Summary: Great Idea, [bad] follow thru!
Review: This game idea has the potential to be a great ship creator. However,it sucks! Even the delux version with it's expansion set is only more of the same. You don't actualy get to design a ship, you get to pick a type of ship and customize it. You can't use your own ideas, only the designs included in the game. The missions are rather pathetic. The only power you have is to order the ship to depart, other than that you get to watch. Sure you can make your own missions, but only if you have enough programming experience to MAKE this game. The missions are incredibly SLOW. You can send you ship on a mission, make dinner, eat, clean up, and then the ship might be finished. If I were you I wouldn't wate my money on this game. Its fun for about an hour.

Summary: Starship Crash Creator
Review: This game is a stinking pile of crap. The best part about this game is the name it doesn't deserve- Starship Creator Deluxe. And the fun pretty much ends there. This CD features what Simon and Schuster call customisation options (an add-on disk that is a re-rendering of ships that you wouldn't care to see anyway), which also wastes your time creating variations of 10 ships that are not that much different (or any more fun) than what's already in the game. While you can supposedly interact with your customisable crew (um...well by selecting them from a list), and design the most heavily armed ship in starfleet (keep in mind, you choose all of this from a very limited list of parts and it is more like an interactive encyclopedia than anything creative), your choices are controlled by a budget (which completely ignores the ST universe). Then participate in missions with your new ship to see what it feels like to pay good money just to find out you're an idiot for buying this game. It begins with an insult to the name "Star Trek" featuring a graphic display that is NOT 3D, NOT 2D, NOT REALTIME, NOT CONTROLLED, AND NOT FUN!!! I urge any and all individuals who have possession of this game to burn it at their first opportunity. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a -1. If you are a gaming masochist, then by all means, be my guest and observe what has to be the worst ST game/simulator I have ever seen. I've downloaded free ST games that were better than this worthless piece of trash. Please heed my words, "SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!" I would rate this game with "0" Stars but the rating system doesn't allow that. This game sucks.

Summary: Really Really Bad
Review: This game is BAAAAD. I gave it one star because it is somewhat entertaining building your ship, but after that what do you really do with it? The missions are a joke, they look like a really crappy Flash website.

Summary: A Good game if you know how to use it
Review: This may not be a fast pased game. But it is worth the money. I'd say this is a game for any one who can tell conversationly what an inertial dampening system is. This game is a good way to explore teck of Trek. Along wit the diversity of systems is the ability to pock the bridge crew with alot of charecters in the shows or those who are not From Kirk to Samantha Wildman. The missions are a bit slow pased but interact with what systems that you choose. Examle: in one mission you try to convince an ambassador to join the Federation but is claustrapobic and escapes in a shuttle which will make you fail unless you use tractor beams. but the whole inciden is avoided with a holodeck. I for one enjoy it and hope you do to.

Summary: Truth Be Told
Review: Truth be told, this game is terrible. It might sound interesting to design your own star trek ships, but this game doesn't the worst job. There is no action after you design your ships -- that is, you can't really do anything with them. To shorten this up: Don't waste your money on this cheap program.

Summary: Great idea, but it bombed out flat
Review: When I first heard about this I thought it would be the best ST software out there. We could make our own ships? Create crews and even go on missions. I thought that would kick a$$. I had grown board of the relativley dull games that don't let you actually eperience trek. I put it on my wish list for my birthday which was a few days after it first came out. I got it and installed it and thought it was great. two hours later I was surfing the web. It's boring. That simple, BOOOORING. The designers came up with a great concept, but the configurations are not interesting and the mission mode is just stupid. If you have money to throw away, you could get it. It might be better with 3 more classes of ships, but not that much better.

Summary: Only OK
Review: When I first heard of the idea for this game, i thought it would be interesting. What I didn't relize is there is no "cross-bredding" of ships. You can't have a Galaxy Saucer with an Akira body with Defiant Nacelles. Also, they have four presets for each part, and not a way for you to design a totally new saucer. As aforementioned, since there is no cross bredding, you cannot make a new class. And, one of the true low points of the game is, since you are an admiral, not a captian, you just send the ship out and your "capable" crew does the rest. No Control, no nothing.
