It is a bit simplified for my taste, but it is still really fun. It is obvious that many, many expansions are going to come from this and what is lacking will probably be added in time. My only 3 complaints are that the rules need to be clarified in certain sections, the star ships only have one type per race, and the system discs are too big (it doesn't allow for as many systems on the map as I would like). But, it is a lot of fun otherwise and a must-have for any star-trek fan. Playing as the Romulans, I used my cloaking device to completely destroy the Klingons on the offensive. You got to love this game.
