I have been playing this game for a few months now, having grown up with Star Trek being a staple part of my T.V. Diet, I decided to download the game,even though I was attached to another game which I was playing on a daily bases. The storyline which helps you around the initial basics and systems in the galaxy, station you command and the ships, and continues all the way through the progress of your game and levels was what initially attracted me, then alliances were introduced to my game play
