      @@LTGamingUA-cam Hi there LT. I am an older gamer, played this to death back in the day and recently bought the GOG version. Have not modded it, crashes like hell still so i hope the mod will sort a lot of that. I just wanted to ask you if you could mention to the developer if it is possible to implement 3 things.
      1. at least 8gb of ram usage
      2. ability to rotate ship axis so you can fly her upside down. AKA nemesis, full rotation axis, would look cool as hell and help with shield management.
      3. This one is probably entirely impossible but removal of the ball physics that ships seem to pivot on.
      Best wishes and thanks for your vid.
      p.s. Do you think anyone will ever make a sequel to this?? it is deserving of one and long overdue to my mind.

    Seeing the weapon effects, I wish Star Trek Online improved it to be closer to canon. We don't have Photon Torpedoes with the TMP / TWOK era effects. The devs implemented the TWOK-era phasers but sound effects are absolutely wrong.

      @DrewLSsix Рік тому

      Nah, numbers really matter along with having an actual person involved vs a basic AI.
      If you are in the stronger ship but outnumbered you would want to maneuver to avoid as much fire as possible and pick off each enemy ship one at a time.
      Allowing them to share the damage while combining their firepower is a losing strategy.
      Tactically the lesser ships have an advantage if they are willing to sacrifice one or more of their number.

    • @kohlrak
      @kohlrak Рік тому

      @@DrewLSsix Depends on the impulse speed. Realistically, a non-AI would run from this encounter. Even with superior impulse speed (remember, a smaller ship could have a weaker engine and move faster due to lower mass), they'd be setting themselves up for punishing their shield generators, and that would also limit their firing, but turning to use "all arcs" to prevent being outgunned, would more or less have you do what the AI is doing here.
      This manifests alot in the shows: unless they have enough shields to take down all ships before their shields are depleted, they will try to find a way out of the fight, unless they're with a fleet, cannot escape, or are 1-on-1. This is something people don't appreciate, especially when designing these games. Capital ships have a bunch of crew on them, and every hit without shields is likely to result in at least one crew member dying and some really hard to repair damage (outside of spacedock, you'll be patching at best). Instead, you're going to prefer standoff tactics or not fighting at all.

    The highly positive reaction to ST: BRIDGE COMMANDER is interesting because in 2003 and the time after it had been torn down by professional critics WOrLDWIDE !! To the German GAMESTAR magazin " ONE OF THE MOST BORING GAMES OF ALL TIME ! " and even a lot of gameers chimed in with that opinion.
    Guess what turned the game into a stinker here in the Germanic Countries had been the missing dubbed sequences. After all the game was done mostly for teenagers and those fellows usually don ´t have that solid English skills. Subtitles don t bring it here around were almost everything gets dubbed
    People like me loving it had been a slim minority back in those times.

      BC is still the only 'ST simulator' which gives you a full 3d environment for your ships and that's why people come back to it. The restraints off the engine is a sad thing, and like with Birth Of The Federation ( which I still play often, modded ofc ), there isn't a new version on the horizon. BoTF 2 had been in volunteer development for a long time before I even stopped following the progress.
      It's also one of my biggest letdowns of STO. It's NOT 'Star Trek' is I'm supposed to be in space but I'm forcefully restrained in my maneuvering. That and the fact that it's designed with the intent to bleed your wallet dry and not for people who love the franchise.
      A multiplayer stand alone galaxy chats with dynamic campaign would bleed STO's playerbase in days... most people like to fly ships, and flying ships is more immersive in a real 3d environment.

    • @thedingo6577
      @thedingo6577 Рік тому +1

      @@MarvinWestmaas Ideal BC2 for me would have the core tactical gameplay of the original with the ability to walk around your ship Elite Force-style, which is used as a secondary system with first-person/planet-related scenarios. These scenarios would be a mix of handmade and procedurally generated "episodes" and eventually you would replace most of the procedural episodes with player-created ones, as the game would ship with a built-in and robust mission creator like in STO. My favorite part of STO was actually the user-created missions because the writing and story potential (especially with multi-part ones) ironically had some of the most 'Star Trek' writing I've ever seen, moreso than the new shows for sure. So basically it would be a combination of the space and ship gameplay from BC, the first-person aspects of Elite Force, and the user-generated content of STO. You could develop the game as a series of "Quadrants" with Alpha and Federation-centric gameplay being the base and three expansions adding content for the Borg, Dominion, and Klingon/Romulans after the initial release. Make it easy to mod and not multiplayer-only and you've got a game that will satisfy every Star Trek fan on the planet.

Although the Ambassador would have larger hit points (Hardpoint Radius) to where they take a lot of damage from any side of the drive section, slow moving with minimal phaser coverage .. The hotel in space during peace time. Where later we find out about the Cardassian Border Wars, the Tzenkethi and the Xindi. But, during the Ambassador, Excelsior, Miranda, Centaur, Springfield, New Orleans and Nebula were involved in the Cardassian, Tzenkethi and Talerian conflicts. And the USS Enterprise 1701-C (Ambassador Class) was destroyed by Romulan forces while defending a Klingon colony at Narendra III in 2344.

      I love reading cannon in random youtube comments, makes me feel at home.
      Thing about Intrepid is that it isn't the same class of ship as an Excelsior or an Ambassador. You shouldn't, and can't, really compare capabilities of the classes directly, Intrepid has a complement of ~140, Excelsior already at 750 and Ambassador at 900 ( somehow this always catches me off, as the Excelsior appears to have the longer frame and visually looks like it should be able to carry more people.
      But while the hull of an Excelsior looks 'fat', it's got a skinny saucer and the Ambassador is the opposite, short hull but much more girth at the saucer section.
      Both the Ambassador and Excelsior are fitted with much higher grade shield emitters, simply because they have the size to accommodate them. A normal Intrepid ( there are plenty of 'Janeway versions' available for this game... giving you alll the transphasic torpedoes and ablative armor you want so you can singlehandedly remove a fleet of tactical cubes... hoping the engine won't crash ) is simply not designed for combat it was designed for exploration ( quick and 'smart' ).
      Still, the game's AI makes it impossible to really rank ships battle performance as it often won't match your expectations based on cannon. ( fight a Breen with an energy weapon and see if you can match the show .. not that this would be 'fun' perhaps but still ).

      There's no way a starfleet ship 100 years older than intrepid could beat it in a fair battle... Unless you're talking about this game, where they clearly balance the ships to make them playable (ie the intrepid losing to a 120+ year old enterprise as shown)

    Either the damage/power of the weapons between the TMP and TNG Era ships is vastly inaccurate -OR- the AI absolutely sucks at flying and piloting a starship in a dogfight. Maybe BOTH. The TMP pulse phasers are considerably weaker than TNG era Shields. Can Bridge Commander say ATTENUATION? There's NO WAY a TMP era Constitution could take pot shots like that at either the intrepid, Galaxy, or the Sovereign from so far away and do meaningful damage. A TMP era Constitution class would have to get uncomfortably close to a Galaxy class to do enough damage fast enough with TMP pulse phasers to bring one of the Galaxy's shields down. That means getting extremely close and repeatedly hitting the same shield. Unfortunately for the Constitution being that close would make it the primary target of much more concentrated and powerful phaser fire that would roast it through its weak/thin TMP era shields until the Galaxy lined it up for a TNG era torpedo which would be overkill. If that weren't embarrassing enough for the aging Constitution class, if some sick bastard really were to put it up against the Sovereign or Intrepid class which are more maneuverable, with weapons attuned and high-powered enough to fight the Borg. Same thing, but now the little TMP era Constitution can't even use its size to its advantage as the Sovereign or Intrepid would be capable of swooping in like a predator upon the Constitution and drilling it into oblivion without the Constitution being able to as much as scratch the Sovereigns/Intrepids armored hull through its multi-layered shielding. It looks cool, this mod and bridge commander, but its always assumed the TMP ships in it have been refit somewhat, even if not visible, to compete. Otherwise, it better be Riker on that Constitution doing his maneuver to get inside their shields, beam a bomb on board using trickery, or somehow trick them or the ship's computer into dropping their shields. Sheer numbers are not even enough to even the playing field in any of these contests. A good example of this is when during the TNG the Enterprise D was more than able to hold off multiple aging Klingon Birds of Prey without much effort. Those Birds of Prey would have been held equal or as serious threats against the TMP Constitution.

      I mean interesting analysis but I'm not sure the gap would be so big as stated. There is a trend to keep coming up with more and more OP ships. In space I think anything would be vulnerable and in most cases we see how quickly these starships can fall apart under even minor assault. But hey its all subjective just glad we can play with this quality in 2023! I think this is the weakness of Bridge Commander though its just straight up power vs power. If Kirk taught us anything it's that with the right ingenuity anyone can win in space 🚀
