Description

Star Trek Bridge Commander is the first space simulation set in the Next Generation universe that truly puts you in command of your own Starfleet starship and crew. While on duty in a remote area of space, a nearby sun suddenly erupts releasing a deadly blast that damages your ship, kills your Captain and threatens nearby colonists. Now you must take control of your ship and lead your crew to solve the mystery. Your mission is clear -- discover the cause of the devastating explosion and prevent it from happening again. During the race you will battle the Cardassians, ally with the Klingons, investigate the unpredictable Romulans and reveal a secret plot that threatens the Federation itself. The excitement and the challenges grow as you and your crew race to find the cause through over 30 different missions. These will include many of Star Trek's most fundamental elements - defense, combat, diplomacy, exploration, rescue, and scientific discovery. For the first time you will be able to command both Galaxy and Sovereign class ships much like the U.S.S. Enterprise-D and U.S.S. Enterprise-E. The question is -- can you keep your cool while bulkheads fail? Will you save your crew, save the colonists and defend the Federation from a new threat? Interact With Your Crew: Issue orders receive reports from and even have the option to take direct control of individual bridge stations. Your crewmembers all have colorful individual personalities and shape your game experience. Command from the Captain?s Chair: As you incur damage the bridge shakes, consoles explode and crewmembers are thrown from their seats, capturing the true essence of Star Trek combat. Work With Picard and Data: Interact with Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Commander Data (Brent Spiner) throughout the game -- furthering your training and providing you assistance. Strategic Action: Engage in dramatic combat action with large capital ships possessing significant firepower but limited maneuverability that will require smart weapon management and skillful maneuvering to defeat your enemy. Stunning 3D Ships: Enjoy the most accurate ship models ever in a Star Trek space sim -- painstakingly recreated with materials taken directly from Paramount Archives. Amazing Special Effects: Plan your strategy on a gorgeous 3D battlefield and marvel at the effects that your success in battle provides you.
