Better support for multi-core pcs (runs more stable) HET and other ship actions are no longer based on a dice roll Support more ships per class (these are for a ShipList hopefully incomming from FireSoul) Support for SFC 2:OP weapons arcs (these are for a ShipList hopefully incomming from FireSoul) Changed Multiplayer port to 27200 from 2600 - 2700 Fixed Old Error with fighters in Supply Dock Updated to DirectX 7 from DirectX 5,6 (allows compatibility with in game overlays in EvolveHQ) Updated Code to Visual Studio 2012 from Visual C++ 6.0 (that means we went forward over 10 years on the programming of the game) But it works fine and it has pirates! I'm very happy.

And by golly, it runs! Looks ugly, but space can be an ugly place. Getting a wild hair this afternoon, I dug out my SFCOP box and installed the game on my Win7 rig, updated it to the ultimate 2552 patch and after adjusting the res to the max 1280x1024, launched it. We shall not speak of the next generation, Starfleet Command 3, since it was dumbed down for the masses.

The manual was kind of sucky since they took the SFC2 manual and shrunk down the font to get it into fewer pages, but the game content was awesome. And even better was it's stand-alone expansion, Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates, since it had pirates. The next attempt, Starfleet Command 2: Empires at War, was much better. The first release, Starfleet Command, was awesome for it's spiral-bound manual but was a bit weak in the implementation of the board game into the computer environment. When a deal was struck to computerize the game system I was over the moon. I was a HUGE Star Fleet Battles player and collector back in the day of paper maps, cardboard pieces and rule manuals that were longer and more complex than the tax code. Go to this post by hepcat where the information about the release of the SFC2:CE is first revealed.Īh,an oldie but goodie, Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates. However, since Star Trek: Starfleet Command 2 Community Edition has been released, the focus of the thread has changed. OK, the first few posts of the original thread were about Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates.
