Supreme Cmdr Posted February 15, 2002 Report Posted February 15, 2002 Frigging cool!! Get it!! Man, I'm so glad they didn't botch this. The graphics aren't anything special, but they get the job done. And once you've played it. Just think, in about 18 months, you'd have an entire ship - an entire ship - to command.

That's awesome ... an entire ship? with the toilets too? People will play Bridge Commander thinking all the time: "Damn, if i could only stand up and take the turbolift to go to my quarters!... hey... but... hey.. there's a game in development like that! uhmmm... from 3000ad... i don't wanna play ST BC anymore... let's go to www.3000ad.com to read the latest development news!!!"
Wolferz Posted February 15, 2002 Report Posted February 15, 2002 I just checked out that demo. Interactive TV show for sure! I would agree the graphics aren't that great, but hey, it's Activision we're talking about here. I'm sure they are targeting a specific market of pre-teens and young adolescents who probably won't have access to top of the line equipment, with this title. But it's still kewler than frog legs in a frying pan. LOL
Parias Posted February 15, 2002 Report Posted February 15, 2002 FYI guys, if you're impatient and can't wait untill final to check out the Sovereign bridge in action, do this: Go into your Bridge Commander DemoScriptsBridge directory and search for the two files "GalaxyBridge.pyc" and "SovereignBridge.pyc". Then essentially just do the ol' switcheroo on those files, using whatever means you desire. Voila, Sovereign bridge Haven't tried it myself, but I hear it works and looks damn nice at that..

That sounds great, but I also want some fighters, land on planets, and be able to be FP in space. Wonder if that will be in ST Bridge Commander.
Soback Posted February 15, 2002 Report Posted February 15, 2002 OH yea, almoust forgot. I want a game that I can play again and again. Not something I will beat and throw in the box. So does STBC have any replay value? Well? Does it?
Fendi Posted February 16, 2002 Report Posted February 16, 2002 2 years ago, I read a magazine (can't remember which one) and there were three games that caught my eye and that was BCM, Star Shatter and STBC. From playing the Full-Version of BCM and Star Shatter demo, I haven't been dissapointed at all. And now SC says that STBC is good, well, it just proves to show that Fendi has good tastes in games. The only downside of ordering STBC is the shipping costs to Europe which makes the grand total of the game to $90 odd dollars. edit ~ so do you guys think they've finnally broken the Star Trek games curse? edit2 ~ quote:And once you've played it. Just think, in about 18 months, you'd have an entire ship - an entire ship - to command.I've just clicked on. 18 months is just about perfect for me. I get my holidays then. I know, I'm a bit slow today. [ 02-16-2002, 07:51: Message edited by: Fendi ]

Except for Resnig, he gets the special toilet. Navy speak for it, its called the airlock. This is a very very very very cool demo. I don't care about the graphics, I just want more Star Trek.
Parias Posted February 16, 2002 Report Posted February 16, 2002 quote:Hey! 25th Anniversary wasn't bad.Heh, yeah, that and Judgement Rites were classics... I enjoyed A Final Unity as well, nothing like going out to single-handedly wage war on the Romulan Empire. Klingon Academy had it's problems, but it was pretty fun to play as well.

Hmmm... Maybe I should have loaded up a little more on sarcasm.
Kevin Trotter Posted February 19, 2002 Report Posted February 19, 2002 I swear , the next time I read a review slamming the SC as some type of Megalomaniac, so wrapped up in his own sh-t and being dismissive of his competitors work(Truly, does he really have any?) I going to Fatal a crapload of Vagrants right up thier collective asses. I am new to this gaming community and I have noticed the SC only flames those in need of flaming. I have read him raving about other games and development teams WHEN THE WORK WAS WORTHY!.I think a true sign of genius is when you can validate someone elses work with noe fear of diminihing your own and Derek you do that man. I guess when you know you are without peer it is easy to be magnanomous. In the best review I read on BC3000ad the reviwer stated more reviewers would think this game rocks if it was Sid Meier's BC300ad. For all it's worth we appreciate your contribution.
Supreme Cmdr Posted February 19, 2002 Author Report Posted February 19, 2002 Well, uhm, thanks! Don't forget, I was a gamer first. Then I decided to go an' ruin it all by becoming a game developer. Man, if I knew then what I know now, I'd have moved to Latrobe, PA and taken up cow tipping for kicks.
rjy01 Posted February 20, 2002 Report Posted February 20, 2002 Hey now, don't knock Latrobe PA. It's home of Rolling Rock beer! Besides, you know what we yankees call Florida don't you? God's waiting room! BTW, I agree -- STBC's demo rocks. I think it tipped me over the edge -- I'm going to pre-order the game tonight.
Urza Posted February 20, 2002 Report Posted February 20, 2002 Very nice. I'll probably be one of the first to get it. I really liked the ability to give general orders, or do-it-yourself.
Rosko Posted February 20, 2002 Report Posted February 20, 2002 wow, this is gonna be the best ST game ever!! I can't wait!! BTW, that new ST series first episode is on tonight(in Australia) 10:30, is this series any good, or is it another voyager??

Guest Grayfox Posted February 20, 2002 Report Posted February 20, 2002 Rolling Rock!!! do they still make that in the little bottles? i always thought those were cool. and i thought they called Vegas gods waiting room... or is it where the old people go after florida
Martin Pelletier Posted February 22, 2002 Report Posted February 22, 2002 I liked it too, but that game wont have what BCM has : "FREEDOM".
Fractux Posted February 22, 2002 Report Posted February 22, 2002 I agree Martin. While the combat is very intense, there is still that limiting factor that I feel in SO many games now after playing BCM. Cheers!

Voila, Sovereign bridge This works (I just tried it) and it looks good (not movie quality, but what are we to do?) So if you feel like commanding a Galaxy class Soverign try it out.
