The best Star Trek game that has broken the "curse" of a history of poorly made Star Trek games
It's very interactive you have 5 main crew members on the ship you can give orders too and it works out very easily, you also have full control of your ship for combat or manoeuvring in a fully 3D space environment or you can have attacks and piloting automated while you deal with ship repairs. The AI is intelligent enough to try and keep itself alive when fighting; it fully uses the 3D environment and targets your ships key systems and aims for your ships weakspots in shields or systems. You can also collide with other ships which can be handy in desperate times
The graphics are dated by today's standard but the ships are still nicely detailed and show some nice battle damage in those close and intense fights. The space environments are also rich and detailed but the character models for the crew I felt could have looked a little better
Even though this is an old game it has had masses of mods for it one of the best mods I've seen is the Kobayashi Maru 1.0 mod it adds a good 2GB of extras to the game like new ships, new tactics, Ai changes, better ship models plus more

So overall a Great game and one that feel like Star Trek. It is very in-depth and detailed in what you can do leaving you with many tactics to try out and there are plenty of user mods around to improve it even more
