Also, the game has evolved in a different direction than the Star Trek timeline, and has developed its own history which does not incorporate the later Star Trek TV shows. This game pays homage the original Star Trek television series, with many of the ship designs based on the Star Fleet Technical Manual published by Franz Joseph as well as the Star Trek TV and Animated TV series. This game was first released in the late '70's as a 'pocket' game, and evolved into (arguably) the most successful starship combat boardgame ever released. The Starfleet Command series is very heavily based on the Star Fleet Battles boardgame.

This is one of the things that keeps the game interesting different ship designs require different tactics to win against. While some ships are designed to do well overall in most situations, others specialize in carrying fighters, marines, conducting fire support roles, and other missions. Each race has a large selection of ships in their arsenals, of varying sizes (from Police Cutters to Battleships) and tailored for different needs. SFCII:OP allows you to choose from sixteen(!) different races/pirate cartels, each with a different mix of weapons and ship designs. I have really enjoyed playing this game, as it is one of the few ship to ship combat games on the market that requires you to think ahead as well as for the moment, and constantly adapt to new challenges posed by your opponents. Interplay has published all three titles, with Taldren Software writing the code for all of them. This is the third game in the Starfleet Command series, and I also own the previous two titles. I recently purchased Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates. News- Articles- FAQ's- Benchmarks- Downloads- Links- Forum- Chat Room
