Unfortunately acting isn't the strong side of this episode. I've watched other fan Star Trek productions: New Voyages, Farragut and Osiris, and have to say the acting in this episode was the most hopeless I've seen so far.
However, for a fan production, two characters in the crew weren't too bad, the gorgeous science officer Lt. Patricia Allen and the tactical officer Lt. Cmdr. Polim n'Ahman with a funny horn. Polim, I would say, was actually rather good. The biggest problem was the captain who lacked dynamics, and unfortunately had great majority of the lines. Also, I was hoping all the time they would have given more lines to the crew members who most of the time just sat there, with nothing to do, nothing to say. Criminal under use of crew members.
The plot was very, very simple. If it had been great acting, then the bad writing would have shot this one down. No twists, no turns, nothing to guess, so suspense, no character building, not even typical Star Trek moral lessons. It seems to me their effort went to the computer graphics and the ship's bridge setup.
