OK, Bridge Commander is out, but I've got a 5 page essay and a 12 page paper due in two weeks, and ontop of that I'm not likely to get any work done this weekend.
So should I get the game tomorrow or what?

I played the demo, the graphics are great, but the interface and other stuff is sh*t, so don't waste your money and don't buy this game.

David, i'm going to wait a couple of weeks. if a mod doesn't come out in a two week time span that fixes the problem with the photon torpedoes and the overly powerful BOP, then i will wait until the game hits it's first price cut before i buy it. if a mod DOES come out in the first couple of weeks, then i will forgo groceries for a week and go out and buy it at regular first run retail price. after playing the demo and then playing A Final Unity on a DOS emulating Linux box, and unaltered Bridge Commander doesn't seem worth full retail, IMHO.

Yeah, I've been trying to get the damn ship stats off the people at the BC forum, but no one wants to tell me.
I have very little intention of buying the game, if the ships are the way they were during the demo. If they weren't, well... God I hate school, interfering with my gaming and all.

A Final Unity was super accurate and it was fun as hell! accuracy and game balance are not mutually exclusive! the BOP is a weak ship. there is no need to make it really powerful to "enhance game play value". the galaxy class can fire 10 torpedoes. a warbird (which is way too weak in the game, by the way) is still a match for a galaxy class despite this because it has really powerful disruptors. do the janes military sim games make crappy vehicles stronger for "game balance"? a BMP would never be given the same frontal armor as an M1A2 tank! that is basically what happened to the BOP. would an apache helicoptor have the cannon's rate of fire dropped so that soviet bloc vehicles have a better chance of survival? HELL NO! that is bascially what happened to the galaxy class. no onw would think of screwing with the stats of real vehicles for "fun and game balance". star trek should be treated the same way the military games are.

For crying out loud TE, must you *always* be so damned negative about everything? Lighten up for once, will ya? Or find yourself a sense of humor. Or the ability to relativate certain comments. Or the capacity to recognise a joke.
Take your pick, I don't care.

Seriously, you must have no life whatsoever. It was obviously a joke.
Either that or your a fucking bible-beater.
