Much better than the first two games!
This game seems more stable than its predecessors. The second game was a little bit unstable but this one runs like a champ.
One very nice feature is the refitting of your starships with various combinations of shields, primary and heavy weapons, bridge systems, and engines. You can make an all energy weapon vessel, all heavy weapon, or a combination of the two. There are also various heavy weapons besides the ubiquitous photon torpedoes.
Overall, I love this game. I have recently started playing it again after a multi-year hiatus and am enjoying it immensely. A must-play for any Trek fan.
