comment |
Developed By Totally Games, who years prior gave us X-Wing and TIE Fighter from that other franchise, Star Trek: Bridge Commander is a space sim set in the Star Trek universe. The plot revolves around an inexperienced captain (read: YOU), trying to prevent an interstellar war, shortly after the end of another.Bridge Commander was an ambitious attempt to replicate the feel of the various series, with generally positive results. It's the first game in the franchise to nail the feeling of flying around in one of the huge capital ships, and still has a very active fan community. Not bad at all for a barely advertised game from 2002.The game is presently available through GOG.com. |

Spiritual Successor: The game is this to Star Trek: Starfleet Academy and Star Trek: Klingon Academy, which were both space combat-heavy games which also had an emphasis on controlling the functions of your ship, albeit to a lesser extent than in this game. Star Trek: Excalibur, a fan-made game in the works that utilizes the Nano Fx Graphics Engine, is intended as thus. It is also intended to be more easily moddable. |

Game Mod: Dozens. A notable example is Kobayashi Maru, which combines many of them, dramatically altering the game and refining the gameplay such as being able to deploy and pilot shuttles, separate the Galaxy class and Prometheus class vessels and loads of ships added to the game, most of them containing their respective bridge to use as well and adding additional ships from factions not seen in Bridge Commander such as Borg, Dominion, Species 8472/Undine and even non-canon ships such as the Aegian Class Frigate. There's even custom scenarios to play and a limited scenario editor, one of the examples being the Unwinnable Training Simulation that the mod gets it's title from. |

comment |
Fantastic Racism: Kiska has an intense prejudice against the Cardassians. It gets to the point Commander Larsen has to tell her to knock it off. Everyone is prejudiced against the Romulans, except, potentially, you. This is reflected with all the other ships as well. Every single ship captain talks trash about humans, the other races, the Federation, or all three. |

We Come in Peace — Shoot to Kill |
| Star Trek: Bridge Commander (Video Game) / int_5e544ae6 |
comment |
We Come in Peace — Shoot to Kill: You... maybe. After several hostile run ins with the mysterious Kessok, you find one, with its shields down, in front of an object you're after, with no life signs aboard. Adrenaline pumping, your first instinct is to take advantage and blow the farker up (ok, YMMV)... However, you can also try hailing the vessel, which results in a peaceful dialog Gene Rodenberry would be proud of. Also, hailing the Kessok ship will cause it to join with you on the final mission, which in turn will cause the Kessok fleet around their homeworld to leave you alone. |

Too Awesome to Use: Unless you know where all the hidden reloads are, quantum torpedoes may be this. They pack much more wallop than regular photon torpedoes, but you have a much smaller magazine of them, and there are no infinite restocks at Starbase until late in the game (when you definitely need to be liberal with them because of difficulty spike.) |

Subsystem Damage: And how! Calling for a damage report when your ship's been reduced to the point where it's being held together with little more than good intentions will pound it home to you as Brex starts rattling off what's not working. May or may not cause an Oh, Crap! moment for the player. It can get worse, since you can only have three subsystems at a time on the repair queue and it's SO slow. |

Cool Ship |

comment |
Cool Ship: The Dauntless, and later the Sovereign, class progenitor and sister ship to the Enterprise-E.. Those provided by the game's still very active modding community are too legion to list. In other words, pick any Cool Ship from the television series or movies (or other series, they're in there.) |

Little Hero, Big War: Played with. The Sovereign is a big part of the Federation's efforts during the war in the sector but there's a lot of battles going on off-camera. Likewise, the conflict never gets out of the Maelstrom. |

| Star Trek: Bridge Commander (Video Game) / int_cbdd9a55 |
comment |
We ARE Struggling Together: A large portion of the game deals with how all of the other powers are willing to shoot each other over the most trivial of reasons. The game would be about twenty-minutes long if everyone shared information and was willing to hold off on shooting one another. In proper Star Trek fashion, the best result comes from NOT being trigger happy yourself. |

comment |
Crew of One: Subverted, while you can take control of systems manually, the ship is normally run by your AI crewmates, who will actually do a pretty good job keeping it in one piece. This mainly extends to maneuvering the starship and targeting/firing its weapons though, although you can also personally set power allocations and repair priorities. |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Admiral Liu gets so sick of the Cardassians after the destruction of the Dauntless that she orders the ship to find their home base and blow it all to hell. She feels this is un-Federation-like behavior. |

comment |
You Are in Command Now: The Dauntless has its captain killed within the opening minutes of the game, making you the receiver of this trope. Justified as you're its first officer. Made somewhat questionable when, despite being young for captain of the Dauntless, you're made commanding officer of the prototype super-ship the Sovereign soon after. |

The Remnant: The Cardassians faced in this game are the remnants of the A Nazi by Any Other Name military government which fought with the Dominion and oppressed their population. Played with as its implied House Arterius is solely involved because of Legate Matan and are following him more out of personal loyalty than ideology. |

Hopeless Boss Fight: To a degree: You can NOT destroy Matan's ship. You can cripple it, but the hull won't break. Even your chief engineer is impressed. Incidentally, it is still possible to lose the game once you've done this. There are also a few situations in the game where you're encouraged to run, not fight (You know how The Kobayashi Maru was 1 on 3? Try 1 on 12!). |
