...my review of Star Trek: Fleet Captains is live on the Opinionated Gamers website:

http://opinionatedgamers.com/2011/09/23/the-best-diplomat-th...

a couple of highlights:

- "I know I sound like a broken record – but the theme comes through so strongly from every element of the game. This is especially true for the power adjustment mechanic, which allows you to vary your stats to send power to Sensors, Shields, Weapons or Engines… which makes me feel like I’m sitting in the captain’s chair myself."
- "I think that Fleet Captains does what it sets out to do and does it well – the game gives you a great big Star Trek sandbox to play in and fills it with a truckload of thematically appropriate “toys”: ships, encounter, crew, etc."

Excellent review. I think you hit the nail on the head by describing this as an "experience" game or dungeonquest in space. You never know when a supernova will explode in your face!

It's dripping with theme so much it's oozing out of the box, and that's a good thing. It's a blast to play and the random setup makes it different every time. I don't know what ships I'm getting or what missions.

I want to play it more. In fact, I'm working on a solo mode just so I can!
