There’s also a solo-only mode, Survival, where you face off against waves of computer-controlled enemies, which is so tedious that firing it up a second time should automatically Twitter out a cry for help on your behalf. It’s the closest DAC gets to being a decent game, but still never gets beyond a resounding ugh. It is possible that your PC just does not have enough performance and. In Conquest, you capture floating control points. If Star Trek: D-A-C often crashes to the desktop, try to reduce quality of the graphics.
