Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Description: Star Trek: The Next Generation, Birth of the Federation is the first PC CD-ROM strategy game based on the rich Star Trek, universe! Forged from the cultures, time lines, events, and technologies of the hit TV show Star Trek: The Next Generation, this turn-based epic emphasizes resource management, combat, and diplomacy. Control one of five major alliances: Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Ferengi, or Cardassian, each with its own set of abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Encounter over 30 exotic races. And beware, there lurks the potential for a Borg invasion--threatening all players! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Game has some bugs...Yes, the game is fun if you like TNG. But, what many people are not saying, the game has a few bugs in it. One of the bigger ones is a "memory leak" which makes the game run extremely slow and sometimes crash after you get to the later turns in the game. Combat is very uncreative, and could use a little better sequences. The only way to win diplomatically is to pay races in credits, which by the TNG Era money was not necessary to Earth or the federation, so the credits are not something ...

The only reason I didn't give five stars was due to the ship design. This is partially because I'm a Star Trek fanatic and so I know these things...for example. The Galaxy Class ship is a 'short range' ship with limited sensors. Obviously, if you know Star Trek, this is far from true. I just feel the ship specs could've been based more on the show and still maintained a balance for the ...

One drawback is the micromanagement and slow speed for larger galaxies. Overall a very good strategy game. Rating:  - Warning: this game is a time eater!This game was the first turn-based strategy game I ever owned. My roomate played Master of Orion 2, but I never got into it because it seemed like it had a high learning curve and seemed kind of boring. However, as a Star Trek fan I heard of this game and somehow got a copy of it cheap from an auction site way back when (good luck doing THAT now. My original copy shattered in my CD drive and I was SHOCKED to see how much an original copy of this game is going for. Microprose would do a lot of business ... Read More Rating: - Tough to get the hang ofI received this game as a second-hand gift from a friend, who told me he was having too much trouble understanding it. I was able to figure it out, but I've played Civs 2 and 3, so I'm used to this game format. Overall, it's a fun game, though I have yet to actually win. Also, some of the technilogical advancements are pretty bland, with level increases being denoted by number (automated farms 6 as opposed to automated farms 5, etc.) Ship level increases are similarly uncreative (increased with the "II" ...
