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.

Starfleet Command III is the next release in the Starfleet Command series. But it is the first title in the SFC series to be set in the TNG (Star Trek: The Next Generation) Universe.

Taldren is developing it, they also developed SFCv2:EAW and OP, and they are the team behind SFC. Activision is publishing SFC3.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

You would be pricing your services similar to what those mental health professionals in your local area charge, typically in the $90-$200/hour range. Companies other than IMGCA who also train and certify mental training coaches or sports hypnotists claim that their graduates can charge fees up to $500/hour or $7500/day. This is irresponsible and misleading. Only the very, very top leaders in the field can command fees like that, and then only with their pro clients.

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.

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.

Yes. Currently a Part A and a Part B are planned. Each part will be divided into two sections, where each character have a section.

If you combined kayaking, water polo, soccer, and basketball, you might end up with something like kayak polo. There are two teams with 5 players each on a court ("pitch") at once. Games officially last for 20 minutes (with 10-minute halves), although we often play longer games during practice. The idea of the game is to outscore your opponent as in soccer or basketball by shooting at a goal suspended over the water. We play with a standard water polo ball.

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.

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

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

I have been looking at the George Washington Bridge and traveling on it all my life, so that its beauty is very familiar to me.

It is a restoration that is permanently joined onto the neighboring (abutment) teeth on either side of the toothless area and consists of three basic units: the false tooth or teeth (pontic) and abutment crowns. The most appropriate style depends on the strength and health of those neighboring teeth, as well as the location of the missing teeth in relation to the rest of your dentition.

Don't expect the Golden Gate. The design will be tricky because of the needs of shipping and aviation. So something practical if pleasant is more likely than an architectural marvel.

Two or four people hit a ball across a table over a net - sounds simple? It is! But from then on it carrys on and there are endless opppurtunities for improvements.
