How are these better than Star Fleet Battles? Based upon the grand old table top game.
Pure combat, maneuver, phrases shields, tractors beams, shuttle crafts loaded with missiles. Will your boarding parties conduct a successful hit and run raids? Drop your shield and beam a mine into the path of an on coming ship.
And you are not stuck on a Federation ship!
Play as a Kiligon vs. Romulan vs. Gorn vs. Orion Pirate vs. Knizit (animated series).
Will three frigrates take down 1 heavy cruiser?
While very difficult to control 2 ships at the same time and an AI opponent you charges in, it is still great.
