As its title implies, this allows players to create their own Star Trek-themed starships. Players can pick from a number of different classes of vessel, and customise every single aspect, from hull shape to the quality of crew accommodation. Furthermore, once a ship has been created, the player can equip it with a crew of their favourite Star Trek characters, and then send them out on missions to see if they are up to scratch. Advanced users can even script their own new missions with a scripting language. Weapons, equipment, facilities - everything has its price. What's the nature of the mission: military, exploratory or medical emergency? Will you need upgraded science equipment or more powerful torpedoes? What kind of crew can you afford? Captain Kirk or Captain Barclay? Or scan and import your own picture to make yourself captain and your friends and family crew (they probably won't cost as much)! Then launch your ship and see how she does. Will your dream ship crash and burn against the Klingons or bring you fame and glory - and more credits to build more ships? It all rests on YOUR skills as designer and admiral. Build your unique starship from 7 classes of vessels. Import/Export ships and missions - trade with friends. Stealth mode - run missions at work while you do other things. The program was designed with input from Michael Okuda, Denise Okuda, Rick Sternbach, and Doug Drexler, who were responsible for many of the technical or reference-oriented books produced for Trek. |
