Star Trek is easily one of the biggest sci-fi franchises in existence. Star Trek: Alien Domain is a 2D free-to-play strategy game based on the expansive Star Trek universe. The browser game has been around for quite some time now as GameSamba launched it in 2007. GameSamba is a top developer of free-to-play mobile and browser games.

Alien Domain introduces fresh Star Trek plots with many new species and starships. Players are allowed to join either the Federation or Klingon Empire to battle a more powerful enemy, Species 8472.

Species 8472 is malicious, violent beings that pose a threat to the Federation and Klingon Empire. Whichever team you pick has its tools and resources to offer, including officers, ships, and unique gameplay experience. The Federation Empire offers Defiant-class and Constitution-class starships while Birds of Prey and D7 Battle Cruisers are available on the Klingon Empire.

The average Federation starship has lower dodge, crit, and attack speeds relative to Klingon starships. However, they have better shields that add to their durability. Federation starships are ideal for defensive and strategic battles in fluidic space. Players have the option of building new ships by testing the latest technologies on the home base.

Players start with low-performance ships but then build their way up to more advanced ships. You can also customize your weapons and battle abilities, which gives the feeling of a truly-dynamic space force. Enemy forces will challenge your starship fleet’s strength, so it’s best to pay attention when building the ships. The fan base can’t get enough of this MMO strategy experience.

The gameplay involves building a base of operations by securing valuable resources while researching the latest technologies for attacking enemy targets. After the station has been completed, the players explore the fluidic space to attack the enemies with the gathered skills and weapons. Base development is a critical aspect of your gaming performance.

The base is where you build starships, repair starships, produce resources, store resources, unlock tech, and perform tech upgrades. Space fighting is accessible on both PvE and PvP modes. The game combines elements from these two modes into a single unique gameplay experience. Winning your battles depends on the strategic use of fighter ships and skills in your battle formations.

Players can create small colonies and outposts on planetoids by exploring into deep, unclaimed regions of fluidic space. These are new regions where players can find new allies and enemies to either join or battle. You also get to defend your colonies against attacks from other players in the universe.

An opposing faction can destroy these colonies; hence, you must upgrade your fleet’s power and erect defensive structures to protect your assets. Note that other factions can’t damage your home base. Your home base is the most efficient tool in building a fleet of mission-ready fighter ships. The starships are your means of combat and transport in the game.

The goal is to build or obtain powerful starships for protecting your home base and fleet from enemy attacks. You can make a new starship after passing three game requirements: shipyard level, technology level, and unlocking the starship’s blueprints. The first two requirements can be completed by upgrading buildings and researching several technologies on your base.

You need to pass Elite levels to find and secure the blueprints for new starships. The shields of your starships always regenerate after every battle. However, you must proceed to a starport or shipyard to fix damages on the hull. Doing this costs resources, but it boosts the durability of the starship’s hull back to its normal state.

You can purchase a consumable, Repair Robot, to activate emergency repairs when you need it. Your hull durability can be recovered to a maximum of 70% using a repair robot. There are different formations you can use to control your fleet of starships in battles. You can set your fleet formations by placing the back and front rows in defense, attack arrangements.

One of the most popular strategies is to place the offensive starships in the back rows while the front rows have defensive starships. You can recruit officers to boost the abilities of your starships. There are different, beneficial attributes to be found on various officers in the game. You can upgrade the characteristics of an officer by increasing their level.

The game has a lot and more to offer players. You can play the game smoothly on any updated web browser on a PC. We advise you to use the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, or IE for optimized gameplay experience.
