. The lack of a proper “home” button or decent dashboard display means you need to hit the back button so much you’ll start to worry about straining your finger. I quit after level 12.

Unfair game setup. Understand every game needs p2w player, but this game make free to play or low spender player becomes prey only. No chance to even slightly challenge high level player. In their TC section, a level 50 player can literally hit on level 1 player. Unbelievable. So new joiner, if you like to only become prey then do join and play

An insult to Gene Roddenberry. This garbage game encourages violence toward your fellow man and gang-bully-mentality and discourages cooperation and peace—the premise and core principles of Star Trek!! This game is an affront to Gene Roddenberry and an insult to his beliefs! To call it Star Trek is a disgrace! We’re sorry corporate greed and gratuitous violence — both of which are a dark reminder of our primitive past in the real Star Trek Universe — has twisted your vision of the future into NRA’s. P.S. Those of you who pay for Latium are binaries morons (see psychology def’s).

Cash grab.. You will literally only progress to a level 15 before you are forced to pay. Mining resources naturally will takes weeks and then you’ll have to be refined for common and uncommon ore, gas, and crystal. It’s odds of getting uncommon(s) is what gets you. After one batch which will take you at least 5 days from mining to refinement you might get 4 and your will require 10x that to upgrade one of several systems on a ship. This game sounds good on the cover, but the developer will only let you progress if you spend major money. It’s a complete joke and I’m hooked.... You will put months of play into this game and then you’ll hit a wall that will require $30.00 to get over. And that’s for just 1 of the 50 levels in the game. If you have $1000.00 bucks kicking around to complete the game then go for it. If not take a pass.

Fun game, fast moving, lots of expectation. So far the game is very fun, rewarding, simple but understandable control and GUI. A little demanding on newer players to evolve quickly, and although it gives you missions, (in no particular order that help this) you are kind of on your own to make you way. Some in game players can be counterproductive, or bullying and Galaxy chat is a cesspool of small D energy. That’s the same in any game world. I’m looking forward to new ships and abilities, but we’ll see how long I can keep up with the in game progress expectations. So far so good.

Pay to play only. The game is packed with bullies and you can’t do anything without spending real money. I played for a couple months without spending anything and I came to a sudden stop. The bullying, politics, and a$$hole nature of players make it unplayable if you don’t spend money. This game is Not recommended.

Good game, wrong timeline. Not bad .... but it’s kelvin timeline .... where is my enterprise D & E?

Not a Star Trek game. This is a boring “mining” game in which you get punished for trying to obtain resources. You see, the developers give you access to unlimited resources and then choke you out by giving you minimal storage. So minimal in fact that there is no real way to progress without paying. It’s an awfully buggy, unfinished product on top of it all. So it makes me wish it would exit in horrible dishonourable Klingon dumpster fire. This game will not live long and prosper in its current paywall state. Do not spend a dime on this Scam.

Gave it a real try. I love everything Star Trek. I really tried this one. Got some coin out of me. Once this game gets into fleets it’s just not fun. Politics and blackmail. Bullying, homophobia, racism and lack of care from the company makes it a very horrible place to game. The over powered pay to win players make it impossible to move forward. The game is very glitchy and slow. Often you don’t get your rewards. I work frontline in a Covid isolation unit for the homeless,vicarious housed, refugees and substance users. I deal with the worst of humanity on a daily basis, games like this really help me to unwind. Yet this one, the players I have met are meaner and more disgusting in social interactions than any I have met before. I am going to look up this companies other games and ensure I don’t ever download anything if there’s again. If I could get a refund I would.

Latest update adds too much maintenance junk to the game. Should have a toggle to disable incursions vs forcing ppl to move bases and apply shields. Everything done to encourage spending on shields and other $$$ things. Not much done on other “improvements”

Waste of time and money. I enjoyed the game immensely, until I realized the only way to participate fully was to spend AT LEAST $250 USD a month on ships and officer shards. If you go "free to play", the higher level "Whales" (big spenders - >$1000 USD/month) will make your game play miserable by repeatedly blowing up your ships and laughing at you. Signed, DreadPirateGarak, Ops 42, Server 84.

The worst kind of mobile game. This is one of those truly awful Pay to Win types of games. If you’re not willing to invest at least a thousand dollars or more into the game, don’t even bother playing. Every thing there is to do in the game is designed to frustrate you into spending money. Building onto your station? There are 40 or so station pieces for you to build and level up, something that takes upwards of 30 hours and a ridiculous amount of resources (which, of course, are very hard to get in game, requiring mining at a node for 20-30 hours, during which time someone will just come and destroy your ship, because there’s no way you can babysit that node for 30 hours). And if you’ve actually managed to stockpile some resources at your base? Some “winner” who sunk a car payment into one of their special “paid” ships will come in with a single even levelled ship that somehow has more power than your entire station and steal everything you’ve spent months accumulating, with absolutely zero recourse. Even their monthly participation track (some call it a season pass, some a battle pass, etc), which most companies charge $20 for the paid rewards is an insane cash grab that costs $130 in this game. Seriously, don’t bother. You won’t find a worse game.

BULLIES!. Do NOT download and play this game, it is a game for bullies and Scopely will do NOTHING about it. Support say they will be in contact within 24 hours but that’s a lie, they have never been in contact with me within 24 hours of a complaint.

More like anti-Star Trek. After investing almost 6 months into this game: don’t do it. The bugs are only balanced by the lopsided gameplay. If you are hoping for a fun F2P Star Trek experience you won’t find it here. The servers are stacked with many who have spent +10K who have vastly overpowered ships and will attack you and take your collected resources. Since players almost 10 levels above you can attack lower level players you have no recourse. Add to that the near constant racism, homophobia, and open bullying you find in the global chat are horrifying and go unchecked by the developers. CBS Interactive: you should be ashamed you labeled this Star Trek.

Boring!. This game has more bugs than a summer camping trip! If you don’t have a small fortune forget it, too many other players do paytoplay(p2p) and will destroy you, which goes against the essence of what Star Trek really was about... The developers greed got in the way of them making a decent game. I am just glad these same developers aren’t involved with the programming of the self driving cars, cause there would be a heck of a lot of crashes! Play at your own risk of boredom!

Bullying not addressed. Good graphics and concept, but Scopely just allows PoS bullies to run rampant and ruin the concept of the game for others who want to mine and do missions like the game is set up to do. There should be blocks where you can play your game invisibly to online bullies and stalkers who like to hunt people they have chosen NOT to like. 95% want to play the missions and game set up but the 5% doing the PvP bullying turn the game into a school yard bully session. Too bad Scopey is paying more attention to the 5% (online bullies) and not the 95% who actually want to enjoy the game. Recommend finding a different game to play unless you like being bullied.

Infinite incursions is a nightmare. So, if pay to win wasn’t bad enough, the devs decided, in their infinite wisdom, that there wasn’t enough abuse within this game towards the players, that they would pit server against server, without bothering to check that the servers they pitted against each other in an all out melee were remotely equal. So after playing this game for a year, it’s now a nightmare. My favourite tv franchise is now a nightmare game. I never thought I’d say that. The game is almost unplayable with all the glitches and “reboots” and the devs don’t care as long as they can get your $99 USD for packs. Run don’t walk away. Turn off phone and delete the APP.

Pay to play game. Becoming more and more of a pay to play geared game, each new roll out, which is every month , comes with more and more glitches instead of fixing the compounding glitches that they’ve developed, game is becoming very frustrating to play

Don’t bother with this game. This hame is severely disappointing. In order to get anywhere you have to spend tons of money as they only have overpriced packages available in their store once you buy the smaller $6.99 ones they disappear and go from $14 to $27 to $70. Progress is painfully slow as research times are long, each batch of materials takes 9 hours to refine with no option to speed that up like everything else and because there’s either not enough resources to go around or people it’s just easier, people just go around destroying your mining ships before you get any significant amount of anything you need so to have any chance you’ve got to use your fighting or exploring ships to mine which takes even longer and sooner or later someone comes along and destroys those too! Plus when you do have enough ore, gas or crystal to make a batch you can go three or four batches (once again 9 hours each) without getting the “uncommon” type you need to upgrade your ships and even then it’s most often such a piddly amount that it takes forever just to upgrade one part which you have to do over and over again each time you upgrade all the parts on your ship and “tier up”. I haven’t upgraded to the level where stations can be attacked as I can only imagine the level of frustration that would add. This game is a joke. I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled it a couple of times and gave it another chance but now, I’m done!

Timers and more timers. If you like a game with a lot of timers ! This is for you! You don’t do any starship battles. They are automated. But you get to build and wait ... build and wait... the characters are just bonus to your auto starship battles. Also you get click then wait for the timer. Click wait for timer.

Waste of time, not fun. You just end up going through the pointless paces. No real storylines. Nothing interesting to explore. Don't waste your time.

0 ads but...... It’s a damn slow game, not in terms of loading screens but in progression. Because they don’t run ads, this is very much a Pay-to-Play. You can pretty much progress at a very rapid rate up until you reach level 9. You start encountering pay walls that you’d have to grind to overcome for a very long time. This also includes resources that you don’t have any actual options to contain outside of a daily challenges style loot system.

GREED!!. Unless you plan on spending thousands of dollars, skip this game. The developers like to gouge you for everything possible at ridiculous prices. Want a enterprise ship? You need 150 shards, which will take a year or so, but you can BUY them @ 15 for $140cdn ($100us). Even the ferengi arent this greedy!!

One of if not the worst game provider. Not sure if there server are outdated or their programming department is over ambitious, but it seems they can’t get anything right. Everyday there are issues with lag, events being cancelled, functions not working. And for how much they charge for any in app purchase is greedy and ridiculous, you would think they would use some of that money to upgrade better game play. Run by a bunch of useless people!! Zero stars

Worst Dev’s Ever!. The Game is not fun to play. It is full of game breaking glitches and bugs. It is a money grab. Total P2W garbage. An insult to the Star Trek franchise. At least with Star Trek Timelines the devs give compensation to players as appreciation for patiently waiting for bugs to be fixed. Customer support is insulting and demonstrate a lack of appreciation for the patience of their player base while waiting on bugs to be fixed. Many instances of lost progress with no compensation offered even for those who have spent real money. This is not a game, it is a rigged barely playable carnival level ripoff machine. Do not support garbage like this.

Scopely just wants your money. Since the new owners of scopely took over servers have got real bag constant bugs on updates…. And iPad…iPad users game crashes multiple times an hour…. They have become more money hungry…coming out with more and more stuff you need to pay for….the same stuff you do get for free… daily refinery they give you the very least when it says you get a chance to get higher…..I have yet to get anything higher then the very least from the litithium refinery…..my recommendation (Find a better game)….if your just starting out you to far behind anyway.

Game Sucks. The game sucks. The internal conflict between players is horrible, if you break the player-made rules of engagement (each server has attacking rules based on the trust system) you get attacked and bullied by other players even though ROE are not official rules. Although there are some good moments like a cease-fire after an active member (in-game and the community-made server discord) passes away IRL or leaves the game (if you break the cease-fire you will be attacked and bullied). The game is also beyond pay to win its PAY TO PLAY! Don’t get it it's not fun after a while. Toxic community, PAY TO PLAY and not worth the stress.

Non-stop glitches!. I think Scopely must have hired the worst programmers in the history of video games! There is non-stop glitches and every time there’s new content added it gets worse, sometimes unplayable! Also, trying to access the online store through iOS is near impossible as the page freezes non-stop! For the amount of money they charge for in game items and how much people spend you would think this game would be near perfect, unfortunately this is far from reality!

Attn Parents: cyber bullying. Hello everyone, I am not one to write bad reviews as there is enough negativity in the world. But this app has all age ranges as it is rated 12+. Some of the players are kind and considerate. Others are downright cruel…one in particular has sent numerous messages calling people awful names, and although the system screens for profanity it doesn’t catch the nuance of slang such as when someone tells a 12 yr old boy to “eat sausage you any player” well any 12 yr old knows that “any” was meant to be a different word. And blocking the remarks doesn’t stop the constant attacks by ignoring rules of engagement (ROE). Until remedies can be arranged to protect our kids this game should be avoided at all costs. Cyber bullying is real and it needs to be stopped.

Stay Away. This game has the potential to be one of the best StarTrek games on iOS if the game wasn’t full of bugs and wasn’t so imbalanced in favour of those who pay to play. As a huge Star Trek fan I really wanted to love this game but alas the developers show little support and blame all their poor programming on the users or a need to restart the program. Each day brings a new bug that sucks the fun out of the game and that is ignoring the constant pvp from wallet warriors who would rather take you out for resources than work for it themselves. Top that off with all the higher level resources being selfishly guarded by all the strong alliances and it doesn’t leave any avenue for growth except for those willing to spend a lot of money. This game is not worth it... if you want a Star Trek game play Trexels 2. That one is at least fun and can be played to the fullest for free!

Do not play unless you’re willing to pay to win!. Been playing this game for a few weeks now, and can honestly say that I’m already thinking of quitting. Reasons: - If you don’t have deep pockets to pay to win, then don’t bother to start this game. You will be bullied by older players or player willing to pay to win. Bullied how? Have your ships killed for no reason. Your bases raided by players 8 levels higher than you. Unable to mine resources because players 10 levels higher than you are just camping on the mines and there’s nothing you can do about it. Etc... GAME IS JUST NOT FRIENDLY FOR NEW PLAYERS. - Game is really unbalanced. You get assigned missions waaaaay above your capability to complete. Having to kill 100k powered bosses when your best ship is only ~10k? Oh wait, if you’re will to pay to win then it gets much easier. However, you’d probably have to spend a few hundred dollars to get close to that because the purchase values are pretty bad. - Upgrading your ships is a nightmare because the required uncommon resources are nearly impossible to come by. Refining rates and success are a joke. Again, pay to bypass this again... - So many glitches and apparently no attempts to fix. Lots of hacking going on too (just google it). This is quite a shame since the game has massive potential, but unfortunate the greed of the developers are glaring. This game does not embrace the spirit of Star Trek, which is diplomacy and discovery. Instead it enables wallet warriors to bully others for whatever sick satisfaction they get out of it. Devs, if you read this, then you have to rebalance and rethink where this game is going because you’re not going to get many new player stick around.

Save your money and stay away.. This game has no correlation with the Star Trek franchise values. This is a game of bullying others just because you can. The chat line is full of obscene language and common bullying, not mention the conversations on politics which infuriates me. This game is a total time waster of building structures, power and strength. If you pay you build faster but the end game is destroy everyone everywhere or be destroyed. Gene Roddenberry would be SO unhappy,

Ruined game.. There is a core game here of steady advancement and achievement. This is absolutely ruined by forced PVP that does nothing but invalidate any achievement and ruin any enjoyment or feeling of accomplishment. The game openly rewards bullies. I pity anyone who spends money on this. Star Trek in name only.

What a joke!!!. Unless you have tons of money to invest do not bother to play this game. It is too bad as this game has a lot of potential.

Terrible Game. This game is not a good one. The focus of the developers is to bleed as much cash as they can. We are not talking about a dollar here and maybe two dollars there. How about 30 dollars here and 60 dollars there. The game is fun when you first start playing. It does not cost anything during level 1 to 15. But after that your home base will be attacked by other players. The result of constant attacks by much higher level players attacking results in the compete loss of mined resources which took you days or weeks to accumulate. The developer has a solution for this. You can buy these resources for big $. But beware, these other higher players will attack and steal those too. This game is completely unbalanced for game enjoyment. But rather balanced for the developer to take your money, and lots of it. As a result, this game has nothing to do with the true spirit of Star Trek. I did get to level 22, but it is no longer enjoyable. I deleted it. It is one of the least satisfying games I have ever played.

Money hungry. This game could be amazing, buuuuuut not. I’ve been playing for 3 years, so I do like the game… when it works. The problem is, it doesn’t work smoothly.. ever. Instead of fixing issues that have plagued the game for years, they only want to hurry new content into the game, creating more money for them and more headaches for the players. On the verge of quitting right now due to it being almost unplayable. Game freezes or kicks you out, every 10 minutes or so. But if you can get past the glitches, then there’s the pay wall. I mean, these guys gotta make money, it’s a business but this is ridiculous . Most expensive game I’ve ever seen! Bottom line is, would I do it all over again, knowing what I know now? NO.

Players beware. This is another game that is actually worse than the pay to win games you hear about. Developer greed has hit an all new low. This game is PAY TO PLAY. You literally cannot advance in the game unless you spend money. There are pay walls everywhere in the game. Yes, a talented player can bypass some of them, but as you level up there are just more and more of them. And those players willing to drop thousands of dollars for a single level upgrade will just destroy you. The entire game is designed to take your money. You will think initially it is not so bad and what you bought seems useful. It is not unless you continue to spend and spend in ever increasing amounts. If you are naive like me and contact support they will tell you they didn’t intend for it to be like this, but let’s face it, the game wouldn’t be here if they didn’t want it like this. So very sad as I was looking forward to a good space game.

Don’t play with this game. I bought 2-3 packs at first but it's not enough. too many players are overpowered and it is impossible to mining without destroying our ships. even when one has tried hard enough to collect enough minerals, refining gives very little result. being able to improve the strength of a ship is an almost impossible task. the most frustrating is that it increases the addiction to this game because we hope that it will work. do not play this game anymore

Shameful use of Star Trek name. Gene Roddenberry would be so saddened by this game which only supports bullying and stealing to advance. The pay to play is off the rails. Insanely shameful to star trek principles. Do not download and do NOT pay to play!!!!

Fun, but has little to do with Trek. I enjoy this game, but if you’re looking for a real Star Trek experience, I would look elsewhere. Like other real-time strategy games, you build up assets and supplies, search for resources, and build a little empire of your own. There’s an emphasis on mining, base building, and combat. Unfortunately this is not what Star Trek is about. There is no exploration, there are no recognizable ships to fly, and you’re an “independent,” whatever that means. You’re not a member of the Federation, the Klingons, or Romulans or any other faction (you can eventually join one, but it takes weeks of play before you get there). It’s set in the kelvin timeline (aka the J.J. Abrams storyline), and most of the recognizable characters are from there. You have a few TNG characters thrown in, but there are literally 10 TV series’ and 10 other movies you can pick characters from, not counting Short Treks and the upcoming Strange New Worlds. Where’s the exploration? Where’s the mystery? Where’s the new life and new civilizations? It’s all missing from this game.

Pretty obviously pay to play. If you can find an alliance that is fun to play with the game can stay enjoyable for a bit but progressing in the game it is extremely slow if you don’t put up cash. I’m willing to spend a little bit on a game $5-$10 dollars a month but with this game after you buy the $5 pack it’s gone and you can only spent $25-$99 after that which is why I won’t spend anymore on this game. If I felt like the money went to improving the game server I’d consider spending more but I just feel as tho they want to drain as much cash as they can from players willing to pay before the server is dead. During an event they had a pack containing parts for a jellyfish ship.. you could buy 25 parts or 75 parts. You need 75 to complete the ship, you can supposedly get the ship without paying but from what I can tell is you end up needing 26 parts to complete the jellyfish effectively meaning no matter what you need to buy the larger pack or risk ending up 1 part short for the remainder of the game. Between the time required to put in to be a F2P player and the fact any low cost buyable upgrades disappear after one purchase leads me to believe this game was designed as part of a ferengi plot to steal wealth.

Tough grind until a pay to play ceiling.. I have been playing this game for about 12 months now. The game is super glitchy. I can deal with this but overall the game is just too lopsided at this point. Once you reach about level 25, the resources required to upgrade are unobtainable. This has been amplified since resource awards (uncommon refined materials) have become more and more scarce. It all might be doable if significantly higher level players where not just pillaging all your resources by attacking your station. You either have to be logged in to the game all the time (push notification does not work well, another glitch) or permanently live under a peace shield. The peace shield means you can’t really mine new resources since these resources are all occupied by other players and attacking someone cancels your peace shield. For the most part, you will also have to buy these shields as they are not awarded in usefully amount. So really you are forced to pay for most things eventually. The game has potential and is fun but you will spend a lot of time building up to an inevitable ceiling where you either pay to keep up or really move on and write off the time you spent.

Great game but the bugs, frequent crashes and paywall make 5* game a 2* experience. I have enjoyed playing up to level 17 thus far, but it is clear that the paywall ships create imbalance to a fault. The game crashes every 5-10 minutes on IOS with an iPad Pro. Interface bugs abound as well that require a restart of the application to resolve. I have played heavily for a few weeks now as the game is very entertaining when the aforementioned issues aren't ruining the experience. Cash appears to be king in this game and those that spend it gain an edge that the casual gamer cannot compete with. I have not seen any bug fixes or stability improvements since I started playing, if anything the crashes have gotten worse. The storyline quests are the most entertaining part of the game, but they are too sparse to get you from level to level. The requirement of "uncommon", which should be read RARE, materials to upgrade ships and outpost buildings results in yet another paywall delay. Hoping they resolve the game balance problems and fix the bugs or they will start bleeding players. I have spent no cash on the game, nor will I until I see a real effort to address these problems. I have my fingers crossed...

Fun for a while.. I’ve played this game for quite some time and in the beginning, it's fun and challenging. It's fairly fast-paced moving through the levels and acquiring new ships and advancing the crews of those ships. Then you hit what I call the pay to play levels. This seems to be around levels 23 to 24. You have to have large amounts of resources to do anything and if you haven't spent cash the people that have will take almost everything from you. It takes days to upgrade your station and ships so unless you can afford to buy peace shields to stay in a constant bubble the people with large bank accounts will take everything from you. I have push notifications turned on but don't get alerted that my station is under attack until well after everything has been taken. The developers constantly promise this will be fixed...it never has been. I have a theory that people that spend big bucks get freebee attacks on players that don't spend much. This is just a theory but seems odd that after I paid for an upgraded ship I received alerts immediately upon being attacked. Since I haven't bought anything recently I don't get notified until I'm cleaned out. Enjoy the game, it's fun for a while.

Pay2win and bugs. Pretty obvious pay to win, it is quite apparent in those 100% damage improvement techs that takes 300k of resources normal chests give you 20 per chest. Normal techs give you 1% (on important stats such as damage) to 20% (on unimportant stats such as storage cap). Such techs take about 1/5 of your tech tree. Also the game is a time sink designed to grab your attention every 5 minutes, so not really for anyone holding a job. There is also an “ADMIN” account flooding ads every day on public chat to a fishy site promising in-game cash for apps which require membership at $14 per month. Sincerely hope that is not related to the developer. The game has data consistency issues, often you see critters that aren’t there, or mines that no longer are. Game occasionally freezes and instead of taking an empty mine you are suddenly attacking a guy twice your score. Your alliance mates giving you help is a nice idea, however since I often have to restart the game to get their requests I doubt many saw your call for help. The developer updates seem to be focusing on adding stuff. I expect things to get really cutthroat after you reach level 10 and becomes pvp-prone, which is likely when I send them a letter to delete my account.

Glitchy. I have played this game for a year and a half. This by far the glitchiest game I have ever played. You have to constantly refresh app to get it to work right. Sometimes just shuts down on its own. I am not going to describe the other hundred glitches( no exaggeration). It is a pay to win game. They try to deny it but it is. A free player will have hard time competing with a $50 month player and almost no chance with a $100 month or higher player of same lvl. Not to mention the pvp lvl range is way to large. The packs to buy are very expensive for what little you get. Not to mention they are selective about what they offer you. I bought a $50 pack and then they took away the option (forever) to buy the $20. And you have to spend a certain amount to even get the option of the good ones. Now to gameplay. Be prepared to set alarms. Whether it be for flash events, to make sure your miner does not go zero or opl. Your miners will get hit so keep your notifications on. You will have to spend considerable amount of time in game just to keep up. Less so if you spend more money. They add new stuff every 3 months and always that includes new bugs. The newest one is pvp based so if you don’t spend money it will be hard to advance.

Paywall too high to climb. This game has a lot of promise but it’s already off to a rough start: multiple $99 boost packs that are basically required to even progress to lvl20? You have some players pushing ships that are already 4-8x as powerful as free2play setups in the same time since launch. I get that this is a licensed game so it’s gonna have a higher cost to develop and maintain but compared to other licensed properties like Star Wars GOH or even the new Red Alert the cost in this game is off the charts. Some whales are dropping >$1,000 to try and claim that too spot. In a PVP heavy game that kills the vibe pretty fast. The bugs are understandable but annoying, I suspect bug smashing vs feature vs content balance is a daily discussion with the dev and probably will be for a while when the revenue starts to wane because of frustration. Pacing in the game is very uneven; gotta keep those smaller incremental upgrades either worth the 18-40 hour waits or lower the cost to accelerate. They’d do better milking 25-40 a month from folks vs trying to grab $150+ in the first 2 weeks. May stick around for the first big feature enhancement but doubtful beyond that, just too expensive even for a fairly pretty game.

Waste of time. Any Trek game has potential in my mind, but this...game...is a complete waste of time. It’s just like every other building game I’ve played, super boring. Add in a mmo experience and the game is completely useless, as higher powered players will seek you and destroy your ships. I would be willing to pay for a game that is worth it, but this game is trash, it looks good, but the play is just like every other game designed to drain your wallet to advance further. I’m also unhappy that this game only contains the “alternate reality” characters, but I guess that’s what you get when you gear the game to be for kids who spend their parents money on these trash games, instead of actually making a game that is worth spending my own money on. This behavior from developers is what has driven me away from gaming. I was a hardcore gamer before “pay to advance” became a thing. I miss playing games where you actually have to be more skilled than your opponent, not just have spent more money in-game. By doing this you’re pigeon-holing yourself into a certain client base, instead of making a mobile game most people would enjoy, and be willing to spend $10 - 20. You cater to a much narrower margin who are willing to spend >$50, that’s just bad business, and it’s ignorant

Fun til you hit the wall. So I will start out by saying that this game can become very addicting at first, but soon you can’t help but notice how unbalanced the game is. My biggest gripe has to be with the uncommon ore drops. I have mined consistently for 5 days, a task that is incredibly difficult as players consistently attack you for both your node or in most cases, just for fun. I spent 15K in G2 raw gas and got 5 uncommon. Like seriously? It would take me several months at this rate before I could fully tier up the ship. As far as it being a pay-to-play scenario, I get it. I actually have dropped some cash into this game, but at the stage I’m at there really isn’t a pack that works for my needs. I need uncommon refined ore, but the reasonably priced one ($20) will only give 100 (the ship needs 200+ for just one compliment upgrade). The missions were also fun at the beginning, but right after level 15-16 there’s such a significant jump in power of the opposing ships it’s impossible for you to win. You’d have to upgrade your ship, but as I mentioned above, this could take months. I think I’ll continue to casually play until I burn through all the resources I’ve bought, but I certainly won’t be spending any more money on the game.

I deleted app but still hate it.. It all started when I started the game. It’s a fun game but do not, I repeat, do not let anyone take leadership unless you are fully certain because their help desk will not help you. I had created my own alliance when I first started, it was going well and great, even chatting, making friends. Then this goon, who was about a million power, I gave leadership to as we switched it every week. This goon did not talk once, nor did he ever discover his own Alliance chat, as we were trying to tell him for weeks to switch leadership back. I told the developers and what did they do, told Me to “call him, message him, email him, and do whatever it takes to get ahold of him and tell Him to switch the alliance leadership back over to someone else.” That’s it, they said they cannot do a thing and blah blah blah. Such bull crap, I stopped playing game months ago. Only was a week or so into it as this happened. War and Peace is keeping me busy and way more fun. The fact that they couldn’t help or refused to help the founder of an alliance get back his own alliance, that’s just stupid. So you lost me forever and definitely “will proudly stop going where barely any men have gone before”. Good luck with this crap. And the devs still won’t answer me......

Worst Example of a few thugs ruining a beautiful game.. I can tell you why the stock price of this game plummeted. A small handfull of thuggish players have claimed all of the universe as theirs and won't allow for any player to play a peaceful game doing the developers' in-game missions. The developers are not making correction (putting the thugs on a different server so they can play their game while others play theirs) When you start, if your're able, you want to spend money to have the beautiful ships and abilities to fly them to defeat the computer hostiles, make trekkie friends and happily geek out. However, you Can't get the ships or to the destinations of the missions if the resources you have paid for are continually stolen by real people. I wound up an admiral of a fleet of peacefuls whose psyches have actually been harmed by these idiots. Star Trek fun geekiness is totally absent on this, one of several servers, my people have been assigned to. In particular, FireGryphon, claims he started all the fleets and all the thugs are loyal to him. He calls for other players to hit peaceful players and wipes out their resources which he gets to keep. It might as well be a 3rd party shooter game where you are virtually his target. If you want to pay money to be threatened and abused this is the game for you. OMG. THIS IS NOT A FAMILY FRIENDLY GAME.

Slow and steady. There is a lot to do in this game, in fact there is so much to do and accomplish you want to advance as fast as possible so you don’t miss out on anything, don’t worry, you won’t. The game wants to push you along at a rather fast pace, don’t do it. You will accomplish more by complete each level before advancing to the next. Complete the level your are on: on level 8 or 14 or 24 or 32, does not matter. Complete ever single activity that is possible to complete tagged with your level before going to the next. Make sure all the buildings are at your level, you have completed all the research possible and completed all the missions assigned to your level. You will notice that you are stronger and more powerful than many of those who have already obtained to the next level at warp speed. Slow and steady winds the day. It will take you a day or two longer but you won’t have to stop and go back and accomplish a task you should have performed at a lower level, it’s a game, just have fun.

Incompetent cash grab. I've been playing this game for several years and have made friends in it. But I'm close to quitting completely because of the way that the developer consistently deploys untested updates and story arcs: I've simply gotten used to the game crashing every 10 minutes, getting bullied by people who spend THOUSANDS of dollars a month that delight in annoying free to play players, entire currencies that get launched for a while and then randomly abandoned...all of the Discord channels are full of (mostly justified) complaints about how messed up this game is. And Scopely is ASTONISHINGLY unresponsive to widespread complaints. The regularity of new bugs occurring, and the fact that there is clearly no additional testing being done, makes it very clear that the developer doesn't care about their user base. If there were regular, sincere responses from them, or evidence that processes were changing, this would be a different story. But...it's just continual bugs and radio silence on the official channels. There are elements of gameplay that are genuinely fun, but all the other garbage has long since eclipsed those things and I've been the frog in the pot of water slowly coming to a boil...and now I think the water is just too darn hot for me.

Like it never had a Beta test.. I love this game. Excellent concept. That said, stay away from it until Scopey cleans it up. It has a habit of minimizing on an IPad and when you bring it back to full screen, it will completely reload. So forget about picking up where you left off once the boss leaves. There is a function called localization. It clears the cache of the game by clearing and restarting the game. You will use this a lot in a single session of play. You move from screen to screen fighting, building modules on a station, mining nodes, etc. Each time you do, there is a good chance that when you go to ships in space that all labels from ships, planets, computer enemy ships will not have any labels. And other player ships will be invisible. To fix it, localization. There are other issues but I think that is enough. I play, but I am angry and frustrated most of the time, hoping they will address these issues. The leader of my alliance has been playing for 2 or 3 years. me just a month or so. These issues have been in game that long and no fix. The team takes too many coffee breaks and not enough work here.

Pay to play. This isn’t a bad game and I’m really just complaining because I have no money being disabled. Ok the game is a combination of management/organization skills game with adventure/exploration as it’s gimmick. The trick is getting the crew powerful enough to power your ship (which ever you like the best). Some have obvious +, -. However in the end you will realize the need in the game is the largest ship you can get for a larger crew(power), storage(raiding), warp(distance between….) capacity. Also there are cheats/advantages with certain crew skills to affect said areas. Know this there are timers for everything and that is where the pay to play starts your time. So you start with one slot for base upgrades, one slot for ship/base skills/improvements. You can buy more slots for each basically doubling your timer speeds. This works well, not going to lie. But you must understand it takes time fighting other players/computer/game trials/tutorials for you to level up your people/crews so if this is understood at the beginning this can be a great game. Lots of team support, advice some good/bad. Takes all kinds to make this game work, do you have what it takes. Jacapo with team Borg.

Prepare to get bullied. I started playing this game over a year ago. I was on server 18. I quickly noticed some of the alliances with big spenders dominating every event in the game. Even going as far as taking out your ships during the event to insure their victory. Then cam the alliance rivalries. Top alliances would prevent other players from the simplest things such as mining materials to complete your daily events. I was a level 30 player and spent over $400 dollars in an attempt to become somewhat competitive but it didn’t help at all. I was left with a choice, spend hundreds of not thousands of dollars just to make basic upgrades or leave the game behind. Scoeplay came up with the perfect game to boost their profits. They made over &200 Million on this game over a year ago. Who knows what that figure is today. I have so many other things that are more tangible to me that I can spend my money on so I decided to leave this game behind. I did have some fun playing this game, ok graphics, lots of things to do, never a boring moment. My advice, if you’re single with lots of money and time to waist, this game is for you. I can’t speak for the other servers but if you do decide to play, stay away from server 18

Fun but a buggy mess. While the gameplay is fun and addicting, it’s still a hot mess too far in. The bugs come hot and fast and the devs seem unable to permanently fix them when they don’t just write them off. I have contacted them several times and they only resolved one issue completely. On another known issue, false battle reports, they refused to even acknowledge the problem despite evidence I submitted. It’s getting to the point that submitting tickets to customer service is pointless. And this also doesn’t address the fact that there is significant pay to win. The pay packages are pretty outrageously overpriced and escalate with each purchase. They give significant advantage considering the fact that the game is unbalanced. Small differentials of power can result in colossal defeat, so even minor fluctuations from packages can severely tilt results. The power differential is also significant because it means that powerful players can’t even be zerged to balance out their op stats and they can act with impunity. It’s almost impossible to catch players ahead of you without paying, so they can indefinitely ream you. TLDR: great concept but extremely buggy and imbalanced to the point you have to pay to win to survive if you started late.

Broken mechanics, too many bugs, not that fun. I have spent several weeks playing but am giving up in frustration at this point. Love Star Trek and the game has some promise but there are too many flaws. The core mechanics of the game reward players who are ahead on the power curve at the expense of those starting out. While some of that is understandable, the extent to which you can be attacked, kept from advancing, and have what resources you do manage to accumulate stolen goes too far. Add to that many glitches, bugs and performance issues which constantly distract players and prevent success in objectives, and you have additional problems. Finally - when things are working and you don’t have other players preying on you, the game commits the worst sin of all. It just is not that fun. A lot of hurry up and wait, and lot of repetitive missions with thin stories, and not a lot to do other than click, wait, check in three hours later. You can mitigate this to some extent by spending money - and I actually do not mind investing in a game to have more fun. However, the amount it takes here is beyond reasonable and could easily run to hundreds of dollars. Just is not worth my time or funds. Too bad.

Greed ruined a great game. I really loved playing this game. Great stories, nearly unlimited pathways to play, but, the one thing is the developers are filthy greedy animals. They design a fantastic game and then make it so you have to dump in tons of cash to get the resources(latinum) need to survive saying nothing about playing. You need latinum for EVERYTHING. The games paltry trickle of latinum isn’t enough for any one thing you might use it for so you have to buy it. My advice is DONT PLAY IT. If enough people boycott the game maybe they will adjust the game in the next update. I know I’m done with this money pit. Just because it says Star Trek doesn’t mean we are stupid enough to throw money at it. To top it off it’s full of greedy lazy chicken crap animals that steal everything you work so hard for and spend so much time on getting when you are not around. Totally destroyed the fun and morale of the game. I can’t emphasize strongly enough to NOT PLAY THIS GAME. It’s alluring at first but before you realize it you’ve spent $100 and are no better then level 18 out of 50 and still have to deal with thieves so not only is it money WASTED but money STOLEN soon after. Just because it says Star Trek doesn’t mean you have to be dumb enough to play it and waste money on. I give it less then zero stars.

4.5 has to be fake. Game written to frustrate you into paying real money to just survive. $50 gets you a ship that is unbeatable by levels 5 higher than you. Then after that has been out enough to annoy everyone, another ship for $50 that makes you stronger than that last $50 everyone spent. You can’t level without spending money. Missions require beating ships 100k+ higher than you and to upgrade you have to mine ore that you have refine for what you need. This part take 9 hours and is you’re lucky you might get 5 of the 500 you need. I’ve been trying to upgrade for 3 months and only have 43 out of the 500 needed. This doesn’t count your miners getting killed by the people who paid $50 or more and just harass everyone. Then to top that, guess what you need to make repairs, that’s right just what you been trying to gather for the upgrade. Everything cost far more than can be collected without spending real money. As a Star Trek fan I feel this is damaging the franchise. This should be called GRIEFWARE and there should be a warning that you need to spend cash to play. As a person with a bad heart requiring a machine to live, I don’t have time to waste with this garbage and limited as to what I can do for entertainment. Taking advantage of people is pathetic.

Live long and Prosper. So, I ran until around level 18 on my first account. Lost my login- just jumped back in- now back to 18. Just read some of the displeased reviews and I get the displeasure- but to those debating in installing due to negative remarks: install it. There are plenty of us living in quite peaceful star systems, with loyal and broad alliances, sister alliances and friendly alliances. It can get ugly, especially when cross-alliance spies get involved, but hey that’s where it get real fun and involved. I can imaging there’s people dropping insane loot, and that the people spending tons are brutal: I’ve run into them. Like a level 16 guy, with a 50k jelly fish that just dominated my survey ships for a week straight with back to back attacks, not letting me get resources, all because I hit his Over Protected Cargo Miner on a Zero Mining Node; but that shouldn’t hold people back, adapt. And for those at high levels, keep pushing, you’ll get higher, all the better when you get what you wanted all along. I use other games as an in between when I run out of speed ups and latinum. Great game.

Pay to win and super glitchy. I really enjoyed the game at the very beginning, but that hasn’t maintained. The game is EXTREMELY glitchy and support is a COMPLETE JOKE. I can’t tell you how many messages I’ve sent that were either outrightly ignored or giving cookie cutter BS answers and NO effort at all has been made to compensate players for ships lost for no reason and all the resources it costs to repair them. Support loves the reply of clear local cache to take care of glitches, but I’ve yet to see that do anything to help with any of the many many glitches that infest the game. Having to constantly log out and back in and restart phone sometimes helps, but only sometimes and while you are doing that the game runs on and you are again having ships destroyed that support doesn’t seem to care remotely about. On top of all the glitches is the fact that the game is skewed HARD in the PAY to WIN direction and really pay just to play if you want to be even remotely competitive. The packs are expensive and will really only give you a little boost so that you have to purchase multiple packs to stand any chance or make much progress. I’ve gone from really excited and happy to fairly well disgusted with developers and most certainly with support.

Very disappointing, buggy and unbalanced play. I’ve been playing Star Fleet for about 6 weeks now and have spent a couple thousand so far. The graphics are great, that’s the only reason I’m giving it 2 stars. The application crashes repeatedly throughout the day at different times. The biggest thing that disappoints me is the unbalanced power play, I’m level 26 but I can’t attack anything below level 21, however level 39 players (Big Fish) can attack me at level 26, totally unfair. Scopely customer support tells me they’ll have check why the protection doesn’t work the other way around. Clearly they need to keep the Big Fish happy and give them something easy to blow up. Only problem is they should realize players who don’t mind paying to play are gonna walk away once they realize this. I might suggest Scopely create an item that growing mid-size fish can buy or win that if they load it on their ships will destroy the Big Fish ship also, it would create more balance and make Big Fish think twice is it worth an useless attack cause they might become a victim themselves, I’d get a lot of pleasure killing off brainless Big Fish and spend more. No more spending until Scopely makes things fair for everyone.

Fun game but ultimately a pay to play. This is a really fun game for the first few months when players who spend a LOT of money can not yet attack you. The resources needed to up grade most ships past tier 2 becomes overwhelming where you have to play everyday. After the 6 month mark if you are not spending money about once a week it is impossible to keep up with the other players. Just for reference on how ridiculous the price are for in game purchase they range from $20 $50 and $100. The $20 package will help you for a day or 2 but by then you have blown through anything you got from that package due to the cost to upgrade anything. They also have a bad set up for which level players can attack lower level players. There is a cut off and they have a chart that breaks it down. But basically they allow high level strong player who spend a lot of money to attack players up to 15levels lower than them. So really there is no point in having this system as it still allows strong players to attack players at a level that they have no chance to defend themselves. Game is not worth the time after a few months

Solid foundation that comes up Waaaay Short. This game could be great, the could be is the problem. I have played many video games over my life and this isn’t even a beta version....it’s worse. There are far too many glitches, errors, coding problems to go over in just one review. The main problem I have is that the developer doesn’t care about the issues because people are forking over millions every month to play an incomplete mobile game. They are stealing from players (the developer) as well. Try and instant repair one of your ships, that will cost you 19 additional in game currency than what is communicated to players, basically pocketing that currency each time short changing the player. The developer is only out to sell packs and get people to pay to win. You can grind in this game quite successfully but when the game breaks and you can’t get around having to pay it makes it not fun any more. I also wish the PvP parts actually worked, you don’t get notified when your base is under attack and you hardly ever have the opportunity to defend yourself. Lots of potential here but no follow through from developer. Do not download this game if you don’t have time to grind, grind, and grind some more every day.

Help. Hey Devs! I am a mediocre Star Trek fan and love the game and all the characters from the past you can obtain. Despite my relentless creed to share my ideas with you, I come to you to seek help. A few days ago, I experienced my game crashed. Normal, shouldn’t have been a problem, just leave the game and come back. This didn’t occur too often but it kept happening. When I woke up this morning, I could not access the game for more than five seconds after logging in because the game kept crashing. I don’t know what the issue is, the game build timing out, not enough iCloud storage, or poor internet connection, but it won’t stop. Please figure this problem out quickly, I don’t want to lose the only MMO/RPG game with an awesome system and great campaign and storyline to it, there have been so many I played but none surpass this. I call to you with a plea to help fix this problem before something happens that I can’t stop it or prevent it from happening! The game is awesome and I love it almost to death. Please find the issue soon!

Fun game but f2p ruined it. I played this game when it first came out. It was fun and the price model seemed ok. Everything was $5. After I bought one pack it disappeared and was replaced with a $10 pack, for some of my friends, they made $100 purchases and realized that they were stuck with $100 packs. The game was well balanced until the Jellyfish pack came out. That’s when the game went downhill. For the players that bought it, they quickly became the top players and completely stopped the progress of those who didn’t. I continued to play for a couple of months hoping that the bugs would get fixed and the game would be more balanced. By the time the bugs got fixed, all of the players who dropped money on the jellyfish pack now had the higher tier ships. I stopped playing for 2 months and came back to it and it was completely unplayable. I could only mine for a few minutes before getting attacked. Ended up spending more in repairs on my best ships than what I made in resources. You are only limited on who you can hit rather than by ship strength, so yes the developers are right when they say the game gets more difficult but they fail to mention that the difficulty is exponential.

Broken game mechanic enables harassment. I’d like to address that after playing with someone who became real life abusive to myself and several others, harassing in the game and on other connected platforms, I’ve tried blocking the perpetrator, changing game name and group name. However, the perpetrator used the blocked player feature (the same one intended to limit contact) to track me and people I play with to continue harassment. The ability to mark and track players wherever in the game benefits someone who can harass versus the victim trying to limit/avoid interaction. Scopely’s Terms of Use agreement clearly states cheating in game and harassment will be dealt with. I have sent over 40 screenshots regarding abusive dialogue to myself and others. I’m in my third time of filing a harassment complaint against the same perpetrator with Scopely. I get told “if there’s harassment, cheating, racism, etc...” after submitting a claim. There is little support, most times taking 4 hours for a reply from support. If they didn’t already shut down, the next bit of dialogue will be from someone else, and then claim is closed. Don’t play this game. Bugs, lack of support, claims of harassment not taken seriously, game mechanics that enable continued harassment... could go on. Don’t waste money on this game.

Great Game, Great format. I am really enjoying this game. It is very interactive and extremely entertaining. The alliance cooperation is great and the stories are very interesting. It does offer great temptation to spend money but you can level up and advance just fine while free to play if you are patient. Collecting characters, building and improving the station, and building ships offer constant ways to improve and work towards goals. Caution: will eat through mobile battery if playing on your phone. Would love to see a way to save crews for different objectives. For instance, a mining crew with all my surveying crew at the push of a button or a hostile hunting crew rather than having to select them one at a time. Also gathering uncommon materials is extremely slow going at times and would be nice if 3* mat refining came a level or two sooner. Or even having the ability to purchase what you want verses a large eclectic group of mats when I only need one kind. Overall I am very happy with the game and will continue to play it for the foreseeable future

Horrible customer service. Wow, just wow... I’ve played clash of clans and all of its spin offs, Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, and various other f2p with p2p capability, but never have I deal with such rude and horrible customer service. The game is full of bugs, yet they will put several bugged officers in a special pack and sell it to you without informing you that they don’t work. You will play in real time events that track “live” how many points each player has, and you will use credits that you’ve paid for to come in first, actually get 1st place, then go to collect your rewards and be told you actually got second place because of server lag and there’s nothing they will do about it to rectify the situation. I’m the admiral of the 3rd strongest alliance on our server, we have the highest spending player on the server, people have spent well over a combined $100k in our alliance alone, but they still haven’t fixed a bug since March that is preventing us from filling our alliance to capacity, a capacity that we have expanded with resources that were purchased with real $$$$$. They don’t care. They take your money, then they don’t stand behind the product. The game has so much potential and can be a lot of fun, but at this rate Scopely will end up with a class action lawsuit.

Not quite a Final Frontier. The game in itself is is a great concept and develops with familiar missions and characters. You can develop your ships and fleet as you progress. My biggest criticism, that caused me to leave the game a year ago, was that it gears itself to fast promotion to those who will spend $$$ and advance quickly. Sadly, this causes you to spend most of your resources in the Starbase repairing you ship as opposed to preparing for missions and challenges. THAT IS INCREDIBLY frustrating. Developers need to find a to limit those “Whalers” who spend, spend, spend and can attack developing players ultimately leave due to what started out as a fun game to days of frustration. All in all, a good game. But something must be to limit the “Whalers” from purging up and coming players in the game. This week alone I have been hit multiple times by a player with 2M powered ships, simple while mining. To those of us who can not play 24/7 this greatly limits the experience and if it does not change I will leave the game….again! Sad, it is a good game.

Underwhelming. As games go, this one is fairly obvious as a cash grabber. Yes, you “can” play it without spending money; however, you won’t get far. Furthermore, they charge an absurd amount for their in-game purchases. The purchases don’t tend to go far and leave you feeling cheated. The culture within the game is also quite involved. There are alliances that you have to contend with. Your relationship with the big alliances can dictate whether the game is even playable. If you’re not in a big, high performing alliance then it’s not likely that you will ever win in the alliance challenges. The winners of those awards win big while everyone else, usually even second prize down, get next to nothing. Overall, the game is a HUGE time commitment and will likely have you spending far more than you want to. I played this game for almost a year, got to lvl 28 and just realized that i was wasting far too much time and money without gaining any sense of reward or accomplishment. My recommendation: if you are looking for a game that requires a lot of time to play and actually progress in, then I recommend you try out a MMORPG like WoW. You’ll enjoy it more, pay less, and have a better time. If you want to play a casual, fun game that requires minimal time and attention then Star Trek Fleet Command is NOT for you.

Great community game. This isn’t just a game. It’s a galaxy where you will meet people and join alliances where you can make friends. Killing pirates, going to war with other alliances, compete in many events, and build your fleet to be strong. This is free to play, but many do buy packs to advance quicker. There are bugs like any game that can be frustrating at times, but Scopely works hard to fix them. Communication with Scopely and the public has improved significantly over the past few months helping to resolve issues, but they take in a lot of feedback and use it to improve the game dramatically. Warning though....STFC is addictive and many play daily. Overall I give 5 stars because of the community and the will to do better. When you join a good alliance with active players you do succeed and grow much faster. Plenty of advice out there as well. Trek Talk podcast is a great resource and is fun to be involved in as well so I recommend listening to it and get involved in Discord.

Okay. I wanted to wait until level 10 to leave a review (the level where your ships can be attacked by other players). The game starts out to actually be a lot of fun. You don’t have to worry about energy refills or any other time limits other than travel (and even then, travel speeds are quick). They offer base building, researching, upgrading ships, officers and many other aspects. However, everything falls on its face when you hit the levels of being attacked. A lot like GoW and other bass building games, constantly being attached ruins the game completely. If you don’t have the ability to watch your ships at all times, then the game is pointless. I’ve sent a ship out 3 times since hitting 3 lvl 10 to collect resources and all 3 times the ship has been destroyed because I wasn’t able to monitor it. I know my review doesn’t count for much considering how many good reviews it has, I just wish games gave the ability to have a strictly PvE aspect. This would absolutely be a 5 star game. It’s just impossible to be on at all times to monitor ships and don’t see the ability to make progress without spending money. I would be more inclined to spend money in a more PvE oriented game.

Safe- for now. So far it’s a good game with minimum pay to win and lots of things to do, but only because it’s been out for a day and everyone is the same rank and stuff and there’s nothing TOO pay to win (at the moment at least, considering this is a Scopely game.) And i’ve lost faith in Scopely as they are extremely unresponsive and have been censoring me on their forums and ignoring my emails. I’m serious i have proof. BUT this game seems pretty good for a start but i guarantee they’re going to be rolling out $50 loot crates anytime now. Character rarity is 3 star max and so are ships but you can guarantee when you max them out next week they’ll release 4 stars that completely shadow your characters. Did i mention when you roll a loot box you don’t get the character, you get fragments, and to get say, spock or kirk, you need 100, and with about 3 fragments per pull, well, have fun buddy. did i also mention the chances of getting the fragments are 5%? Yup you read that right. But, i digress, it is pretty good right now but again that’s only because they don’t have much of a pay to win aspect, YET. I’m just glad they can’t censor my review on apple store! *UPDATE* Not even a month since the games been released and they’re already selling a virtual ship for $50 that’s rarer and more powerful than any ship until you hit 3* ships! Don’t bother!

Fed up. It’s a game for whales only. I’ve played this game since it game out. And it was fun as a new player. You can grow and progress. Once you hit lvl 30 the game tanks. Unless you want to pay, a lot, you won’t go anywhere. If you want to grind away, you need to put hours into it a day to meet daily rewards and events. There are 50 different in game materials/resources/currencies/ and the likes. A lvl 49 whale that is 5 times your size can hit you and make your game play pointless. All in app purchases are 100 dollar packs, with an occasional 50, and one 20dollar battle pass every few weeks. Now they offer a “treasury” but once you do the daily requirements to earn the reward, you have to PAY FOR THE KEY! - this game has zero fun to it once you get into the mid 30 and higher. I am stuck with ship upgrades that will need 2000 Uncommon materials, with refining twice a day, I am lucky to get 10UC, so ONE upgrade on one ship can take 200 days if you don’t pay for it. But you need to do 6 upgrades to lvl the ship, you need to also account for the upgrades to the station and other ships that also need the uncommon material. What a joke. This game is designed to force you to pay or leave at a certain point. Too bad, it was fun at first.

Good Game Over All. There are a lot of very negative reviews out there about the game. I have been playing now for several months and have enjoyed the game. Yes there are some issues but the developers are always working to improve the game play for everyone. Yes you can spend a lot of money on this game but you don’t have to there are a lot of free to play players out there. The main issue is just like with any game it’s slow going if you as they say grinding it out it will take awhile but it’s possible. The developers just added additional content and are continually striving to fix in game issues and make the game interesting and fun to play. This is the only game I have found where the developers are sending out surveys to players to help them find areas players don’t like, areas to improve or new content to add. It’s free to play so why not try it. Most of us on here are just Trekies who love Star Trek and look to play a Star Trek game. I think the game graphics are really amazing and the developers have spent some time making everything look as good as it does.

Full Stop !. This game started out pretty good and was some what fun to play. After a couple weeks though, if you don’t throw money at it your all done competing. You need to mine crystals to advance and that part is free. How ever unless your willing to baby sit while mining for hours and hours at a time, someone always comes along and I mean always and takes out your mining ship making it all worth nothing. The people who created this game push rite away for you to join an alliance. After playing this for a few weeks now I don’t understand why. As far as I can see there is no benefit to joining an alliance. As there is no sharing of resources and no backing each other in times of attacks. On the positive side, the game is some what generous with daily gifts. I’ve noticed that I get gold in small amounts almost daily. If your a patient person I suppose this could ad up over time. Hopefully the team driving this game will come up with some better ideas on how to keep people interested in staying involved. After level 10 ish things slow rite down. Make no mistake, if your to advance to a competitive level you will need to drop money consistently.

Great Concept.. I have to say this game was very fun and entertaining. I am not a huge pvper but I will pay if I think the game has potential. This one does, however if you start as a new player, do not level any higher than level 20 or so. I have leveled up to 25 pretty quickly and am now bored during the server events. Pretty much just set back and watch. Even though I am really more interested in the story lines it would be nice to be able to help the alliance in some of the events. Another issues with leveling is that after level 25 you now need very specific grade 3 ore/gas/crystal to level buildings or do research. There is no real way to get them other than the refinery. Unfortunately it only yields 1 or 2 every 9 hours if you are lucky. And you need in the hundreds for everything. So now that I have hit level 25 I don’t see me spending much time on the game as it seems a waste at this point. It seems a lot of larger players have stopped playing also. So it is a great game and may be awesome if the developer actually figure out how to balance it regardless of level...

Glitches and Ships. I rated this app at a two of five stars because for being a fully released app it still has a ton of glitches and they don’t seem to be disappearing or even trying to fix them with some having gone on for weeks or multiple events with the reoccurring complete mission and showing the rewards over and over again without actually giving you the reward again, if that was the case I wouldn’t mind... but seeing it every time I re-enter the game is just annoying. Then whenever I send a moving ship into warp I can’t even see the ship once I clip warp with the countdown timing off for the engines warming up. This would be helpful for the quick escapes to be able to see if I am going to or not... then there is the stupid jellyfish ship that at first seems like of I’ll have this in a week or month and wait, I can’t seem to find them anymore... of you are telling me there was a buying event where people had to pay $50 for the ship or they would never get it? That’s crazy! Also missions are far from a continuous thing... I can’t even seem to find a mission to complete anymore that’s within a reasonable level range. Without me paying $50 to jump a level or two and try then...

Scopelyed once again. This can be a great game but once again they scopleyed it with latest arc. Yes, Scopely’s name is becoming synonymous with epic failure. They released the newest arc with many failures and pulled the game for many hours. Many players lost out on rewards which they tried to compensate. Then a feature in the game for one of their characters for almost four years was useful in defeating a new mechanic and they pulled it. If you don’t know your game and won’t get feedback from the players then live with the consequences. This misstep with Gaila. Related more alliance interaction than I have seen while playing the game. Players were involved and learning about the mechanics and free to play players were able to participate early on and be effective. You pulled it and destroyed all that in one “fail” swoop. You hand great unintended consequences and people were buying armada directives but you were so short sighted and greedy and didn’t want your new officers not to be bought. Epic failure on your part. Not to mention syndicate xp not working toward event today, territorybbiffs jot working, mantis stings not working yet you focuse on on officer in the game who has been around for years. Shame

Great but..... I feel this game is trying to be like 2 different games at once I feel like it’s trying to be a Star Trek rpg and than trying to be a clash of clans styled base builder which isn’t a bad thing I jus feel it tends to not blend in well but my major issue is where are all the characters can we at least get some TNG ones in here I don’t mind new age TOS characters but come one there is so much In the Star Trek universe like what about discovery characters you know I feel it doesn’t have enough content but at the same time has enough to keep you going point is if you live Star Trek your going to like this game so far everyone has there own pet peeve about this game mine is mainly not enough content and sometimes to many things happening on screen cuz it’s trying to be sorry not 2 but 3 types of games clash of clans, world war rising and Star Trek all at once idk maybe I was expecting a more chill vibe but got a more action vibe which is fine I know it seems like I have been ranting but it’s a really great game DOWNLOAD IT TODAY!!!! The developers are excellent at responding to there reviews!!!!

I wanted to but can’t with this game. I’m a lite player, I’m not on very often and I like to play as needed. This game is not that. Especially when you get to the level you can be attacked. I don’t have the time or energy to keep shield on, waking up all hours of the night. Then when you do get attacked as I did. I got hit 59 times in less than two hours. I was bled dry if all resources, no shield, nada. What sort of game is this that doesn’t help me get a little shield when I’m unavailable? Well they don’t. I have another friend who said he was hit 300 times by the same guy at once. The developers need to seriously rethink this. If you get attacked, even multiple times increase or add a freaking shield. Needless to say I probably won’t play anymore. I was begged to play, now I won’t. I have more entertaining games that protect me and my resources. Response to developer: yes you give us a shield but for how long? Still doesn’t help when you are bled dry in less than 2 hours and attacked 59 times. How long is that shield? 30 seconds? Hard pass. Listen to your players and read all the recent reviews complaining about the same things. Oh wait this is a cash grab game you don’t care about us lowly peasants. Good afternoon!

Game gets boring fast. I hit lvl 23 today... and am realizing how mundane this game is becoming. It’s nothing new, it won’t be anything new. At ops 50 then what? Same thing. It has no real purpose except spend a lot of money to get there before the next guy. Which I personally don’t mind spending money on app games but there has to be a genuine purpose; I.e. refilling energy or resetting dailies. This game just wants you to spend to get to the next brick wall. And let’s pause for a moment, the packs are not worth the price they’re asking for so few materials. They have to be the greediest dev I have ever encountered. Even worse than gameloft. They have a lot of issues that need to be changed. They need to lower the amount of rss used to upgrade. They need to increase the refinery awards and lower the cool down timer. They need to double the speed of mining. They need to lower the rss cost and time to repair. They need to make uncommon materials available to purchase with latinum. They need to move the recall button and also enable the ship to stop during warp in a system along the warp path. They need to have a help request button for when tiering up ships. Vaults need to protect more rss than they do. The events are cool though... sometimes.

Be careful what you pay for. Recently made a purchase based on what I was seeing available in a specific pack. I purchased the pack because it contained a specific item that I wanted. When the payment went through and I received the pack, I found out the the item that I purchased the pack for was not delivered. After spending several hours trying to get it resolved, I was finally told by customer service how to “find” or “earn” the item I am looking for by playing through the game as opposed to receiving what I “paid” for. I have also gone as far as sending a screenshot of what was showing in their store to prove what I was paying for. I have spent quite a bit on this game because I enjoy the game. There are several great aspects to it, but based on this experience, I am now quite reluctant to spend anything else. If you play this game, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Just be very careful what you pay for, because you might not get everything and from the looks of it, you may not be able to easily get your money back.

Truly Enjoy the game, but.... As my title indicates, this is a fun game. There are a lot of dimensions to the game that make it entertaining, such as the missions, various research paths, strengthening your station and ships. I also enjoy the real time chat with Alliance members and other players. However, there are some glitches such as mines that seem to be unavailable (spinning circle), ships on mines but they really aren’t there, and it might just be me but... it’s very easy to inadvertently send your ship somewhere and then it’s difficult to find where it went. A frustrating aspect of the game (no fault of the developers) is there are Alliances that simply enjoy destroying other players’ ships while mining (mining is an integral aspect of the game). Very often my ships will only be mining for a minute or two, and a player from specific Alliances will destroy me and others just because they can. Probably players who spent loads of money to get to the high level and strength. So there is a level of frustration in that sense. Maybe the developers can develop activities where collaborations, etc... vs pvp balance out the easier method of destroying other players ships and stations.

You are bully bait. A money pit. A facade of Star Trek.. First 10 levels are ok except you are stumbling around to try to learn the game. There is no tutorial. Some of the language in the speech does not keep with the Star Trek ideals. I joined an alliance, supported other players and contributed. But then you hit 10 and you become bully bait. The game is no fun as you send a ship on a long journey and put the game aside. You come back on commercial break and you have been destroyed by some jerk who isn't satisfied killing non-player targets. And reading these reviews, the game would have progressed to allowing other players to destroy your base! Don't waste your money. Live long and prosper was forgotten in this game. Turn on the TV and watch Star Trek old series, or the wonderful Discovery series. Left a message to my alliance members I was signing off permanently. Support is non-existant...never a reply and can't easily find the support chat or support email really. And to delete your data, they redirect to a hugely long privacy or terms page and hidden in their is the process to purge your data. Purposely hidden. Average game, at best, but with a Start Trek fascade. Definition of facade: "an outward appearance that is maintained to conceal a less pleasant or creditable reality". Describes this game perfectly.

Ruined by Poor Sportsmanship. Like others have said in their reviews, the game is good for the first 10 levels. The graphics are good and the gameplay engaging. But once you get past level 10 you can be attacked by other players. There’s seemingly no way for me to mine resources because 2-3 minutes into it, my ship is destroyed. So people that have been playing it for a while and have more powerful ships are ruining it for the new players. Poor sportsmanship, to be sure. But the developers should have built some sort of incentive in to the system to attack *only when it makes sense* instead of people just randomly for no reason destroying my ship (they don’t even get resources from me). So to attack someone else for no reason and without provocation should decrease their power, or lower their level, or pause their game for an hour for “diplomacy talks” or something. ANYTHING. So as others have reviewed, it’s great for a week. After that it pretty much blows because of what’s probably a few, immature, mean-spirited, thoughtless poor sports. (And if you’re wondering, you can tell just how immature and mean-spirited by watching the in-game chat for 2 minutes).

You will spend all your time repairing your ship. The game itself is fun at the beginning, following various story lines and running errands (though it would be nice to know who you will be working for before you accept a mission or a way to delete a mission you don’t want after you take it). After you get to a certain level though fairly soon into the game you will find you are spending all your real time and your in-game resources repairing your destroyed ships. A big part of the game is mining resources, but if you leave your ship somewhere for just a couple minutes someone who must have paid real money for a bigger stronger ship will come along and destroy your ship. Which then you need to repair for 10 to 30 minutes of real time depending on how strong your ship is. I do not normally spend real money on games but I did in this game for a resource pack and a crew pack because I was enjoying the game but now I have deleted the game. I was level 14 when I got fed up and at this level the game has you increased the defenses of your base. This tells me that players will be able to attack other bases once I had hit some level. Just what I want, to be spending all my time repairing my ships and my base.
