Does the game have crafting ? If so how good is it ?

Is there faction vs faction conflict ? If so how good is it ?

Thanks in advance for taking your time to provide answers/opinions

crafting is pretty weak. But I have an issue with just about every games crafting.

PvP is fun, but understand one thing. The game was designed to play federation. To be a Klingon, you really can only level up with PvP since there isnt much of a PvE for them. Once you make admiral on fed side, you can start a Klingon at level 20. So PvP has a lot of Klingons with experience in PvP.
