"Improved computer version of STAR FLEET BATTLES",
Second installment of this excellent Star Trek tactical level wargame which tests your ability to think, not the speed with which you can click the mouse or hit buttons on the keyboard.

The Star Fleet Command series of games are a brilliantly executed computer version of the Task Force Games & Amarillo Design Bureau Star Trek boardgame, Star Fleet Battles.

If you have ever played the boardgame, and enjoyed it, this has almost identical ships, races, and rules, but with the computer dealing with all the tedious Energy allocation, combat results, etc. So instead of filling in forms, rolling dice, looking up tables and trying to remember which phasers you've fired you can concentrate on how your starship can defeat the enemy.

This game does not require any ability to hit the right part of the screen with mouse or joystick, nor lightning-fast reactions, nor the ability to repeatedly press any computer control with RSI-inducing speed. It is a test of tactical ability and particularly of using your intelligence to set up situation where your ship's weapons will be more effective than those of your opponent. (There are also a few scenarios which can be solved by using diplomacy or by appropriate use of ship systems other than weapons.)

You can opt to fight single-ship battles, command a squadron of up to three ships, or fight a campaign game set at the time of the "ISC Pacification Campaign."

In the "Star Fleet Battles" history the Organians mysteriously disappeared in the 2260's, between the original "Star Trek" TV series and the first "Star Trek" film, and the Klingons took advantage of their absence to launch a major war which rapidly spread to engulf most of the races in the galaxy. The Organians returned and stopped that war, but encouraged a new power, the Interstellar Concordium, to impose peace on the galaxy. The attempt to impose a "Pax ISC" provides the backdrop and context for the campaign game.

The six Star Trek nations which you could play in the first Star Fleet Command game were the Federation, Klingons, Romulans or Gorns, and Lyrans or Hydrans from the boardgame. The Orion Pirates appear as a non-player race in the first two games (there is a later expansion in which you can play them.) This second game adds the ISC and re-introduces the Kzinti ships and systems under the name Mirak.

It is with some trepidation that I explain this, because a letter I wrote making a joke on this subject to a games magazine generated an avalanche of hate mail from Star Trek fans.

Larry Niven's Kzinti from his "Known Space" series also appear in the "Star Fleet Battles" universe: when Niven wrote some of the episodes of the animated Star Trek series many years ago, he adapted his own short story "The Soft Weapon" as a Star Trek tale, complete with Kzinti. So Task Force games allocated them a place in the Star Trek galaxy complete with a unique set of ship types and tactics. Larry doesn't seem to have been at all bothered by this, he certainly never sued TFG or the Amarillo Design Bureau, but for legal or contract reasons the people who put out the first version of the computer game decided that having the Kzinti in it was asking for trouble.

However in this second version of the computer game, they put a new race in the same part of the galaxy which the Kzinti occupied in the boardgame, flying exactly the same ship designs which the Kzinti used in the boardgame, so the wargamers who loved having those ships in their games were happy, but they called the replacement race the Mirak, and the graphic of a Mirak captain doesn't look like the Kzin in Larry Niven's books, so the lawyers were happy.

The other new thing in this second game is - CARRIERS AND FIGHTERS! Only the Hydrans had fighter shuttles in the first computer game, but in this one just about every carrier design in Star Fleet Battles from the mighty Federation Space Control Ship (my favourite ship in the game) down to light carriers is available.

There are two new campaign games - one available to all races which covers the history of the ISC Pacification campaign, and one resrtricted to the Mirak, Lyrans, Hydran which involves finding ancient technology and using it to defeat your enemies. The campaign games incorporate almost all the scenarios in the boardgame, from patrol and convoy actions to base attack/defence, and "the surprise reversed." There are also a range of battles in the campaign game which feature various space monsters new ideas like hostage rescue, and the campaign game knits together into an entertaining storyline.

For reference, there are currently four "Star Fleet Command" computer games

1) The original "Star Fleet Command" set in the general war

2) This game, "Star Fleet Command II, Empires at war" set about a decade later during the attempt by the Interstellar Concordium (ISC) to impose peace on the galaxy.

3) Star Fleet Command "Orion Pirates" which is a free-standing expansion for the second game, and you can play as any of the eight empires from this game or as one of eight clans of Orion pirates.

4) Star Fleet Command III, set a century later in Picard's time, and you can play as the Federation, Klingons (now allied to the Federation), Romulans (still enemy) or Borg.

So if you want to play the Orions, get the third expansion, if you want to play as or fight the Borg, get Star Fleet Command III.

"XP", I used to have this game on my old computer and i thought it was amazing. Somehow the game got thrown away and i just recently purchised another, and i now have a new computer with XP it and the game wont install. Any ideas?

"Not the best game for true trekkies.", I give this game a 3 out of 5. This single player campaigns are severely weak. The only fun there really is are on the skirmish missions. You get to pick your race ship and up to 2 other ships for your fleet. You can also download missions for the skirmish campaigns that can almost make up for the single player campaigns. There are a bunch at http://www.strategyplanet.com/sfc/ along with patches and anything to do with Starfleet Command. It has good graphics but still is in 2-D. If you just want a trek game that isn't hard get this game.

"A TREKKIE's DREAM GAME!", This game is great. Obviously the game has worn off in excitement since first buying it...but the first time you play it is undescribable. The first time you get it loaded and start playing you feel like you're a captain. As a trekkie, that was all I had ever wanted. And controlling every detail about the ship is just amazing. I'm serious, EVERY DETAIL. Probing, electronic warfare, weapon control/firing, shields, shuttlecrafts, special features using your warp engines such as high energy turns, usage of mines, transporters, ship speed, systems repair...ok the list goes on. This game is simply amazing.

Now people have told me about bugs...I've never had any problems...EVER. The game should never be minimized or interrupted because you will come back to a messed up screen, which can't always be fixed. But that's the only "problem" I have. The "patch" is really easy to get considering you just go in your start menu under the game and select Update. It will instantly find the udpate and download. With a fast connection this will only take a few minutes. All bugs previous to this are gone. (If there were any, I've always updated first.

The game:
The single player game was very cool at first. I never really got into the single player on this game after being dissappointed by continuous repetition of missions on the original Starfleet Command game. And it always seemed as if the missions were to easy or absolutely impossible. However, this game has many more missions, features etc. Besides the campaign you can set up a "skirmish" for short little single missions with the AI. I bought this game almost exclusively for online play. I play with Gamespy Arcade, the only place to play online known to me....It's great battling against other human beings. Your chances are realistic after you get good. This game is about skill, and also knowledge of the other ships and the weapons they have. If you're into Star Trek and realistic battle simulations you can not go wrong.

"Bugs and More Bugs", Doesnt work out of the box. I have emailed interplay and have received no response. This game has more bugs then any other i have seen. Each patch promises to fix them, to no avail. The first one was great Empires at war is the worst second i have ever seen in any game. I bought this game for the name. Taldren who actually wrote it is probably the worst company I have ever had to deal with. After getting no response i posted on the forum asking about the bugs and my posts were deleted. All you will see on the forum are filtered messages genereating positve press. The game looks great but after playing it for a while you will lose ships, Lose cash or it will freeze up right when you tink you are doing good. Buy at your own risk.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Stop thinking about it!", It's hard for me to even describe how much I love this game. It is the most thoroughly enjoyable game I've ever played. Thoughts of up, down, left and right are blown to the wind as you're able to control every aspect of ship functions on your choice of hundreds of different ships. Each ship has it's own unique characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, weapons, etc. Play as a wily ship captain with unconventional techniques and ploys, or take the straight forward mathematical approach to combat. Either way you will be pushed to your limits by this game.

Once you think you've 'mastered it'... try signing on to GameSpy's online gaming forum and challenge a veteran over the net. You'll realize there's no mastering this game and that you've just opened up a whole new realm of tactics to explore.

Video games don't normally thrill me. The fast ones are too fast and the slow ones are too slow. This game, however feels less like a game and more like actually 'commanding' a starship into battle. I urge all Star Trek fans to make this investment. You won't be disappointed.

Enjoy.

"An excellent computer game now that its been patched", Okay... sure... it was tough to play, but now that its been patched, this is an excellent computer conversion of the wargame Star Fleet Battles. If you like deep yet exciting strategy plus Star Trek this game has endless replayability. I recommend without hesitation.

"A good effort", I would have given this game five stars except for the bugginess of it. When they get this game patched, I would be willing to give it one more star. The patches that are out right now have helped a lot but more work needs to be done.

This is a complex game and not for everyone. It takes a lot of thought and planning to play it successfully. If you are not into taking the time to read the manual and learn the game, then avoid this one.

The battle sequences are stunning, the graphics make you feel like you really are commanding a starship. I am still learning how to play this game and expect it will be a long time before I am bored with it.

The only things I am disappointed with is that ship movement is limited to 2D and the starships handle like airplanes and not space vehicles. Come on people, this is SPACE combat, we should be able to do loops and rolls and all sorts of maneuvers. I should be able to fly my ship in any attitude, even backwards.

So is it worth getting? I say yes if you are enamored with the Star Trek universe and enjoy complex games. If you aren't into either, than pass it by.

"On second thought...", Well here is my second review, This game dosen't hit it's mark, Interplay has once again botched up anouther game(new worlds, Klingon Academy), how may you ask? They kicked this baby out of the crib before it could barely walk, there's only one scirmish, the first one had a bunch, NO officer slection(picking a Vetern or cadet fresh out of the academy, like in the first one), The mission start of good but jump up to higher difficulty way too soon,(after 3 missions I was expected to combate advanced warships with only 2 escourt class vessils, Kobyashi maru any one?) The online world that Interplay was headling for this game is non-exsistant, So now all we have is Star Fleet command gold w/ new lighting and damage, with no scirmishes, multiplayer, with insaine suicide missions.

But keep the faith, Taldren(ppl who actually made it)has completely backed this game, when Interplay's Brian Fargo said " thank god this is the last ST game we'll ever make", Taldren has basicly devoted thier website to help us all make this game better, witch you'll see none comming from Interplay. This will be the last ST game from Interplay, and thank God, Activison now holds the liecences for TNG, Voyager,TOS and TMP, Simmon&Schestur hold the liecence for DS9, and from what I've seen they will and have made much better ST games.

"Wait untill about version 3.0, as the game is full of bugs", Once you actually get to fight other ships, the game is a blast. Complicated, but learnable. You will spend time mastering stratagy and controls. Unfortunatly, the game crashes A LOT. As you progress through the campaighns, the time between battles stretches to 10 minutes, as the computer does "something" (800 mhz athalon is doing something, as the hard drive and CD aren't doing anything, and the graphics it is changing are minor). It will crash to the desktop with unacceptable frequency. You will reinstall it at least once. And, if you are like me, you will put up with this because the actual battles are visually awesome and really fun. Stratagy is challenging and not covered by any documentation real well (trial and error). I am playing with patch 2.0.0.4 and have read that othe patches are a LITTLE better, but none of them qualify as good. 3.0 will probably be playable.
