If you play, for example, the Federation, then one finds from the Oberth-class over the familiar Galaxy class (Enterprise) to the Defiant everything your heart desires Trek, as well as in other nations. Smaller breeds such as the Vulcans or Betazoids provide variety. There has been much emphasis on the areas of expertise of the people and that is really successful, one must simply try each the freedom of action of the game quite large. The battles are not bad, but too short, not as jewelery and soon boring (despite the beautiful ships ...). The diplomacy part is good, although you can not really get away with it to victory.
