Can't call it scifi if it doesn't agitate the hardcore feminists.

Cookie for you Villain

So yeah. I've played the trial and I'm thinking of getting the game now that I have a machine that's more competant to run it. The deluxe edition from steam looks a pretty good deal.

So apparently for season 3 they plan on having First officers, and the ability to turn said officer into a Player Character

We are discussing this particularly in relation to the Season 3 feature where we will allow players to convert their First Officers to Captains.

Very interesting, and they're saying its part of Season 3. So hopefully no C-Store cost.

Woo!

Quote from: dstahl

My schedule shows the "Search for Spock" Excelsior going live with the launch of Weekly series 1 on August 24 (Commander level ship - avialable for Energy Credits) and then the "Generations" Excelsior going up in the C-Store on August 26 (Rear-Admiral account wide unlock).

I believe the Rear-Admiral version also have customization options to look like the original design.

Some other dates -

August 12 - Tribble Weekend Reward (Undine Tribble) - Free to those who played during the Season 2 Tribble Weekend - and the "Formal Wear" off-duty costumes go into the C-Store.

August 24 at 7pm Pacific is the first weekly episode "Cold Call" .

August 31 at 7pm Pacific is the second weekly episode "Serve and Protect".

(then 3 more episodes every Tuesday after that for Series 1)

Sep 9 the Mercenary Off-Duty costume pack goes up in the C-Store

The nebula is sometime mid September.

Been playing the game for a few days now. I'm really enjoying myself, even if a lot of the missions are rather repetitive.

are the interiors as bad as they seem in screenshots? how is the rest of it overall?

I think I saw you go after an enemy contact the other day, your ship is the U.S.S. Century Right? I have the demo and am going to buy the game but I couldnt open chat with a demo account.

edit: my ship

@jimmy, the graphics arent really that bad, Ive got em turned down for gameplay but turned all the way up, looks real. Its really dependant on the graphics card for detail

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #1887 on:** August 03, 2010, 07:14:26 PM »

Heres a render of the interior of Earth Spacedock with Graphics all the way up.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #1888 on:** August 03, 2010, 08:04:49 PM »

you can hide your armour but right clicking it and hit "hide from character" if you want.

Also this sounds interesting

So a chance of the Tier 3 Transwarp malfunctioning?

majormagna · « **Reply #1889 on:** August 03, 2010, 09:43:36 PM »

Either that or another time-travel ep; possibly along the lines of:
"Scotty's *modifications* to the USS Excelsiors Transwarp Drive would lead to a core breach, as he was interrupted by a 25th century impostor (Akin to Darvin in 'Trials and Tribbleations'. You have to fix it and capture the impostor." Etcetera.

They look like they're from 2005-2006, which isn't all that bad. I know your beef is mostly that the size is so disproportionate , whic it is. Having played for about 12 hours now though, I've found 2 things.

1: I don't notice that the scale is out anymore.
2: Combat in the interiors would be too difficult to manage if everything was true size. You really need some space to manage and follow everything that's going on.

Lionus · « **Reply #1891 on:** August 04, 2010, 07:56:39 AM »

and i need to bring my crew up to admiral level DPS performance. The ship (advanced fleet escort, you know, the Prommie look-alike with some mix'n'match) is pretty nice already, just needs better shields and armor.. perhaps some nice weapons too. I might ditch front torp launcher for something else..

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #1892 on:** August 04, 2010, 08:21:45 AM »

mines got dual orion disruptor banks

and is a light cruiser

I've got three random shots, from my old (now retired) Rear Admiral and my current Lt. Cmdr. I'll have to level my Gorn untill the Excelsior is released for Commanders...

Pic 1: My take on the "Dauntless Repair" ending for Bridge Commander.
Pic 2: Just an in-warp beauty shot!
Pic 3: After disabling their escorts tractor beams, the crew of the USS Cheshire make a run for it.

Nice pics. just ordered my copy (ive exhausted the demo lol) with the bonus skill points card (it was free so , why not) and I LIKE MY ARMOUR

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #1895 on:** August 05, 2010, 04:58:34 AM »

Now a Lt. Cmdr. Gotta say I'm really enjoying the game. Totally hooked.

If any of you guys that are playing see me, feel free to add me as a friend. We can do some grinding together or something.

Here are some pics of my ship, the USS Renegade, and my avatar.

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #1896 on:** August 05, 2010, 07:55:42 AM »

cool ship - you should make it for bc lol

lemme ask you - before playing, how did you feel about it overall based and what you had seen and heard? why were you dubious? and since playing, what has swayed your opinion to a much more favorable view?
im starting to wonder if i should give it a shot now lol altho, im so damn broke to afford it currently at those rates...

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #1897 on:** August 05, 2010, 08:03:29 AM »

First, the demo gives you the three or four starting missions (and a free customization of the starting ship) Second, the game depends on the choices you make as captain so your gameplay could be drastically different than other players. Third, WalMart.com is offering a package that gives you 30-days of gameplay and 500-skill points for $19.96 USD. In my opinion, the game is well worth it. If we can get enough people from BCC signed-up, we can form a Bridge Commander Fleet

FarShot · « **Reply #1898 on:** August 05, 2010, 08:06:57 AM »

I got a friend to cover my 15 dollars. He was fine with it so long as I hung around with him and supplied him with plenty of snacks when he dropped by my place.

I canceled my subscription though. I loved the game, but I just didn't have time to waste playing it though. Either being a Commander is the dullest time in the game, or I just suck at leveling up.

But if I could, I would jump back on any day.

The Sovereign class has been updated! (At least on Tribble, warning, large images)
