Someone once posted that if it wasn’t a Star Trek game it would have died years ago…and I still believe that holds true. The space combat is fun, but I always felt that the ground play was added as an afterthought. It’s certainly gotten a lot better over the years but even today feels like it was tacked on to pad out the gameplay.
The ground sections absolutely feel tacked on. They were what would end up killing my interest. That, and the F2P model in general makes for a bad experience in my opinion.
The F2P had definitely gotten much better since the early days of the game. Obviously paying players have a clear advantage but it hasn’t bothered me as much this go around. F2P players have access to almost all of the same gear but it’d just require a ton of grinding to close the gap.
