Star Trek: Bridge Commander

[Wolfe Tone]

From what I hear the Campaign in the full version will be more branching that the mission in the demo

I have heard really bad news. The release date here has been put back a week. It is so unfair. Why do we always have to wait for these cool games. To pass the time I will probably master the demo. I am also downloasing the manual so I won't have to waste time when I get the game.

I have one small problem. On the Soverign Bridge I believe that the Science and Engineering Stations are in the wrong place. I hve read the article on the official sites and thats not my problem. The science station should be that console just behind the First Officers chair. It replaces the tatical in position. Correct me if I am wrong

My first MP action.

I was disconnected after 5 minutes though...but I had 1 kill and was in 3rd place. I was flying the Cardassian Hybrid.

An AWESOME ship.....I destroyed an Akira and I had a Sovergin down to 20% before I was disconnected....

Ahhh...the memories...

But I'm stuck in the second episode of the single player though.

CornMaster as the game hasn't been released in some parts of the world I would like to ask that you do not give too much away regarding the plot. Is that OK?

What is the other Klingon ship like (Vor'cha) and What is the D'Kora like. Are the Cardassian ships any good

 

[CornMaster]

The Cardassian ships are pretty weak....but they can fire at ANY angle....which is a HUGH advantage!!

In the mission I was in....I had to fight 4....and after I destroyed two...the rest left...but came back with re-enforcements....needless to say....I lost. Plus Picard got killed....so Starfleet was pissed.

Another "in mission" screen shot.

 

[CornMaster]

Just played some more MP....I didn't realize I was soooooo good.

Went 2 and 0 before I was disconnected.

Lead our team....and all the players!!

It was UFP vs Non-UFP...As I flew the Hybrid....I was Non-UFP. I destroyed a Galaxy and a Shuttle....

The next SS is going to be in-game....You guys HAVE to see this ship.

MP screenie 1.

MP Screenie 2

So does this mean that the game is out already?
Plus, the UFP ships can fire in all directions also...right? Just have different phaser banks that drain....during the demo they were constantly turning the ship around to get the max out of the different phaser banks.

No...Federation ships have multiple phaser arcs....top and bottom. That cover about 3/4 of the possible range. But aft is a blind spot.

The Cardassian ships (and Kessok ships) tend to have upper, lower, and forward firing arcs. Meaning they can hit just about anything....anywhere....but they still also have minor blind spots here and there.

And yes, the game is out. Been out since Monday.

I'm play more...but I have to go to school.

Laterz

CornMaster, you're psyching me about possibly spending my $50 for this quarter on Bridge Commander, but since you have the game, you have to answer the question: Are the missions desgined dynamically or is it a follow the plotline setup?

 

[CornMaster]

So far it seems pretty pre-determinded.

A.k.a. Save the station.....you fail game over. No other track. Save the colony....yes=continue no = game over. But I'm only on the 2nd episode of 9...so it could change.

I just got the game yesterday and I think it is pretty good. The story mode is a little to linear for my liking but all in all it is not that bad.

I do have a problem with that damn 1st officer. What is her problem. If you do one little thing wrong of she goes to Admiral Liu. She seems to openly defy orders on the bridge.

I can't wait for the SDK to be released so we can finally get some new ships, bridges, etc. I can't wait to add the Defiant and other ships to the game

 

[Wolfe Tone]

I have finally completed the game. It is a pretty good storyline. I won't give to much away here but I would be happy to help anybody who is stuck on a particular mission

 

[CornMaster]

I'm on E7M2

Would have finished it but I rammed a Keldon. Took it out..and almost another....but there is only so much you can take with no shields.

 

[damunzy]

So, is it completely linear or are there choices later in the game?

 

[Wolfe Tone]

I think I counted 3 or 4 choices that you have to make througout the game. Only the last one affects the ending of the game

 

[CornMaster]

A recent MP game between Fishheads and I.

It was fun.

IF any CFCers are interested....there may be a MP type Campagin starting soon...I'll give more info as it comes in.
