Star Trek: Bridge Commander 2 - 3D free to play Star Trek MMORPG
I've been following Star Trek: Bridge Commander 2 for a while now I've always thought it was going to be a single player game like the original Bridge Commander but today I came across something on their site that says that it's going to have a single player campaign and it's going to be a full fledged MMORPG! Their site says it's going to be free to play but run entirely by donations. It's still in development but it looks awesome! So I thought you guys would like this one. Check it out! http://stbc2.net/
Based off the original "STAR TREK: Bridge Commander" Bridge Commander 2 seeks to redefine space simulation games with an immense amount of detail and worlds to explore, players will be able to seamlessly land on planets, venture through solar systems, scan nebulae, challenge other players, explore complete starship interiors and defend whichever race they choose to call home, which includes but is not limited to at launch:
The Federation (Starfleet)
The Klingon Empire
The Romulan Star Empire
Civilian in any 'parent' faction
The game is planned to primarily be an MMO (Massively-Multiplayer Online) but throughout you will find a single player campaign with engaging story arcs that will help shape the future of your faction. You will however also get the skirmish mode you know an love, all you have to do is head down to the holodeck.
The original Bridge Commander had lots of good ideas, however, they were incomplete, and the game lacked much, including but not limited to: Dynamic environments, realistic planets, planetary rings, Immense environments, such as large areas of space, and many more graphical and engine features that most people take advantage of in today's technological world. It is not a 1:1 remake, but it's an attempt to improve upon the idea of Bridge Commander while bringing up the quality to Next-Gen standards.
Explore Strange New Worlds
Procedurally generated worlds ensure that there will always be something unique for you as you go beyond your chosen factions borders if you choose.
