Some quick screens. I ran through the ‘Captains’ tutorial and so far so good. Engage Number 1’s!
The touch controllers act like hands, with your arms all attached.
You point and press, it works pretty well
Starting menu is in a shuttle orbiting space dock - and look here, it’s a ship. I wave for help.
An angry exchange, as they ignore me
Ok, off to training. They put in you in a holodeck with a crew of three AI. So much polyester!
I wave at the Engineering Vulcan - she ignores me.
Ok, let’s get some orders. Captain on deck!
I show full on Kirk agreement. Let’s go kick some alien butt
What does this button do?
Uh Oh
I didn’t mean it - Cease fire, cease fire!
So from each station you have various commands to touch on. The Captain can leap from Helm, Tactical and Engineer, or have Multiplayer (the ideal) or just order the AI to do stuff.
As head honcho you get an overall status, but not fine control.
A lot of the time you are nominating targets and destinations and then shouting MAKE IT SO.
You can get an external view, but you’re really meant to set up the viewscreen to be all tactical.
The help system is really good, and the interface pretty intuitive.
Ok, so now to bodly go…
