I was a big fan of the first two Starfleet Command games but never bothered with this one at the time (I prefer the TOS film era, to TNG). However, this is a great addition to the series. Patrick Stewart narrates large sections of dialogue (The tutorial for example). The game is, like the previous entries in the series, a flawed gem. Some of the control issues remain and on a modern system, there are some issues with ship animations (can't see your ship at warp, for example) but these are minor. I nearly didn't purchase this because of the problems running it that others have had. I own SFC2 and can't get that to work any more, but I gave this a shot and it worked without any adjustment. So it's a risk/reward choice. Worth it, in my opinion but if you wouldn't be comfortable applying the hotfixes suggested by others, mayeb wait until the issue is confirmed to be fixed.
