I've been playing on and off for a year now, and it's improved massively.

I can't stand the multiplayer, but it's surprisingly a very good single player experience. I like the weekly missions. It's the closest you're gonna get to Star Trek on the TV each week (the way it should be).

Also, love the foundry (custom) missions too! They're sometimes better than the missions the devs make!

Oh yeah, gonna start playing this again soon. I miss my ship! :-[

Downloaded and started playing it. Its not bad. I am partial to the ship to ship fighting as opposed to the away missions, but it is all good.

No World of Tanks....but it is a good distraction.

Ya it's improved a lot, I've only played 2 of the player content and they were good.

Scott I enjoy both but the space combat is really good, soon I'll be doing the Borg missions and I'm looking forward to that.

I could never get into wot prob because I was to busy in eve

Can play WoT any time, doesn't have to just be in the evenings.

Coming soon as well, World of Aircraft, and later, World of Battleships!

Free to play  :o

I used to play this when it first came out and it didn't grab me the way i'd hoped it would, how have they improved the gameplay? I always liked the ship-to-ship stuff but the away missions bored the hell outta me big time.

I do miss playing SFC and this was the closest i've found too it in a long time.

Thanks very much for the info, spud!
Had some really great gaming hours tonight having read your post and immediately registered.
Always wanted to play this MMOG but waited right for this moment - I knew it would come eventually :)
And you know, pretty much enjoyed the gaming experience - a really well done game.
Doubt that I would devote really much to it with the running account in SW: The Old Republic (after all this game can't bit it imho) but still would love to see some more outer-space planet where no one has gone before))

its good fun that dont cost a penny, but if you like the game you can still pay a sub.. I also wanted to play this game but  running 3-4 eve accounts kinda made it hard but now its free, and i dont play eve as much as i used to thank to me taking up this hoby again :)

Matt, the ground combat is much faster than before. There's an FPS mode, but that doesn't work very well.

It's not such a grind anymore, and there are endless missions to play in the foundry.

Best thing though IMO, is the duty officer system. Basically, you've got a compliment of crewmen, ensigns and civilian experts, whom you can send on mini missions for extra XP. You've got to assign them duties on the roster, send them on research, diplomacy, tactical missions. Just like a real crew!!!  :D

They've done a good job with it I think.

Photonic fleet rocks!

I'm on the brink of promotion to rear Admiral!!!  Gonna keep my title as Captain though, and I'm not changing my pips.  :)
