Game play is primarily split between ground and space combat, with the bulk of my time being spent up in the air. And in the game the star trek credits is very important and if you play the game you should have enough them. You have not only got to position yourself close enough to an enemy to be able to attack them, but you have got powers to activate when ready, shield positioning, hull strength, and much, much more to think about.
It is confusing and a little too much when starting, but once you get a few fights under your belt you'll be good to go. Instead of dialing in a number and watching as a character goes through a canned animation, you have actively got to be involved in the fighting, moving around, and jockeying for position. You can crouch for better accuracy, run up to a character to perform a melee attack, double tap in a direction to duck and roll out of blaster fire, and you are even rewarded with extra damage if you can flank an enemy.
In terms of quests, the game features a handful of different themes, which are played out in episodes. Primarily, quests are broken down into a handful of categories.
1) Destroy all enemies.
2) Engage in Fleet Action (large public quest skirmishes).
3) Seek out enemy signals in patrol blocks.
4) Search for clues or information to solve a problem.
5) Run around a planet's surface and click on various objects.
6) Do random quests in an exploration zone.
For the most part, quests are generally fun; especially multi-part quests that run the gamut of the categories. So if you have not played the game yet, I think you should try playing the game, and then you will like it! We are waiting for your coming!
