I'm a big startrek fan, but I didn't think the demo was that good. It's wayyyyy to scripted. It proudly claims that you can fine tune the ship to your hearts content, but I thought that area was quite lacking as well. It seems much too 'canned'.
Quick Combat was a little better. But they might as well just stick you at Tactical rather than the cap'n chair. Unless I'm missing something really big, the enemy ships are incredibly hard to destroy, as is your own ship. Damage assessment is virtually non-existant. I destroyed an enemy's (Federation Galaxy Class) entire rear half, engineering, warp and impulse engines, all aft shielding, etc. And it continued to move around, return fire and so on. Yet I still pumped 20-30 torps and countless phaser fire into the unshielded section with little noticable effect. I still haven't successfully destroyed a Romulan Warbird on medium AI by myself.
Anyone else have similar thoughts?
