Hi, MY biggest criticism has to be the way you can play it: if you just wait at a starbase, all your enemies come to you. Strategically I call that suicide.

That's truly one of the disadvantages to move based games like STFC or Trek 2000 is you can fly right into an armada of enemy ships and get destroyed without even having a chance to fire a shot. That happened tonight a couple of times and it was extremely frustrating. Especially, since I was handing their butts to them whenever I got a real chance to mix it up with the enemy fleets. My next Star Trek game will be more of a starship sym where you command a single vessel like the Enterprise and carry out various missions. Basically, what I am thinking of is something like Lone Wolf, but with a Star Trek type theme to it. In that way it will be more like the television series because you might have x number of missions to select from and play out in real time. Although, after having played Time of Conflict it would be cool to actually have a real time strategy Star Trek game where you command Starfleet and have to build and supply several ships. In a case like that you would have a variety of classes to build, each with specific functions, and you'd have to build planetary defenses around the home worlds of the Federation. You would have to manage fleet deployments and set up stations where you could easily block an incoming invasion. It would be very interesting to see a game like that. Cheers!
