Time with product:

Strengths: This game has a lot of details in it, so it is like a game of chess in the ammount of moves you can do. From my experience, it is far better than Halo or Legacy.

Weaknesses: There are some really annoying bugs in it, like the ship dissapears from the shipyard as soon as you have enough prestige for it, lol!

Summary: I just wish the Access server were more reliable. It was crashing more and more, and now it's totally wrecked. I hope they can fix it soon so I can rejoin with Praetor Neral and the rest of the Tal Shiar Fleet members.

Strengths: Easy to use

Weaknesses: Wepons not strong enough

Summary: I think that this is a great game. The reasons for that are the prestege, the starships, the wepons, ect. I think that the only weakness is that the wepons are not strong enough. The wepons take forever to charge, and you cannot have starbase phasers. I would reccomend buying this product for the above reasons, and for some other reasons, but not for the complaints.

Strengths: Upgradability is excellentServer moders can add new shipsai are fully customizableyou can add new missions addictive if you like space based games

Weaknesses: Like any open ended games there are bugscan't add new weapon technologyserver admins can't control your connection(but who can?)

Summary: If you enjoy collectively playing combat senario games with other humans. This belongs on your pc. I am part of an online organization that is based on SFC3 and even has its own servers on Dynaverse 3 (multiplayer online campaigne). Its called 'AF ALLIANCE' our members are easily identified by the'AF' in front of there screen name. We have a command structure and a J.A.G. unit to keep gameplay fair and fun. I am the Judge Advocate General of the AF ALLIANCE. Hope to see you there....feel free to use me as a reference Captain AFIronWolf.

Strengths: the idea of the game and the things like the prestige rating is cool.

Weaknesses: almost everything. the turning is terrible. and the combat crap like the arc and having to wait hours to fire a single phaser or torpedo. the thing that sucked royaly was the stupid ship fights.

Summary: the idea of commanding ships and purchasing them is very cool, but the controls and game play realy needs to be improved. maybe if the game was like St bridge commander than it would be much better.

Rating: 10

Time with product: 4 Months

Strengths: Easy interface, excellent graphics, Excellent multiplayer game for up to 6 players

Weaknesses: Still has some bugs that need to be fixed in the next patch

Summary: After the first patch the races are almost perfectly balanced. Very addictive game if you like naval combat and space based games. Set in the TNG Star Trek universe it has the four main races, Borg, Federation, Klingon and Romulan. Many modded servers are now available with new ships. If you are a Trekker this game shold be in your computer.
