So. Just in case anybody was wondering. This is a game. From 2004. That is not in any way related to Star Trek. Yet it has been modded to look better than ANY commercial Star Trek game on the market. It outperforms any contemporary game. This game is 7 years old, people! Interplay needs to hire this modder right now, and as for you, Mr. Video Maker--I honestly got chills down my spine when Epicon kicked in--that was like a new Star Trek trailer...I haven't seen battles that awesome in--ever.
The company that made this game should pull together the mod makers, license their work and re-release the game with the upgrades. Giving them new life. Maybe they would even update the compatibilities like give us access to Win 64 bit memory. Money could make this happen. Does Bill Gates like Star Trek?
You know what the saddest part is? And by sad I mean that it's sad the game companies can't make games that look this good...at least ST games...but this game runs on an engine that could run on a WINDOWS 98 OS!!! Legacy can't do that, and it looks like some kid went crazy with the blur tool in photoshop. And don't even get my started on the weapon effects...that's what makes/breaks a ST game for me, and legacy didn't even come CLOSE.
They do not have master servers anymore. I am trying to start a network using Hamachi for Nexus. Download free Hamachi client and join a network named "Nexus Reborn". Pass it along, maybe we can revive this great game.
@marco0798 but they arent battleships...starfleet doesnt believe in them, they are basically just exploration vehicles. they only ship designed for war is the defiant.
Actually, the Akira, Sovereign, Intrepid, Norway, Sabre and Steamrunner class ships, whilst capable of scientific exploration, were all designed in direct response to the first Borg incursion and with combat missions in mind, with the Intrepid's mission profile designating, "Long range tactical assignments". It would be more correct to say that Starfleet's only pure warships are the Defiant and Prometheus, but all the others I listed were "designed for war", just not pure warships
@TheMarokii and so you think they decked them out with powerful shields and weaponry purely for self defense? They are also the offensive arm and quite a few of the ships featurered here were designed as combat ships first and foremost (the bord gave starfleet a much needed dose of reality I reckon)
Sorry I know its an ancient comment but i couldnt resist :)
Ship balance has been re-adjusted. Make sure you have the 1.1 patch installed :). Try using the attack pattern delta command after a destroy hull command :)
@bigd524 I don't know, I played only Bridge Commander...but BC is great game, especially with downloaded Stargate, BSG and Star Wars ships...There's nothing better than duel between BC-304 Odyssey with Asgard weaponry against Imperial Star Destroyer, or Pegasus against USS Enterprise-E!
@RayPall Yeah but they are not worth the money without the mods.... bridge commander is the best Star trek game, and the development of Star Trek Excalibur looks good but thats indi...
not to worry, version 1.2 of the mod will have a completely different balance, all weapons will do less damage, all ships will have stronger hulls and shields and there will be a lot more cannon ships for all races. I'm also working on a way to bring a ship's shields up to 100% immediately afterentering combat zone. The shields when go up now display a red alert sound :) you can check the mod's progress on the moddb page :)
This my friends, is the TRUE POWER of the revolutionary Black Sun Engine when it comes to tactical space combat! If only Star Trek TV shows could be this intense every episode! If only Star Trek PC games could be this awesome!
How did you get the AI to work so well? I've tried several times to construct a battle like that using NEXUS Skirmisher and the ships usually end up doing nothing more than circling one another, only firing periodically.
In fact, I think this mod made a nice step forward in implementing fixed axis weaponry into the Nexus engine. I like how the Defiant's forward phaser cannons work now; in the original Age of War they barely fired at all, though I think its dorsal and ventral phaser strips should have fired more often in this vid.
Did you help with this mod or not? If not, then maybe you could borrow some of their code to make fixed-axis weaponry in your own mod work!
Best Star Trek Game ever they should make games like this instead of all those other pathetic poorly made
