Star Trek: Starship Creator Reviews
This game was kind of cool, but it could have been better. A cheat is that you can export ships, import them to your favorite admiral, build up a fleet, then de-comission them all to get a ton of credits, as the ship and upgrades cost something but changing the parts around do not. This is the same in all of the ships varied from 3 parts to 8.
On a lighter note, it allows you to change the ships around, so that, for instance, if you wanted to re-create the Defiant, you could change 3 things: the warp nacelles, the main body, and the back of it. You could almost sleep through it. This game was a bit boring, as the missions were just one of the things that you would watch and that was that.
You can even choose the crew, and change around the drew dossier. I am playing it on a Windows 2000 system, and it runs pretty slow, but if you have Windows '98, it should work fine. It's a very good game, and I would reccomend it.
You can mix and match your favourite characters, add on all the starship systems you like, and send your starships on missions. I love this game. (and a phaser blast at that) Other than that, this is a blast. the part I didn't like was that all the starships followed a traditional design, and you can't create anything completely original.
This does not even come up to the level of a screen savera total waste of money. The idea of designing, building, testing, and flying ones own Starfleet vessel was very intriguing; then, I played the 'game.' It was a complete waste of time, far too slow, and did not offer any exciting aspects that are present not only in the series' but in other ST games as well. I, like the others here, thought that this game would be wonderful.
I just picked a bunch of my favorates and it turned out fine, everytime. The lowest point is that you have almost no control in the missions. From what I read in reviews, I thought it was bad, but the people aren't always right. I didn't see what people meant by seeing if you had the right crew. It was pretty cool, designing the ship.
Finally, you don't even get to fly your ship. The only interaction is one or two questions per mission witch usually are things like "What are our orders. I bought this game because it sounded good, make your own ship and fly it around. Then when you are picking your crew it doesnt make any difference who you pick, ther are no specials, and the crew never does anything, you don't even have to pick anyone. There is no plot, you just pick a mission from the list and it does it, then you pick another one. When you are building your ship the only thing limiting what you can put in your ship is energy, but you have enough energy to put in the maximum of everything. You just watch a picture of a ship move slowly across the screen and read the occasional messages. Return to Base or Stay Here." Don't Waste your money on this game, if you can even call it that.
