I certainly wouldn’t bother signing up for SFC as a new player. Almost everything n the game is now up for purchase (with cash), and some of the purchasables are all but required to stay competitive. The ‘sequel’ to SFC (Stardrift Empires) is exactly the same game but with new graphics. There’s almost nothing else that’s different from SFC.

It’s a shame. SFC was a very good game when it started out, but Blue Frog have pretty much nerfed it with all the buyable stuff, and the lack of fixes for game bugs. It’s firmly oriented at players who are willing to regularly pay to play.

Actually I think its really good that people post their honest opinions about the game. Posting reviews and the like helps other people make a decision about whether they want to play. Based on the sheer volume of extremely negative responses from people who have poured a lot of time into this game I know that I would not want to play it.

ive been playing for a year now. it seems like most of you think this game is populated enitrely with total jerks who only want to piss the other players off and deliberatly screw with you. yes, there are people like that in this game. i got hit by one with a heph the other day. lost everything. i called on my friends, and we crushed it in return. the ARE honest, friendly people in this game. when i left newbie, one player noticed, and buddied me. he didnt attack, didnt probe, didnt do anything other than buddy me and send me a message saying i was out of newbie. if you dont like the game, shut up, and stop posting. dont log in anymore and a month later your account dissapears. if you play the game, you play the game. if you dont, you dont. its a freaking GAME! so get your heads out of your asses, you whiners, and go complain to someone who gives a shit about your problems.

I’ve been trying to get on Starfleet all day through FB and have not been able to. When the game does come up, you can not click on anything without getting an error message. What’s up?

BFG ruined what could’ve been a great continuing game by coming up with three other universes and diluting the player pool too much. The stupid oracle and heph class ship. They take way too long to respond to players.

you need mor sheeps to do the missions at the same time or you need mor AI-Tech, if you had before 12 at one time i think there are not enough ships.

This game, like most Facebook games, mines your account for info to sell. Be wary of putting anything on your facebook account you do not want a corporation or business to know. There are no graphics, there is no sound, the game is a spreadsheet. Additionally, SFC is a copy of older games which themselves were nothing more than modified lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets. Having said that this game is for bullies and adult babies. Hacks are rampant and easy to obtain. Cheating is common. Rules changes are frequent. While its impossible to kill an opponent outright it is very easy to destroy months worth of builds in defenses or fleets in a few minutes. This is to “encourage” ppl to “buy” temporary defensive upgrades. The only viable game tactic is an all out offense using hacks to expand your fleets rapidly. The moderators, employees of Bluefrog gaming, who are supposed to be there to suspend cheater accounts or otherwise restrain bad behavior do nothing about obvious hacks or cheaters in their sectors of responsibility. A player must turn someone in with real time data (to catch the cheater in the act of cheating, residual proof that a cheat happened is not enough) otherwise BF does noting. This means, if you do not cheat yourself, the only viable non-cheat or hack tactic is running or hiding with your fleets until you can turn the other guy in. Paradoxically, the moderators WILL suspend players for “inappropriate” behavior frequently. As the rules are arbitrary and subject to frequent change the moderators are used by ppl to suspend other less up to date or knowledgeable players as part of a game tactic!!! The only way to protect your fleets or defenses is to suspend other players for using the same cheats or inappropriate behavior everyone else is using. This encourages an infantile “informant” like political behavior among the old timers in which they use cheats and/or influence with the moderators to crush any talented newbie. The game sucks and is the worst I’ve ever had the misfortune to play. I feel sorry for anyone who must spend a year learning these lessons as I did
