3.0 out of 5 stars
helpful, yes; definitive, no,
By
This review is from: Star Trek: Starfleet Command Official Strategies & Secrets (Paperback)
Starfleet Command came with a better manual than many games, and this guide is a helpful add-on to it. The mission analyses are useful; there is good discussion on campaign play and play vs. humans; the tactics sections and tables are well done.However, since the manual was published, Interplay got around to releasing the Hydran campaign special missions; those, obviously, aren't in the book. Not a knock, just something the buyer should know. Conspicuously absent is a section on how to fight against and with each nationality; such sections exist for the different weapons, but not for the entire nationality. (For example, a discussion of anti-expanding sphere tactics, or how best to avoid ever letting a Hydran get a close range shot at you.) While there's a listing of all the ships, nothing is said about their unique qualities (for example, the old Federation destroyer not having nearly enough power to charge its weapons and move). Better than many of the 'strategy guides' being sold, but could have been better still. Recommended mainly if you're finding some of the missions frustrating.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent mission overview, but lacking in details,
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Trek: Starfleet Command Official Strategies & Secrets (Paperback)
Very thorough coverage of the missions, and some tactical information. However I found that the strategy guide lacked the internal information that I expect to see in every guide of this type. Things like formulas, weapon specifics, explanation of some things not in the manual (game effects of a type B rack for example) and the most prominent missing item: full overviews of each race, their advantages and disadvantages, and possible strategies against enemies of other races. This overview, for those interested, can be found in SFB Module D2: Tournament Tactics. Although aimed towards the tournament ships, you will get a good idea of good playing techniques for each race.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This hint book rocks!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Trek: Starfleet Command Official Strategies & Secrets (Paperback)
"Starfleet Command" is a great game and not easy to master, but this book makes the process much easier. Two of the contributors were on the development team that built the game, and they provide excellent insider advice. There's fine tactical training, and I liked the hints about how to deal with the space monsters who are scattered around the game. All in all, the book is well worth buying.
