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.
Pro View stars from a different time period or place on earth
Star Chart lets users see the sky as it was 10,000 years ago, or as it will be in 10,000 years. It also lets people see what the sky would look like from a different place on earth .
Pro Perfectly looking on screen!
It is fun to stargaze :)
Pro Provides useful information
Star Chart comes with the Messier Deep Sky catalog which contains information about galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters.
Cons
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.
Con Incomplete game
The developers themselves have said that the game is about 30% of what they envisioned.
Con Limited Data information
Limited information about listed objects.
Con Lots of information is blocked by in app purchases
Instead of offering everything for a flat rate, every additional feature is offered at anywhere from $2.99 to $9.99.
Con Limited "search" function
Instead of doing global search in between all object sets, you have to choose up front the set to be searched (stars, constellations, etc.) - which is inconvenient if you do not know to which set the object belongs (i.e. is it a star, a planet, a comet, etc.).
Con High on energy
Unfortunately, uses a lot of battery.
