This has the potential to be a great game but it feels very lacking in content. It is a very streamlined and limted 4x game. The story is bland and gameplay is out of place. It attempts to be a single player MMO but it becomes a confused arcade 3rd person shooter. However, and I MUST EMPHASISE, this is a spiritual successor to Star Trek Legacy, and I would absolutely LOVE a star trek conversion mod. For AUS$40, is this game worth buying? I am unable to say no, but am unable to properly reccomend this game. IF... you liked Star Trek Legacy, you will like this game. The combat is very enjoyable. However, the diplomacy, skill trees, and construction/tech advancement is very basic and of Tablet App quality. You will be unimpressed and frustrated with the obstacle and time waste of poorly designed 4x features. Fingers crossed for game changing, massive, and free updates
