Leave a Review Star Trek Fleet Command
Pay to Play Money Magnet
I’ve been playing the game for well over 2 years, am now ops43. Yes I can say I’ve spent a little on the battle passes and the odd ship / officer but the new changes recently are just greed from the developers. If you want to be successful these days, you need to pay minimum $500 per month to stay relevant or you get left behind and become cannon fodder for those who do spend. Now they have reduced the value of refined materials (needed to level up buildings, ships & research) for materials sms / slb events, so it’s not possible to gain even one tier unless you spend $100 minimum. So the game I loved for so long has now been changed to a bigger cash cow than it was and basically telling those free to play to go find another game. I like many will no doubt drop this game into the delete basket very soon if changes aren’t made for the better for free to play
We’ll adding onto this I’ve reached Ops49 and for the past 2 months have only played two of three times a week for about an hour each time - it’s become monotonous and boring as the drive for more spending is pushed to the player. The arcs have become ridiculously far away from Star Trek obviously designed by people with little idea about the fan base - do Scopley ever listen? No so don’t expect them to - we’re tiny drops in a much larger oceanShow lessChina col

The game is beautiful and fun to play but be forewarned…they have issues if you are playing on a mobile device. I’m using an Apple iPad Pro…latest software and very strong WiFi. Never had any issues with other games but this one is terrible. The game freezes up, items lose part or all of their values. I have to close the app and restart it constantly. Support suggested that I delete the game and reinstall it. I’ve done that numerous times. I’m currently working with their support to try and resolve the issues but according to others this is systemic to using a mobile device. They encourage you to use a laptop or PC…even give you extra daily rewards if you do. Again this is a beautiful game and I’m doing my best to stay with it. I’ve put a lot of money into it because I do like it. If you are using a laptop or PC don’t hesitate to download the game…you’ll love it. Mobile users beware.
Update:
I have sent dozens of screenshots to support showing them my issues. They insist everything is functioning fine…even though I’m having to delete and reinstall the game daily to just try and play it. Their support knows they have major issues but as long as they’re still bringing in the money they’ll ignore them. Losing players isn’t a problem for them if they still have big spenders. I don’t mind pay to win…I gave them $2k in a short period of time….but if I can’t play the game because of the bugs and they insist nothing is wrong then I’m out of here.Show lessStitches228

In many respects, this is a great game. Engaging content, great visuals and a large and dedicated gamer community. But this game is like a Tesla car. Full of driving promise, but fundamentally plagued with non-stop issues of quality control and scale.
It’s also an inside joke/lament among those who play STFC that Scopely is more interested in maximizing revenue than addressing player concerns. For example, stability of the iOS version is poor. Frequent crashes often interrupt play (to be fair, these have improved recently). But new bugs accompany every game update and rarely seem to be fixed rapidly.
Scopely periodically acknowledges just how burdensome daily game tasks have become — then promptly adds more (often buggy) content. And with every new feature, F2P progress becomes increasingly challenging.
I should also warn you that the fun and flow of this game is severely marred by interminable transition screens. Get used to messages such as “Preparing” or “Adjusting” as you wait for game screens to load. And that’s if you don’t have to reboot.
If, like the Tesla owner, you can look past the glitchy performance, and can ignore expensive in-game purchases necessary to compete effectively, you will really enjoy this Trek tribute. If not, you will quickly end up frustrated by Scopely’s missed chance to make this a truly epic game, which it has the potential to be.Show lessAlnacoal
