Bridge Commander

[Galactic Hitchhiker]

I know, it's old game (2002), but how many of you guys play it? I recently got it myself, and I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered the mods and add-ons that instantly improve the game beyond recognition. Every single Enterprise is available, as well as Voyager, DS9, Dominion, even The Borg and Breen. if only I would have powerful enough computer, I could recreate Wolf 359.. Of course, I have downloaded other mods too, like Battlestar Galactica ( whole colonial fleet and cylons too), Stargate and Babylon 5 ships..

I really like it. I install it every now and then and throw all of the mods and ships on it.

This is perhaps one of the Best Trek Games I've ever played.
I really wish they'd do another Trek game like Mass Effect.

Ah yes. I love Bridge Commander. I haven't played it in ages because i over played it and got really bored. but the mods extend its life immensely. There are some really gifted modders for it as well. And of course they even have BSG and stargate ship mods (both of which were done by a personal mate of mine)

Have it, like, it, but I have a problem with it suddenly crashing to desktop when trying large fleet battles, with no slowdowns or other apparent problems beforehand.

I still wouldn't mind an official sequel, maybe one where you can go through the events of Enterprise, Next Generation, or Voyager and try different approaches than used in the shows.

apparently the modders out there are trying to make a de-facto sequel for it.

Yes, I've heard of that too. My computer has similar problems, but it's most likely due the fact that my computer hasn't got enough RAM to deal with the ships and special effects oh well, BC304 Odyssey is more than match to Borg Cube.. and Imperial Star Destroyer is.. well, kicking intergalactic butts. although, that's no match to Odyssey either, despite the fact that is has ridiculous amount of weaponry.

I've actually got MilkShape in my own paws and have been looking some blueprints of ships from star trek, star wars and stargate. harder than it sounds. but when I get it and learn to use milkshape more efficiently.. zhe galaxies shall be mine!

lol. yeah those ships aren't really measured against the star trek ships. no frame of reference so he just did his best to balance them against the previous stargate ships he made.

Really?

oh aye. went to the pub with him last saturday. he's pretty damn insane but he knows his stuff.

*me wonders if some degree of insanity is required from modellers*

Yes, I actually helped with collecting screencaps with sharp close-in angles, and I was able to record a sound effect for the railguns off a video clip. It wasn't perfect, but it sure was far closer than previous ones. If I could take a multi-channel lossless source of audio, I could try and pull a cleaner version off, one that would be perfect. Too bad there's no Blu-ray of Atlantis yet.

And I mean full season sets, not the "Fans Choice" teasing MGM's doing with us.

For future versions of the mod, I now have an 256MB ATI Radeon X1650 Pro, in place of my old 32MB GeForce2 MX 400.

[Galactic Hitchhiker]

god damn.. yet another black screen of death.. oh well, reinstalling and replacing the installed files with the backup is more like second nature to me now.

[Galactic Hitchhiker]

well, seeing that filefront is shutting down indefinitely, does anyone know any other place that has nice collection of bridge commander mods?

BC Central is working on that currently.

[Galactic Hitchhiker]

indeed they are. now, I need to get a tactical cube in my hands and see how it will surviveagainst victory class stardestroyer or ZPM Odyssey.. the BoBW-cube didn't last too long against either even when I didn't exploit the weak spot..

[Defiant]

I actually thought Birth of the Federation is the best Star Trek game -

turn based

I like BOTF too. It's always a nice thing to send a fleet or six to your enemy's homeworld and blast it to smithereens.

[Dr. Daedalus]

I loved Bridge Commander. It is a cool game.
