Star Trek Fleet Command Negative Reviews
Designed to deceiveGreat concept, terrible execution; at least from the consumer’s perspective. Scopely designed this well to sink its teeth into you letting you believe it’s a PVE kind of game at the beginning. Once you progress far enough on PVE in the lower levels it weens you into PVP with just ship to ship at first. You soon find your ships can’t take anything from anyone, but you need to level your base up to upgrade the ship. Once you do you need more supplies than you have or can get in a reasonable time so you spend $5 here or $5 there. Then WOW you’re feeling more powerful and wanting to play. Next comes your whole base being ripe for PVP. Not bad at first only a level or two above you can hit you and if you hide well you can keep your head down. But then you come back to needing those ship upgrades. Or maybe you really want a new ship, but have to level up to get access to it. Well now even more players many levels above you can decimate you and in order to survive you need to pay more money into resources. Better be quick or someone will hit you and steel all those resources you paid money for.
It’s a wonder no one has tried suing other players for theft of property really. Terribly executed game and nothing more than a pretty looking money pit. Do yourself, and your wallet a favor, and stay away from this game. Scopely will never help you out, they just want your in app purchases. I really wish there was a good Star Trek game, this definitely isn’t it..LothalyonVersion: M41
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
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
If you like being cyber bullied, this game is for youI have been playing this game for over an year and enjoyed it. However, as you progress higher in levels, the game allows higher level players to challenge you in battle of which you have no way to beat them. I’m at level 34 and my highest power ship is 2.3M in strength. At my level, the top level 50 players with ship strengths of 50M just steam rolls over me. At lower levels, the game only allow attacks from players 2 levels above. But as you progress higher and higher, that level gap widens, 2, 4, 6, etc. The game requires you to perform daily events to get the bonuses. But there is one team of high level players called FUQS with player names like ShiftyKilledYou and YouBeePickaxed just bully their way in the galaxy killing everyone, disrupting their daily events. And NO ONE CAN STOP THEM. Now Scopely could have designed the game to restrict the level gap, but they promote this behavior as this is considered player vs player, and this is their response when players filed complaints. Scopely probably is hoping lower players would buy expensive power packs to upgrade their ships, but this still takes a long time to do as you can’t upgrade players levels that fast. Some of those high level players boasted that Scopely allows them to do these bullish behaviors because they spend like $15K a month on upgrades. So when you play this game, beware as you advance higher in player levels..MajorTom4321Version: M33.3
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
Prepare to get bulliedI started playing this game over a year ago. I was on server 18. I quickly noticed some of the alliances with big spenders dominating every event in the game. Even going as far as taking out your ships during the event to insure their victory. Then cam the alliance rivalries. Top alliances would prevent other players from the simplest things such as mining materials to complete your daily events. I was a level 30 player and spent over $400 dollars in an attempt to become somewhat competitive but it didn’t help at all. I was left with a choice, spend hundreds of not thousands of dollars just to make basic upgrades or leave the game behind. Scoeplay came up with the perfect game to boost their profits. They made over &200 Million on this game over a year ago. Who knows what that figure is today. I have so many other things that are more tangible to me that I can spend my money on so I decided to leave this game behind. I did have some fun playing this game, ok graphics, lots of things to do, never a boring moment. My advice, if you’re single with lots of money and time to waist, this game is for you. I can’t speak for the other servers but if you do decide to play, stay away from server 18.19BB71Version: 9.12.0
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
Just BadThis game is just bad all the way around. I’ve spent around $200 on this game and it’s just not worth it. You’ll have to spend $100 per pack and those packs don’t even fully upgrade your ship. You need around 3000 uncommon crystal to upgrade your ship by one tier, and the packs only give you 150. Do the math on that. Such a rip off. The players that do spend thousands, can come and take the resources that you purchase with real money. I’m currently level 30 and it will take 12 days to upgrade to level 31. There is no mission list so you can’t find missions that you need to build reputation or gather resources.
I had my miner on a node for over 18 hours, when I thought I was going to collect some resources I need to progress, another player destroyed my miner and took everything I waited 18 hours for. And there’s nothing you can do to defend yourself or prevent it from happening.
You can only perform 3 functions…fly somewhere, mine, or attack. That’s it. The chat interface is a joke.
This game isn’t about skill or even chance…it’s about how much money you’re willing to spend to progress…and it’s a lot. The game is designed to cater to the whales, so get used to being whale bait because that’s all you’ll be. Queue the rubber stamp response from the developer….Gumbi_Version: M37
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
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
Very disappointing, buggy and unbalanced playI’ve been playing Star Fleet for about 6 weeks now and have spent a couple thousand so far. The graphics are great, that’s the only reason I’m giving it 2 stars. The application crashes repeatedly throughout the day at different times. The biggest thing that disappoints me is the unbalanced power play, I’m level 26 but I can’t attack anything below level 21, however level 39 players (Big Fish) can attack me at level 26, totally unfair. Scopely customer support tells me they’ll have check why the protection doesn’t work the other way around. Clearly they need to keep the Big Fish happy and give them something easy to blow up. Only problem is they should realize players who don’t mind paying to play are gonna walk away once they realize this. I might suggest Scopely create an item that growing mid-size fish can buy or win that if they load it on their ships will destroy the Big Fish ship also, it would create more balance and make Big Fish think twice is it worth an useless attack cause they might become a victim themselves, I’d get a lot of pleasure killing off brainless Big Fish and spend more. No more spending until Scopely makes things fair for everyone..Nice4lesVersion: 9.13.0
Safe- for nowSo far it’s a good game with minimum pay to win and lots of things to do, but only because it’s been out for a day and everyone is the same rank and stuff and there’s nothing TOO pay to win (at the moment at least, considering this is a Scopely game.) And i’ve lost faith in Scopely as they are extremely unresponsive and have been censoring me on their forums and ignoring my emails. I’m serious i have proof. BUT this game seems pretty good for a start but i guarantee they’re going to be rolling out $50 loot crates anytime now. Character rarity is 3 star max and so are ships but you can guarantee when you max them out next week they’ll release 4 stars that completely shadow your characters. Did i mention when you roll a loot box you don’t get the character, you get fragments, and to get say, spock or kirk, you need 100, and with about 3 fragments per pull, well, have fun buddy. did i also mention the chances of getting the fragments are 5%? Yup you read that right. But, i digress, it is pretty good right now but again that’s only because they don’t have much of a pay to win aspect, YET. I’m just glad they can’t censor my review on apple store!
*UPDATE*
Not even a month since the games been released and they’re already selling a virtual ship for $50 that’s rarer and more powerful than any ship until you hit 3* ships! Don’t bother!.Scopely is badVersion: 1.7.2
GlitchyI have played this game for a year and a half. This by far the glitchiest game I have ever played. You have to constantly refresh app to get it to work right. Sometimes just shuts down on its own. I am not going to describe the other hundred glitches( no exaggeration). It is a pay to win game. They try to deny it but it is. A free player will have hard time competing with a $50 month player and almost no chance with a $100 month or higher player of same lvl. Not to mention the pvp lvl range is way to large. The packs to buy are very expensive for what little you get. Not to mention they are selective about what they offer you. I bought a $50 pack and then they took away the option (forever) to buy the $20. And you have to spend a certain amount to even get the option of the good ones. Now to gameplay. Be prepared to set alarms. Whether it be for flash events, to make sure your miner does not go zero or opl. Your miners will get hit so keep your notifications on. You will have to spend considerable amount of time in game just to keep up. Less so if you spend more money. They add new stuff every 3 months and always that includes new bugs. The newest one is pvp based so if you don’t spend money it will be hard to advance..ColDecker84Version: 10.1.0
Broken game mechanic enables harassmentI’d like to address that after playing with someone who became real life abusive to myself and several others, harassing in the game and on other connected platforms, I’ve tried blocking the perpetrator, changing game name and group name. However, the perpetrator used the blocked player feature (the same one intended to limit contact) to track me and people I play with to continue harassment. The ability to mark and track players wherever in the game benefits someone who can harass versus the victim trying to limit/avoid interaction. Scopely’s Terms of Use agreement clearly states cheating in game and harassment will be dealt with. I have sent over 40 screenshots regarding abusive dialogue to myself and others. I’m in my third time of filing a harassment complaint against the same perpetrator with Scopely. I get told “if there’s harassment, cheating, racism, etc...” after submitting a claim. There is little support, most times taking 4 hours for a reply from support. If they didn’t already shut down, the next bit of dialogue will be from someone else, and then claim is closed.
Don’t play this game. Bugs, lack of support, claims of harassment not taken seriously, game mechanics that enable continued harassment... could go on. Don’t waste money on this game..Ghostface_CasperVersion: 9.7.1
I deleted app but still hate it.It all started when I started the game. It’s a fun game but do not, I repeat, do not let anyone take leadership unless you are fully certain because their help desk will not help you. I had created my own alliance when I first started, it was going well and great, even chatting, making friends. Then this goon, who was about a million power, I gave leadership to as we switched it every week. This goon did not talk once, nor did he ever discover his own Alliance chat, as we were trying to tell him for weeks to switch leadership back. I told the developers and what did they do, told
Me to “call him, message him, email him, and do whatever it takes to get ahold of him and tell
Him to switch the alliance leadership back over to someone else.” That’s it, they said they cannot do a thing and blah blah blah. Such bull crap, I stopped playing game months ago. Only was a week or so into it as this happened. War and Peace is keeping me busy and way more fun. The fact that they couldn’t help or refused to help the founder of an alliance get back his own alliance, that’s just stupid. So you lost me forever and definitely “will proudly stop going where barely any men have gone before”. Good luck with this crap. And the devs still won’t answer me.......BILLS-ITUNESVersion: 9.10.0.2
Fun but a buggy messWhile the gameplay is fun and addicting, it’s still a hot mess too far in. The bugs come hot and fast and the devs seem unable to permanently fix them when they don’t just write them off. I have contacted them several times and they only resolved one issue completely. On another known issue, false battle reports, they refused to even acknowledge the problem despite evidence I submitted. It’s getting to the point that submitting tickets to customer service is pointless. And this also doesn’t address the fact that there is significant pay to win. The pay packages are pretty outrageously overpriced and escalate with each purchase. They give significant advantage considering the fact that the game is unbalanced. Small differentials of power can result in colossal defeat, so even minor fluctuations from packages can severely tilt results. The power differential is also significant because it means that powerful players can’t even be zerged to balance out their op stats and they can act with impunity. It’s almost impossible to catch players ahead of you without paying, so they can indefinitely ream you. TLDR: great concept but extremely buggy and imbalanced to the point you have to pay to win to survive if you started late..MonkeyundergroundVersion: 1.7.4
Solid foundation that comes up Waaaay ShortThis game could be great, the could be is the problem. I have played many video games over my life and this isn’t even a beta version....it’s worse. There are far too many glitches, errors, coding problems to go over in just one review. The main problem I have is that the developer doesn’t care about the issues because people are forking over millions every month to play an incomplete mobile game.
They are stealing from players (the developer) as well. Try and instant repair one of your ships, that will cost you 19 additional in game currency than what is communicated to players, basically pocketing that currency each time short changing the player. The developer is only out to sell packs and get people to pay to win. You can grind in this game quite successfully but when the game breaks and you can’t get around having to pay it makes it not fun any more. I also wish the PvP parts actually worked, you don’t get notified when your base is under attack and you hardly ever have the opportunity to defend yourself.
Lots of potential here but no follow through from developer. Do not download this game if you don’t have time to grind, grind, and grind some more every day..ClbrvsfnVersion: 7.5.4
You are bully bait. A money pit. A facade of Star Trek.First 10 levels are ok except you are stumbling around to try to learn the game. There is no tutorial. Some of the language in the speech does not keep with the Star Trek ideals. I joined an alliance, supported other players and contributed. But then you hit 10 and you become bully bait. The game is no fun as you send a ship on a long journey and put the game aside. You come back on commercial break and you have been destroyed by some jerk who isn't satisfied killing non-player targets. And reading these reviews, the game would have progressed to allowing other players to destroy your base! Don't waste your money. Live long and prosper was forgotten in this game. Turn on the TV and watch Star Trek old series, or the wonderful Discovery series. Left a message to my alliance members I was signing off permanently. Support is non-existant...never a reply and can't easily find the support chat or support email really. And to delete your data, they redirect to a hugely long privacy or terms page and hidden in their is the process to purge your data. Purposely hidden. Average game, at best, but with a Start Trek fascade. Definition of facade: "an outward appearance that is maintained to conceal a less pleasant or creditable reality". Describes this game perfectly..VideogaymeVersion: M41.1.1
UnderwhelmingAs games go, this one is fairly obvious as a cash grabber. Yes, you “can” play it without spending money; however, you won’t get far. Furthermore, they charge an absurd amount for their in-game purchases. The purchases don’t tend to go far and leave you feeling cheated.
The culture within the game is also quite involved. There are alliances that you have to contend with. Your relationship with the big alliances can dictate whether the game is even playable. If you’re not in a big, high performing alliance then it’s not likely that you will ever win in the alliance challenges. The winners of those awards win big while everyone else, usually even second prize down, get next to nothing.
Overall, the game is a HUGE time commitment and will likely have you spending far more than you want to. I played this game for almost a year, got to lvl 28 and just realized that i was wasting far too much time and money without gaining any sense of reward or accomplishment. My recommendation: if you are looking for a game that requires a lot of time to play and actually progress in, then I recommend you try out a MMORPG like WoW. You’ll enjoy it more, pay less, and have a better time. If you want to play a casual, fun game that requires minimal time and attention then Star Trek Fleet Command is NOT for you..MwmateoVersion: 9.1.1
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
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
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
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
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.

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
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
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
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
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

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
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
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!!

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

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...

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!

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.

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.

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Waste of timeTotal waste of time. Unless you spend money you’re forced to grind all hours of the day to make mediocre progress, which can be ruined by a pay to win player..Salic CraneVersion: M35.1
Game SucksThe game sucks. The internal conflict between players is horrible, if you break the player-made rules of engagement (each server has attacking rules based on the trust system) you get attacked and bullied by other players even though ROE are not official rules. Although there are some good moments like a cease-fire after an active member (in-game and the community-made server discord) passes away IRL or leaves the game (if you break the cease-fire you will be attacked and bullied). The game is also beyond pay to win its PAY TO PLAY! Don’t get it it's not fun after a while. Toxic community, PAY TO PLAY and not worth the stress..GianlucaS.AVersion: M35.1
Don’t waste your moneyPay to play basically, or you end up with wallet warriors running around bullying people. Scooplies has the worst customer service to date as far as games go. Packs are over priced and global chat is always filled with man children crying and complaining , games for trolls ……
People get paid 100,000$ for story lines that my ten year old could write. All round don’t waste your time or money. This is truely an insult to StarTrek fans.[email protected]@-bVersion: M34
Scopely synonymous with greed and smugness.The game is heavy, glitchy and full of bugs, the average cost for an in game purchases ranges from $30 to $70 and even $130 for not much in value. If you don’t spend you’ll be crushed by those who do. The internal politics of the player based rules is reason enough to not play. But the icing on the cake, when ever you need to contact customer support to report an issue or bug their standard reply is to call you a liar and not do anything about it. Why would anyone spend a dime on a business that treats its customers like that? Would have given it negative one star If that was an option..DraffelVersion: M34
This is not Star TrekIt’s just plain corrupt to co-opt the Star Trek universe into a game that, in every way possible, is the antithesis of what Star Trek is about. This is a game that blatantly favours those with more money to spend, and encourages spending at every turn to get ahead of other players - rather than game play. The basis for advancement in the game is amassing “power”, and how that compares to other players’ power you destroy. And it actively promotes non-cooperation, domineering tactics, and bullying..Fully, completely, disgustedVersion: M34
Rip offSpent money to get stuff , just to have someone steal over 10 million resources that I bought with real money! Attacked by the same guy over 60 times for all the stuff I bought ! With real money ! Seems like a scam, don’t bother !.DjKruelVersion: M33.2
Lost roughly $200. worth of purchasesI started playing this game a few months ago, there was a recent update in which all my progress was lost. I contacted scopley they asked for information, I provide the answers, (admittedly I forgot my in game name) but I was able to provide my email address which I signed up with my game Center name (iOS) the alliance I belonged to. They asked me for purchase info so (order number?) so I look into my banking and I find the purchases but no order number just amount after taxes..needless to say all I asked for was an in game credit not a refund so I could start my progress over and so far nadda. Very expensive game to play and very slow progress considering how costly this game is..Al RichardVersion: M31.0.0
TerribleThis gives pay to play a whole new level.. start your credit cards!!
And beyond paying far to much for upgrades the game is over run with asshats and losers. Most of which run the alliances ... and the alliances are plagued with grievers that hate them. And if you’re not in an alliance its had to get ahead. The drama is thick like soup... and far from worth it.CanadianCrackerVersion: M29.0.0
Game has some merits but isn’t real life friendlyIt’s fun for a while, building up your base and fleet of ships. There’s a lot to explore in the galaxy and many missions. Then as you level up it becomes a raiding game. If you forget to renew the shield you’ll likely lose nearly all of your resources very quickly. It becomes part of your life to manage the peace shields. You have to go into the game three times a day at the exact times to renew your shield. Fall asleep and forget to shield? Start over with saving up resources. When you’re out doing missions or killing NPC ships to complete events, aggressive players with bigger ships can shut you down with no consequences. Want to mine resources? Again, aggressive players can destroy you easily even if they’re lower level as miners are less powerful than other ships. They just hit and run and you can’t do anything about it. The in-game purchases are also insanely priced. Many items are over $100!.JSP.ZenVersion: M29.0.0
Huge time sink.This is NOT for the casual player. Higher ranked players prey on the smaller players and forces you to constantly check up on the game so that you don’t loose your progress. Progress is painfully slow unless you buy the outrageously priced in-game-purchases. Stay away unless you have no life anyway... and a deep pocket..GordzillaVersion: M29.0.0
Waste of moneyYou cannot progress past level 19 without major cash purchase.
In the end, this game is about grinding ‘shoot em up’ mission who are basically click this ship, go there, click that baddy, let them fight. If your ship has higher stats, you win. If not, oh well, blown up and loose some point. So you never take any chance. There is NO stratégie to this game. None, zilch, nada, aucun.
Other than a Star Trek skin there is nothing star Trekkie about this game..LeGrosMammouthVersion: 10.2.0
Some of the players aren’t awfulI have played games that have players that make the game awful but this is the worst I’ve seen so far. Strange, arbitrary, esoteric “rules” for the enlightened. A world chat dominated by morons. I don’t know why anybody would keep playing but hey, maybe it will be your thing. Probably not though..Timely and awesomeVersion: 10.1.1
Star Trek: bully commandGameplay is massively imbalanced and on all servers results in the top 10% players in power bullying all players to either play their way or quit. Very much might makes right regardless how you wanted to play the game. A complete insult to the Star Trek franchise. Only saving grace is Roddenberry did not live to see this abomination come to be. Bugs and glitches even erode the quality of the game further with Scopely paying only occasional lip service to players that do not spend huge salaries in game. Look elsewhere for entertainment.KelandaceVersion: 10.1.0
