Alternative way to play
« on: November 30, 2008, 02:39:31 PM »
Greetings to all, been playing bridge commander for years but never got involved with the community but i'd like to suggest a new way that we can play this awesome game :D

(i'm unsure if this has been suggested b4 so please remove this thread if it has)

its best to have kobayashi Maru installed, but if u have the secondard targeting mod it should work as well.
select a ship such as the Defiant or Bird of prey (a ship that has primarily forward facing weapons), then choose a decent amount of ally and enemy ships.

when the battle starts, select all the enemy ships using the secondard targeting feature, then go into bridge view mode and set the view screen to the forward position (home button).

next press f2 to go into the tactical screen and select manuel targeting and fly the ship from that position, attacking the enemy ships when u can (forgot to mention its best to use the Defiant Bridge as u have a good forward facing view).

then just have fun! it turns bridge Commander into a fighter type game, just make sure to judge distances between ships carefully and u have to rely on the sensor panel to tell where enemy ships are, it rearlly changes the way the game plays!

if talented scripters like this idea, then i have a few suggestions that could make it even better, but i say try it out, hope this gives people a few more extra hours of fun :P

I didn't know you could choose more than one extra ship with secondary targetting. This sounds like fun.
All hail the messiah!
