Pros
Pro Polished writing with a great sense of humor that should amuse just about anyone
Both the comedic writing and delivery are top notch. Not only that, the gameplay elements reinforce the absurdity of the presentation - "Credibility" instead of HP, moves like Swagger or Epic Speech and "pimping" your apartment for stat boosts.
Pro Unique turn-based gameplay that offers a rarely seen look into an imaginary world of lawyers
You take turns choosing from a select set of skills, such as Mesmerize, Ego boost, Tamper with Evidence, etc to get rid of witnesses, evidence, and prosecutors. This makes for a unique twist on turn-based gameplay, setting the skills in the lawyer world of showmanship.

A detailed, colorful and varied aesthetic throughout the game. Ships, menus, and cut-scenes are all beautifully made.
Pro Offers a great sense of humor, with a nod to many sci-fi classics
A lot of references to Star Trek and other sci-fi shows can be seen in dialogue and other aspects of the game.
Pro Very in-depth starship management, where you can customize your ship how you like
You get to decide which components go where, which crew members to assign where, etc.
Pro Frantic mini-game combat that compartmentalizes the action quite well
Star Command relies heavily on minigames and time management based gameplay.
Cons

Con Should be free on Android
Con Not free
Con Unstable
The game might crash often so save often.
Con Game gets repetitive quickly
Since the game is admittedly unfinished, the campaign is quite short and there's not really much to do besides ship combat. Many planets can't be explored and there's no real ending, you just start all over again with the same story.

The developers themselves have said that the game is about 30% of what they envisioned.
