One of my favorite games ever
I love Star Trek, and this game is one of the best adaptations of the setting. The simplicity is the key: it's a straightforward Starcraft-like RTS, gather resources, deny them to the enemy, hit their base; that covers most of it, pretty much. But that simplicity makes it accessible and lets you focus on the story, which is pretty good. It's sort of a TNG/DS9 crossover, set in the aftermath of the Dominion War. Most of the actors returned for their roles and there is a lot of them; the voice acting work is generally great. The combat is amazing, in the context of Star Trek. Ships and bases have shields, hull, crew and sub-systems. As shields get hit, a bit of damage starts going through to the hull and systems and occasionally crew. Once the shields are down, the hull starts getting beat up, sub-systems can get disabled or completely destroyed and the crew starts dying. It lets you create some really neat, emergent, gameplay moments, where a ship loses shields, engines are dead, but the weapons work just long enough to blow up the enemy, and then the crew starts repairing stuff to get the ship moving, so they can limp back to the base. Boarding is also fun, and it follows the rules of ST: no transporting crew through raised shields. I absolutely love this game, and I recommend it to any Star Trek fan, especially if they have any interest in real time strategy games.
