Ship Controls

I wanna be able to control my ship from the Bridge, not in 3rd person. Just let us do both so we can choose.

I completely agree on the bridge view much like the successful Star Trek Bridge Commander. Hopefully Cryptic looks at that as a success and inputs a lot of that into the gameplay. I'm not really sure if it has been annouced yet but hopefully soon.


Live long and prosper,

In a similar fashion to bridge commander? That is an interesting idea.

I wonder which concept they will go with?

I like the idea of being able to look through the view screen from my seat on the bridge. I also loved bridge commander, and the ability to look around and get status reports.

Yeah that's pretty cool, now when in combat 3rd person is good, I'd probably try it in the Bridge first n see if I can get use to it, but if not 3rd is good. Like you said when not in combat Bridge view would be awesome, seeing through the view screen and getting status reports.

In Bridge Commander, whenever you wanted a 'hands on' approach you switched to an exterior view. It was really only when you wanted your crew to do simple tasks like orbit the planet, intercept that ship, scan that planet etc, that you used the bridge view. When you wanted to engage in combat you where really forced to switch to the external view and take manual control of the ship. There was a limited way in which you could control combat from the bridge but it wasn't very good at anything beyond an easy fight and certainly wasn't very fun.

I also hope they use this approach in the game. Only using exterior view for battles and everything else can be done in bridge view. It'll really add to the atmosphere of the game.
