Bridge mode is where you control the ships functions from the captains chair using drop down menus and mouse clicks. The Tactical mode gives you full control over weapons, shields etc. All other stations are controlled as in bridge mode. Full Tactical mode gives the player complete control of all systems using a similar system to the Verbal Orders System (VOS) and Heads up Display (HUD) as found in Klingon Academy.

Yes, while this feature is not built into the software but the game will ship with configuration files for most major voice control software. Examples of dedicated voice software are Game Commander & Gamevoice although many more products exist.

Yes, some Bridge Commander models have been reused, subject to extensive modification. Specifically models for the Sovereign, Galaxy, Nebula, Bird of Prey, Warbird, the two Cardassian ships, the Federation Freighter, the Marauder, and the Neghvar were imported.

Please, please, please tell me the AI in Bridge Commander at least has the intelligence not to fly into a planet, star or asteroid etc? The AI in Klingon Academy was a joke and us trek gaming fans would dearly like to see AI that could see a planet or other celestial body and avoid it now and again

The races included are the Federation, Klingons, Cardassians, Ferangi and the the Romulans. Also there is a new race being introduced into the Trek gaming universe that is unknown at this time. Dammit no Borg to shoot at :(

Well due to a recent mistake this site received a screenshot which listed a Borg cube in the enemy target list, This caused a bit of a debate which only David Litwin could explain... That screen shot was apparently overlooked by those in charge of screening them and I'm quite sorry for any confusion.

Windows? 95/98/ME/2000/XP compatible computer system (including compatible 32-bit drivers for CD-ROM drive, video card, sound card and input devices.) Minimum spec the team has always been working towards was a P2-266/300, 64MB RAM, 8MB Video Card (Voodoo2/TNT or better) w/DX8a drivers. It has still not been officially set and we definitely do have some performance improvements to make yet to keep steady frame rates on whatever our low end machine is.

A demo is slated for release around the time of the full version release. David Litwin explains in more detail... Although logic would dictate that the same work needed for the demo is needed for the final product, a demo rarely needs less work than the final product. Sure, you may only have to have one or two missions, but pretty much the entire executable has to be functional and bug free, which is really hard to do months before you are ready to ship the game (or you'd ship earlier..

Please note the following is unconfirmed. It's looking like it will be translated into German, but nothing is known about other languages. Problem is cost in box and compatibility/explanation. If we were to make a DVD version -- it would cost more to duplicate and we'd likely have to include the CD in box as well to reduce the number of people who bought the wrong version. Either way increasing costs.

Well the signs are that yes we will be able to create mods for Bridge Commander. Here's a bit more assurance from David Litwin... Yes, our game will be nicely moddable. I don't know that we can release our max->.nif format converter, but the X-Wing model format was much more complicated and people were able to figure that out and make mods for it.

Starfleet Command III is a tactical starship combat, which is on a 2D plane, as in previous SFC games. Single Player and Multiplayer campaigns support game play within a larger universe (DynaverseIII) involving some strategic and role-playing aspects. Though, yes, some Bridge Commander models have been reused! the SFC series has always meant to provide the most compelling experience as a real-time tactical naval simulation set in the Star Trek universe. That is it's [sic] mission.

Single Player Campaign - For information on what storyline Bridge Commander follows see this page here. The campaign is split into 8 episodes with each episode split into a maximum of 4 sub missions. The ships you will use in the single player campaign are the Galaxy and Sovereign class vessels. In your travels during the single player campaign you will encounter, The Akira, Ambassador, Nebula, Galaxy, Sovereign, B'rel, Vorcha, D'deridex and D'Kora class ships.

Enemy ships can have varying levels of "smarts", which will affect how they behave in combat.

Bridge Commander is currently at the Alpha stage of development, Dan Hagerty posted the best explanation of Alpha so here it is... Alpha - all features and functions are in the game and working as originally designed. Final quality sound effects, voiceovers and movies are in the game, though some may be still placeholders. The code has yet to be optimized and game play is still rough with a lot of bugs. However, the central core of the game is there.

The minimum requirement will be DirectX 7 but it will obviously function with later versions of DirectX.

Crossfire doesn't actually say, but the implication of CF2.3 is No, they can't. A PC or CC must be unsuppressed to assist subordinate stands, and although Crossfire is not explicit about this, people naturally extend this limitation to crossfires. In contrast, a pinned commander can control a crossfire.

The ship commander is the one who is overall responsible for the conduct and handling of the ship and crew under his/her command. The ship commander usually holds the rank of Commodore and above. Every Ship Commander is either part of the Emperors Advisor Council, member of the High Command or an Head Assistant to a High Command Office. The duties of that officer are such that the help the ship captain maintain the ship's webpage, and maintain their office's webpage.

Yes. You can call up Commander’s presets remotely with another controller or sequencer using MIDI patch changes.

It will only send out program changes 1 through 10 on MIDI channel 1. So, if that's all you need to do, then YES.

D. C. Fontana (Trek novel author) and Derek Chester (Totally Games) are writing the story, for more information on the story check out this page.

Patrick Stewart AKA Captain Picard and Brent Spiner AKA Commander Data will be providing there voice talents.

Bridge Commander will use a minimum resolution of 800*600 to a maximum of 1600*1200 depending on system specifications.

Bridge Commander unlike most of the Star Trek series is played in a full 3d 6 degrees of freedom space terrain.

The first role of the unit commander is to plan substance abuse prevention training and testing Unit commanders must observe their soldiers' behavior and intervene early to identify possible alcohol and/or other drug abusers, refer these soldiers for evaluation by trained medical personnel, recommend enrollment in treatment programs, and when appropriate, process soldiers for separation.

There are basically three major actions a unit commander must accomplish: First, an organizational team must be appointed to conduct the unit's ASAP activities; second, a unit biochemical testing program must be established; and third, prevention and education initiatives must be implemented. a.

The marines need one player on their team to play the Commander role. A player chooses to command by walking up to the command station (it's already built at start of the match) and pressing his use key. There can be only one Commander at a time, and he plays the game from a top-down RTS view, while everyone else on the server plays from a first-person view. The Commander can only see what his teammates can see.

Bridge to transplant is when a TAH or a VAD is used as temporary cardiac support until a donor heart becomes available for the patient.
