Four game types are included: Survival, a single-player mode in which Starfleet captains must blast through waves of enemy ships while grabbing power-ups and taking care not to lose all three of their lives; Team Deathmatch, pitting teams against each other in winner-takes-all battles; Conquest, in which teams protect and conquer control points in space; and Assault, where teams take turns attacking or defending an area of space.
Each side has five types of ships available: missile cruiser, support frigate, bomber, fighter, and flagship. Each offers strengths and weaknesses as well as unique capabilities. The Starfleet flagship is, of course, the U.S.S. Enterprise.
