What our customer's say!

"I still play this", I love this game and it has gone on every PC I've upgraded to. (It works fine on 2k & XP.)

However, if you are looking for a flight sim this will not be for you as the "feel" models more on old ships-of-the-line that fired then spent some time maneuvering for the next shot. (Things are not quite that simple since there are things such as transporter bombs & drones requiring a decision on whether to fire everything or not.)

For those coming from a Starfleet Battles boardgame background, there will be some things to get used to, (probably the most important being it's RTS) but otherwise it's very faithful.

Those coming from a purely Trekker background should be the type to make allowances: This game is based off an alternate-universe Star Trek without license from Paramount for the majority (all?) of the old-series ST movies, so there's lots of creative licensing with things such as races, background, and ship systems.

The support for this game is still very active and some surfing on the net will bring up everything from alternate weapon bitmaps to models of hundreds (thousands) of ships from various sources and TV/movies series. Playing lots of such custom monster behemoths with large, detailed bitmaps and drones and fighters can quickly demand a faster machine. For example, my current 3ghz Celeron will stutter a second of two when a Death Star goes up in flames. (It should be noted that playing the game as-is will not stutter any but a serious ancient machine.) Get the update! Bugs are not fun.

This game gets four stars because the same-ol' monsters and "unknown aliens" that show up in the single-player campaign get seriously old. Otherwise, this is an incredible game.

"Star Trek: Starfleet Command II: Orion Pirates Review", Overall, this game was a meduim on the scale. One big plus is that it doesn't require the original Star Trek: Startfleet Command II to run. But, the graphics were poor, and the lack of a substantial storyline had a major inpact. Also, there were many variations on ship classes. It gets confusing, remembering which ship you bought when.
If I had a choice, I would use my money on the next game up, Star Trek: Starfleet Command III. It removes most of the flaws mentioned above, and it has a very good replay value. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to email me at cloudmouse@gmail.com. Thank you!

"Orion Pirates", A great game with more features than I was expecting. You don't have to play the pirates, you can join any other original empires in the game. There are dozens (hundreds?) of ships available so the game never gets dull - there is always something new to try.

"SFC2: Orion Pirates... join a community of gamers", SFC2: Orion Pirates builds on the SFC series which began in 1999 with SFC1. The Interplay game then became SFC2, which added two new races and a corresponding increase in ship choices. Finally, SFC2: Orion Pirates opens the door to an additional eight playable races, the "Pirate Cartels." Now the cartels vessels are not truly on par with the other eight races, but they are pirates, after all, not races with planetary or system-wide economies. With SFC community patches and upgrades this game is excellent, with bugs and problems a thing of the past.

The game plays extremely well and is, for anyone who enjoys a true mental challenge, heads and shoulders above anything else this gamer has encountered. All too often today game designers presume that a consumer wants "ease of play" more than they want "replayability." Not so here. You will find your mind challenged at least as much as your reflexes. It is a difficult thing to keep track of Electronic Counter Measures, Shield reinforcement, movement rate and direction, weapons systems, point defense systems, transporters, tractor beams and many other things while your opponent is doing likewise in an attempt to reduce your ship to a flaming ruin, but even a basic understanding of how to do this brings a challenge and enjoyment few games offer. I have been playing since SFC was introduced and can say unashamedly that it is the best game I have ever played, hands down.

The game is based on a pen and paper game called Starfleet Battles, which was created by Amarillo Design Bureau. Starfleet Battles is likely one of, if not the most, complex games ever created. Starship tactical combat in the 23rd century using hundreds of pages of rules. You can imagine. Those of us who played it waited patiently for roughly 20 years for it to arrive in PC form. With all the calculations, measurements and headaches removed (the PC does all that) what remains is SFC: Orion Pirates. All the good, without the bad.

If you are interested, allow me to point you to a community of people who all love the game at http://www.dynaverse.net/ where you can learn more about the game, about the community created additions (which add many more ships straight from Starfleet Battles) as well as how you can become a part of the community. (Check the forums.) You can also become a part of a divisional league that uses this game at http://www.gzleagues.com/forum/ where they will be happy to assist you.

Five years of this game in one form or another and I can tell you that there is nothing else like it. Do yourself a favor. Spend the $10 and say hello to the communities I mentioned above. You will be glad you did.

Respects...

"Rocks Hard", I have played all the Starfleet games and sims. This one is classic both in execution and technical game play. It accurately details hundreds of ships. This game is true to the original Starfleet Command board game. Yes it is several years old but it is the best of the best for strategic and tactical combat. The LAN multiplayer support is also done really well. Buy it! Enjoy it! live long and prosper!

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Bugs and Boring", Full of bugs. Slow to load and save. Becomes very boring after a short period.

"Hey hey!", Give it a try! This is almost a new genre, considering it's Action/Sim/Strategy combo. Anyway, it's worth the (money), and is a great addition to your game collection, escpecially you Trekkies! The characters, ships, and story are somwhat tedious however, in that the Enterprise is not in it, neither are the Borg, or many Klingon and Romulan ships, oh yeah, there isn't really a story. Hmm, a good game anyway.

"The greatest space combat sim ever made", If you like SFC, this is the game for you. There are 16 possible races to choose from - 8 empires and 8 pirate cartels. No other Starfleet Command product gives you the range of options of this game.

If you don't know SFC, its level of tactics is unequaled in the gaming industry. There is no space simulation game that is more detailed and fascinating.

It takes skill. This is not a shoot-em-up. While not easy to learn, patience and practice will mold you into a feared and deadly starship captain. The online play, supported by the free GameSpy Arcade, is the most rewarding, for you can pit your skills against other captain wannabes. Do not be discouraged. As I said, it takes seasoned skill to win. When you first begin, you have little hope against a veteran player. Your skills will improve in a few weeks, however. Your first victory against another human opponent will be sweet, sweet, sweet.

Buggy at first, with patches it has become very stable. It is a very rewarding game for those who are looking for a game with a little depth.

"Starfleet Command Orion Pirates - A Run for Your Money", Star Trek: Starfleet Command Orion Pirates is the sequel to the Star Trek: Starfleet Command II Empires at War. Unlike other expansions to PC games, this expansion does not require Starfleet Command I or II to run. You can play Orion Pirates without installing the previous Starfleet Command games. This game has slightly improved graphics from the Starfleet Command II. There are two new Federation ships that you may use in this game (One that resembles the Akira or Enterprise NX-01 Class and another ship that resembles a Challenger class ship). In this game, the player can now play and control the Orion Pirates as they use different modified ships with various weapons and ship designs taken from the Gorn, Romulans, Klingons, Mirak, Lyran, Hydran, and Federation (Imagine the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars with all it's custom parts). Some ships feature X Phasers which are the phasers used by most ships in The Next Generation and also A Phasers which have the capability to short circuit the systems of enemy ships temporarily upon firing. In terms of story, - the plot is not as exciting as the Starfleet Command II game. The action of this game is more intense. The game features new single player skirmishes which include famous scenes from the Star Trek series and Star Trek movies such as "The Wrath of Khan" where you can dog fight with Khan. So in terms of whether or not to purchase this new version of Starfleet Command, is really a hard decision to make. There are not many improvements in this game that would really make the game any different from the previous Starfleet Command games. If you are a die hard Star Trek fan, I would purchase the game for your collection of Star Trek games. However if you are just a gamer who wants naval combat of some sort, I would hold out and wait for Star Trek: Bridge Commander to come out (This game has richer graphics and appears to have a better story line).
Gameplay = 8/10
Graphics = 6/10
Sound = 8/10
Value = 7/10

"Buggy but fun", First off a caveat: This game is riddled with bugs! If you're using old (as in more than 6 months old) drivers for your video card, sound card or even (in my case) your microsoft keyboard then prepare to have a really bad time with getting this game to run more than a few hours. However, with some effort (and a phone call to Interplay's UK tech Support hotline) I've been able to work around most of these and when it works I think it's great fun.
I like the older (movie) style vessels and as a player of Star Fleet Battles (the board game) in the 80's it was like a trip back to my sad, geeky youth. If it had been shipped in a better state or if a decent patch was available I'd have given it 3.5 stars.
When it becomes a budget (10 quid) title then pick it up and have a go!
