Star Trek Fleet Command for Negative User Reviews

✓ Developers need to careThis is a good game. It has the potential to be great, but the devs need to up their game for this to be the case. The game in and of itself is good. Build things, collect things, complete missions, get stronger, add PvP if you want to....lots of ways to progress and lots of choice which is nice. As always with big ticket games; the bigger your wallet, the better your experience. I don’t have a problem with this, it’s the way the game is monetised so be it. The problem for me comes with the care Scopely give to their player base and the game itself. It is beyond buggy. A lot of the bugs players experience and complain the most about are basics that should be picked up in testing. If there is something more left field that needs reporting, customer service is shocking at best. It simply seems that scopely don’t care and see this game simply as a cash cow. It could be so much better if the devs simply cared more.Morgster83Version: M53

✓ Great idea poor executionWhile the game idea is great and more fair than other games of its kind, it is very glitchy. Often having to restart. This I can live with. What is unacceptable is the news that the purchases made in game on the newer servers are not equal to the purchases on the older servers. Scope my seem to be milking as much as they can from players that just want a good deal and to have fun. There is a special place in Gre’Thor for them..Ragnor76767674Version: 9.8.1

✓ Great game but....This is a great game with lots of potential but after playing for months it is still glitchy. I have now deleted this game is sheer frustration, after having my mining ships mercilessly attacked by much higher players I got to level up my base only to then be attacked several times again by much higher players, the last attack was by the same person 3 times in 5 minutes the first to destroy defences and fleet then the second and third to strip all my hard mined and saved resources, I have played a lot of games like this and most of those give you the ability to repair and collect resources whilst under a 24hr shield post first attack, they also have tier systems where only players of the same rank may attack you, it might seem like a moan but I have read so many other players messages in chat and found that they have the same frustrations. Please fix this and I’ll gladly return. So disappointed in this game and the developers lack of listening to the players..Johno047Version: 1.7.4

✓ Don’t botherIf you are new to this game, then the developers (scopely) will love you. All is great until something goes wrong. I have invested in this game and suddenly I can not log in. The Scopely support answer is that the developers have been advised and that I need to wait until they fix the problem. So basically, to put in simple terms, we have your money so why should we care. This has been on going now since a recent update and the line is the same. Pity really as the game has potential. The team play and the friendship are very enticing. Just let down by those who run the game. Play it by all means, but stick your hard earned cash somewhere else. Good luck..Mobile sailerVersion: 7.10.0

✓ Little players get shafted...big guys get all the breaksI have been playing the old build for many months. The head-start they gave us when migrating meant I was the same level as before.....biggest players have gone up many levels since and been gifted end-game ships. It takes days to upgrade some buildings and you can’t do anything in the meantime and can be target by the big players and have all of your resources stripped. Have contacted support many times and get the standard we have done it fairly response when it clearly is not! Save yourself some time and AVOID unless significant changes are made..EzhelyaVersion: 1.6

✓ Fun game. Awful combat.This was one of my favorite games for a long time. I loved it so much. I had a good alliance and pretty good ships for my level. Unfortunately, have good stuff puts a target on your back for min maxers. Because people ten levels ahead of you can attack you. The people with power tens times yours will just obliterate your life savings. And then you have to spends months getting back all of what you lost. I got a pretty strong USS Discovery a about 75,000 power and thought I take a break and go on vacation. Gone for six days. Never logged on in that time. Came back and found out on level 30 guy raided my base 47 TIMES IN THREE DAYS!! All of my resources were stolen. I was unable to upgrade anything for three weeks. And just when I was starting to get some stuff back, another level 30 player in the same alliance raided me AGAIN!! Once again stealing all my stuff. I know the game is supposed to be multiplayer, but it is not much of a Star Trek game and it’s just min-maxers bullying anyone lower than them. Because of that and the developers clearly ignoring there unbalanced combat system, the game that I was really hoping would be good was just as bad as any other greedy mobile game out to make a buck. No respect for the community..Pug gamezzVersion: M54.0

✓ 0 ads but.....It’s a damn slow game, not in terms of loading screens but in progression. Because they don’t run ads, this is very much a Pay-to-Play. You can pretty much progress at a very rapid rate up until you reach level 9. You start encountering pay walls that you’d have to grind to overcome for a very long time. This also includes resources that you don’t have any actual options to contain outside of a daily challenges style loot system..HotredsauceVersion: 1.7.2

✓ Very poor by new developersNew update and new server to change from original version we were playing. Promised all of station upgraded to current player level, extra resources to reward long time players etc. Result, lots of buildings on station gone rather than upgraded so have to be upgraded back to the level they should have been on. When you complain they feed you some line about having plenty of resources to compensate. I had a fraction of the resources that I had before the upgrade. So far migration time took a day longer than promised, and it has now gone down for maintenance for the second time within 24 hours. Estimated down times are a joke and there is never any updates as to how much longer it is going to take. As for the promised bug fixes I have seen more bugs than usual including all the ones we used to get and new ones as well in the short time we got to play the game today. Developers are not interested in fixing the issues and if no improvement shortly I will be deleting it as well due to them resetting most of my progress with no compensation..Danb234Version: 1.6

✓ How to teach bullyingThe premise of the game is good, however after more than several months of play I am becoming more and more disappointed. The very major problem is the game encourages bullying, something we try to teach our children from an early age not to do. As you progress through the game you will find that higher and higher level players can (and will) attack you with absolutely no possibility of defence or ability to hit back. I'm now up against players who are 10x + stronger than I am. You can purchase upgrades through the store but they will give very limited benefits and are eye wateringly expensive, and will still not allow even play. The other issue is that you have to mine for resources, OK however once again, the spots are limited and if you are lucky enough to find one you are highly unlikely to keep it for any reasonable amount of time before you are bullied off. I've contacted the developer's and received the usual bot reply of thank you for contacting us we will look into your problems and get back to you, needless to say no meaningful response to date. You can F2P but only on a very limited basis, to be honest don't spend any real money..Halle64Version: 7.10.0

✓ Good game, wrong timelineNot bad .... but it’s kelvin timeline .... where is my enterprise D & E?.SdhhhtdxchubbjbcyhcjjVersion: 1.6

✓ Illogical.Illogical. A game that could be good, ruined by poor consideration of mechanisms encouraging PK behaviour by bored or trolling players. Limited options for ship customisation and no ability to use ships jointly as a “fleet” calls into question the honesty of the game’s marketing and name..Dd-nzVersion: M46.0.0

✓ Pay to play gameBecoming more and more of a pay to play geared game, each new roll out, which is every month , comes with more and more glitches instead of fixing the compounding glitches that they’ve developed, game is becoming very frustrating to play.ThccfvnhgvfbvgVersion: M58.0.1

✓ Do not botherThis is another typical pay to win game. That wouldn’t be so bad other than the fact is that the game play itself is so poor and so bogged down with the latest repair times that unless you want pay real money all you end up doing is waiting. The developer is only interested in generating funds and is not even remotely interested in constructive feedback from the people who are trying to play the game. Support is laughable as it is a simple bot that in the end does nothing, so no real support. Do not bother as there are far more engaging games available! If I could give this game a zero rating I would.Sparky Bit BoyVersion: 7.4

✓ Bad, not recommend.It’s obviously like every other game nothing like the ad and there is actually zero combat involved so far for me. It’s not very good, yeah yeah I might not be a Star Trek fan, but that is not the reason I dislike it. Zero combat that my problem..JdjdhhdjdhdVersion: M37.1

✓ Loved it....then....It al turned sour. Great game, but suddenly you hit the level when it becomes pvp. The game turned into a festival of online bullying as overpowered players would farm weaker ones. In chat abuse as well. Deleted it!.Wars itVersion: 7.2.1

✓ Not bad...Not a bad game, although I would expect a version in this day and age that allowed for player control of craft or different views from battles like from the bridge. After a while I see myself deleting this as there is little development or anything to maintain interest over the long time....EvilWombleVersion: 7.10.1

✓ 4 years in honest reviewFirstly, this is not a game to play if you’re wanting something free to play. Now, it used to be during the early years that if you invested a few quid you’d be up an ops level and probably have a half decent ship, but free to play players could compete to a degree. It was still competitive with other players because the power difference wasn’t massive, it was there but not extreme. Now, due to the dev planning being so off, the PvP level ranges being off, and the massive power of the pay to win ships which cost thousands in real cash, the game is unplayable. You unshield as a level 41 with your biggest ship 15 million power and you can be squashed in a single shot by a 1.6 billion power tens of thousand pound pixel, it’s nuts. Every big event now requires you to pay just to compete, be it by buying a ship or paying for officers. Scopely do nothing about bullying, harassment or racism and the level of toxicity are staggering. The worst bit though is that for all of the money they’ve fleeced people out of, they’ve done nothing to fix the issues with glitches and lag. Instead they have invested in account managers to be on hand for the mega spenders. This game could be amazing… but it’s just not. The only good thing about it is the social element. Even then though if you have a server with a high spending toxic or rogue player you may as well just quit in all honesty. They can literally bring everything to a halt. It’s sad.Studly1983Version: M60

✓ One of if not the worst game providerNot sure if there server are outdated or their programming department is over ambitious, but it seems they can’t get anything right. Everyday there are issues with lag, events being cancelled, functions not working. And for how much they charge for any in app purchase is greedy and ridiculous, you would think they would use some of that money to upgrade better game play. Run by a bunch of useless people!! Zero stars.Gggggggggggggggggggg1234567890Version: M61

✓ Bugged - no supportI initially loved this game. Great concept. Then at level 8, a main mission required me to go somewhere I could not go. So I decided to work on getting there. As I continued, I realised something wasn’t right. Contacted support and they told me “no, you must complete the mission”. That was 4 weeks ago; I’m now level 19 and a few dollars down. I finally get there and I’m then sent back to missions from level 8? Terrible support, and disappointing given how much I was enjoying the game. I’ve wasted weeks and weeks..Richo199Version: 9.1.1

✓ Money grabIt’s sad that this is being passed off as a Star Trek game when there’s very little Star Trek to it. Mine, blow other ships up, attack bases, etc. might all sound fun but it’s not. Mining can take HOURS, during which you’ll get attacked and destroyed by some jerk who bought a super unbeatable ship during the first days of release for $50. And when you’re destroyed, you lose part of what you mine. So it’s one step forward, two steps back. Upgrading takes 8+ hours to days on end. Alliances are helpful but only up to a point. It’s literally kill or be killed and currently the top alliances are solely focused on blitz attacks on lower level players because they can. The response is “hey it’s just a game, relax.” But therein lies the problem. You’ve taken away anything that can be fun about it and made it incredibly frustrating. To stick around, you either have to play for 18 hours a day or make purchases for resources and faster upgrades. I caved and bought a few, thinking it would take the target off my back and maybe allow me to enjoy the game without constant barrages. It didn’t. I played since day 2. Spent maybe $60 and I’ve had enough. Uninstalled and frankly I’d like my money back but I know that’s not happening. Don’t bother downloading unless you like your eyes glued to your iPad 24/7 and you don’t mind constant ambushes. Does anyone remember when Star Trek used to be about exploring?.Startrekkin58Version: 1.7.3

✓ Total disappointmentI started playing the game before the company that made it sold the game to Scopefy. They joined two servers and well after that thing went downhill. The graphics may be nice but don’t let that fool you in to thinking it a great game. What seems to be now the new BETA release of the game has more bugs than any other game I have ever played. So far the game has kicked me out of the alliance I was in 5 times and all text for missions is unreadable as well as can complete building an item and as a result I can not use any resources to build, only gold press to buy building. If you want support think again as you will just be given the run around and told the same think over and over with no outcome. If any person want to play wait till after the 29th of November and see if the next version is any better. It is sad that CBS has attached their name to this disaster of a game. Thanks from a very unhappy player.OfficerGremlinVersion: 1.7

✓ Pay to play1 star review on apple store : So I’ve played this game for 3 years and what they’ve done today is ridiculous. New Arc introduced game play that you could purchase or play for new Crew members that would help place/rank better in the Arc because of those Crews abilities. For those of us that have been here a while we tested and figured out to use one of original crew members from the ST reboot (Gaila). And she works pretty well for this new Arc. And what does scopely do? They see it working, no one is buying the mew crews, so they took away her abilities completely and sent out a discord post saying “we’ll figure something out down the road.” This isn’t a cheat players figured out. We used the tools available for the last 3 years to play the game and they changed the rules so they can make more money. This is after the game was down for maintenance almost a full day yesterday, chat in game has been broken for 14 days, and bugs galore. Eat it scopely..Foxhound69Version: M46.0.0

✓ Could have been an Amazing game… butI’ve been playing for about 18 months, after reading the reviews back then, I should have listened and stayed away and saved my money. That is what this game is all about. It could be a great team game,but sadly its whoever pays to win, is looked after, and the rest pay play and leave. Merge servers to keep the max number of players paying, but making it unplayable, don’t worry about th high paying bullies, alliances or rogue players, so sadly it’s times to go…save my money or give it to someone else..Monstarr63Version: M39.2

✓ A detriment to star trek principlesThe game’s internal politics between players is a vast majority of drama, bullying, and unwarranted stress. Most alliances bully others, threaten ultimatums, and actively antagonize one another. This is entirely antithetical to all that star trek resembles and reveres: diplomacy, discovery, unity, progressiveness, humanitarianism. In addition to that, the game is incredibly glitchy. What is playable is boringly slow, often taking a full day’s worth of waiting for base/ship building to finish so you can actually play the game. The game also is extremely top-heavy in terms of pay-to-play. All high spending players have massively overpowered ships which in a pvp environment ultimately suppress any hopeful upstart beginner to the game. Literally the only upsides are the music, graphics, and maybe bits and pieces of the story. All else is ruined by greed, power imbalance, glitches, and the worse side of gamers’ personalities. I did make some friends who I cherished, but sadly they weren’t enough to redeem the game itself. Play at your own risk..Lady GaghGaghVersion: 1.7.2

✓ Fun but ridiculously buggy and arcaneLove the look of this game and I have enjoyed the honeymoon period of the first ten levels (where upgrades are flying!). But there are a few downpoints... - variation is limited. All the missions are either travel back and forth or ‘kill that dude over there’ - no real nuance to the ship-to-ship battles. Just press the attack button and highest rating usually wins. - buggy as hell (but early days, I suppose) - quickly turning in to a morass of this-before-that missions where your entire gameplay halts for hours because you’re short 15 diithium to research the thing to build the other thing and meet the guy... - why oh why are there transport delays? Why should it take 2 minutes to travel to another system? Much of my game time is spent sitting watching the clock tick down. Basically it’s got potential but right now it’s just ‘game of war; fire age’ in space..MightypualVersion: 1.7

✓ Good game but Poor support and behaviorGame is good, but the support is poor when you raise issues. Have little interest in stopping bullying or trolling in the game.Thruster890Version: M55.1

✓ False Advertising of in App PurchasesI have been playing this game for about a year and up until about a month ago found it very entertaining. I decided to make two, (2) in app purchase one item was screen listed at $49.99 and the second was listed at the screen price of $12.99. As soon as I made the purchase I received notification that I was billed $146.89 and $28.24 which included tax and exchange. (Can’t beat the taxman) I know the CDN dollar isn’t worth the same as the US dollar and Canadians pay, for the most pay 13% sales tax. BUT THESE NUMBERS DONT ADD UP! After contacting customer support I was told that I’m wrong they’re right and they refused to either credit me in game or refund my money. I provided them with screenshots of the disparity and was told to basically F off, and that they would no longer reply to my messages. So I am warning EVERYONE who is currently playing this game or plans on trying the game make in app purchases at your own risk! Scopely does not care about its customers/players and from this even after providing them with screenshots WILL NOT ADMIT THEIR MISTAKES OR CORRECT THE ISSUE. It’s false advertising in every measure!.Rockstar_seanVersion: M61

✓ 3 starsI gave three stars to star fleet command . One there is no alliances war being conducted with other alliances besides targeting miners with alliances or floating ships with alliance . Secondly the resources take to progress a ship is to long and only event ships are the best power houses. Thirdly the amount of officer exp needed to level them up and promote is to high for the quest rewards because at certain point in leveling the operation building . The fourth thing recruiting new officers or getting them promoted is to hard because can only get one character token . It is uncertain how many each of them need to maxed out . The missions do not recycled to get more officer exp or ship exp . Otherwise this free game for those who like destroying ships with some grind .Do not expect to get officers quicker or level them up quickly, or have any indication if there are more severs that are open to ios . This game can benefit by giving alliances more reward systems or give alliances sectors with mines only for that alliance. Other then speed upgrades and the eventual upgrade to do armadas. Low level alliance members can not participate in armadas which means they can not get rewards from it besides reducing the waiting period on upgrades. The last thing mention the roster of characters do not have the crew tag easily identified without having to click on the avatar to find out if they belong in that crew group..ComplaintfordevsVersion: 9.0.1

✓ Great game - really poor customer service and stabilityI’ve been playing since STFC started and I’m still really engrossed in the playing style and new releases. But you’d better be ready for terrible customer service, they sit on support tickets for ages and give bot replies. You also cannot play an hour or more without a seize or crash, the stability is garbage on iOS, and it hasn’t been improved in years, literally..Swinners007Version: M58.1.2

✓ Looking for a free game? Well it’s sort of possibleThis is a good game, addictive and for the most part fun. Game chat for the main is great bar the odd idiots. The game itself is good but unless you are going to spend BIG and I mean BIG your progress will start slow and get slower as you work your way up. This game is amazingly expensive!! and what you get in the “packs” in relation to your £ or $ is almost nothing and not worth the money at all. Sheer greed on behalf of the developers. Support is rubbish from developers no other word for it. My advice to new players Join a Good alliance even if it’s a small one this will help immensely with your game play. Going it alone will only hold you back. Stick to the server rules. If you don’t you will be marked a rouge and everyone and their dog will hit you making game play and progression 100 times harder for you. Up to lvl 12 you can swap servers, I am in the UK but chose Asia time zone as had friends on that server. Lvl 60 is highest lvl but as more reach it the lvls get expanded. Bit of a joke really. I’m lvl 31 but and this is key. I don’t rush my base upgrades or ship or crew upgrades. If you do you will always be playing catchup and always be weak. If you join server 188 look me up I’m ShaakTi If you want an alliance that’s respected on that server look up KOR Above all have fun but if you want to grow quickly you WILL have to flash the cash and it’s very very expensive..Anubis010Version: M60

✓ What a joke!!!Unless you have tons of money to invest do not bother to play this game. It is too bad as this game has a lot of potential..PalapotVersion: 10.2.0

✓ Shield error bug can wipe out in game purchasesAfter purchasing packs in the game and starting a base shield at bed time, I checked the shield and it’s working fine but woke up next morning to find my base raided and empty. Impossible to get the resources back and support refuses even though the shield bug in the game is their fault. Scopely seem incapable of refunding their own errors. I have played the game for a long time and it’s quite good fun except support WILL REFUSE to refund even when the game has a bug that’s their fault they won’t return lost resources OR do anything other than send pre-written excuses and ignore your claim. It’s not the first time, over the last year it’s now many times support has done this. The game is great it’s just full of bugs and your money will be gone with no chance of return. I’m sad to leave the game and join the many inactive bases that the game now has from players distraught at loosing everything after so much hard work and pack purchases..Tic KleVersion: 9.0.1

✓ Terrible gameImpossible to play as the game is rigged to allow stronger players to simply prey on the new players. Beyond me how the game manages to survive..Loonie toonVersion: M35.2

✓ An embarrassment to the Star Trek nameI have played for a while, but I’m sorry this is just a poorly designed game that brings shame on the Star Trek franchise. Trek is about a positive hopeful future, boldly exploring, meeting new races and civilizations, team missions on strange worlds, the examples set by Kirk, Picard, Archer, and all the rest. Not mining. Soooo much mining, unless you pay to play. Unlock a new ship? Great, now you have to mine something new. Which brings us to the most broken part, PvP. Ship power scales way too quickly and becomes overpowering even a couple levels up. As in they suffer less than 5% damage when taking out all my ships, or space station. Yeah that’s right one ship can destroy a whole space station and 3 ships while taking less than 10% damage. Imagine Picard just flying from station to station blowing them up then taking out 10 mining vessels and that’s the whole game. Just grind away and pick on people less powerful than you, sounds nothing like Star Trek. Building your station is kinda cool, even if you have no frame of reference for any values. And the tech progression is ok, but tedious. If they had just built around that they could have made a decent game. If you want a Star Trek fix, try Timelines, much better play balance and a lot more characters you remember from every series and movie. Live long and Prosper, but not with this game!.SeedBoy23Version: 1.7.4

✓ Don’t waste your moneyUpdate was a disaster. People ( myself included) who have spent money have lost buildings and ship lvls, resources have also disappeared into nothing. Officers that have been promoted and lvl up have also been wiped out..Mantus1976Version: 1.6

✓ Awful, buggy game.While this game has an awesome community, that is all it has. Cheaters/exploiters run riot and the developers simply ignore multiple reports. Bots used to locate bases and inform people when shields will be dropping. Bugs everywhere in this game. Mines you can’t use, station shields not activating, rewards from events not being given to alliance members - and the developers simply turn a blind eye or use some robotic response. If you contact customer support you’ll get multiple people trying to ‘help’ in one conversation, so they have no clue what’s going on. One member of an alliance has had an important part of his station out of use due to a bug for months now. They can’t fix it. And he isn’t being compensated or anything. They just say they’re ‘working to find a fix’. Meanwhile he can’t take part in events, or play the game how it’s supposed to be played. Do not get this game. You know it’s bad when the p2w element isn’t the worst thing you’ll experience. It is not a mobile game. Will crash every 5 minutes..MasignuVersion: M58.1.2

✓ This is stupid and developers are money grabbingI’ve been playing for about 4 months and I have put some funding into getting some ships to make it easier to play but when the game is “PAY TO WIN” those will little to no funds can’t compete. To have a x10 level gap between the Bullies and the normal players, is stupid. For example, on server eu400. It is ran by one main bully in the biggest alliance. The server agreed rules to make the game more enjoyable and this one prat declares a all time server war which the only ones safe are any allies he has. I’m not going to be spending £1000’s of pounds to try and catch up. Once a better game comes along, I’m switching games. The developers don’t do anything for the players and it’s all about making profit from saps who are willing to pay to win. This game has ruined Star Trek for me personally and I hope The Star Trek executives pull the rights from this game. But I doubt it as it’s lining their pockets, even though it is destroying the reputation of Star Trek..CC2116Version: M63

✓ Money hungryThis game could be amazing, buuuuuut not. I’ve been playing for 3 years, so I do like the game… when it works. The problem is, it doesn’t work smoothly.. ever. Instead of fixing issues that have plagued the game for years, they only want to hurry new content into the game, creating more money for them and more headaches for the players. On the verge of quitting right now due to it being almost unplayable. Game freezes or kicks you out, every 10 minutes or so. But if you can get past the glitches, then there’s the pay wall. I mean, these guys gotta make money, it’s a business but this is ridiculous . Most expensive game I’ve ever seen! Bottom line is, would I do it all over again, knowing what I know now? NO..DatungVersion: M61.2

✓ Great game but poor supportBe warned if you play this game and don’t spend real money a lot to get by in this game you will never be able to enjoy it. The open level PVP system in this game is designed to work for anyone why pays to win. It allows players with such high strength in there ships to attack lower level players once you hit level 20 your open targets to any player up to level 32 that’s right 12 levels higher to just keep killing you while you try and do your daily missions and quests. Don’t expect much from the company running this game for CBS they don’t seem to care really unless your account spends hundreds of dollars just to play this game. As a big Star Trek fan I love the game but the culture they allow to fester in the game of super high and strong players able to attack lower and weaker players with no chance to be able to defend yourself. Be warned it will really start to turn you off fast..OscarltVersion: 9.3.1

✓ Game is worse then ever!This game was fun till about level 21 then it just got horrible everything is way to expensive to buy, I could literally buy 3 PS4’s and a BMW with the money the alliance [BREW] spends in Server 36 and I could buy a House in Long Island with the amount the alliance [SUPR] spends on Server 36 it’s residuals all them 2 alliances do is bully every other alliance to get there way and territory update and add on has made this issue way worse! Not to mention you can’t upgrade your station without spending $50 a month and at least 7 hours a day of playtime a day once you hit level 28 and then you get hit constantly I have to buy shields constantly with my alliance points and it’s just making me not want to play then you have [BREW] Soggy and some other players photo shopping In game DM’s and reporting people for stuff they didn’t really say or was snap shot out of context and then that player gets banned for 24 hours without any warning so then the reporter gets to raid the base of the person he or she reported then that person is left with nothing and scopely gives zero crap about you or your account if you ain’t spending at least $20 a week all it takes is for you to call some racist a idiot and boom your banned for 24-48 hours with NO WARNING AND YOUR BASE IS RAIDED AND YOUR LEFT WITH NOTHING. Don’t play this game I’m level 28 almost level 29 and I’m hating this game more and more every day. Only reason I log on is cause I like the fellas in my alliance..OGProgressiveVersion: M33

✓ Save yourself some frustrationThe game at its core isn't a bad one. The issue comes when you talk about balance and level progression. Currently I have at least four missions I've been given that, at my level, I can't possibly do. This isn't about being a bad gamer, I literally can't do the mission as I have to be able to warp X amount of jumps when the best of my ships can do about 10 less than that. So I physically can't get to where I need to be too start, continue or finish the missions. Very frustrating, save yourself some grief and don't get this game..FynalFormVersion: 9.6.1

✓ Cancerous community; cancerous game systemCan’t believe it actively encourages players to grief each other and offers little recourse while you aren’t playing to prevent you from being griefed. I found some nice supportive players on there, in amidst the children who attack you while you aren’t logged on and steal the things in the game you worked hard for or bought. The problem is that you aren’t really playing against other players, your playing against the game itself. It’s marketed to spend massive amounts of cash, supposedly for an advantage but really all the resource grinding and cash paying doesn’t get you very far. The game simply wants you to spend a little more cash to get over the horizon to them push you closer to the next horizon… Buy an Xbox and play that. It’s more enjoyable and ultimately cheaper than this..LordMaximillanVersion: M32.1.2

✓ Shameful use of Star Trek nameGene Roddenberry would be so saddened by this game which only supports bullying and stealing to advance. The pay to play is off the rails. Insanely shameful to star trek principles. Do not download and do NOT pay to play!!!!.RedStar29Version: 2.1

✓ Horrible Player EnvironmentIt’s very unfortunate that a game like this with the property it holds allows for a free for all pvp system that severely punishes your causal player or player trying to lvl up but are constantly harassed by more experienced players purposely staying at a lower level to destroy ships without provocation under the guise of “aggressive gameplay”. It’s ridiculous that there is 0 moderation for this game, and it fosters (and rewards) online bullies to continuously harass up and coming players for their sheer enjoyment. It’s incredibly disheartening that these players are allowed to run amok and do as they please with absolutely no consequence. The more I play, the more frustrated I become and it’s getting to the point where this app is going to get deleted because it is no longer fun to play. The entire Star Trek franchise is about inclusion and these players are doing everything they can to ruin a Star Trek experience, and that they’re allowed to do it with impunity. It’s very disappointing. Further, the iPad version of the game constantly crashes. If it’s not the players ruining the experience, it’s the bugs in the game. I would advise against picking up this game and waiting for another development to truly respect the franchise instead of simply slapping a Star Trek skin on a corrupt pay-to-win free for all pvp “strategy” game. I expected better..AceCruzatVersion: 9.8.2

✓ AvoidIf you’re looking at starting this game, avoid it unless you have loads of money to spend on it. The concept of the game is to mine resources to progress your station and build/upgrade your ships, however when your station passes lv15 you are open to attack from big pay to play accounts who have spent a fortune to get the biggest baddest ships that are available and then rob you of about 90% of your resources, they don’t need to mine, they just take yours. In other games you might get some sort of shield that stops you getting repeatedly attack but not here. In this game you get a 5 minute shield where if you are active you can activate one of your own, if not then it’s tough luck as you are now open to attacks for the next 8 hours (that info is from the devs). Also the game is loaded with glitches. You have missions to complete such as attacking hostiles (shown as red ships in game play) but many of these have become static on the screen and as such can’t be attacked. You can also send and receive help to build things from your alliance members but in order to see the help requests you need to force close the app and reopen. These glitches have been reported but I don’t think the devs care as there as still some people who are willing to throw big money at this glitchy game, so as long as the lolly flows the glitches won’t get fixed..AlwoodsVersion: 2.0

✓ Pay to play onlyThe game is packed with bullies and you can’t do anything without spending real money. I played for a couple months without spending anything and I came to a sudden stop. The bullying, politics, and a$$hole nature of players make it unplayable if you don’t spend money. This game is Not recommended..TheMainTieKneeVersion: 7.3

✓ Seriously unbalancedThis game started out extremely fun. Who wouldn’t want to fly around in a starship, blow up hostiles, complete missions and engage is some friendly PvP. There are numerous pay walls as you progress and with a maximum level of 50, hitting a major pay wall at 19 is ridiculous. I spent just over $2k on the game and made it halfway through level 27. Upgrading structures and buildings takes 3-4x more resources than your station can possibly generate on its own. The change in resources needed as you level is exponential and not linear at all. At lvl 27 I can generate and hold ~3 million par steel. Building upgrades cost upwards of 10 million. It is absurd that on order to level up the station you must spend $99 per pack and probably need 3-4 packs to gain a level. Also, pack purchases scale with your station level. At lvl 1, packs give substantially less than at lvl 10 and even less at lvl 20. Packs shouldn’t be tiered to give more at higher levels. Packs should not scale whatsoever and simply give less benefit as you gain levels. Either that or make all packs scaled to what they would give at maximum level. The individual servers are run by those who spend tons of $$$ Because they have the most powerful stations and make the rules. I am quitting the game mostly for this reason alone. My recommendation is that unless you have a massive disposable income or are keen on massive credit card debt I would steer clear of this game entirely..HsutxmanVersion: 7.3.1

✓ Absolute jokeUnless you plan to drop hundreds of dollars into this game, don’t bother with it. Every rolled out update comes with enough bugs and server lag to shut the game down completely for an extended period. When new ships and officers are offered to players, they are offered to paying players ONLY. As you advance in the game, rewards will become more and more worthless until you spend half a day grinding and most of the prizes you earn will be blueprints for ships that are ten to twenty levels below you. If the developer posts a response to this review, they’ll lie about “quality of life” improvements and I’ll be invited to contact support directly with further feedback. This is false and a waste of time. If Scopely Support even bothers to respond to my message, they’ll completely ignore what I’ve written to brush my concerns off because I’m a Free to Play player. The developer doesn’t care about the player base beyond how much money they can squeeze out of it. If you find the right alliance (not clan. ALL the promotional material for this game is false advertising), you’ll enjoy hanging out with new people, but if you’re a potential new player, stay away. Scopely couldn’t care less about your gaming experience. Now watch as they drop a Developer Response full of meaningless platitudes and falsehoods, and that is word for word the same response they use on every other review. Edit: As predicted, the developer responded with meaningless platitudes and falsehoods. They fail to mention that Scopley Support will often take so long to respond that by the time my message is even acknowledged, it’s a week after the event I messaged about and support is no longer possible. The only thing Scopely cares about is your money..Hannibal054Version: M56.1.1

✓ Generally good but....Good game, very addictive but few issues... game is solely geared to people who spend ALOT of money on upgrades (which are insanely expensive) which means lower players have to have base shields up all of the time, thus meaning you can’t progress the pvp phase cos your shield is up protecting against high level players. As an example level 41 player can attack a level 29 player where there power of a ship is more than my entire base.... scopelys response... it makes the game more interesting for high level players... what a joke. If you’re prepared for this the game is a laugh and if you get in a good alliance can be enjoyable. Second and more importantly, there is a major issues with the game and scopely do not care. A piece shield is activated on a night to protect base, it confirms as being active .... but when you close the game to catch some zzzzzz the shield resets and your base is now free to be attacked. Turns out the shield hasn’t actually registered. This has personally happened to be 3 time’s and scopely customer services said no shield active.... but it was. They do not even try to answer the actual problem and even acknowledge it. This has happened to other people in my alliance and developers are informed but couldn’t care less. You get the same response from them and they close the case, not even allowing you to respond..HockeygkVersion: 9.9.3

✓ Pay or you can’t playThis isn’t even Pay to Win it’s Pay or you can’t level up. Bases require more resources than you can store to level up ...$$$$ Mine all day and still not receive enough recourse once refined to level up ..unless $$$$ Get hit by Paid players with NO chance of competing no mater how much time and effort you put in ... unless you $$$$ A few players that have spent about $1000 dollars can dominate an entire server. This game is the digital equivalent of raping Gene Roddenberrys corpse for money $$$.Diablo pabloVersion: 1.7.3

✓ Good game but addictive and costlyThe game is essentially gathering resources and spending them on advancing technologies or building ships. As you progress the resources required increase. Every technology advancement then takes time to build. It is a addictive cycle (not in a good way). There are a few elements to the game. Single player, alliance, player vs player etc. The single player was interesting at first but after a few missions you stop reading the story. The developers keep expanding the game. I found the expanding scale of the game diluted my achievements. There are daily challenges rewarding you with resources. And here is the issue. Gathering resources takes time even with daily rewards. There is the option for in-game purchases. £20 a month to increase your daily rewards. £49 to unlock a fast resource farming ship. Maybe a points rewards bundle for £20 every other month. A recent upgrade offered to improve my player vs player strength by 150%. Another, improving my resource farming by 100%. Each was available to me if I paid £50 or more. Perhaps after significant time I may have “earned” them. Many in my alliance did make the purchase. I was unwilling to invest either the time or money. Bottom line, be prepared for the required large investment in this game. If you wish to progress then you will also realistically need to invest £30 or more a month. The game was fun few issues. Good work team..Someguy0123456789Version: 10.1.0

✓ Notification fails, horrible customer serviceThe game has been buggy from the start. Many have gotten worse over the years. The most frustrating is the alert system. The game often fails to tell you you’re being attacked, even if you’re on your phone at the time, leading to a significant or total loss of resources that sometimes you paid for! Don’t throw your money away on buying resources, because Scopely’s failures and bugs will cause you to lose it. The customer service has gone from bad to horrible over the years too. They went from telling you they’d fix it, to telling you it’s working as intended, to totally blocking out any input or comments. It’s just a bot now that immediately closes out the ticket. I’m not paying for this garbage any more, and I suggest others not waste their money until Scopely fixes the game. UPDATE: You can see Scopely’s response. Attack notifications had been incredibly reliable for years. A push came through every attack. You could count on it. Now who knows. And their excuse is lame, because Discord and Twitter and Messenger every news and sports app can figure out how to get their push notifications through. And Scopely did too! It worked. It doesn’t any more. Again, don’t waste your money on resources because Scopely’s failures will lead you to lose them..GettinOldVersion: M38.1

✓ If you want to play for free, you will be punished for itThis game is well designed with amazing detail and intricacies. The opportunity for choosing your own adventure is endless. The entire thing is well done. I’m sure it wasn’t cheap. If you want to play for free or FTP as we are known in the game, you will pay for that in other ways. Scopely designs subtle issues that reek havoc on advancement and fair play. The game is still fun but can get very frustrating when one of these issues pops up. You’ll have to wait, or spend earned credit of some sort, or just sit back and watch while the rest of the (paying) server keeps at it. Or start paying for resources of some kind. A notable issue with this game as well are rogue players who will destroy everything you have worked for, sometimes forcing you to waste assets, or resources that you may have paid actual money for. Scopely sees these folks as a way to make more money as the players who get hit spend money to repair or fix that damage. These clowns will argue with the entire server to justify their stupidity. Ultimately they will end up spoiling the game and there have been many players who have quit because they go unchecked and unstopped. The game is well designed. Be aware that it has a few issues that, when encountered, will cause immense stress and emotion. Play at your own risk..J0eb0yVersion: M58.1

✓ Ripped offI have put in so much time, effort and money in building my resources only to have it all taken from me. I now get attacked by ships more than 10 times the strength of me and have to wait 48 mins for my ship to be repaired. There is no more enjoyment in this game yes the old version had bugs but this is nothing more than an attempt to get more cash out of us.. well no way will you be getting another cent out of me .because you will just steal it all away from me again..plus we have to explore the entire system again.. so upset.O_MagicVersion: 1.6

✓ Waste of time, not funYou just end up going through the pointless paces. No real storylines. Nothing interesting to explore. Don't waste your time..GT RacerVersion: M35.2

✓ DisappointingThere was a server change and a (so-called) massive up date to fix heaps of bugs! We were promised heaps of things like resources, officers and to have our bases buildings all upgraded to our station level.....what we received instead was: ships lost, officers lost, materials lost, missions already completed lost, equipment to upgrade ships lost, the galaxy had to be discovered again... and the list goes on and on. What we did get is a bit of latinum to help buy speed ups and resources....HOWEVER as everything costs so much more on this new server what little latinum we got has to be used to recover a little of what we had lost! An extremely disappointing effort by the developers! I wouldn’t waster your time on this game UNTIL the devs actually get their act together....but on previous experience don’t hold your breath! This game at the moment doesn’t even rate 1 star!.PurpleXenaVersion: 1.6

✓ Bullying not addressedGood graphics and concept, but Scopely just allows PoS bullies to run rampant and ruin the concept of the game for others who want to mine and do missions like the game is set up to do. There should be blocks where you can play your game invisibly to online bullies and stalkers who like to hunt people they have chosen NOT to like. 95% want to play the missions and game set up but the 5% doing the PvP bullying turn the game into a school yard bully session. Too bad Scopey is paying more attention to the 5% (online bullies) and not the 95% who actually want to enjoy the game. Recommend finding a different game to play unless you like being bullied..Trekkie2020Version: M25.1.1

✓ Lack of PvPThe game is doing ok. However I’ve stopped spending as for a long time there has been virtually no PvP on my server. Everyone is entrenched in their territories, no one is incentivised to attack anyone and some alliances simply swap with each other, which is not in the spirit of the game. The game requires PvP incentives and I don’t mean a silly little event. There were incursions which was great fun but they have been stopped. Also Scopely seem to introduce things and then forget about them. Territory is an excellent mechanic but it needs an overhaul to keep people fighting. If you want PvP, stay away from this game as if you’re unlucky you’ll end up in a server like mine where everyone is content to mine all day and do the same dailies that have existed since STFC began. The game could be excellent again if Scopely genuinely work hard to make sure there are proper incentives to engage in server battles. A weekly territory fight would be enough and a real incentive to do it. I mean it when I say there is literally nothing happening on our server (175) If PvP is reintroduced then play this game as it will be worth it to upgrade your ships and enjoy improving them. Otherwise you’re best served playing something else that caters to both pve and PvP in equal amounts..BjgnnkkkVersion: M53

✓ All about pay to playIt’s got to a point where no matter what level you are if you don’t spend money you can’t get ahead. It was fun, now it’s unachievable. Thanks scopley for turning us off the game.S1r1jVersion: 7.2.1

✓ Infinite incursions is a nightmareSo, if pay to win wasn’t bad enough, the devs decided, in their infinite wisdom, that there wasn’t enough abuse within this game towards the players, that they would pit server against server, without bothering to check that the servers they pitted against each other in an all out melee were remotely equal. So after playing this game for a year, it’s now a nightmare. My favourite tv franchise is now a nightmare game. I never thought I’d say that. The game is almost unplayable with all the glitches and “reboots” and the devs don’t care as long as they can get your $99 USD for packs. Run don’t walk away. Turn off phone and delete the APP..Jellybean's MomVersion: M44.1.0

✓ Great game, however the developers are now failing the games communityThe game itself is a good game, addictive and has a good community of players that play the game, many are long term players and now quite rightly are complaining about the game now, at the moment I’m away for the weekend connected to the internet and throughout the whole weekend have had stability problems with the game something which a number of players complain about. With every passing update there are new features added to the game there also seems to be more issues with the game in terms of bugs and glitches that aren’t fixed, it now just seems that scopely are more interesting in the money in which they can now grab of the players and when most things are £100 in this climate of economic difficulties is just crazy! The game is about to celebrate it’s 5th anniversary if scopely do not do something to repay the loyalty of the this game’s community and fix the issues then I can’t see it lasting another 5 years..Kempo23Version: M58.1.2

✓ Not Good Not Enjoying It!!!Being attacked by stronger players whilst mining via weak ships is annoying. I want to mine without being attacked in the neutral star systems. Being attacked by other players whilst mining. Should only happen if you're in a different faction zone. Not while you're in the neutral zone. If that can't be properly balanced then I will not recommend this game to anyone. Plus perhaps you should allow other players to mine. But if you're being attacked. You're not going to be destroyed. Instead there'll be a plunder limit of how many times you can be attacked but you won't be destroyed but losing whatever resources you've got from the current mining. Whilst your ship still continues to mine the remaining ore. And after mining your ship that has finished mining would be able to return back to your base automatically if you have enabled that setting..GAMESweetGVersion: 1.7.2

✓ Getting better but still needs more polish.This game is getting better. Still bugs here and there... but gameplay and monthly mission ARCs are getting very good. Customer support is starting to become more helpful, but still has a long way to go to get a 5 star rating. Offical Star Trek licensing and great alliance focused events and Armadas makes you come back for more every day. Packs are still on the expensive side. Squish a few more bugs and give customer support more freedom to look after players and you will get 5 stars from me..LukassRaDoVersion: M51.2.0

✓ ExpensiveThe game is actually very good, but the development team have got greedy, Upgrading past the 2nd levels of ships will cost you hundreds of dollars, they are banking on the Star Trek name. The drop rate for critical items for upgrading will see most people quitting after a few months once they reach the higher levels you will not be able to really progress unless you pay.. FACT Unfortunately like all these games this is the business model we all know yet still play until the time they price most people out, Shame really.GizmosassyVersion: 1.7.4

✓ Don’t botherInitially a good fun game. But play for more than a few days and the ongoing game crashes and overpriced in app purchases with wildly varying value dependent on which server you’re unfortunate to be assigned to. But the kicker with this game is the ongoing crashing. It happens with great regularity and support are at best indifferent to the issue. The incompetence of the game developers to fix the issue are only matched by the greed for in app purchases. At this stage I’d rather spend my time bashing my groin with a stone as I’d feel about as good afterwards and not have spent any money for a app that works about as well as throwing fuel on a fire to put it out..FedupintasmaniaVersion: 9.8.2

✓ Don’t believe the 4.5 stars. The game is impossible to advance.I had high hopes for this game, but after you get to level 10 or 11 it gets really hard to advance without spending money. I spent some money. I quickly started to make some progress but when I got to level 15 things just got impossible. I purchased a large pack which gave me a ton of resources and started leveling up again. Within 8 hours of my purchase, one player that was 5 lvls higher and in a ship there was no way in hell I could defend against, cleaned me out of all my stored resources in just an hour. I had only used 20% of the resources I had purchased and given the time requirements for building and leveling it would have taken me a week to use all the resources I had. The other player was rude, and completely happy and proud to have stolen my stuff. This community has no etiquette, no respect for other players and is full of bullies and cowards who must have absolutely no life in the outside world. There is no way to report these players and there is no way to defend your self, because you only get so many shields. If someone destroys your base, you get a 5 min shield. Just 5 min. That is how the guy could sit there and attack me 7 times in a row while I was offline living my normal life. Don’t spend any money cause all it is right now is a ripoff..PizzaboneVersion: 2.01

✓ Unstable, expensive and a time-suckerBugs. Lots of bugs. So, so many bugs. This game is constantly failing and every time they fix something, they break 10 more things. No thought goes into added or updated features and absolutely nothing gets tested before they roll it out. The game performance is also terrible - so much lag and connectivity issues. They roll out new features so quickly with and push off quality of life updates just because they don’t make them any money like the cash grab of new features. When it works, it can be fun, but unless you’re willing to spend thousands of dollars each quarter, be prepared to grind for hours on end every single day, and even then, you’ll never get ahead, you’ll just fall behind the spenders at a slower rate. Support will also just close tickets on you for no reason. They like the easy tickets, but if you challenge them even in the slightest with a new bug or issue, you’ll get silence for a week and then they’ll close your ticket out for you. If you do get lucky enough to get a response, it’ll make no sense and you have no hopes of getting them to understand the problem. Sometimes you get a little reimbursement, but most of the time you don’t..MaQleodVersion: M50.0.0

✓ More stars than it deservesSo I gave this game one star just for the fact it’s Star Trek So this game is great as long as you’re a millionaire the game it totally pay to win all scopely care about is how much money they can get out of you by putting at least 80% of the content behind a pay wall take the server I’m on it’s always the same players with the biggest ships who place in the top 5 and get all the good rewards which they don’t really need and most likely will never use and don’t get me started on the balancing of the levelling system in this game I’m level 24 and anything below level 20 4 levels lower are protected from me yet players who are level 34 can attack me and clear my station in minutes which I can do nothing at all about because they are so much stronger and why would scopely do thing to change that when all the big level players are cash cows and scopely will do everything in their power to keep the cash flowing (update review 2024 oh my where to start the amount of players who have quit my server due to one player attacking them on a hourly basis I mean he’s ops 67 with ships 4B in power I’m ops 45 my strongest ship is 22m yet the jokers who make this game claim thats fair he’s 22 levels higher then me how’s that remotely fair every update they bring more useless stuff to do for that months battle pass then gets forgotten multiple bug also if you’re looking to start this game just don’t it’s like having a second job at this point with no pay.McVampireVersion: M64.1

✓ BULLIES!Do NOT download and play this game, it is a game for bullies and Scopely will do NOTHING about it. Support say they will be in contact within 24 hours but that’s a lie, they have never been in contact with me within 24 hours of a complaint..XqasVersion: M35.2

✓ Sometimes potential just isn’t enoughSuch a shame that I have to leave a negative review for this game. But as the title says ‘Sometimes potential isn’t enough’. The actual game is quite good and if this was a newly developed game I’d say stick with it as could be awesome. But it’s not new and it’s not getting any better, every time a new update is released it has major bugs, adding to the existing bugs. It’s like scopely can’t fix something so add a new feature which then doesn’t work because it has bugs and it’s just an endless cycle of which bug is going to affect you today. I’m now at point that have to delete and reinstall the game at least 5 times a day to play! As a result your base ends up being wiped out because of multiple bugs merging to basically make it impossible to work around and although Scopely recognise that it’s as a result of their errors they won’t reimburse you for any loses! They ask for feedback, plus I’ve done several additional surveys, but what’s the use in feeding back the bugs when the response is yes we’re aware but can’t help at this time but please reach out with any further comments...further comments? What’s the use of further comments if there’s never any resolving of them? Anyway, great game, spoiled by major game altering bugs with nothing being resolved..ChrisW#1Version: 9.0.1

✓ Great until it glitchedGreat and addictive game. Played for 18 months then it glitched and put me back to the beginning. Make sure you back this game up! Messaged the developers but I guess no news is bad news. Disappointing..129broVersion: M56.1

✓ Very expensive and buggyEnjoyed the Star Trek storylines and references, but found this to be one of the most expensive multiplayer games I’ve experienced. If you do decide to spend the minimum of $7.99 or $30 for a store pack, you quickly lose any bought resources if you forget to shield your base. My game crashes every half hour, and still has bugs never addressed such as your ship getting stuck in attack mode. Players have to agree to server rules to try to balance the game so that mining becomes somewhat possible. Higher ranked players are able to attack very high range of lower players making it too top heavy for P2P. If you want to play for fun, don’t go higher than lvl 14, and don’t buy packs..Ozrocket59Version: 9.2.1

✓ What’s good and what’s badBeen playing for a while and I’m ftp all the way (i don’t buy stuff). Game play works well at early levels until you get to around lvl 20, at which point the game play gets ropey: many missions impossible, system of rewards don’t stack up (e.g. the stations which have the resources you need are too strong to hit, those which you can hit have no resources), and the events are always stacked in favour of more powerful and resource rich players. This is designed to encourage you to spend money on upgrades of course, especially to get the powerful ships you need to succeed. For ftp players like me it just turns me off due to boredom. Before I get to the good bits, my main gripe is that on iPhone the game crashes all the time: I lose connection and then it feezes and I have to reload the app: pain in the proverbial. Good bits: join an alliance and you get a real sense of team play, people look out for you and vice versa. There’s strong ethics by players which is interesting, especially when a player beaks the rules! The gamification is smart, you can literally spend hours on the game: I hear higher lvl players spend upwards of 5 - 6 hours a day or more. It keeps you on your toes there’s always something to do. Overall, I’ve been close to deleting for good at times due to the bugs and freezes, but if they fix those I could be playing this on my deathbed..6stargeneralVersion: 7.5.4

✓ Non stop beat upNot a horrible game as far as advancement but the constant stealing and attacking by other players will leave you deflated. Days of trying to accumulate items and only to have it all stolen in moments. Sorry but you lost me as a player on this one..GiLgspotVersion: 7.3

✓ In game help is uselessI’m trying to report in issue, but the not just gives me useless information, then closes the chat..Rauko81Version: M61.1

✓ Attn Parents: cyber bullyingHello everyone, I am not one to write bad reviews as there is enough negativity in the world. But this app has all age ranges as it is rated 12+. Some of the players are kind and considerate. Others are downright cruel…one in particular has sent numerous messages calling people awful names, and although the system screens for profanity it doesn’t catch the nuance of slang such as when someone tells a 12 yr old boy to “eat sausage you any player” well any 12 yr old knows that “any” was meant to be a different word. And blocking the remarks doesn’t stop the constant attacks by ignoring rules of engagement (ROE). Until remedies can be arranged to protect our kids this game should be avoided at all costs. Cyber bullying is real and it needs to be stopped..HowliteVersion: M29.0.0

✓ Not “fun” because other players hamper progressNew players beware. Although the game will allow you to play in a PVE (player vs environment) capacity... after level 20, higher level vultures (players) will constantly stalk you, destroy your mining ships (mining takes time) and ransack your station within 20 mins of a shield expiring. Each raid will set you back weeks...especially as you can only mine small amounts before your ships come under attack again. In order to play this way and avoid constantly being attacked, the game requires exhaustive micro management. Overall, good interface/graphics but I do not recommend playing if you have a life..Kyi561Version: 9.0.1

✓ NonsenseSeriously, anyone who is giving this game anything over a 1 star rating is either misguided or employed by the company that develops the game. We, the players, are continually given rubbish updates, that make the game all but useless. In the most recent “update” the range our starships can travel has been halved, so that it is nearly impossible to achieve anything without...you guessed it...buying expensive packs to upgrade things. Nothing but a greedy money grab, pay to play at its worst. Honest reviews people, please! Oh yeah, if you’re looking at playing this game, one word of advice - don’t!.Dor TtarpVersion: 1.7.2

✓ Rife with bullying and the most unfair levelling system ever conceivedBeen playing for a few months and joined a good alliance however there are some serious flaws and drawbacks. If you are concerned about any children playing this then hide any sharp knives and lock the medicine cabinet as the amount of bullying is unbelievable. Most of this is down to the grossly unfair levelling system whereby your little base can get stripped to the bone by someone massively more powerful than you, that your’ll never in a million years to able to compete against. Obviously this is Star Trek so all the hardcore Trekkies have got a foothold early on and have drawn up an intricate rule book that you have to follow, .....apparently. You’ll get a bit fed up with it after awhile unless you can put up with people messaging you telling you off for ‘playing the game’? Still playing it but, seriously the people who designed it are are very clever, but, to be honest they're just a bunch of wankers..CremtechVersion: 9.9.2

✓ If I was unemployed this game would be okayPlayed this game for several years but the content now is just too much. There are numerous materials to mine, every new ship needs some sort of grind to get the parts to level it making the game player laborious and repetitive. Essentially you are mining all day and hitting 100s of red diamonds. People moan about the PVE element, which is heavily slanted to the pay to play whales, but in reality that’s about 1% of the gameplay. I’ve never spent money on this as the cost in relation to what you get is obscene. However, people do and that’s their thing. It’s a decent game to while away the time if you have time to spare. There are people on here that have an unhealthy obsession or nothing better to do with their time and take it way too seriously. In fairness the devs have added some content to try and make the game play better but it is just additional grind in the main which I can’t be arsed with..#everyones a football tipsterVersion: M64

✓ New release TNGI can’t believe this tripe, as this is all I can say. Actually Tripe would be more useful and more positive than this game right now. I have had issues with this game non-stop and now this new update all about the borg and yet, can access any of the missions in the holo-deck. Every time I click on one nothing happens. When I play the game on my iPad it crashes non-stop every 10 minutes but when I play on my iPhone it is fine doesn’t crash although this new update as in the holo deck missions isn’t working on my phone either even though the rest of the game is fine and my iPhone and iPad is up to date with the game updates and IOS!! As for the prices for ships, yeah good luck getting decent ships that ain’t going to happen. Finally the biggest thing is the fairness, I was attacked and that is fine that’s part of the game but I went away come back the next morning to find out my station had been attacked 300 times by the same bloody person!!! Seriously how is that fair? There ships are like between 5 million and like 10 million and my ships are like 900,000 and 1.5 million so clearly I don’t stand a chance and my station doesn’t stand a chance! Let’s no forget the Alliances that are like 50- 80 million strong and they are just attacking non-stop and your station is like 13 million, you clearly don’t stand a chance, clearly scopely need to get their act together!!.GeneralBloodVersion: M60

✓ Don’t waste your timeExtremely buggy game. Support never respond to issues, in-fact they have made it virtually impossible to resolve issues due to their help bots leading you in circles. First game I’ve played where cyber bullying is not only prevalent, it’s encouraged. Two suggestions I have is : Change the game title to “Star Trek connection issues “ And run, run far, far away- do not push that download button!.YippiekiayayVersion: M55.1

✓ Star Trek Fleet Command: pay to play or die tryingAt the start this is a great game... But it soon becomes impossible to progress without paying LARGE sums of money. And if you do decide to pay money your base WILL be attacked and you WILL lose half of what you paid for. If you enjoy being cyber bullied and ganged up on then this is the game for you! If you accidentally bump into someone’s mining ship they will more than likely send you a private message threatening you and then have their alliance find your base and take everything you have... And then they WILL message you to gloat about it. In conclusion, enjoy for one week, then delete..TheRunningBassManVersion: 2.1

✓ Bullying in Star Trek?Not a fan of the bullying that takes place in the game. Definitely not what Star Trek is supposed to be about..Warren VVVersion: 7.3

✓ Good Concept but buggy as hellGreat design to the game, engaging storylines and well crafted environment but really buggy, constantly restarting the game and heavily driven by upgrades which take ages in a relentless attempt to get you to invest in the various in-app purchases. Now deleted the game as it was getting tiresome..Dave SniperVersion: 8.0.1

✓ BuggyThis game is really buggy, you start to play then the game freezes and you can not do anything. Buttons freeze in the game so you can not do anything, certain controls freeze as well. Nothing seems to work. Other than that it seemed like a good game..ScoobyDooNZVersion: 1.7.2

✓ If only 0 stars was an optionTime to write another review as previous one mysteriously disappeared? Anyway, don’t play this game unless you want to spend tens of thousands of real money, it’s the only way you will make any headway and definitely the only way scopely will care at all about you! The game is full of bullies who have spent a fortune and will destroy you constantly making the game completely unplayable unless you bow down to them. Scopely do not care anything about in game bullying or think the only way this can be done is to use profanity, and if you do you’ll be banned with no explanation, not even telling you what it was you said. At the same time they’ll pretend the game is for anyone, but are quite happy for entire alliances to sit on your base constantly forcing you to shield and kill any ship that leaves your base, making the game completely unplayable…but that’s not bullying apparently! It’s a horrible toxic environment if you choose to do anything other than what the big alliances allow you to, but if they break the rules it’s just laughed off. Scopely care only about money and the players who spend the most of it.NdowmgyuebfkboeVersion: M51.2.0

✓ Decent game ruined by developer’s optimization for making you payI downloaded this game hoping for a nice mobile version of Stellaris in the Star Trek universe and it is a decent version of that, I guess. You get to build and level up a star base and manage and level up your ships and crew. The MMO aspect isn’t terrible, although you seem to get ganked a lot if you leave your ship outside of your station when you’re not logged in. The problem is that playing it is like watching the home shopping network because you can’t do anything without having to click through a way to pay more money to reduce the pain of progression. Every resource either costs money or is in a random loot box so there is no strategy for resource management other than just keep clicking (unless you want to pay to click less). All the new content is behind battle passes and loot boxes so all you can do to meet your goals is just keep paying. When I added up all the cost in micro transactions to make this more like a decent PC game, I’d have to pay many multiple times what I’d pay for Stellaris on PC in order to make this game enjoyable. I get that the devs need to make money but I’d much prefer a monthly subscription to a decent game over the constant begging and slot machine mechanics that mobile gaming has become. If I wanted to hang out in a casino I’d go to Vegas..CrankyWookieVersion: M55

✓ Don’t waste your time....I would give this less than a 1 Star if I could. On the surface, the game seems good. The concept of Star Trek is what got me to play. However, the game should have never gotten out of Beta. Most of the crew abilities don’t work, ship abilities don’t work, ships randomly blow up in space dock, ships jump out of warp with the “timer” off meaning you can’t do anything and you get blown up by hostiles resulting in wasting resources... need more resources, no problem you can BUY them. When Scopely bothers to push updates, they roll back the power of your ships and base. What does this mean, BUY more stuff to get back the power you already paid for. Silver lining, APPLE has refunded many, many people some even 100%. However, even though you get a refund for what you paid for that Scopely rolled back, Scopely will then kick you from the game, or reset your game back to day one and put you on a different sever with no way of changing servers. Mind you, they kick you even if you didn’t get 100% refunded, meaning they took your money. Their reason, you broke the terms of service... despite they negated your purchases in the first place precipitating the refund! Buyer be ware, Scopely has a horrible BBB rating and extensive complaints about this game and others. You would be better served buying a dead cat off the street to play with, it works better than this game..J MSW/PHDVersion: 2.0

✓ Game is going downhill fastI’ve been playing the game for over 3 years now and it’s clear that the developers don’t care about everyone enjoying the game despite their replies to other reviews. How can it be enjoyable to spend months upgrading your ships, research, crew and station only to have them utterly destroyed by a player 10 levels above you? Scopely suggest upgrading your ships etc but it simply isn’t possible without spending £1000’s in real money - it is geared towards these players and there is no repurcussion for them. If Scopely truly believe they don’t tolerate bullying or harassment they should narrow the pvp gap allowed, there are people on my server who constantly attack mid level players on a persistent basis which is basically bullying. Scopely don’t do anything about it apart from saying upgrade your ships etc. When I first started playing it was enjoyable and I felt that spending money on the game was worth it, in the last 6 months I’ve stopped spending money altogether as it would cost £1000’s to reach a level where I could provide a challenge for the bullies. Now I’m simply waiting for a replacement game to come along and when it does I will move over to that. Don’t even get me started on the multiple bugs that arrive with every update, this month is worse than usual with missions not being able to be activated among other bugs..Wasuup33Version: M60

✓ Still in the Alpha stage of developmentI love Star Trek and so I have been excited to jump in and play. I am probably about 30 hours into game play and while I really have enjoyed the concept but definitely missing the mark. There are consistent issues with glitches and bugs. Menus or buttons will break and you won’t be able to exit or interact with anything. Notifications will get stuck and you won’t be able to get rid of a badge even though you’ve already acknowledged it. After about level 10 you are able to attack and be attacked by other players. Which would seem exciting except for there are no natural barriers that separates players. So it doesn’t matter that you’ve advanced to a certain level, someone that is 3x your power can easily attack your ship and destroy it. You can also do the same to others. The challenge is if you’re trying to complete missions or mine resources it is inevitable that within a few minutes you will be attacked and destroyed. As your ships become more and more powerful it takes longer and longer for them to repair. So get ready to wait 30 minutes to an hour for your ships to rebuild every time you login. I could go on about the things that aren’t quite there but this game has wasted enough of my time. Overall, great concept and if you have a week to blow on this game then do it. After that you’ll prolly get bored of it like so many other players and delete the app..=FishCracker=Version: 1.7.2

✓ Fun until you reach the mid 20 levels.As with many mobile games, you won’t be surprised to learn that this game is built around a business model that encourages in app purchases. Scopely ease you in slowly with a few reasonable offers in their in-game store and you will be tempted. Once you level up to say 25 then requirements start getting silly as you need rare resources to progress both your base (Space Station) and ship. This ultimately is designed to slow you down, specially if you’re not regularly buying and willing to spend £40+ a month. Where this becomes a real issue and possibly unethical of the devs is that the game mechanics allow for other much higher level players to raid your base and steal your resources. Whilst shields are available in game to prevent PvP and raiding, you will at some point forget to activate them or they will bug out or real life will get in the way as it does. Why is this a problem? Let’s say you’ve spent £20, £30, £50 or whatever on an in-game purchase, those resources you just bought can and will be stolen from you by a player 10x your power level. The moment that happened was the moment I realised I’d messed up by being sucked in to the in-app purchase merry-go-round for very little progression and to feed other much higher level players. Don’t make the same mistake I did..VersattioVersion: 9.10.0.2

✓ Can’t open for some reasonI would really like to play but for some reason it gets stuck on the loading screen, I hope this gets fixed soon.._____ ('-') _____Version: M45.0.1

✓ Waste of time and money.260 day wait for a quality of life update, and all they did was add a few zeros to things, hasn’t addressed any of the issues raised numerous times by the community at large. Once you hit lvl 20 need to spend $100usd per month, lvl 30 goes up to weekly, just to keep moving forward. Game is designed purely to bleed credit cards and bank accounts. You want a ship that’ll be $450usd you want to upgrade it that’ll be $2500usd. Can play for free sure, that same ship will take 18 months of daily events to “almost” get enough parts to build. I have one ship that requires 3.2 million parts to upgrade one part of the ship out of 6 parts for a single tier up of the 9 tiers available. the daily grind take home is 35,000 parts so yeah. Or you can upgrade that one part for $100usd. Customer support is a joke, anything reported as a bug is either “working as intended” or “will pass a message along” will also respond anywhere from a few hours to a week later..NfC_TankVersion: 8.2.0

✓ GREED!!Unless you plan on spending thousands of dollars, skip this game. The developers like to gouge you for everything possible at ridiculous prices. Want a enterprise ship? You need 150 shards, which will take a year or so, but you can BUY them @ 15 for $140cdn ($100us). Even the ferengi arent this greedy!!.Kylareth DragusVersion: M58

✓ Nice but boy they need new serversA nice game but desperately needs new servers, as a new player been thrown into a 2 year old server with no option of relocating (as your in the newest server) you simply start the game 2 years behind everyone else. Your just too far behind to take it seriously 🤷‍♂️.A delight for whales...Version: M45.0.0

✓ Put serious time into the grind, one person takes allWas enjoying until station attacked for the first time. Same player attacked 46 times and took almost all the resources I’d accumulated since beginning the game. Kinda just wanted yo unlock the Discovery but that looks like it’s either gonna take 5 years or an average person’s annual salary. Now thinking should’ve put more time into Duo Lingo or looking up in general still a great TV show. Here’s to the heroes that spent $$$ on this game to prey on casual freeloaders that get sucked in thinking the hours of Station defence research actually protects you..Esturrico'sVersion: M25

✓ Pay to win is a realityThis game is fun, it’s a lot of fun. Cool missions, easy game play. I got to level 22, and now I realize it’s a complete pay to win system. Most games you can put in more time and actually compete. I’ve spent 45 dollars on this game and I’m still WAY behind the big guns. I thought I could grind it out, but it’s impossible. They offer massive upgrades that you can buy. They call these prime upgrades. And at the higher levels they are basically impossible to obtain. And it’s not just a small bonus. The bonus is like, double all ship damage for 20-50 dollars. And technically it’s possible to grind your way there, but i calculated that at a 20% drop rate for a rare mineral, and a 12 hour clock it would take a year to get one of these upgrades. And it doesn’t stop there by a long shot. You can pay to upgrade your officers and there is no limit. So people do it. I’ve heard of people dropping well over 1O,000 dollars for these crazy ships and crews. It’s just not fair. I’m all for paying for something’s, the game has to make money, but this game allows the ultra rich to absolutely dominate. I can’t blame them it’s a business, but they do not cap it. So I’m done. The game is actually a business and it’s not worth your time because people will just destroy your base, take your resources and there is nothing you can do about it. Well there is something you can do and it’s she’ll put some serious money..AguynamedmikebVersion: 9.5.0

✓ Good game but full of bulliesReached lvl 20 but got hammered by a higher player level with my station attached 26 times even though I had my shields up. Wrote to the developers about this anomaly, no reply. guess the opponents are in game paying players with me being a small time player. Quitting now, no use continuing if continuously gonna be hammered with no recourse. Resources collection is a time consuming process and your ships get hit all the time. IN short this game is for peeps with deep pockets only.Tyler0110101010Version: 9.0.1

✓ Corporate Greed v.s Great GameThe base game is great, but the Scopely is by far the worst developer in the industry! Starting the at least my current bug which hasn’t been fixed where my Discovery special ability no longer works (just get an error), which if i didn’t spend $$ on would be fine realistically if you want to get ahead its the only way. But how much do you need to spend? Realistically even the most frugal players are spending $30 per month & still take years to progress, if you want to progress, start thinking thousands!!! If this game was run by EA or Activision or any other good developer it would still cost you but not nearly as much & there would be no bugs. An example, the ship you want to get is the Enterprise, Scopely values this at over $900! Great game which is slowly getting ruined by corporate greed!!.Gibbo!TG123456Version: M49.2.0

✓ Great game heavily pay to winI love this game but unless you’re willing to £1000 a month to ensure a decent progression, it slowly starts to stagnate. Even the algorithm recognises when you need certain materials and purposely refrains from providing them to you, so you have no choice but to spend. I understand the need to earn, but when committing money to the game, it should at least grant a little more leniency with required materials provided by the refinery. All to often does it recognise your need for a particular resource but refuses to provide the important one you need to progress on a particular milestone, yet provides a surplus for the other two. All too coincidental. Having spent close to £400 in the last few days, I simply have to draw the line and once again abandon a game l enjoy for a few months. People don’t have an endless source of money. And l earn a decent wage. It’s a shame..5aMue127Version: M53.0.1

✓ Work is needed.. way too bugged and problemsThis is an awesome game concept but with poor development and average support. Might be best for Scopely to loose rights and pass onto Supercell to continue development. Don’t know much about these gaming development houses but COC works better than this...Seems they might fix the game better, with hundreds of bugs and errors. Officer abilities not working, PvP gameplay not working, scoring and notification errors, research problems and miscalculations, refining issues, broken missions, rewards are poorly aligned to levels, expensive purchases, misleading information, no accountability for returns or purchase errors, scopely blaming iPhone and network for their bugs and problems, the list goes on and on... if the game could work properly.. would be probably the best game of the decade..Lebz321Version: M25.1.1

✓ Not happy!!New update has meant that I have to retrain all my officers upgrade my station and ships then manually collect everything again. I know also have to re do all the missions. I have also lost all my peace shields.LvrbleVersion: 1.6

✓ Mediocre pay to playGame has the same latency/lag/crash issues as it did a year ago. Pay to play and developers do what they can to handicap free to play players and people who may not pay as much. Most recent issue is “burning” ability getting nerfed/handicapped. Also I always buy a battlepass which is a cheaper way to participate in events. Some how with all the other glitches that occur in game it swapped it for a points pack for the current event. I was asking for it to be corrected and after 3 days of back and forth with customer service I got told I got the wrong pack.... when I purchased it, it was a battlepass pack, not a points pack. Just ignored my issue to force me to purchase more and not fix the issue. Same day I made the purchase there were so many problems that delayed the update for iOS which I wonder contributed to the incorrect product showing as my purchase. Peace shields randomly drop before the time is up which protects your station from losing resources and encourages you to purchase more from the developer. Game is purposely flawed to favor “errors” in game play to make you pay to play. After over a year of playing these issues remain and new issues have been added to game play. Friendships made in game are the only thing keeping me playing..Hells bells 151Version: M26.0.1

✓ Waste of time and moneyI enjoyed the game immensely, until I realized the only way to participate fully was to spend AT LEAST $250 USD a month on ships and officer shards. If you go "free to play", the higher level "Whales" (big spenders - >$1000 USD/month) will make your game play miserable by repeatedly blowing up your ships and laughing at you. Signed, DreadPirateGarak, Ops 42, Server 84..Omegabyte777Version: M59.1

✓ It’s all about your bank balanceI was looking forward this game and started day one. Everything was fun for a while until you begin to realise how monotonous it really is. Most of these RPG type games work on the premise of collecting 3 different types of resources to build yourself up. Not this game, it’s 6. But wait, it’s not even that simple, you have to refine. And it gets worse, you can only refine a certain amount every 9 hours and what you put in, you’ll get a very small amount back. Once you progress to later levels, the more you’ll need and the longer it will take. It could be days refining because of the limitations. Of course, this is where the title of this review comes in...your bank balance. If you have loads of money to throw at the game, like some already have, then you’ll do great. To be fair, it’s the only way you’ll progress in this game past about lvl20. Not just that, but to get a better crew, which makes the major difference to your ships power, you’ll need to spend money. I’ll guarantee, unless you’re throwing loads of cash at it, you’ll hate it in a couple of months. This is by far, the worst RPG to be made, with very little thought given to player but more about how much the company can make.EmotionalvampireVersion: 2.01

✓ Not happyThis game is made for unemployed people who have all day to mine resources, but can’t afford to pay for upgrades lol. I keep opening the game to see if it gets better because if no one played the game you wouldn’t have a viable one. Fingers crossed for an improvement, wouldn’t dare hold my breath, for the time would come when there isn’t any time left! Speed it up Scopely! Please I’ll even get down on my hands and knees... and like so many others I would have a minus * for you Too bad it’s not like eBay I may say, 5* for concept, 5* just for being Star Trek, 1* for value, and minus 10* for time wasted!!.AppdoutVersion: 1.7

✓ Great game . Expensive thoughI had this game and thoroughly enjoyed it. I found it was too slow as a free to play but decided to start spending some money on it. This was great and was advancing quickly..then the problem came ...I found then when people attack your stations they loot all your stuff. So for example I spend £48 on a pack and within 25 hrs I had been attacked and essentially lost all the money. Now you do get free shield rewards every so often and can buy shields too..but buying shields would be a small fortune each week to get the 1 day shields. Anyway because you always get the 8 hr shields for free this is great but unless you can be awake every 8 hrs to put them on ..they don’t really work ..my shields were down for about 10 mins and lost everything in that time. Game uninstalled as didn’t want to be tempted to spend more and lose it again..DraycottVersion: 2.1

✓ Latest update adds too much maintenance junk to the gameShould have a toggle to disable incursions vs forcing ppl to move bases and apply shields. Everything done to encourage spending on shields and other $$$ things. Not much done on other “improvements”.OxymoronerVersion: M44.3.0

✓ Unfair game setupUnderstand every game needs p2w player, but this game make free to play or low spender player becomes prey only. No chance to even slightly challenge high level player. In their TC section, a level 50 player can literally hit on level 1 player. Unbelievable. So new joiner, if you like to only become prey then do join and play.Ace99999999Version: M29.0.0

✓ Players bewareThis is another game that is actually worse than the pay to win games you hear about. Developer greed has hit an all new low. This game is PAY TO PLAY. You literally cannot advance in the game unless you spend money. There are pay walls everywhere in the game. Yes, a talented player can bypass some of them, but as you level up there are just more and more of them. And those players willing to drop thousands of dollars for a single level upgrade will just destroy you. The entire game is designed to take your money. You will think initially it is not so bad and what you bought seems useful. It is not unless you continue to spend and spend in ever increasing amounts. If you are naive like me and contact support they will tell you they didn’t intend for it to be like this, but let’s face it, the game wouldn’t be here if they didn’t want it like this. So very sad as I was looking forward to a good space game..Mveen3Version: 1.7.2

✓ Not FairThis game is really good...until a more powerful player attacks your home base and takes from you in a few minutes what has taken you weeks of grind to accumulate. And you cannot even get revenge on them. Yeah not very fair....Hame2uVersion: 7.9.3

✓ Gave upDid really enjoy this game, built a strong alliance up to top 20 alliances in the world...but... The game is inequitable - as level 25, I can be hit by lvl 30, approx 3-10 times stronger than me, with zero chance of defence. Mining is pointless as all mines armed just taken by people who are lower level but stronger than you? It just doesn’t make any sense - if you want to spend money then go ahead, but without spending stupid amounts you wont achieve much. Any upgrades become so ridiculous taking over a week for some, then you need 60k of this resource but only produce and store 50k, so you either buy it or mine it - you cannot mine as you just get raided constantly. If you can spend literally hundreds of thousands or live with a perpetual shield up, then great, go for it/. When events are on some systems become stupid, and you cannot participate. I gave up trying as its all about big guys hitting the smaller players and whining little players who complain about neon existent rules and agreements that make no sense (supposedly no hitting undercapacity mining ships but how do you tell because you cant know as there is no clear way of knowing!) If you want to spend hundreds of pounds and spend every day dealing with messages from other players whining about people playing the game, then feel free - helps if you speak Russian or Chinese too as the majority of powerful players are from these countries.MSJbooVersion: 7.8.1

✓ Same price, different reward.Fun game but beware which server you land on. The company charges the same price for resource packs, ship packs, monthly packs etc, however what you get for that price can be two thirds less than what you would get on an older server. In addition to this, there is a loot box element where you don’t know what you will get and number of that you will get. All up this variable return for same cost outlay is disgraceful and I would recommend you consider paying for anything in the game until it is fixed..No. 1 CriticVersion: 9.8.1

✓ The worst kind of mobile gameThis is one of those truly awful Pay to Win types of games. If you’re not willing to invest at least a thousand dollars or more into the game, don’t even bother playing. Every thing there is to do in the game is designed to frustrate you into spending money. Building onto your station? There are 40 or so station pieces for you to build and level up, something that takes upwards of 30 hours and a ridiculous amount of resources (which, of course, are very hard to get in game, requiring mining at a node for 20-30 hours, during which time someone will just come and destroy your ship, because there’s no way you can babysit that node for 30 hours). And if you’ve actually managed to stockpile some resources at your base? Some “winner” who sunk a car payment into one of their special “paid” ships will come in with a single even levelled ship that somehow has more power than your entire station and steal everything you’ve spent months accumulating, with absolutely zero recourse. Even their monthly participation track (some call it a season pass, some a battle pass, etc), which most companies charge $20 for the paid rewards is an insane cash grab that costs $130 in this game. Seriously, don’t bother. You won’t find a worse game..Ka_baIVersion: M31.0.0

✓ Log on buggedOpened and ran fine for the first 24hours or so, now I can’t log on. Glad I didn’t spend any money on this game. 2 days still can’t log in. Day 3 and 4 still can’t log in. Over a week, still can’t log in. Time to delete.DreadNoughtRedeemedVersion: 7.3.1

✓ Don’t botherTypical pay to even try to play game. This game was fun at first but rapidly gets old. There’s a lot of emphasis on mining and its tedious. There’s no way to find out where the materials you need are without having to look through each system you’ve explored. A search option would have been nice. Once you find what you need you’ll likely get killed right away by some bully players that have deep pockets of real money. Then you wait for repairs and repeat. Mining takes forever and if you look away for 5 minutes you’ll likely get killed. Other missions get old too. Go to one place or kill one ship, then do it again and again. They had some interesting storylines, but in the end its the same thing over and over again while you waste tons of time just waiting for your ship to get where it needs to go, or stare at your screen while you mine and hope to get what you need before some player rolls up with a warship to easily kill your mining ship. I was hoping you could pick a faction to play for but you’re stuck being an independent and once you get high enough you can go near one of the empires, but thats probably after you get to level 15 or better. I played for a week and got to 14 hoping for more before the game got too annoying to put up with. I cannot wait for these types of games to go extinct..Skyknight78Version: 1.7.3

✓ Further and further descent into blind money grabbingLet’s get this straight from the start; I completely understand that a gaming company has bills to pay and being able to pay those bills is how they continue to develop games. This is a fact of life, and this game chooses (a model I prefer) paid expedited progression over ad-bombs. However, over the last 12-18 months that shift from expedited progression to sheer pay-to-play has reached a climax this month with an arc that 50% of the events and activities are paywalled. There is now no longer a paid expedited progression so much as just paid participation; after a first half of the year which has been beset with disappointing releases, infuriating issues and poor handling of valuable player feedback this really does feel like the death-knell of the game. Scopely, your knee is well and truly on our neck. Their understanding of “carrot, not stick” is completely out of kilter and their whole approach seems to be to throw paid community managers and volunteer community helpers to placate the players rather than listen to them. Please, if you’re downloading this game then do so knowing you’re doing so for what it can be, and not what it is right now. Right now it is a soul destroying, money grabbing horror story of what the gaming industry can do at it’s worst..MikeLarwoodVersion: M45.0.0

✓ Worst Dev’s Ever!The Game is not fun to play. It is full of game breaking glitches and bugs. It is a money grab. Total P2W garbage. An insult to the Star Trek franchise. At least with Star Trek Timelines the devs give compensation to players as appreciation for patiently waiting for bugs to be fixed. Customer support is insulting and demonstrate a lack of appreciation for the patience of their player base while waiting on bugs to be fixed. Many instances of lost progress with no compensation offered even for those who have spent real money. This is not a game, it is a rigged barely playable carnival level ripoff machine. Do not support garbage like this..Youputwhatinthewherenow?Version: 1.7.3

✓ BS gameWas enjoying this game until it became a free-for-all. Can’t mine or do missions - everyone just wipes you out - ships are useless and you’ll spend all your time waiting for repairs. If you do spend any money (and I strongly discourage that!) then typical Scopely make sure you get nothing for your buck - I made 3 purchases and didn’t get enough to recruit 1 officer! And then I made 1 big purchase, and once again got nothing!!! I tried signing up on various offers for “free” latinum, and didn’t get any rewards as promised either - major rip off & scam - avoid this game..Dumb suckerVersion: 1.7.3

✓ Terrible game!This game is as flawed as the human race! To called it a Star Trek game is insulting the franchise. Glitches, crashes and just plane system issues every single week. Even when running normal you are constantly reloading into systems so the nodes or hostiles will populate. Or just restarting the whole game hourly so it will actually work. And that’s just the playability issues. Don’t get me started on the game play. Don’t waste your time or money playing this game..GlengimenVersion: M61.2

✓ Terrible and toxic money spinnerThe toxicity in this game is astounding sometimes. Some players may get lucky on servers with less issues but on mine and from reading on other discords the level of abuse, racism, homophobia, bullying, hate, toxicity, etc. being banded throughout the chat and in pms is disgusting. There is a report function however nothing ever comes of it, even with raising to customer service with screenshots there is no action taken. The gameplay is designed to encourage and reward bullying action because it simply shells drive the sale of the packs for the new content that is being added at a rate that can not be kept up with unless you are prepared to spend literally thousands of pounds a month. Just when you think you are ready to catch up on some buildings and research yet another whole tree of research is launched with all the levels needed to be done to bring it up to the player level you have reached while the spenders happily drop thousands of pounds (no exaggeration!) Don’t waste your time unless you have money to burn and really like Star Trek themed imagery.Thecraig1982Version: M44.4.0

✓ Abhorrent Customer SupportI contacted apple about the developers micro transaction policy. My son whom is the actual player of this game, had accidentally purchased multiple packs because, as I found though research, when you tap on an item to “build” in game or whatever it says “speed up” with no confirmation dialogue or anything it simply uses in game purchase able currency. What’s worse, you can tap on one item out of a list of 4 and the menu randomly jumps between items after a tap. So you could accidentally purchase multiple different things when intention was to get one. My son ended up getting 3 of the packs this way. I contacted the developer because APPLE DOES NOT CONTROL in app microtransactions. The developers do. After literally 25 separate emails of the developer saying “We can’t it has to be refunded though apple” and me replying to them with apples app policy and apples emails saying it’s developer controlled I am now here. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS GAME. The company is now on my list of fKd up developers. Shady practice jumping menu items around to get players to waste money. Especially since they clearly know that this is the case which is why they feign understand and try to redirect you to apple support. If I worked at Apple I would delist this application and all others from this developer. It makes a terrible reflection on Apple as a company for allowing this crap to go on..Ax5645Version: 7.3.1

✓ Do you have cash to burn?Have you got boat loads of cash lying around? If so this could be the game for you. Possibly one of the worst pay to wins you will come across. Sure progress is easy on the early levels (getting you drawn into the game). Then later on you find out the resources and raw materials you need to progress become harder to find and a lot more of it is required. Want a cool star ship like the enterprise? Forget about it. Do you like Star Trek? Nobody cares if you do or you don’t, just give me your money. Want to buy resources for real money that someone with bigger pockets than you will steal? No problem this can be arranged. Want a game you can play a couple of hours a day and chill out and have a good time. Forget about it, you’ll need to spend every waking minute doing challenges to get peace shields to defend your base so no one can take your stuff. Surely only a matter of time before games like this have to clean their act up. Someone somewhere is making money though eh....Max-Max23Version: 9.0.1

✓ Gave it a real tryI love everything Star Trek. I really tried this one. Got some coin out of me. Once this game gets into fleets it’s just not fun. Politics and blackmail. Bullying, homophobia, racism and lack of care from the company makes it a very horrible place to game. The over powered pay to win players make it impossible to move forward. The game is very glitchy and slow. Often you don’t get your rewards. I work frontline in a Covid isolation unit for the homeless,vicarious housed, refugees and substance users. I deal with the worst of humanity on a daily basis, games like this really help me to unwind. Yet this one, the players I have met are meaner and more disgusting in social interactions than any I have met before. I am going to look up this companies other games and ensure I don’t ever download anything if there’s again. If I could get a refund I would..CosmicMattyVersion: 9.5.0

✓ SCOPELY CONDONES BULLYING-AVOIDBasically a whale (big spender) out spends everyone on the server, becomes a giant troll, muscles out anyone they don’t like. I’ve played for 2 years and have spent quite a bit myself, yet any messages to Scopely about bullying are ignored. They are allowed to do as they please. I had a great community of friends that I spent time playing the game with and spent time with outside of the game. Now a good portion of those have quit and I’m on the edge of quitting. I do know I won’t be buying any more of their ridiculously expensive $100 packs. They are expensive and you don’t get much. They will offer blueprints for a new ship but it would cost $2000 in real money to get it quickly or it will take months in game to earn it. As you are trying to grow, you’re getting bullied from the whales as they have a 112M power ship and you may have only 2-3M power ship. Scopely allows the lopsided advantage so it is no fun in the PvP aspect of the game. Then there is the constant game chat bullying from trolls that, even when reported with screenshots of wildly inappropriate behaviour, NOTHING HAPPENS. Sometimes a troll gets an 8 hour ban. Then they come back madder than ever and bully people more. It is a toxic soup that a true Trek fan should absolutely avoid. Server D35 AVOID. On top of it all, if you start looking around reviews and Reddit, you’ll find this is what happens on EVERY server..EfjfvjuVersion: M37.1

✓ Online bullying is encouraged by scopelyThis game can be fun and a welcome diversion at first. However the game designers have encouraged an environment that promotes bullies. The bullies in the top alliances continuously raid bases and destroy the miners of players and alliances that have no chance of fighting back. When you are bullied the game designers want you to become enraged and buy packages for ship and base upgrades so you can ‘defend’ yourself. What you don’t realize is that these packages cost $100 and will only give you enough to sometimes level something up. You still can’t defend yourself against rich people who dump thousands of dollars into their account to stay more powerful than honest players. Oh and there is also the fact that if you buy upgrade packages, the abusive players can steal that from you too. I was a hardcore player for several months and I spent nearly $1000 on packages and upgrades. I was planning my sleep schedule and social schedule around the game and when it would be safe for my account for me to step away for a few hours. I reached level 23 and I was fairly strong for my level. However, I still couldn’t compete with players that spend thousands of dollars on the game, and I was just cannon fodder or a cash cow for the in game bullies to steal from. I walked away from the game and deleted it from my devices; I’m much happier now. TLDR: Don’t bother downloading this game..TribbleTrouble357Version: 7.4

✓ This game is beyond trashIf you want to feel inferior to those with money, feel free to download this game. If you want to be attacked by people of 5+ levels above you without recourse, download this game. But if you don’t want stress over extreme drama, and a failure of a game in your life; then DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!!! If you like being attacked by folks 5+ levels higher than you; if you don’t like fairness in what seems to be a simple base builder and strategy game. Basically if you want to avoid paying to win. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!!! The only improvement they’ve made is on graphics, regardless of the NUMEROUS people requesting level attack updates and other changes. Basically, if you want to hate your life becAuse devs fail to act... download this game. If you like being killed over and over and over and over and over agin by higher level people. Download this game. If you like trying to attack people 4 levels below you that you ultimately cant, even though you got attacked yesterday by someone 4 levels higher than you, then this cash grab is the monetary waste for you. If you’ve read through this and still downloaded, you are a waste of life. Words can not sway you, and not can facts. You must support trump’s failure of a presidency. If that’s the case PLEASE DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. For all others. Please avoid this, for your own sake..ChadmanVersion: 8.1.0

✓ A health hazard of a game that only wants your moneyApart from the myriad of issues with this game (including the constant bugs, lack of stability and ever increasing cash grabs), the recent update includes a bug which has been inducing seizures in multiple players, including myself. The employees paid to manage the community openly ignore any comments about this and allow other players to engage in mockery about it. I would say this is low even for scopely, but they’ve had a known system with a similar issue for years and done nothing about it..Erin JosephineVersion: M60.0.1

✓ DISAPPOINTED!!!I love STFC and have played for over 2 years. I have been becoming increasingly upset. The prices on their cash packs are $99 dollars. I rarely buy anything because it's ridiculous. Now today after launching a new arc Scopely has decided to inactivate an officer that we have had since the beginning because they had a glitch and it was really helping us so they inactivated her so that we can’t use her anymore to really help us and enjoy the game. This officer has been around since day one but because it’s really helping the players without having to buy with money other officers that are new. It’s just really disappointing that it seems like all Scopely cares about is our hard earned dollars. Yesterday when they rolled out the new Arc it was broken since the minute it was put up and then they had to take hours before it would come back up but still it’s sucked. I’m sorry but I wouldn’t recommend anyone to put a penny into this game Anymore. It's just a travesty and I guess they really don’t care about their player base and wouldn’t care if we left but I know I am going to socket to them where it hurts the most and that is their greedy pockets. I feel bad for the underlings that work for the company Cause I’m sure that they will be blamed for this whole fiasco. So no more of my money Scopely if I want to spend I’ll take it somewhere else I work too hard for my money and y’all are just greedy and ridiculous..OnenotofthisworldVersion: M46.0.0

✓ Pay to WinSo this game has serious issues woth duality. On on hand it is likely the best star trek game made. The content is deep and grows significantly each new arc. On the other as many before have stated it is pay to play. Not a few bucks here and there, a get a 2nd mortgage on your house kind of cost. Big whale players spend 250,000 and more to stay in leaderboards. Medium players spend upwards of 700 to 1000 dollars a month just to try to stay strong enough to defend against whales who litterally go around bullying smaller players and making up thier own rules. There is a free to play option. I have been playing almost 4 years and im a mid tier player. Free to play players and 17 levels below me and whales are 13 levels higher than me. My expenses to stay relavant have been consistently 700 per month and in pvp i lose more than i win. The time it takes to grow is rediculous and the cost in game items takes a month or more to just get one lvl higher is your spending. If your not it can take 4 months to get up a level by mid level 30s. Play at your own risk. This game is fun but this game does everything possible to get you to spend. My advice, dont bother. There are other games on computer online with just as much content that is not geared to grab money from the filthy rich..ZaxiusiiVersion: M52.1.0

✓ Be warned, good game, but terrible stability issues.I’ve enjoyed this game for the last year and I’ve tolerated it for the other half. Unfortunately I feel after 6 months of consistent lag, disconnects every 10 min, crashes every 5-15 min I must warn everyone against currently investing time or money into this game. As the problems have gotten progressively worse over the past 6 months not better, with no end in sight. Almost unplayable. I’m not sure about other devices but I’m surprised this application is actually allowed to be put on apple store as it is functionally broken. In the past 6 months have seen 6 long term players who spent big money and time leave in just our alliance due to the never ending bugs, lag and crashes. And these are players who have spent 1000s of dollars on this game. Only reason why I’m sticking with it for now is because of the time already invested hoping for this to change..Bianca112211Version: M40.1

✓ Unplayable for meConstantly crashes when trying to engage in pvp, or do anything at all from the “system” viewpoint. Contacted tech support several times. They say they know about the issues and are working on a fix, although month after month of patches and it’s still not a stable game. Only play this game if you’re willing to drop money in every month. It is an impossible (and very boring / repetitive) grind otherwise. I don’t mind spending money on something I’m going to spend hundreds of hours playing. But it has to not crash every 5 minutes. I wish I could get a refund at this stage but it’s probably pointless..JhfddfhVersion: 9.0.1

✓ The lack of community control spoils the gameThe game itself is a reasonably successful, albeit predictable, reskin of generic base builder guild battle games. The appeal is the franchise, but all of this is wasted because the game is actually unplayable due to the extremely toxic community which the devs do nothing about. All the worst elements of trolling and griefing exist here to spoil your experience, including exploiting bugs like hiding behind other clickable objects to harass miners. Despite it clearly not being intended implementation, the devs do nothing, or are unable, to fix it. Stay away, it will annoy you to play it - the team of devs is unable to keep up..1erCruVersion: 2.01

✓ Cash grab.You will literally only progress to a level 15 before you are forced to pay. Mining resources naturally will takes weeks and then you’ll have to be refined for common and uncommon ore, gas, and crystal. It’s odds of getting uncommon(s) is what gets you. After one batch which will take you at least 5 days from mining to refinement you might get 4 and your will require 10x that to upgrade one of several systems on a ship. This game sounds good on the cover, but the developer will only let you progress if you spend major money. It’s a complete joke and I’m hooked.... You will put months of play into this game and then you’ll hit a wall that will require $30.00 to get over. And that’s for just 1 of the 50 levels in the game. If you have $1000.00 bucks kicking around to complete the game then go for it. If not take a pass..LeasonVersion: 1.7.3

✓ Timers and more timersIf you like a game with a lot of timers ! This is for you! You don’t do any starship battles. They are automated. But you get to build and wait ... build and wait... the characters are just bonus to your auto starship battles. Also you get click then wait for the timer. Click wait for timer..FunyapptoplaywithyoukmowVersion: 1.7.3

✓ Toxic player baseI enjoyed the game right up to the pvp component. The player base instantly became toxic and abusive towards others including myself which made the game far to difficult to enjoy. Reporting went nowhere..GrilledpickleVersion: 9.5.0

✓ Not worthy of Star Trek titleThe game starts out nicely for the first twenty levels, the missions and stories draw you in like a Star Trek episode. However it’s easy to get caught up in progression fever and spend hundreds on that “Elite” Ship or more resources to speed your progression up. That ship you just dropped all that money on is useless unless you upgrade it. To do that you’ll spend more money just to bump it a level (repeat ad nauseam). That wonderful PvE experience you were enjoying? Forget it. It’s Whale eat plankton now. Don’t you dare speak out against the RoE or the alliances will have tantrums and demand you knuckle down and adhere to the unofficial but sacrosanct Rules of Engagement (without them there will be Anarchy: the powerful whale players say so). You are expected to knuckle down and pay homage to the Mafia families. You will be bullied, threatened and intimidated into capitulating to these so called rules. This isn’t a Star Trek game it’s a mafia simulator..SoullessFlyerVersion: M63

✓ Game is NOT Star TrekBiggest problems are that the game is designed to be a predatory, player-eat-player mess. Players that shell out hundreds of dollars will always be able to beat you up and take your resources. Bases are upgradeable to ‘protect’ some of your resources, however the amount is extremely small and only a fraction of what you actually need to save up to do upgrades. If you want to keep people from raiding you, you have to shell out money to buy ‘peace shields’. Also, stupidly, you can’t use several smaller shields at once to have a longer shield, so your 1 hour and 4 shields are useless because you can’t cover a night of sleep or a work day with them. It only takes a few MINUTES for people to raid you and loot all your stuff, so even small gaps in protection will ruin you. Advancement is impossibly slow unless you shell out tons of cash. Upgrading officers and ships will literally take years without shelling out for multiple $99 bundles. Unlocking the base faction ships is doable with many months of farming, but anything above that will take you YEARS to unlock. Keep in mind that the resources you need to upgrade your bases and level are the same resources that upgrade your ships, so you can’t do both. So...years to upgrade base, then years to unlock a ship, then years to UPGRADE the ship. Gaining levels actually HURTS you in many ways. Quests you could complete yesterday are now impossible because the level of your target ships goes up..InsertnaneVersion: M44

✓ Don’t botherFull of bugs. I stopped sending lists of bugs and recommendations after repeatedly receiving the standard, “We’ll look into it” response. Dull quest line with poor rewards. Combat is almost non existent and the rewards seem completely random. No sense of accomplishment from upgrading or researching. Character, ship, base and player progression are completely uninspiring. Open PvP is messy and pointless. The interface and display is bafflingly confusing, requiring you to dig deep into unrelated sub menus to get to where you want to be. The lack of a proper “home” button or decent dashboard display means you need to hit the back button so much you’ll start to worry about straining your finger. I quit after level 12..HarmonkeyVersion: 1.7.2

✓ Pvp brackets ruin fun*update to previous review* learning to protect yourself can solve some of the issues stated previously but Scopely allows and seems to encourage bullying. System constraints that allow player groups to literally *block* players from getting into defend their own territory. Power disparity forces people to purchase more as a team of 3 heavy spenders can easily hold off dozens of f2p or lower spending average players. Server mergers reduced what had become a peaceful and enjoyable format into a brawl mentality that forces nonspenders out of the game. Scopely allows the strife and bullying and hate speech even when brought to them. Their report system seems to do nothing and their ticket system is user unfriendly and limits your ability to report.** Been having a great time with the game until hitting level 20. Within 12 hours of that, I got cleaned out. People that 4 levels higher than me can attack. 20% higher in player level but 500% my power level. Weeks with of saving gone in less than an hour because a timed shield ran out. There is no way to combine shields to longer periods. There is no way to opt out of pvp. I spent money on this game (something I rarely do) because it felt like there was value to it but the pvp system completely ruined it as soon as I hit this range. I can’t justify another dime.MightyNeinVersion: M53.1

✓ Beware your peace shieldsPlayed this game for a year, one thing you need to be careful of is making sure you keep your peace shield up otherwise your base will be emptied by other players. However I recently found out this isn’t guaranteed, the scopely server had a glitch and didn’t register my shield been activated. Scopley told me I was mistaken and won’t refund the lost resources due to a glitch on their end. Don’t bother playing this game, months of play can be lost due no fault of your own and Scopely won’t care..Player30571Version: M38.2

✓ Beware Scopley OverlordsSo if you get banned it’s up to you to prove that you didn’t do anything wrong even though you have no access to the game. If you are brave enough to disagree with the developers and try and push back you will see your ban increased to twice as long for daring to stand up for your rights!.RhymecasterOGVersion: M28.1.0

✓ Constant attacksWhile mining, especially things like dilithium which is hard to find an empty mining spot so you sometimes have to attack a miner, you find players who have probably paid to upgrade will kill you just for the sake of it within seconds of you starting to mine. It’s not like they are doing it to access the mining spot or they wait until you have mined enough for them to benefit from stealing your cargo when you die. That and glitches like ships stuttering when coming to the end of a move so they repeat the last bit of the journey a number of times. Almost like a repeated rewind and replay. Sometimes you get stuck in this strange loop until you stop the game and restart it. The latest problem I have is my level 20 phindra won’t let me upgrade the weapons because it insists I only have 30 out of the required 31 2 star crystals when I have a lot more and can upgrade the other systems. So I’m stuck at level 20 with my phindra. Maybe warning you that you are being scanned might give you a chance to warp away when someone is about to attack you while mining. Unless of course the other player is so powerful they don’t have to scan you before attacking because they have paid to upgrade so much. That or limit the number of attacks on miners per day or per system and day. Now the latest couple of updates have caused the game to crash every few button presses so it’s almost impossible to play with the constant crashes to desktop..0murph0Version: 7.5.4

✓ Do not recommend this gameI do not recommend this game unless you’re a millionaire this game is based on the fact you have to spend a lot of money or be a moderator and get free stuff from Scopely, and if you have a problem in the game don’t expect them to help you it would take years for them to help you. And you need to be over 18 because the language in this game is not acceptable for anyone under the age of 18 they allow the people to use bad language if they’re a moderator if you’re not a moderator you’re not allowed to use bad language if you’re a moderate are you allowed to use bad language. Moderator allowed to abuse bully other players in the game even if they’re 11 years old..P2henVersion: 9.9.3

✓ Don’t play with this gameI bought 2-3 packs at first but it's not enough. too many players are overpowered and it is impossible to mining without destroying our ships. even when one has tried hard enough to collect enough minerals, refining gives very little result. being able to improve the strength of a ship is an almost impossible task. the most frustrating is that it increases the addiction to this game because we hope that it will work. do not play this game anymore.DeBrugeVersion: 7.2

✓ Awful experienceThe developers are running before they can walk. Avoid this game for several months after release, and they may have come up with a decent product..GreyflanksVersion: 1.6

✓ Very funOverall, the game is surprisingly really fun to play. That being said, only to a certain extent. While oneself plays the game, they will notice as they level up build times will be come really long. I myself noticed this myself. Once a player has reached the levels of 17 and above, building times become more than a day or a few. This is ridiculous if you only have one building operation. That means you would have to wait a day or a few just to build something else!!! I wish the creators of the game would present an alternative solution to this matter. In addition, due to the game being really fun, I have spend real currency on this game. But here is the downfall, I recently purchased the station pack and ship pack for $5 usd each. I was expecting that this was an offer for the whole time but it was not. Every time the consumer purchase a pack, it presents another offer. Once I purchased the station pack and ship pack, the game presented the advanced ship pack and advanced station pack. The one problem with these packs was that they were not $5 usd anymore but instead $20 usd each this time. This ridiculous!!! Why couldn’t the creators just keep the $5 packs ? $20 is such a huge jump in a price!! That’s same price someone could spend on a actual console game. I hope the creators notice this problem..BennydejetVersion: 1.7.3

✓ Starts strong finishes weak, poor serviceDo yourself a favor. Read the reviews, the star levels are pumped up, do the math. I have deleted this app. When I first started the game There were only a few bugs and had more than enough resources to help build. As with any strategy game when you progress resources become more scarce. Today there are more bugs that cause the game to glitch or just quit and when it does you lose all your hard earned Dilithium for no reason. I notified their customer service twice with no response. Once you pass level 9 it is next impossible to mine Dilithium And Other raw elements to help you build your ships upgrade your supplies and materials and station. I am at level 14 and won’t go beyond because once you go to level 15 then your station can be regularly attacked by others. The problem with is that just about everybody is subject to trolls. You can’t mine for minerals longer than five minutes before somebody is fighting with you and killing you. To keep up with everyone you need to buy upgrades. It starts out cheap at $5 but after you buy one or two you can only buy$25 items, then later only $50 items are available. If you ever watch the advertisement on TV the play of the game is nothing like that, you don’t see any video clips or epic battles. The commercial has nothing to do with the game. I started out enjoying the game now it just not worth playing. Don’t waste your time unless you got money to burn..Delivery ErrorsVersion: 1.7.4

✓ STFC reviewThis game had the potential to really be a fun play through and a good way to connect with people. Being in an alliance, growing your base and becoming a better player are all things that are achievable through this game. With that being said, there is a complete disconnect between the players and the developers/leaders of this game. So much time and care seems to have been put into creating this game that there obviously is a high level of talent and ingenuity at Scopely. Those traits are not reflected in events and gameplay that affects users directly. Events are sloppily created with sometimes time excessive milestones to hit, server vs server battles are completely mismatched even though scopely has direct data to see where each group is at power wise, and the rewards and price point for goals and purchases are completely one sided in favor of the company. I played this game for about 8 months, became #14 in power rankings (yes I purchased a lot), and spent countless hours trying to make it make sense for me to keep playing. If scopely would have made the user feel more valued I would keep playing, but will never consider playing this game ever again due to these issues..9////Version: M57.1

✓ Hope you’re richThe concept of this game is actually really good. It’s just executed really badly. The bugs are one thing but the blatant need to pay real money to progress is quite another. If you are willing to sink thousands of dollars to have fun then this is the game for you. The most disappointing thing is that Star Trek lent its name to such a money making game..S E SamuelVersion: 1.7

✓ Scopely just out for money-greed drives them. True FerengiAuto generated refinery will go days without giving items needed to level up players, ships, station/base and research for the sextuple + places needed. This is not a game for people. It’a purely a money generating platform. Once to lvl 20 (easy/fast to get there w/o paying), games turns on you and it’s impossible to get any events completed or items/things mentioned above without paying for it. And at $159 for most- $79 for the lessor items (not 1 off-need multiple- on a regular basis), it’s not a game for Star Trek fans. It’s simply a way for you to lose money and feel taken in by scopely. Shame on this company..Heres a nickname okVersion: M40.1

✓ Very UnbalancedAll reviews that tell you that this game is amazing, fun, addicting and enjoyable are probably from people who sit in their house all day spending money, since playing games is probably all they do each day every day. So if you truly want to know what the game is like don’t rely on reviews. Play the game for a little bit and decide for yourself. The game is, for lack of any other word, neat and a time killer. Any game to claiming that they are very well “balanced” is feeding you propaganda. The only balanced games I come across are from companies that have been in business for more than a few years. Honestly if there is any balance in any PvP/PvE game you would have a separation of lower and higher levels, figurative not literal. To give a simple idea of one small unbalanced portion of this game, the developers allow higher levels players to attack and harass lower level players but it tells you when you are a lower level that you cannot attack the player since their level is too high. Well if a player is not allowed to attack a higher level then the higher level should not be allowed to attack you. This premise is PvP 101 stuff people get with it or find new programmers. Balanced? I think not! It’s a far cry of being called balanced, they’re in the business to make money. So don’t take my word for it, decide for yourself..Semi-ConsciousVersion: 8.0.3

✓ Great game ruined by horrible peopleFor a mobile game, the mechanics, design, scope and wealth of content is vast much like the Star Trek universe, but anyone’s experience can be ruined by salty basement dwelling little boys who whine in discord groups and then bully and gatekeep players they dislike from playing. If you want to play this game casually, don’t, you need to be lonely and dedicate roughly half your day grinding back materials stolen by malicious players and there are thousands and thousands of them per server, most of which fork out the dough to skip the grind of gathering resources to build star ships 100 times more powerful as yours, as well as talking to the other hundreds of alliances on these servers through discord groups constantly told to shut up and deal with it because one group holds themselves as high and mighty as the developers. It’s tragic really as there is so much potential and so much fun to be had here if these silly boys didn’t take it all so seriously and went outside for once..5bntVersion: M33.1

✓ Don’t bother getting on this ship. It doesn’t boldly, or go…The developers have created a game with standard MMO game mechanics. But haven’t bothered to fix the slow navigation, bureaucratic processes, and constant crashes. The game is slow between screens and super buggy. Too many screens, so many unnecessary screens, and between some of those screens, the game will freeze and have to be restarted. I had to work hard to play this game, games should be hard to stop playing. I spent my time; pressing buttons to get the rewards, and navigating between screens. So much so, I couldn’t play the game. The game events are too bite sized to get any flow going, and everything needs to be micro-managed. Rather than making decisions you are just responding to unnecessary predetermined events. Playing free is good to make progress but I only played for the one day, but the game is set up as a pay to play..HonestJohn987Version: M62.1

✓ Don’t bother with this gameThis hame is severely disappointing. In order to get anywhere you have to spend tons of money as they only have overpriced packages available in their store once you buy the smaller $6.99 ones they disappear and go from $14 to $27 to $70. Progress is painfully slow as research times are long, each batch of materials takes 9 hours to refine with no option to speed that up like everything else and because there’s either not enough resources to go around or people it’s just easier, people just go around destroying your mining ships before you get any significant amount of anything you need so to have any chance you’ve got to use your fighting or exploring ships to mine which takes even longer and sooner or later someone comes along and destroys those too! Plus when you do have enough ore, gas or crystal to make a batch you can go three or four batches (once again 9 hours each) without getting the “uncommon” type you need to upgrade your ships and even then it’s most often such a piddly amount that it takes forever just to upgrade one part which you have to do over and over again each time you upgrade all the parts on your ship and “tier up”. I haven’t upgraded to the level where stations can be attacked as I can only imagine the level of frustration that would add. This game is a joke. I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled it a couple of times and gave it another chance but now, I’m done!.RockincreepVersion: 1.7.4

✓ BoringThis game is boring, I wouldn’t have played it if it wasn’t Star Trek related. I couldn’t even do some of the quests because they weren’t explained and they didn’t have any solutions. It’s slow as hell and I only played it once every few days for about a week. 😐.Winter soldatVersion: 1.7.3

✓ Allows other players to steal your moneyThis is a well designed game, in that it encourages you to spend big bucks on In game purchases - but then enables other players to attack your stations and steal your purchased resources - In effect letting them steal your money. Makes money for the developer and license holder but rapidly becomes tedious when the more powerful players become even more powerful by stealing your hard earned resources. I’ve been playing for months and dropped a couple of hundred bucks and spent hundreds of hours trying to mine resources only to see them stolen - DONT BOTHER.Dr L BrazilVersion: 7.3.1

✓ This is not Star TrekThe developers have never seen Star Trek they are using the name to get people to download this trash. This a game about piracy and payed players and higher level players stealing from other lower level players. I’ve played the game for about 3 months and you need to pay money to play this game because mining is pointless when it’s faster to steal from other players unless you are on the game all the time to keep putting shields up your bace it will get attacked repeatedly until almost all you’re resources are gone. It only takes minutes to steal a month worth of mining. Just one look at the cost of thing thing this game you should know that it just a money grab and a shameful use of a franchise.Superjohn1Version: 2.1

✓ Non-stop glitches!I think Scopely must have hired the worst programmers in the history of video games! There is non-stop glitches and every time there’s new content added it gets worse, sometimes unplayable! Also, trying to access the online store through iOS is near impossible as the page freezes non-stop! For the amount of money they charge for in game items and how much people spend you would think this game would be near perfect, unfortunately this is far from reality!.MERC 026Version: M56

✓ Need a bank cardGreat game until you get to level 19 then it’s money money money. Lots of login issues as in you can’t login for hours and if your ships are out collecting res then once you finally login you have 3 dead ships. Login and you find your base has been attacked and your mails tell you that you were attacked by yourself... report it to the developers and get told “oh yeah this is a known issue” we are working on it and no compensation offered..Alpha399935Version: 2.1

✓ Greedy overrated garbageTitle pretty much says it. Been playing for a long time...then I realized how the developers only want your money. They have no interest in making a fun balanced game. It’s rigged to favor only players that spend large amounts of money. Any ship worth getting will cost real money and will be insane to level up and tier up the ships. Absolutely no direction with missions. I spend half my time looking up how to get to places missions send me...only to find out that the only way to proceed with some missions requires you to finish other event missions that aren’t even available. Forced PVP is what really kills the fun of this game. Hostile environment toxic bully players. Made up rules per server that if u don’t follow players will go out of their way to make u miserable. Once u hit level 25...everything is too expensive and far to much a boring grind. And for what? So u can get new ships that are only good for certain events...this game is a travesty...it’s greedy unbalanced garbage. If u value your sanity I recommend you find something else. This freemium game stuff needs to stop. Make a free game stay free of cost. The developers should be ashamed of themselves. And seeing how u never know what u may end up getting when u buy something...I don’t see how this isn’t considered gambling..Elric007Version: M28.0.0

✓ More like anti-Star TrekAfter investing almost 6 months into this game: don’t do it. The bugs are only balanced by the lopsided gameplay. If you are hoping for a fun F2P Star Trek experience you won’t find it here. The servers are stacked with many who have spent +10K who have vastly overpowered ships and will attack you and take your collected resources. Since players almost 10 levels above you can attack lower level players you have no recourse. Add to that the near constant racism, homophobia, and open bullying you find in the global chat are horrifying and go unchecked by the developers. CBS Interactive: you should be ashamed you labeled this Star Trek..PouvoirVersion: 7.3

✓ Don’t start this GameThis is a great game for a while. The Community is excellent and the only reason the game still exists. So, if you’re thinking about playing here’s some things to be careful of… 1. They gaslight you into spending real money( I spent a lot). It starts at small amounts but then if you want to compete or engage in new content it will cost you £100-£600 a month.. more if you want to be near the top. 2. Gameplay is engaging. However, after a while, you realise you are just clicking on different coloured triangles. New content is designed to get you to pay huge amounts of money to be bigger than the last player who attacked you. 3. I suspect the IT Platform this has been built on is badly designed so Scopely have little “scope” to innovate beyond the the original environment they created. That means there are huge issues and bugs with every new release. To sum up.. great game for a while, don’t get addicted like I was, don’t spend money. And join an Alliance, it’s the best part of the game and is free I hope that helps I just got feedback Scopely on this review. Shocking ignorance of the points I made. “We value your concerns etc”. Again, don’t spend money on this game, you will get better games and value elsewhere..Onions12376Version: M51.2.0

✓ Worst game ever ***AVOID AT ALL COST***Scopely has ruined Star Trek. They have turned it into a war mongering bully culture. This is simply a game of the haves vs the have nots, if your not a whale your cannon fodder for them and have no chance of advancing. If you have ungodly amounts of disposable income and you don't mind dropping tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars on in game purchases then this game isnt for you. Aside from all the glitches and technical issues which this game has many, and all the bullying and harassment from the whales. The game has just become too much, too complicated, too involved, too time consuming. They are adding too much too close together. Too many specialty ships that take too much time and resources to build up and time to work on the tasks to do it all is just too much. This game is more time consuming then a full time paying job. It just isn't worth playing anymore. A game is supposed to be a distraction from life an enjoyable experience, this is no longer that, and hasnt been for a while but the constant additions instead of fixing the existing issues is just wrong. This is not a fun game to play, keep your money and find something better to spend it on. If i could i would give this game negative stars i would. If you aren't spending a small nations GDP on in app purchases they dont care what you think of this game. If people would stop spending money in game they might actually take notice and fix the issues..Mawwi1'sVersion: M59

✓ Do not play unless you’re willing to pay to win!Been playing this game for a few weeks now, and can honestly say that I’m already thinking of quitting. Reasons: - If you don’t have deep pockets to pay to win, then don’t bother to start this game. You will be bullied by older players or player willing to pay to win. Bullied how? Have your ships killed for no reason. Your bases raided by players 8 levels higher than you. Unable to mine resources because players 10 levels higher than you are just camping on the mines and there’s nothing you can do about it. Etc... GAME IS JUST NOT FRIENDLY FOR NEW PLAYERS. - Game is really unbalanced. You get assigned missions waaaaay above your capability to complete. Having to kill 100k powered bosses when your best ship is only ~10k? Oh wait, if you’re will to pay to win then it gets much easier. However, you’d probably have to spend a few hundred dollars to get close to that because the purchase values are pretty bad. - Upgrading your ships is a nightmare because the required uncommon resources are nearly impossible to come by. Refining rates and success are a joke. Again, pay to bypass this again... - So many glitches and apparently no attempts to fix. Lots of hacking going on too (just google it). This is quite a shame since the game has massive potential, but unfortunate the greed of the developers are glaring. This game does not embrace the spirit of Star Trek, which is diplomacy and discovery. Instead it enables wallet warriors to bully others for whatever sick satisfaction they get out of it. Devs, if you read this, then you have to rebalance and rethink where this game is going because you’re not going to get many new player stick around..TastLikChiknVersion: 2.1

✓ Terrible GameThis game is not a good one. The focus of the developers is to bleed as much cash as they can. We are not talking about a dollar here and maybe two dollars there. How about 30 dollars here and 60 dollars there. The game is fun when you first start playing. It does not cost anything during level 1 to 15. But after that your home base will be attacked by other players. The result of constant attacks by much higher level players attacking results in the compete loss of mined resources which took you days or weeks to accumulate. The developer has a solution for this. You can buy these resources for big $. But beware, these other higher players will attack and steal those too. This game is completely unbalanced for game enjoyment. But rather balanced for the developer to take your money, and lots of it. As a result, this game has nothing to do with the true spirit of Star Trek. I did get to level 22, but it is no longer enjoyable. I deleted it. It is one of the least satisfying games I have ever played..No more advertising!Version: 9.0.1

✓ Could be good game, but....I was looking for a game to take over from Galaxy On Fire Alliances, that I’d played for years, but which now is pretty much dead. This game looked good. Started out and seemed OK, although it seemed a bit “pay to win”. After a few weeks now, I’ve quit and deleted it. Not going to pour money into this. It could be a really good game-if they dialled back the money aspect a bit and fixed some issues. Sadly having spoken with their support, that seems unlikely. There are frequent “events”-which at first I found encouraged me to play. Until I realised that even playing very frequently to meet the goals, I still came up halfway. So I wouldn’t get the awesome ship-I’d have to pay to get the other half of the blueprints. Great! Then my base got attacked. Fine-that’s part of a game like this. Except that it had already happened-so I’d built up my base to mitigate such attacks. Sadly the game dynamics were screwy-a player with ships ¼ of my base’s strength easily defeated me and raided the resources I’d built up over a week or two. I don’t blame the player-they were just exploiting screwy dynamics. It really annoyed me, so I contacted game support. Zero help-just repeated fob-offs. So here we are-another game that could’ve made some money off me & that I could’ve enjoyed playing, deleted..JamiethescienceteacherVersion: 1.7.4

✓ NerfedThe change of provider has made the game a lot less buggy, although the ones that remain are still irritating, and it seems like few of the gameplay issues from the first attempt have been resolved. The real issue now is that mining has been rebalanced so that it’s impossible to mine enough resources to cover combat losses. This is going to kill the game unless it’s urgently fixed, which is a shame because the art and production values are great. Play it for a bit, but don’t spend any money on it until it’s fixed..Sp762Version: 1.6

✓ PTWAnother pay to win game ??? Not for the first 14 levels where you can chill doing missions and events but after that it’s a pvp free for all ( only by players close to your level though). There has been recent server mergers and now some areas are way over crowded, which makes a shift in who is the dominate power. Overall it’s pretty addictive until you spend real money and get your behind kicked daily lol.RayzorbackVersion: M40.0.2

✓ The game is fun but has many glitchesI played the game for about three months, enjoying most aspects of the game despite the many glitches. A few mining nodes don’t work even after updates that supposedly fixed them and several times I completed missions but didn’t receive the rewards. The game is very unbalanced, I was getting hit by players 11+ levels above me. A fully upgraded lv22 station has no chance of defense against a lv30+ ship. I learned to just keep a shield up when I wasn’t playing. I personally spend money on games cause it allows me to not spend time doing the stuff that is not enjoyable. I also realize that if people don’t spend money then developers will no longer make games. Which brings me to my biggest complaint, customer service. I bought a pack which came with resources and started a few upgrades. I put up a shield. While the shield was active, I got attacked and lost most of the resources I bought. The game failed me in three ways, (1) I was attacked while under a shield, (2) I never received a shield notification, (3) I never received a station attack notification. I reached out to support and they were unwilling to correct the issue. Supports response was “In as much as I want to help you out, I can only do so much.” They did nothing to correct the problem..Remc78Version: 7.3.1

✓ Bugs bugs and more bugsLonger I play this game the more bugs it has and now loading gets to 91% and fails . Play another game guys till they get their game sorted even as a beta test the bugs are shockingly bad ..Not happy 001Version: 1.7.1

✓ BoohooI perservered as long as i could reached levl 20 without spending cash but couldnt go any further ......waste of time game i stay loyal to wwz dont have to spend cash to advance sorry i was enjoying it but got fed up .....in the end all i could do was donate regularly.KororobVersion: 1.7.3

✓ Awful game, no support from AppleGame doesnt work on Apple devices. Crashes all the time. Game lags. Developers happy to take your money yet wont refund when you demand money back as game does not run or work as described or intended. They tell you to speak to Apple support for refunds as they process all payments and refunds. Apple will point blank refuse to refund anything and refuse to take any action against the app developers or remove the game from the app store, leaving anyone Apple customer that downloads this game at risk. Shocking customer service from both Scopley and Apple. Only download if you want bad customer service and empty pockets. Great game if you like bugs, glitches and constant reboots. Credit Card is a must for this game. After trying to get money back from both Scopley and Apple, it seems all they do is pass the buck from one to the other until Apple Support just closes the case and refuses to return emails on the issue. Check out social media on Scopley and read reviews before downloading any of their games. No protection at all from Apple over purchasing in game add ons as they will just say its not their issue as per their terms and conditions. Both Scopley and Apple need to rethink how they treat customers and how they monitor app purchases and protection, if a product does not work as described or intended give the people their money back.MadAd1Version: 9.6.1

✓ The bullies win every timeThis started out as a great game. I enjoyed the game play and the alliance I was in. They introduce new game lines regularly and keep it fresh. But the problem is, Scopely’s business plan is “reward the big spenders” and they give them huge ships that are impossible to compete with. The “Free To Play” players advance very slowly, and we end up as cannon fodder for the huge players who dump, literally, thousands of dollars into building massive ships. Early in your gameplay, Lower levels are limited to attacking players just a few levels lower than themselves. But when you spend the cash and shoot up to higher levels, you are free to bully all the lower level players without restraint. And if you read every other review in this app store that complains about the way bullies are allowed to wreck havock on lower level players, you will see the developers give lip service to “our feedback” but they have no intention of putting any restraint on their cash cows. Bottom line: if you’ve just won the lottery, enjoy this game. But, iIf you plan on going the free to play route, this will remind you of Jr High School Gym Class. The bullys dominate and the coaches are not interested in stepping in..ChicalooVersion: M54.0

✓ Game unstable and pay to win, no real free to playOver the last few years the game has become unstable I once loved the game always good communication, and content, it’s now become a game that is money grabbing, with constant crashes and in game issues for iPhone and iPad, new content launches lead to poor game experience, it’s hyped up but a complete let down, daily goals are now like having a full time job in the game to achieve anything the grind/loops are horrendous. I do wish they get back to some real quality of life updates and get the game stable, and please reduce the pack costs £99 on average is not for average players and you need a lot of money to advance in this game, so if you want something to fill 15-60 mins of your day this game is not for you, it’s a time sink, I love Star Trek but this game and scoply especially have ruined the IP and what Star Trek is all about. I wish I could have been more positive, Live long and prosper.Pitorian1Version: M60.0.1

✓ Skip this one for a year or soCame into this game with high hopes and was pretty much disappointed from the outset. Progress in this game screeches to a near halt pretty fast unless you are ready to dump some serious cash into progressing. If you aren’t then sit back and get ready for some incredible frustration. The players that do become amazingly powerful VERY fast and prey on everyone with nearly unstoppable ships. I grunted out for 19 out of 50 levels and just got tired of the amount of time it took to accomplish absolutely nothing. Just building a simple structure was taking 3 or more days (an obvious taunt to impatience to get you to pay to speed things up)and it took many of these structures to progress. Storyline is slow and monotonous. Fly from one place to another, kill a bad guy, receive minimal rewards. Ship power climbed very slowly too. Even the great alliance I was in couldn’t protect itself from the cash kings constant pillaging everyone with their showroom ships. If you are a game bully and have LOTS of extra cash and want to throw it away to buy pixel ships in a glitchy mediocre game, this one is for you. Personally I would suggest waiting a year or so to see if the designers address a few of the obvious problems and make it more about player enjoyment than sucking up your time and money. So disappointing..Woof77Version: 2.1

✓ Save your money and stay away.This game has no correlation with the Star Trek franchise values. This is a game of bullying others just because you can. The chat line is full of obscene language and common bullying, not mention the conversations on politics which infuriates me. This game is a total time waster of building structures, power and strength. If you pay you build faster but the end game is destroy everyone everywhere or be destroyed. Gene Roddenberry would be SO unhappy,.Os0goodVersion: 1.7.4

✓ Beware- big conBeware- you buy packs and they don’t work, the game is full of bugs and you will have sooo many people attacking and raiding you taking the resources you have paid for. You will only succeed if you pay thousands of dollars. This is a money grab and you will not feel satisfied unless you are incredibly rich..JarnaugaVersion: 2.01

✓ Wish I could give it 5*The concept behind the game is fantastic...but there is a very long way to go before it is 5* worthy. The PvP scale is WAY off. That needs to be addressed. Why is there no kind of alliance battle log? There are battle reports per individual, but leadership cannot see what is happening with our members. Why is there no way to check member activity? We have strict standards of activity, but the only way of knowing, is physically seeing a ship in motion, or seeing them in chat. Dead mining nodes are a huge problem. Lack of nodes for the amount of players are another. The uncommon material drops are preposterous for the amount that is required for upgrades and research. Who ever came up with that algorithm should be fired, and someone with half a brain put in their place. I’m at a complete standstill in building and ship upgrades because of this stupid wait time between refining materials, and the insane drop rate of uncommon. Now moving on to the ‘store’. May as well call it the black market. $100, just to be able to get ahead...Seriously ? This game is geared toward those that can afford to drop serious money to make any headway. And is in NO way friendly to those of us that have to work for what we get. Needless to say, there are numerous issues to address before your fan base drops, and business is lost..Bryanscott75Version: 2.1

✓ Money hunger gameLet us be frank. This game is designed for one purpose only: money. I can’t see how anyone can progress further without spending a dime on this game. And even if you spend $100, you won’t go far. The only way to progress is to spend $1000 or more. Daily rewards stack up more time and money spending. To get an ultra rare officer with the monthly rewards, you will spend 1 year of your time in frustration and at least $100. To get any rare ships, you will spend >couple of $100s. And let’s just forget about the Enterprise, there is no chance you will get it without spending money. Of course, it is unfair for the developer if everything is free, but the greed just disgusts me out. So I am out..Sean PhamVersion: M28.0.0

✓ Fun to a pointPlayed this game for an embarrassingly long time considering I have a job and a life to live. Which is the problem. Many on here either don’t or choose to spend so much time on the game that it impacts how others play. But the game develops seem to understand this and it makes it very difficult for you to be a casual player without paying out large (far too large!) sums for packs. Once paid, for any protection you’d hope for drains away because your base is usually only protected for about 8 hours (better peace shields are available, usually at cost!). Those 8 hours are frustrating for the casual sleeper who won’t schedule their sleeping around that.. in short any resources bought for us then just taken by other players. I refuse to pay such high amounts. Which is maybe by when the game glitches (very frequently) support will simply not answer you. They will answer if you’ve paid for a pack but as others have seen, very rarely do they actually help. Not bad to fill time if you have it I suppose, DON’T buy any packs-they simply aren’t necessary to play casually..Jamesjame21Version: 9.1.0

✓ Not a Star Trek gameThis is a boring “mining” game in which you get punished for trying to obtain resources. You see, the developers give you access to unlimited resources and then choke you out by giving you minimal storage. So minimal in fact that there is no real way to progress without paying. It’s an awfully buggy, unfinished product on top of it all. So it makes me wish it would exit in horrible dishonourable Klingon dumpster fire. This game will not live long and prosper in its current paywall state. Do not spend a dime on this Scam..Dreamspace StudioVersion: 1.7.3

✓ An insult to Gene RoddenberryThis garbage game encourages violence toward your fellow man and gang-bully-mentality and discourages cooperation and peace—the premise and core principles of Star Trek!! This game is an affront to Gene Roddenberry and an insult to his beliefs! To call it Star Trek is a disgrace! We’re sorry corporate greed and gratuitous violence — both of which are a dark reminder of our primitive past in the real Star Trek Universe — has twisted your vision of the future into NRA’s. P.S. Those of you who pay for Latium are binaries morons (see psychology def’s)..Sid BlondeVersion: 7.9.3

✓ Ruined game.There is a core game here of steady advancement and achievement. This is absolutely ruined by forced PVP that does nothing but invalidate any achievement and ruin any enjoyment or feeling of accomplishment. The game openly rewards bullies. I pity anyone who spends money on this. Star Trek in name only..GodcursedVersion: 9.10.0.2

✓ Needs bug sprayCan’t believe that a game like this and for such a big fan base would be riddled with so many bugs and faults. Even playing for a while and have yet to see a update or a fix for at least one problem yet. Other then that it can be fun to play at first but after you level up everything becomes more difficult quiet fast and the upgrade times go on for days. And don’t get me started on the fact they make it this way just so you are forced to pay to get ahead once your further along in the game..SRR1980Version: 1.7.3

✓ Complete bullying and total imbalance in player vs. playerStar Trek in graphics only. Star Trek never condoned bullying, but this game developer not only supports it but promotes it. Once you cross about lvl 23 or so, you just become fodder for vastly out powered players, with ZERO chance of defending yourself. I’ve been -laying this game for 5 years and watched it happen. If you are not ready to throw down 10’s of thousands of dollars, your enjoyment will fade. We have a bully alliance chasing our players down. They are almost double the players and out top two or three players don’t even meet their bottom 1/3 in power, yet they are allowed to block our game play, prevent missions and armadas, completely block territory take over. Unlike the developers say, I have made numerous complaints over years, yet absolutely nothing has ever been done to even out player vs. player. Their responses back are a sham and they do nothing to improve game play or support a more fair/balanced gaming experience. If you want to spend 10’s of thousands of dollars and beat up weaker players, than this is a game for you. If not, there is some entertainment but extreme frustration as well. I understand that scopely needs money to keep this going, but it is on a death spiral trying to bring in new players to feed the big spenders. Enter with eyes open..TV Guide 666Version: M60

✓ Scopely just wants your moneySince the new owners of scopely took over servers have got real bag constant bugs on updates…. And iPad…iPad users game crashes multiple times an hour…. They have become more money hungry…coming out with more and more stuff you need to pay for….the same stuff you do get for free… daily refinery they give you the very least when it says you get a chance to get higher…..I have yet to get anything higher then the very least from the litithium refinery…..my recommendation (Find a better game)….if your just starting out you to far behind anyway..Discrete trekkerVersion: M61

✓ Boring!This game has more bugs than a summer camping trip! If you don’t have a small fortune forget it, too many other players do paytoplay(p2p) and will destroy you, which goes against the essence of what Star Trek really was about... The developers greed got in the way of them making a decent game. I am just glad these same developers aren’t involved with the programming of the self driving cars, cause there would be a heck of a lot of crashes! Play at your own risk of boredom!.Dan0mightVersion: 2.1

✓ Don’t play this gameThis game is a joke, they charge a fortune for everything it is pay to play period. I had my account suspended for what I’ve no idea, they won’t say why. So your totally abused by customer service, only in this game can you be suspended without reason. Let’s be fair you have paid for a service they withhold as and when they see fit. It’s the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced, ignorant and unwilling to accept anything but what they say. The whole game revolves around the big payers, you get mass reported and your suspended during this time you will lose all the ress you saved. This has then got to be bought again coincidence i think not, organised very much so. If you want to play a game that don’t cost the earth isn’t full of bugs and bullies topped of with the most horrendous customer service out there FIND ANOTHER GAME. This game costs a lot to get anywhere but it’s very addictive. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED..RIcHaRd1:2:3Version: M34.2

✓ Pathetic company stay awayGame had possibility After merge They shafted us , took away what we purchased and unlocked , refused to refund or credit what they stole , said they ran events to compensate , those events did not compensate even half of what I lost , they refuse to refund credit , they even refuse there own terms of service where it states you can request arbitration or escalation , they refuse because they know there in the wrong They have stolen money and lied for the last 6 months we have been Playing a beta under the pretence of a full version then 2 weeks ago they say oh no it’s a beta you shouldn’t have spent anything 1000’s of players are requesting refunds as am I As they do not care for there players only there $$$ and when they stuff up they refuse to credit back As such as are others I’m now engaging in legal action.Pants9000Version: 1.7

✓ Stay AwayThis game has the potential to be one of the best StarTrek games on iOS if the game wasn’t full of bugs and wasn’t so imbalanced in favour of those who pay to play. As a huge Star Trek fan I really wanted to love this game but alas the developers show little support and blame all their poor programming on the users or a need to restart the program. Each day brings a new bug that sucks the fun out of the game and that is ignoring the constant pvp from wallet warriors who would rather take you out for resources than work for it themselves. Top that off with all the higher level resources being selfishly guarded by all the strong alliances and it doesn’t leave any avenue for growth except for those willing to spend a lot of money. This game is not worth it... if you want a Star Trek game play Trexels 2. That one is at least fun and can be played to the fullest for free!.ZasafarVersion: 1.7.2

✓ A mining game in a Star Trek drag outfit.The game itself starts quite engaging. Missions to get you used to the controls and layout. Upgrades that give you that sense of achievement. But all that quickly deteriorates. In order to progress to the higher levels you must use resources that you gather. You do this through one of three ways. -events and missions. The most time consuming and laborious way. -mining. The true aim of the game. -spend cash. What Scopely prefer. There is a fourth way, but the developers made raiding other players prohibitively expensive and you can’t steal the full range of resources available. Make no mistake, this is a mining game. You compete with other players for the limited number of mines available. And other players always have a bigger ship. The latest event, something about the borg in Kirks time (Star Trek fans will understand the blasphemy) is another attempt by the developers to grasp at straws and your cash. Don’t waste your time thinking this is Star Trek, it isn’t! The game is glitchy beyond reason. You will spend months mining for the next upgrade. You will ask yourself over and over “why?” You will be pressured into spending cash. And above all, Scopely (the developers) are so worried about the number of people leaving the game after more than a year running that they’re having to merge servers. This should tell you all you need to know. Pure and simple, Pay to Win... except you will never win..DagehaVersion: M46.1.0

✓ Good but the bugs and the expensive packs let’s it downAbsolutely love the stfc player community, they’re the whole reason I keep playing, but if you’re new don’t just join any alliance, make sure you keep an eye on the top alliances on leaderboards so you can apply to one that’s got active players or this game will not be as much fun. Lots of players have ghosted because of the price of packs and the grind it can be sometimes if like me you don’t want to pay to play. Buggy as all get out though, scopely customer support is average, and each new update seems to add another bug despite the ones they’ve fixed. You need to have a decent amount of patience to play this game..Ruiha13Version: M27.1.0

✓ BadSo many bugs and when ever I contact support no one seems to help solve the problem and really upset cause this is a good game you just loose ships and materials. After every update. Also still am waiting to hear back from support. Will not be recommending this to any treky fans 😥🖖.Xxlegacy1994xXVersion: 1.7.4

✓ Terrible gameThe packs to advance are 100$ a piece, and there is not enough in ur resource generators to even do the simplest of actions like fight. And you HAVE to fight, because the range of hittable ships is outrageous.. lvl 39 can hit as low as lvl 25 ships and bases. And if your shield fails (which it often will do) scopley will admit there is a problem then not refund your lost resources after you have been raided. Mining nodes are often broken. And even if you screenshot some part of youri game that is broken and try to send in a ticket, the auto response will tell you to send a screenshot, try deleting the app and reload it (which is super fun when you are in the middle of a battle and your game crashes.. sarcasm) they keep working on the graphics but dont fix whats broken and customer support is not helpful in ANY way. But hey, if you have about 40,000 $ to blow then this is the game for you.. not being sarcastic. There are legit people that have paid that much to play so they can crush you any time they want to mine where u are. And the cursing in the galaxy chat is atrocious. We actually had a very nice lady that was harrassed and asked about how much she could spread her legs, and much much worse. Scopleys reply was “we will look into it”, and the person wasnt banned as per their terms of service. This is an adult game, DO NOT let your kids play it..HappyUserForLife!Version: 7.8.1

✓ It’s okay for a while, then nevermoreThe game itself can be okay, but the communities are just toxic and incredibly egotistical. If you want to enjoy the game, or at least if you want to be able to play the game, you better have a pretty deep wallet. The pay to players get incredibly biased boosts and favouritism from the devs because they’re just after the money, way more than you’d expect it’s just blatant favouritism - the events that appear are also heavily worked so the paid players get the biggest rewards (since there’s no way those high-tier rewards can be obtained without first spending *a lot* to reach that level). The game is buggier with each update and support are arrogant and dismissive, as well as often just ignorant. The packs you can purchase in game are incredibly unbalanced too. For the same price you can buy say .. 100 of X and 50 of Y, but if you click on the pack next to it for the same price you’ll get 250 of X, 175 of Y and a whole host of other things. They don’t care, so long as you pay them..JonnyMaqVersion: 7.2.1

✓ Expensive and BuggyVery buggy, even after supposed fixes and lag is terrible, and it is NOT from my end. You want to have very deep pockets cause Scopely very greedy in that respect. Expansion packs are way too expensive and requirements to level up when you hit around Level 25 mark starts getting very unrealistic because they want you to spend, spend, spend. Not enough nodes for Dilithium, Gas or Ore mining to go around considering how many playing. I get we supposed to fight for them etc. but deliberate shortage to again encourage more spending. Game total rip off..Email2MickiVersion: 7.5.4

✓ Great but clearly aimed at your bank accountBeen playing for a while and although the concept is great, you quickly realise that after the lower easy levels you don’t get anywhere without paying - problem is not to pay, problem is how ridiculous amounts you have to pay to get ressources which will enable you to make just 1 upgrade. So every time you want a decent upgrade you need to pay 99£ - yes 99£. This is close to robbery and is a clear deterrent to many players. I do not think this is ethical to push people in spending that type of money when considering that buying a P4 game will cost you half of that (unless you fall for a similar trap on fifa). Long gone are the days where players were considered. Go to clash of clan instead at least if you want to pay its affordable and if you don’t pay you can still progress smoothly through the game. Sad to see that a great idea is spoilt with greed!.HorusIIVersion: 7.6.1

✓ Bugs bugs and bugsSeriously can’t even load past 70 percent since update very frustrating. Support is poor with well over 24 hours delay with token “hold” responses. Had a lot of promise but has not delivered . Very frustrating BRIANTAIS.Star trek across the universeVersion: 1.6

✓ Do Not play this game: Highly Addictive but very dissapointing.Every update they add more stuff to the game but forget that they just shut the server down for 4/5 hours. For some of us that’s the time in which we get the daily missions completed. Secondary pvp in this game is trash and they keep pushing it. Players in this game will kill you just to add to the “power destroyed” leaderboard. They gain nothing from this other than growing an e p*nis. Scopely continue to cater for the players that have the biggest wallets and leave the people who are not so fortunate behind. It’s ridiculous that a level 30+ player can kill a level 21-29 player and hardly take any damage. They need level matching in this game, basically the more you play it and pay it the better you will be. The slow burner will be always left behind. Eventually you will get up there because research takes 14-20 days sometimes. I’ve been playing this over a year now and log in everyday and I’m only level 29. Do the math. Don’t play this game and go do something else with your time. Edit: 1 year later. Still playing the game but the Whales in this game dominate the rest. You can’t even win competitions anymore in the game without getting a whale beat you for the sake of it. Devs don’t really care about the game they just want to find the next way to get money out of you. They don’t cater for the casual player this is hardcore, 5/6 hours a day grind. Do NOT play this game..Nico10101Version: M40.2.0

✓ Starts good but doesn’t lastStarts out fun exploring, missions, and resource gathering. But the closer you get to level 20 the less point there is to playing anymore. If you do the missions you eventually hit a point where your expected to kill ships that are over twice the power of your current ships, and to tier up your ships take forever unless you pay $$$. The resources needed for tier up and upgrades have to be gather, but mining vessels get destroyed before you can gather. And the fights become pointless, example: ship A power level 17k, ship B 120k power level. Ship b attacks every ship in the area,player with ship A wiped out, obviously. Ship c power level 11k, ship A cannot attack ship C because the level difference is too high... and yet having a ship with over 100k pl difference attack is perfectly fine. Don’t waste your time unless you want to spend hundreds of $$$s. Even someone of the same level can buy designs giving them 10s of thousands of power difference. While you think you can get the same for free and it will just take longer, that is not the case, I’m level 19 can’t do any of the missions I have because anything I have to fight is 2x the power level of my ships. Or they want donations of resources that max capacity doesn’t cover. Can’t mine anything without getting destroyed by ships that shouldn’t even need the resources I’m mining..AdarkartistVersion: 7.5

✓ Game is good but the bugs are never fixedAlthough it’s fun to play and you meet awesome people in the game the developers are appalling. The only bugs that are ever fixed are ones the directly impede on their revenue stream, there are bugs in the game that have been here for years and never fixed and every update new ones are created. If you report them you’re either told they will be raised with the developers and/or to try restarting the game which you have to do regularly anyway due to the crashes, freezes and bugs. I do not recommend ever doing in app purchases until they put an effort in to improve game playing experience. Stop the new content and fix the existing issues first. I’ve never come across such a poorly supported app in all my life. So many bugs and such a poor level of care factor..LesterBrookVersion: M40.1

✓ Do not play, Poorly rated for a reason.This game has little to no security in terms of upholding their own Terms of Service, do not let your children play this game at all, the verbal abuse, discrimination and obscene sexual innuendo runs unchecked and un enforced. The little amount of content this game does provide in the Star Trek lore to what amounts to limited gameplay poorly executed at best, for what i must say is one of the most expensive visa swiping games i have ever come across. The fact CBS and Paramount have their names attached to this in any way shape or form is bewildering. Shame to allowing the rights to be sold to Scopley to further add content..Jexus77Version: M46.0.0

✓ Update good?Great to see a much needed update. But it’s put me back considerably on progress. How can this be addressed? Totally unimpressed with lack of action about fixing the issues from the update. Still nothing has improved for me and now I’m back to level 1. Forget this app - great idea but poorly executed and supported. Fleet Command - don’t bother responding- again..UnhappyTetheruser123Version: 1.6

✓ Ok, but...I play a small, select number of games. I tend to persevere with some; this is one. The graphics are great and the usual game play is ok. You do need a hefty bank balance to advance it seems as many of the resources are scarce and time consuming to obtain. After level 7 , I think, you are pushed into pvp. Other players can and do attack you, the bully boys or girls of the galaxy who are several levels over you and steal you stuff, 10s of ‘000s of resources and it costs more sources to fix your destroyed base and ships. You do have peace shields but they cost real money. I am now level 25 and got demolished last night by a level 32 bully I had no real defence against. It has set me back hours if not days of resource production. I am giving up. Too many toxic players who go around destroying other players bases because they are way higher level, there is no defence. You can win if you prey on the little guys or pay lots of dollars for random rewards. Se ya..KaititiroVersion: 8.2.0

✓ Pay to win, bugs, boring gameplayWorst game I’ve ever played for developer greed and incompetence. While it’s technically free to play, don’t expect to ever win anything unless you spend money. The developers are so greedy, some purchases aren’t available until after your first purchase (forcing you to spend more), some ships cost £600, and some players spend tens of thousands of pounds in order to win. I’ve never seen a game with so many bugs, there are more bugs in this game than any national park; purchased items don’t turn up, nearly every update brings bugs to the latest missions usually meaning a hot patch to fix them, loads of crew mechanics don’t work at all. Once you get past all that, there’s very little to do; daily missions are tedious: mine for hours, kill the same hostiles. Other missions are as tedious, kill some hostiles, mine some stuff, donate a load of resources for little reward. There’s so much more that could be brought to the game but Scopely just want your money, so don’t really care - not even enough to bug test their own game. I’d steer clear and leave the pathetic pay-to-win’ers to play amongst themselves..WootesVersion: 9.9.0.2

✓ I play because friends are here..if they weren’t....In the tips portion of the ad they didn’t mention the terrible rate of refinement to get said Rare materials or even just the Uncommon. Whales always have and advantage but it’s an overwhelming one in this game, Like grossly. If you don’t spend you won’t really have much of a chance. Scopely also has different rates of these packages resources in the bundles based on age of the server, so choose wisely. The older the server the better your deals will be. Lastly, instead of fixing old issues and improving actual game play they just role out new officers and 1 trick pony ships to lure more whale spending. Just fix some simple things please. Like wording on crew that doesn’t reflect (Djaoki for example)what it actually does...the character skins.. my fed officer in the faction store is from the Blue man group! Klingon crews with no faces...If they actually cared and or catered to the majority of players and gave the majority a chance to take on whales and their alliances, it would drive those who do spend more to continue to do so at a higher rate just to hold the leading edge. This game has potential.. but needs devs that care. It will make money even if you are more generous with your rewards and how people can improve their ships to make it a more fun experience, I promise..SanDiego_grownVersion: M25.1.1
