The game grows on you over time i'd say. It is extremly moddable and with some of the mods done/in development it becomes more playable. To me at this point the biggest annoyance is the lack of customizing enemy ships in skirmish. I have no idea how this was overlooked.
There is an app now to remap the keys for legacy but i've played 3 missions (had to do #2 about 5 times) so i've grown too used to the default f, w, s, a, d, space bar, left mouse, right mouse, shift + t, r to benifit from changing it until someone figures out how to assign keys to the transport, hail, tractor, target weapons, target engines, target hull, etc buttons.
although to be fair the game is NOT the game that was promised or the game I was expecting. I expected something like Starfleet Command meets Armada 2 with seperate campaigns for all 3 eras instead of some weirdly connected one we got. I also expected a workable fully enjoyable game out of the box.

i'v just played legacy got past the enter eara.. 
mg: its terrible... it really is... try it out for your self.. it really is terrible, my mouse stops working so i'v had to plug a game pad in just to press the ok button so that i can continue playing... no tacticks can't do more then 1 thing at once.
eg.. fire phasers and torps (can't to it)
turn and fire (can't do it)
change speed and turn(no u guessed it can't do it!!!!)
not storyline...
i had to mod it stright away just to get it slightly playable.. WTF! n now there is absoultly no support from bethesda... we need major patches and fast! if they are going to save anything of their reputation and this game..
What a joke! feels like a very early alpha release.. i mean very early! :cry:
Bloody rubbish.. so people dnt wast ur money on it.. do as suggests in this thread some posts back...

After reading the forums I would be firing some mods. That is by far the worst example of BBS management I have seen in years. First off the customer who complains is the one who you go and kiss their ***. You do not tell them to stop posting flame bait, wait and then proceed to lock the thread. Just from looking through I guess 10 or so threads I was astounded by the absolute uselessness of the BBS administration on what is supposed to be "lol" a top of the line product. The fact is when your moderators are acting in such a manor it looks really bad to those buying the game. Also when people have a 14 page thread and all the mods seem to notice is flaming towards them they might want to catch the drift and re think they way that they administer the forums.
From having read the complaints there is now no way I am going to get the game, many a star trek gamer can tell you we don't like console games, and if port us a piece of **** we will respond by giving it back to you. Also what the hell were they thinking using the BS armada II engine, beyond what Optic and Doca and all the folks here at fleetops have done, I have heard nothing but complaints about the massive and gaping flaws in the engine, and they want to port it to a completely different play style? Why, when SFC: all of them are using the engine they should be looking at, and I do mean it is the same play style except you know apparently stable.
Whoever the dev company was should have a.) started a new engine from scratch, or b.) use an existing and proven engine that was in the correct field and not try to port an RTS engine. I mean Star Fleet Command Volumes 1 through 3 are sitting right there with a successful engine in the filed of gameplay they are looking, except unlike legacy the developers of Starfleet Command actually knew what the hell they were doing (- the sometimes random explosion of capital ships
). So Legacy will not be getting bought by me. The first thing they need to learn is we don't want a console game, because most Star Trek gamers don't want Star Trek on a console. Why? because unlike blow em up fest they call star wars, Star Trek is all about the micromanagement.
