/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I've always meant to play it. Is it any good?
It is free and the stories are written pretty well. Gameplay is okay, but it is free entertainment. When I hit the end game i bought a ship for $20 USD, I got my monies worth.
Sort of. Lots of interesting stories. I really love the ship-based combat but dread the ground-based. It’s my favorite Star Trek game.
I play too, and concur with your assessment.
It's a little bit of a shame because the ground combat does have some interesting mechanics (expose/exploit, for instance), but it's just a little too RPG-like and laggy to work well as a first-person shooter.
Pro-tip: prioritize ground speed for your endeavour rewards because the faster you run the quicker you can complete ground daily TFOs.
Prioritizing movespeed is like the secret weapon of most games like this.
Wait, better than either Armada and Elite Force?
It tried to capture the feeling of missions from some of the older Star Trek games, but it being an MMO kind of ruined that for me. Maybe it's better now with more improvements and less people running through the newbie areas like in the first days, but it threw me off. Ship parts were the best. Honestly I was looking for an online version of Starfleet Command, which even SFO didn't quite have the nuances of.
There's a lot of jank and mmo monetization, the ground combat is kinda boring, but the rest flying around the universe doing missions feels like show episodes, picking and outfitting ships and space combat was interesting, I though was pretty fun
I still feel like the ground combat was an after thought added to pad the game. I stopped playing it over a year ago and even then it still felt janky
