Have been playing today, great fun so far!

I'm a relative newcomer to the game, but couldn't resist dipping back in for the DS9 content.

Apart from the very nice new station, I'm finding the game itself a bit tedious. It's very button-mashy.

And having the right actors for many roles is nice, but a lot of them seem a little out of character. (I know it's set later, but still...) Whoever was responsible for the pronunciation guide on the game earns my scorn. Why is everyone saying "doh-see" and "kuh-rem-uh" instead of "doh-sigh" and "karr-em-uh"? Boo!

Or am I being too hard on the game?

I agree about button mashing, the combat mechanics are pretty basic.

The main reason I play it is for the episodes, although the "fight in space, beam down and fight on planet/ship, beam up fight in space again" gets a bit tiring.

Buy tbf basically all MOM'S are repetitive its just the name of the game.

That's kept me going so far, but I am a little disappointed in the disconnect some of the character stuff has. Maybe I'm expecting too much, but a lot of it feels like stock-standard character interactions with the DS9 names plugged in. Not all, mind you! Some really feels right...but some of it feels really off.

That said, I am aware it's a free game so I'm definitely getting more than I paid for.

They really should have destroyed the station in the previous episode and used the novel verse one here.

No thanks. That design is ugly.

the Cardassian design is more recognizable to fans then that. Makes for better marketing

The design grows on you over time.

It really doesn’t.

I have a question about the gamma recruit rewards. How do you "complete a queue"

I am pretty sure I've done this, both the gamma quad ones and others like crystalline catastrophe but it's not registering
