I have no nostalgia for this game and bought it because it looked like a cool interesting/weird precursor to Euro Truck Simulator. It is indeed that, but honestly I found it much too clunky and awkward to go back to having played Euro/American truck simulator, it doesn't really explain what to do and the world feels drab and empty. Unless you're a historian or making a youtube essay on trucking games I'd say give this one a pass, save your money for a modern trucking game.
No wonder this game killed Star Trek games for 20 years, its the worst 'game' I've ever experienced. Unclear, cluttered, confusing, you won't be having any fun with this pile of garbage even if you get it to work. Doing literally anything in the game is awkward and time consuming, trying to arm weapons, turn the ship, and actually hit anything is boring and an exercise in frustration. I tried for half an hour to defeat a single ship and all we both did was amble around in a circle slowly draining our shields, but as the AI's ship shields recharged faster than I could damage them, it was basically impossible to do anything. My favourite Star Trek game is Bridge Commander, which I implore you to go and purchase/play instead of this pile of crap. With some mods its the best star trek experience you can get, leave this to rot, wish I could get my £8 back I'd have rather given it to something that mattered that supporting this nonsense. Awful awful awful!!!
