Bridge Commander would be my absolute favourite game if it had SLIGHTLY more depth to the systems like for instance in Klingon Academy where you could literally do ANYTHING you wanted. There is a mod underway called Star Trek: Excalibur where they are essentially building the game from the engine up and it looks spectacular. Definitely one to watch!
Download Kobayashimaru mod, they get better, plus the Stargate mods, ad Battlestar galactica, saucer separation and etc... You won't be disappointed....
ah the memories, this was a brilliant game, it produced hours of fun and laughter not to mention friendships with people i still game with online, defo better with the KM mod, played online it was so much fun, agreed it should have been remade, but sadly it wasn't, was never designed for internet play only lan which gives it's age away really, for those that never played online, you have no idea what you missed, no other star trek game online came close to being star trek as this did, RIP gene
i fired transphasics at matan his shipt all wepons and engines but im suprised it wasnt destroyed like other ships i fired transphasics at im words of kiska "let him burn"
Part of star trek is already coming true. Notice ships in the films/series tend to be coloured by the colours of the species planet as seen from space? With our ships they are white and blue with bits of red. Our ISS is white mainly, bits of blue and some red bits here and there. I guess the red can be volcanoes or volcanic activity. We like to send "little bits of our planet" into space I suppose. Just an observation.
I've got it great game it's pretty straightforward on easy the only tricky parts are fighting the Kessock ships and the Hybridsat the end but using the plasma torpedoes usually takes care of them
Wow... I never did reach the end of the game... Played it halfway many years ago, and then my PC crashed..lol.. Haven't gone back to the game since.. No doubt, it was one of the better Star Trek games I've played in a long time..
Use those shield-penetrating torpedoes if you didn't waste them on easier opponents. Let your allies distract some of the hybrids. Don't worry about your allies dying. Attack from below one ship at a time. Don't be afraid to use ALL your plasma torpedoes. They were basically made for that specific battle.
Actually, you should worry about your allies dying. On harder difficulties, the loss of allies mean you begin to draw the fire and flak from the hybrids, and also means the loss of firepower.
Assuming you didn't fire on the 'helpless' Kessok ship previously, it will assist you, be sure to take the Akira (MacGregory), and the Galaxy class ship - the disruptors on the Klingon and Romulan ships are too easily disabled, and they lack the shielding and firepower needed to survive.
Also, the loss of the Enterprise means defeat. Plow at the hybrids (forcing them to evade so they lose their shots), target aft/bottom shields. When you get a shot of their underneath, aim ahead and fire the plasmas - unload these as quickly as you can as your shields won't last forever.
Rotate through shields (be sure to have diverted all power to shields, weapons, engines and away from sensors - you'll need it). After destroying one hybrid, assist the weakest ship against the next one. Repeat
save up your phased plasma torpedo's from when you get them, and then unload them all on the hybrids at the end.......when I first played I didn't want to waste the plama torpedos on anything, until I reached the ending, where I knew that they would come in handy.
I'm hopeless at games. I liked this game, but I could never defeat the kessok hybrid ship and couldnt figure out how to mod it to give myself unlimited torpedoes.
@GICking the best method for destroying the hybrids I found was using the plasma torpedoes you pick up in Episode 7 after you defend the station from the Cardassian attack they have the ability of passing through the shields there fore exploding in direct contact withthe ship use the tractor beam to slow the target ship down it makes it easier to land more blows Bridge Commander is one f my favourites
thats because you downloaded it of the net with no sound of cinimatic videos dude buy it then its AWSOM YEAH WEEWT PWNAG-oops i lost my cool for a sec thear...

personally i agree with you to a point almost all of the sim series of star trek BLOW dont get me wrong not all of the games blow ST armada was really good Armada II felt rushed but was ok. The only saving grace for ST sims. was legacy and even that was a terrible one until the ultimate universe mod came out
check out bridge commander files. People still play this game, and the mods out there make it 100 times better. There is a awesome MP mod out there that makes it enjoyable.
@rkcoon yes but you get reassigned to the Sovereign at the Start of Episode 3 or the long level as I call it as it takes me the longest to complete I have completed the game though several times was thinking of playing it again soon once I start watching my Star Trek DVD's again
I see why he said that. The little tune in the background at the start of Picard's log sounds a lot like the Federation theme in Armada 2. You're still right in that the video is Bridge Commander, but that part of the theme is also from Armada 2.

@SR71ABCD actually the first ship ever created was some raft a caveman made.
the first spaceship was probably made by the Q before they evolved or something.
the first human spaceship would be sputnik or something, and the first warp capable one was made by Cochran.
and wouldn't E come after enterprise A-D? and unless time travel is involved E couldn't change "Soverign"'s status as first whatever it's first of

I think all the Kessok-based ships, including the hybrids, have weaker ventral shields, so you should attack them from below.

I have a trick to take out Matan.
Target his shields then Target his impulse engines (port first).
then use your tractor beam to grab hold.
swing around to face the sun and go to all stop.
then move to port then stop and swing back to faceing the sun after going to full speed and release tractor beam.
much easier
