Ok the last time I talked about Star Trek Bridge Commander I mentioned my geekly anticipation to play this sucker. Well a week ago I spent the whole night downloading the 110mb demo. So I finally got to play this neat Star Trek game. It’s safe to say this one will be a winner.

These shots (1024×768) show off the size difference to the starships and starbases (along with a shot of the ship in transit and a bridge shot):

The first four shots are in the “tactical view” and the last one is from the “bridge view”. “Tactical view” lets you see the outside of the ship. This is also the mode to manually control the starship. “Bridge view” is were you are sitting in the captains chair and you do it like Kirk and Picard. You order your crew and they do the best to follow your orders.

You don’t have to play one way or another. The “bridge view” is the easiest. Or it is the mode that lets you play with out to much micro managing. Fun either way. Here is a page that has six more screen shots showing the different bridge officers/stations you can command.
