Summary: Hate to agree, but I do.
Review: I really hate to agree--I work for MacMillan!The game is simply not enough--I was hoping for a great deal more, and it doesn't deliver. First--the software itself. It uses a Quicktime-based format that should result in some pretty spectacular graphics. Unfortunately, the game doesn't deliver them, and what is delivered is delivered with infuriating slowness. The "Systems" screen, especially, is terrible; slow to load almost everything, no matter how much RAM you give the program. It's annoying to select something on the clunky drop-down menus, then have to wait for (no exaggeration) 20 seconds or so before the selection even STARTS to load. Other problems abound; don't even try to use the page that supposedly allows you to preview your ship in a "wireframe model"; it doesn't work, and often crashes. So does naming your ship. you will more often than not get a "code error" that crashes the game then and there. And the "Missions"--these are missions? If I want to see a static display where the only action is a scroll of words, I'll just read a "Star Trek" novel--which is probably more exciting. I've learned to simply go read or watch TV--let the ship run along on its own. In fairness, I will mention that the new "Expanded" version is a bit better--the bugs that crash the machine in the naming and preview areas are now fixed, and it also adds some missions with actual graphics (static ones, anyway) as well as a few new ships. However, those are the only improvements--not nearly enough for my taste. Did I mention that MacMillan is under new ownership now? =-)

Summary: The coolest Mac program ever that was.
Review: I, like the others here, thought that this game would be wonderful. 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. This does not even come up to the level of a screen saver--a total waste of money.

Summary: Hard
Review: It's very slow, and takes a long time. If you don't know about Star Trek, it would be hard to design a starship.

Summary: Very poor support
Review: Mediocre product, IF you can install it. If not, Macmillan's support group is completely incapable of anything beyond generic troubleshooting.

Summary: not as bad as everybody says
Review: most evrybody who has this game basically says that it's a bad game with a few nice points. but, i think it's a good game, with a few weak points. the music is AWESOME. you'd think John Williams directed it! i must admit, the selection of starships is rather low, and when i heard about the game, i thought i could mix, say a sovereign-class nacelle with an intrepid-class saucer. turns out ya can't. but, you can come up with some pretty different designs. and, after the deluxe version, 3 more classes, 2 being extremely awesome! is starship creator slow? not for me, but my comp. has 333 mhz and 64 RAM. maybe it just works better on Macs, i dunno. don't evn think about getting this if you don't know the trek world, but if you are a hard-core trekkie, i strongly recommend it.

Summary: Boring but OK
Review: Star Trek: Starship Creator is somewhat limited since you really don't have control over everything. You have to make the ship out of pre-selected parts and you really cant customixe the ship. What about the money? I thought that in the Star Trek Universe money didn't exsist and it also limits you abilities. On the inside you can only add systems and you really cant build a cool interior and explore it! You cant even see anything but the hull. I also dont like the limited characters since you cant cross over officers such as putting James Kirk as Captain of Voyager etc... The missions do run on Real time and are very dull and boring since the computer does it all buy it's self. You can speed up the mission by hitting the Accelerate button but that only speeds it up a few seconeds. I would recommend Star Trek Creator: Add On since its a little better but not by much. Also if any of the Star Trek: Starship Creator producers are reading this they need to make a new game that you can design every inch and fill in every crewman, the missions should be made to be like the ones in Star Trek: Armada since you control everything. If your planning to make your own mission and make yourself an officer forget about it. It takes forever to read all of the instructions. If your a full-fledged Trekkie this game is OK but if you've seen about 15 episodes it'll bore you to sleep.

Summary: Create a Starship and then what...
Review: Starship Creator sounds like every Star Trek fan's dream: Build your ship, choose your "dream" crew and then fly it. Once you start to build your ship, you will soon see that there isn't much freedom to build a ship. You have a pre-set amount of parts to choose from and that is it. Then you get to choose your crew, which is fun, because you can choose from many of the established characters. But once you get to fly your ship, the programs looses all of it's since of awe. It is very boring from this point forward. Yes, this is yet another collectors item, but nothing more.

Summary: Starship Creator: Review
Review: Starship Creator: Review by, Jay I would say that this is a good game if you are intrested in the different classes and staffing ships. However, when I bought this, I was expecting to design my own ships, not choose a class, name it, staff it, and choose parts for it. The missions are horrible. They are time consuming and you have no power once they are started. The dialoge, which supposedly happens between different crewmembers, is the same each time, boring, and they would not really say those things. The graphics and sound are the best part of this game, as well as the background information on the crewmembers. There is no differece between the Intrpid class and Constitution class, except in capacity in equipment and etc. Don't waste your money, the games on startrek.com are cheaper, and better than this game right here.
