Star Trek Fleet Command Negative Reviews
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
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
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
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 $$$ Because they have the most powerful stations and make the rules. I am quitting the game mostly for this reason alone. My recommendation is that unless you have a massive disposable income or are keen on massive credit card debt I would steer clear of this game entirely..HsutxmanVersion: 7.3.1
Starts good but doesn’t lastStarts out fun exploring, missions, and resource gathering. But the closer you get to level 20 the less point there is to playing anymore. If you do the missions you eventually hit a point where your expected to kill ships that are over twice the power of your current ships, and to tier up your ships take forever unless you pay $$$. 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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..Ace ChristopherVersion: 9.8.2
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
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
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
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
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
Still using the Y2K bug!The programming behind this hot mess is so lazy they can’t even get basic movement right! Kinda pointless when you can’t move your pieces!
How hard is it to track 3 coordinate numbers? X Y coords in S for System. Nope, you drive out to XY in the wrong system... even when pressing a pop-up travel button for a fixed System target! That’s effectively the last living example of the Y2K bug
Instead of fixing things they just pile on more new junk (which is more broken garbage on top of old broken garbage) relying on cash-store whales to carry them. It’s clearly someone else’s game they’ve just skinned with some trek art. Nothing in the storyline or gameplay has more than a tangential relationship to anything Star Trek. Imagine the worst fan fiction or script possible where everything is just contrary to canon (even the jj universe canon), just plain wrong for any story, and then flip it to Battlestar Galactica. Then you’ll start to get how bad the campaign is.
Add all-or-nothing PvP coupled with pay-to-win, and you have a bully environment. Only the threat of counter-bullying keeps a server from complete anarchy, but the whales responsible for enforcing the peace are rarely on, let alone could be bothered to chase down a rogue. They find the game boring as they have nothing to do since they bought everything..Soylent BobVersion: M29.0.0
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
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
Don’t waste your timeThis game started great. A game with an “open world” feel where you can fly around, do missions, recruit officers from the Star Trek universe, upgrade your ships, relocate your base to new systems, etc, and everything happens in real time - like seeing other players flying around you and playing alongside you. It had SO much potential for a phone game.
However, you guessed it. Pay to win is ruining this game. People pay big money to upgrade their ships and advance quickly, and the only way to compete with them is to also spend money. The higher level you are, the larger the range of levels that can attack you. So you’re always outmatched and being attacked by someone higher level than you, and you can’t do anything to defend yourself - Unless you want to spend money to advance as fast as they do. So what’s the point? There are NO NON-PVP ACTIVITIES IN THIS GAME. ZERO. Anywhere you fly, to mine or do missions, you are open to being attacked. There are no safe zones or safe activities. So again, when you can’t escape the wallet players, what’s the point? There is no way to enjoy this game casually without spending money. Unless you want to stay hidden away in your base and do nothing.
Unless you enjoy spending hundreds on phone games, move on. Don’t waste your time like I did..TheKAManleyVersion: 2.0
Worst Example of a few thugs ruining a beautiful game.I can tell you why the stock price of this game plummeted. A small handfull of thuggish players have claimed all of the universe as theirs and won't allow for any player to play a peaceful game doing the developers' in-game missions. The developers are not making correction (putting the thugs on a different server so they can play their game while others play theirs) When you start, if your're able, you want to spend money to have the beautiful ships and abilities to fly them to defeat the computer hostiles, make trekkie friends and happily geek out. However, you Can't get the ships or to the destinations of the missions if the resources you have paid for are continually stolen by real people. I wound up an admiral of a fleet of peacefuls whose psyches have actually been harmed by these idiots. Star Trek fun geekiness is totally absent on this, one of several servers, my people have been assigned to. In particular, FireGryphon, claims he started all the fleets and all the thugs are loyal to him. He calls for other players to hit peaceful players and wipes out their resources which he gets to keep. It might as well be a 3rd party shooter game where you are virtually his target. If you want to pay money to be threatened and abused this is the game for you. OMG. THIS IS NOT A FAMILY FRIENDLY GAME..GramopolisVersion: 7.3.1
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
Glitches and ShipsI rated this app at a two of five stars because for being a fully released app it still has a ton of glitches and they don’t seem to be disappearing or even trying to fix them with some having gone on for weeks or multiple events with the reoccurring complete mission and showing the rewards over and over again without actually giving you the reward again, if that was the case I wouldn’t mind... but seeing it every time I re-enter the game is just annoying. Then whenever I send a moving ship into warp I can’t even see the ship once I clip warp with the countdown timing off for the engines warming up. This would be helpful for the quick escapes to be able to see if I am going to or not... then there is the stupid jellyfish ship that at first seems like of I’ll have this in a week or month and wait, I can’t seem to find them anymore... of you are telling me there was a buying event where people had to pay $50 for the ship or they would never get it? That’s crazy! Also missions are far from a continuous thing... I can’t even seem to find a mission to complete anymore that’s within a reasonable level range. Without me paying $50 to jump a level or two and try then....MyroncmVersion: 1.7.4
Pretty obviously pay to playIf you can find an alliance that is fun to play with the game can stay enjoyable for a bit but progressing in the game it is extremely slow if you don’t put up cash. I’m willing to spend a little bit on a game $5-$10 dollars a month but with this game after you buy the $5 pack it’s gone and you can only spent $25-$99 after that which is why I won’t spend anymore on this game. If I felt like the money went to improving the game server I’d consider spending more but I just feel as tho they want to drain as much cash as they can from players willing to pay before the server is dead. During an event they had a pack containing parts for a jellyfish ship.. you could buy 25 parts or 75 parts. You need 75 to complete the ship, you can supposedly get the ship without paying but from what I can tell is you end up needing 26 parts to complete the jellyfish effectively meaning no matter what you need to buy the larger pack or risk ending up 1 part short for the remainder of the game. Between the time required to put in to be a F2P player and the fact any low cost buyable upgrades disappear after one purchase leads me to believe this game was designed as part of a ferengi plot to steal wealth..Cutiepye98Version: 7.2.1
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
Fun game but f2p ruined itI played this game when it first came out. It was fun and the price model seemed ok. Everything was $5. After I bought one pack it disappeared and was replaced with a $10 pack, for some of my friends, they made $100 purchases and realized that they were stuck with $100 packs. The game was well balanced until the Jellyfish pack came out. That’s when the game went downhill. For the players that bought it, they quickly became the top players and completely stopped the progress of those who didn’t. I continued to play for a couple of months hoping that the bugs would get fixed and the game would be more balanced. By the time the bugs got fixed, all of the players who dropped money on the jellyfish pack now had the higher tier ships. I stopped playing for 2 months and came back to it and it was completely unplayable. I could only mine for a few minutes before getting attacked. Ended up spending more in repairs on my best ships than what I made in resources. You are only limited on who you can hit rather than by ship strength, so yes the developers are right when they say the game gets more difficult but they fail to mention that the difficulty is exponential..Mil Doc JrVersion: 7.4
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
Fun for a while.I’ve played this game for quite some time and in the beginning, it's fun and challenging. It's fairly fast-paced moving through the levels and acquiring new ships and advancing the crews of those ships.
Then you hit what I call the pay to play levels. This seems to be around levels 23 to 24. You have to have large amounts of resources to do anything and if you haven't spent cash the people that have will take almost everything from you. It takes days to upgrade your station and ships so unless you can afford to buy peace shields to stay in a constant bubble the people with large bank accounts will take everything from you.
I have push notifications turned on but don't get alerted that my station is under attack until well after everything has been taken. The developers constantly promise this will be fixed...it never has been. I have a theory that people that spend big bucks get freebee attacks on players that don't spend much. This is just a theory but seems odd that after I paid for an upgraded ship I received alerts immediately upon being attacked. Since I haven't bought anything recently I don't get notified until I'm cleaned out.
Enjoy the game, it's fun for a while..Lerdma69321Version: 7.8.0
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
4.5 has to be fakeGame written to frustrate you into paying real money to just survive. $50 gets you a ship that is unbeatable by levels 5 higher than you. Then after that has been out enough to annoy everyone, another ship for $50 that makes you stronger than that last $50 everyone spent. You can’t level without spending money. Missions require beating ships 100k+ higher than you and to upgrade you have to mine ore that you have refine for what you need. This part take 9 hours and is you’re lucky you might get 5 of the 500 you need. I’ve been trying to upgrade for 3 months and only have 43 out of the 500 needed. This doesn’t count your miners getting killed by the people who paid $50 or more and just harass everyone. Then to top that, guess what you need to make repairs, that’s right just what you been trying to gather for the upgrade. Everything cost far more than can be collected without spending real money. As a Star Trek fan I feel this is damaging the franchise. This should be called GRIEFWARE and there should be a warning that you need to spend cash to play. As a person with a bad heart requiring a machine to live, I don’t have time to waste with this garbage and limited as to what I can do for entertainment. Taking advantage of people is pathetic..S.

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
Fun til you hit the wallSo I will start out by saying that this game can become very addicting at first, but soon you can’t help but notice how unbalanced the game is. My biggest gripe has to be with the uncommon ore drops. I have mined consistently for 5 days, a task that is incredibly difficult as players consistently attack you for both your node or in most cases, just for fun. I spent 15K in G2 raw gas and got 5 uncommon. Like seriously? It would take me several months at this rate before I could fully tier up the ship. As far as it being a pay-to-play scenario, I get it. I actually have dropped some cash into this game, but at the stage I’m at there really isn’t a pack that works for my needs. I need uncommon refined ore, but the reasonably priced one ($20) will only give 100 (the ship needs 200+ for just one compliment upgrade). The missions were also fun at the beginning, but right after level 15-16 there’s such a significant jump in power of the opposing ships it’s impossible for you to win. You’d have to upgrade your ship, but as I mentioned above, this could take months. I think I’ll continue to casually play until I burn through all the resources I’ve bought, but I certainly won’t be spending any more money on the game..What_a_ScamVersion: 8.1.0
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
Horrible customer serviceWow, just wow... I’ve played clash of clans and all of its spin offs, Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, and various other f2p with p2p capability, but never have I deal with such rude and horrible customer service. The game is full of bugs, yet they will put several bugged officers in a special pack and sell it to you without informing you that they don’t work. You will play in real time events that track “live” how many points each player has, and you will use credits that you’ve paid for to come in first, actually get 1st place, then go to collect your rewards and be told you actually got second place because of server lag and there’s nothing they will do about it to rectify the situation. I’m the admiral of the 3rd strongest alliance on our server, we have the highest spending player on the server, people have spent well over a combined $100k in our alliance alone, but they still haven’t fixed a bug since March that is preventing us from filling our alliance to capacity, a capacity that we have expanded with resources that were purchased with real $$$$$. They don’t care. They take your money, then they don’t stand behind the product. The game has so much potential and can be a lot of fun, but at this rate Scopely will end up with a class action lawsuit..Scopely steals your $Version: 7.5.4
Stop do not play this gameIf you don’t have $10k to $100k to drop on a game don't waste your time. The in game purchases you need to make to stay competitive at the mid to higher levels is insane. When it costs over $1k to get the blueprints to build a ship base level 1. That is just plain insanity. The disparity between the haves and the have nots is quite clear on this game. You can progress by spending nothing to just a few hundred dollars but once you get to lvl 33 and you can be attacked by a player at lvl 50 who has ships 10 to 30 times more powerful then your ships it is discouraging and quit frankly a complete lack of caring from the developers and company. This game is nothing more then cyber bullying by those who have the money to spend and build up their fleets to hunt and destroy those who don’t. When you have no hope of defending yourself from those whales, what else can you do but quit playing the game. The only enjoyment i got from this game was the people i got to meet and play with in my alliance. They are the only reason i played as long as i did. I play games to have an escape from the stresses of daily life, but this game and its bullies did nothing but add more stress with the amount of time this game requires i found that i was missing out on life..Mawwi1'sVersion: M29.0.0
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
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
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
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
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

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.

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.

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
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!

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.

A Time-Consuming Bully Fest. Stay away!This is the worst game for new players I’ve ever come across. In theory there is a code of behaviour but no one sticks to it. You get attacked constantly and making progress is almost impossible because that progress is gated behind mechanics (mining) that are subject to constant bullying by higher level players. You need to pay A LOT to advance. It’s incredibly frustrating, the highs are meh and the lows are very very low.
To improve the game and reduce the constant bullying by higher level players, devs need to institute a penalty for pirating - that is - for violating rules of engagement. If you violate RoE you should build up a Pirate, Wanted or Notoriety meter whereby other players can get paid to kill you on sight. As it stands now this was a game I could see myself playing long term and even buying things, but instead I’ve deleted it. STAY AWAY from this time and positivity killer!.ShifteerVersion: M28.0.0
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
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
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
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
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
Good gameThe gameplay is well enough as well as the player vs player dynamics’s as long as you remember it’s just a game everything’s all good but the service and help from their employees is less than worthless and makes the game very unpleasant if you need to deal with them for an issue or re-imbursement for an issue that is caused on their end all you get is an automatic response stating you are the one at fault or they will work on the issue and not re-imburse any wasted in-game items that are difficult to get very frustrating and anger inducing experience’s with their “lack of support” staff.13blowVersion: 9.10.0.1
DisappointingI was hoping for a good strategy game like the older Star Trek games. This is NOT it. Good start right up to having (no choice here) to join a team. Same old online model. Yawn!.Professional Cat JugglerVersion: 9.9.3
Glitchy Service and a MONEY PITThis app, sucks you in by offering a great begging experience, it later. Forces you to spend $$$$ thousands in order to build - take heed of my warning.
Then when technical issues arise, they do not fix them. During the Most recent technical issue, you are unable to get to your base, and those in a different time zone can raid you base loosing everything you were building.
Causing the user to have to start again, favouring once again to purchase.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP, it crashes constantly and it will only COST you more and more. $ thousands of actual dollars..Dcc25Version: 9.7.3
No mercyBe aware all the hard work you do to accumulate resources can be wiped out by higher level players who enjoy stealing resources instead of getting it themselves. Attacks are relentless on players by higher levels. The game always for continued attacks on your base until you are emptied out. This could be such a great game but unfortunately......Azzurri 2015Version: 9.7.1
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
Don’t waste your timeGame promotes bullying and picking on the weak. For example I’m level 22 and get hit by level 29 players. Not strategy involved there!! What does a level 29 player have to gain by hitting someone 7 levels below them??.Lantean36Version: 9.1.1
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
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
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
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
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
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
Money grabIf you buy a cheap package from the store, they will remove the option for cheap packages to show up again.
Asked support about where the cheap packages went and received the Copy paste message below.
“ Hey Commander, Nyx here. I understand you have an inquiry on the availability of some offers on your end. Note that the offers that are made available to you may vary depending on your progress. This would mean that the items that are displayed on your end are catered depending on your progress on the game.
I hope this clarifies your inquiry. As always, feel free to reach out to us anytime. Live long and prosper! 🖖”
They haven’t restricted access to low level items, they’re just charging more for a larger volume of them, and removing the option to buy smaller packages..Dmaz13Version: M30.1.0
Boring. Don’t get this appYou just press the areas you want to go and get rewards. It’s boring..4('[email protected]@''#'#21' $2Version: M30.1.0
Expensive and imbalancedThe sole thing this game has going for it is that they use the name Star Trek. Buying packs is ridiculously expensive and you don’t get much bang for your buck. The PvP is interesting but lacks any proper balance. The “power” rankings don’t mean anything as a 7 million power ship can take out defenses of a 26 million power station. Save your money and go play a different game..P1TMST3RVersion: M30.1.0
BullieThis game is maid to make you buy stuff because people with money can bully with there ship stronger and its longue to upgrade because of that it judt bullyng sa
Better time with my life the loose 7 min to wait for a ship to get some were
This is not the real philosophy of star trek.Daphy2000Version: M30.1.0
Game unbalancedI was forced to delete this app, because the game is unbalanced . I didn’t have a strong power and a player named “daddy tripod” used me as his whipping boy. He had massive power and I didn’t stand a chance. He takes almost all your resources and your left keeping to rebuild your station. So in order to compete you need to spend real money.
I was enjoying the game until I came to be a unfair whipping boy.
He attacked me on three different occasions and multiple times each. Totally took the enjoyment of the game away..BstorrarVersion: M30.0.1
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: M30.0.0
MiningLove the game but it is very discouraging when you have no protection from getting destroyed while mining, we can’t sit there for 9 hrs waiting to make sure no one attacks you mining vessel. Implements should be put in to protect mining resources for short periods of time. Again no protection extremely hard to pull resources without getting destroyed all the time..MortigunnerVersion: M29.0.0
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
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
