Summary: Live Long And Prosper, Starship Creator!
Review: "Starship Creator" is one of the best software games I have ever bought. With seven ships (ten with the add-on pack) and tons of missions to test your ship's capabilities with, you can make-belive you are the Admiral of a great "Star Trek" fleet. If you don't have it, buy this product today!

Summary: Great premise, short on action
Review: Being an admitted Trekkie, I was excited to try Starship Creator to try my hand at creating the ultimate starship and blasting some pesky Klingons. The problem is, there are a lot of obstacles in the way of accomplishing this. The game touts itself as a "starship creator," with several class types to mix and match from. In actuality, you have a few ship types and a few customizeable options for each. It doesn't allow for too much creativity. And my dreams of teaming up James T. Kirk with Jean-Luc Picard were dashed. When selecting a crew for your ship, you can only choose a crew from the ship's time period. For example, only characters from the original series can fly in the original Enterprise ship class... Kirk cannot be selected to pilot the ship classes from Next Generation or Voyager. Thus, Kirk and Picard can not serve on the same crew, or Data and Spock, or Sulu and Janeway. This took a lot of the fun out for me. The missions you fly with the ship are simply brutal. There's precious little action and it takes a LONG time, even with the time acceleration on. So I'd say even if you're a Trek fan, I'd be careful of this one.

Summary: Good Game
Review: From what I read in reviews, I thought it was bad, but the people aren't always right. It was pretty cool, designing the ship. The lowest point is that you have almost no control in the missions. I didn't see what people meant by seeing if you had the right crew. I just picked a bunch of my favorates and it turned out fine, everytime.

Summary: Good Game
Review: I bought this game because it sounded good, make your own ship and fly it around. 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. 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. Finally, you don't even get to fly your ship! You just watch a picture of a ship move slowly across the screen and read the occasional messages. The only interaction is one or two questions per mission witch usually are things like "What are our orders? Return to Base or Stay Here?" Don't Waste your money on this game, if you can even call it that.

Summary: It creates nothing
Review: I bought this product with the intent of being an interactive game. Instead, you just watch the screen for what seems an eternity seeing this little blip of a starship that you had just created reach its final destination point. There is no action at all. Very boring just watching the screen and doing nothing. After the first week, I was board after creating the starship you choose. And there very few missions to pick from. Thumbs down.

Summary: A disappointment
Review: I love everything Trek, but this product is ridiculously overpriced. The only fun part is assembling and naming your ship. You don't even get to edit the structure! Every option is built into the game. I had visions of actually designing my own ship, not a "choose your own warp nacelle" game where you have only about 3 options each time. I had visions of sending it on interactive missions. Instead, a pathetic rendition of your ship plods along a map while you read "dialogue" between your crew. Dialogue that would never actually be spoken in a Star Trek series, mind you. And the "missions" you can go on are idiotic. I could have come up with better adventures in 2nd grade. What a waste of a really great concept. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT.

Summary: The coolest Mac program ever that was.
Review: I love this game.
You can mix and match your favourite characters, add on all the starship systems you like, and send your starships on missions.
the part I didn't like was that all the starships followed a traditional design, and you can't create anything completely original. Other than that, this is a blast! (and a phaser blast at that)

Summary: Great!
Review: I loved this sofware, and anyone who likes Star Trek: TOS through Voyager should get this, and anyone interested in the technichal structure of Starships should buy this! I loved it!

Summary: I am going to regret all my life for purchased this game
Review: I purchased this Starship Creator Deluxe Edition. I thought I got a good deal and can't wait to load it into my Pentium II computer. Until I found I just made one big mistake in my life for purchased it.No! Even if you are a Star Trek Fan you won't like it. And even if you have the best computer, this game won't do any good. First of all, you won't get to create or design anything. I am an aerospace engineering student at UCLA, and I found it neither entertaining or educating. Second, you won't get any real 3-D graphics at all. The graphics is slightly better than the X-Wing game came out in 1993. If you try to name your own starships and print them out to show your friends, they will laugh at you. Because the poor graphics looks like you download them from some freeware, and this program can't even put the letters in their actual place on the ship's hull. Anyone who gave even one star to this title was too generous!
