You start with one spaceship for mining and a base station. Your ship has an AI assistant. You follow the AI's instructions at the beginning until you understand the user interface better. You build up the station, your ships, and the crew. You go on missions and have to open a lot of goody boxes for rewards.

Also, you can create or join an alliance with other members. You can then help your members with their tasks, do tournaments, or attack other players' ships and bases to steal their cargo inventory. There are more than enough non-player hostiles to destroy, so no real need to attack other players.

I should mention that it is a huge real-time simulation. You can put your base station and ships to work and leave the game while they continue to work in the game world. "Set it and forget it". You could get attacked and robbed, but it pays to mine while you're away.

Here's a link.

Star Trek Fleet Command

I thought it was a lot like the very first star trek computer game from the late 70s. We used the school's computer with an acoustic coupler modem and no screen, just a printer, to play that simple game. STFC is a word game basically, like Zork, but with cool graphics, plus online and multi-player. The graphics seemed simple, until I started to zoom in. 

I'm just really getting going now. It seems like I have always played this game. I felt like that from the first day I tried it, spooky really. I'm Admiral Buck Marsh of the Buccaneers Alliance, which is an independent organization that includes myself and five cadets who don't seem to know how to use the chat feature. Just think, if I hadn't gained the rank of Admiral, I'd still be a space cadet.
