Free to Play · Out Now Play Free on PC

Star Trek Fleet Command (STFC) is a free-to-play mobile and PC 4X strategy MMO set in the Kelvin-timeline Star Trek universe, built by Digit Game Studios and published by Scopely. You build and upgrade a space station, crew and command a fleet of iconic ships, mine resources, hunt hostiles, and wage real-time PvP across shared galaxy servers with thousands of other commanders. Since its 2018 launch it has expanded far beyond the films to fold in Discovery, The Original Series, TNG, DS9, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds and Enterprise, adding a steady stream of ships, officers and factions. It is a live-service game driven by alliances, events, and monthly content arcs.

The Preview

Our TakeWorth It

STFC nails the Star Trek fantasy — recruiting Kirk, Spock and Picard and flying the Enterprise into a real-time fleet brawl is genuinely fun, and the alliance-driven PvP endgame has real depth. But it's a textbook Scopely live-ops title: progress is gated behind grind and aggressive monetization, and top-tier competition effectively requires spending. Great for lore fans and social alliance players; frustrating for anyone allergic to gacha-style paywalls.

How It Compares

All comparisons →

Versus

Star Trek Fleet Command vs Star Trek Online

Same IP, opposite genres — STFC is a mobile-first 4X base-builder where you command fleets from above, while STO is a PC/console MMORPG where you personally pilot a ship and walk the decks.

Versus

Star Trek Fleet Command vs EVE Online / EVE Echoes

Both are space 4X games built on mining, alliances and territorial PvP, but STFC trades EVE's brutal sandbox depth for licensed Star Trek accessibility and guided progression.

Versus

Star Trek Fleet Command vs MARVEL Strike Force / Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes

The classic 'licensed IP over a live-ops gacha loop' comparison — if you've played a big Scopely/EA collection RPG, STFC's events, shards and monetization cadence will feel instantly familiar.
