so what downloads has everyone got for it?

any one got voyager on it? It looks good!

but i supose in bridge commander it wouldn't be that good would it cuz it would only have four phaser banks and 4 torpedo tubes wouldn't it

oh well i'd still have it all the time when i get the game

wow!

i was just playin on my demo of it and i was actually doing the mission and instead of going to meet the sovereign i went into the vesuvi cloud! i didn't know u could go there!

And it was intense! cuz i went into the nebula at full impulse (with my engines at 125% ) and i got lost

so of course i slowed down and carryed on going straight...THEN i decided to send out a prob
...
it was crushed!
so u know i thought thats it yellow alert, shields to 125% and within about a minute i had completely lost my shields so my ship was gonna be crushed, and i was lost

and then i thought well a prob wont help me get out cuz it would be crushed so...i sent out a photon torpedo to guide my ship until i was out of the nebula!

im but i think i got carryed away cuz itg seemed so...real lol and my heart was pounding cuz my ship was about to be crushed, but i made it and i actually quite proud of my self

( i only managed to get my shields up to 50% by the time i reached the sovereign

but it was ok...i managed

I think the phasers in BC are too weak... but otherwise it's a fun game

yeah the phasers in it are terrible, but the distruptors are great!!!!

ok i have actually got bridge commander now

instead of just the demo

but on bcfiles.com i go to download ships but they dont work...i tryed to get the ENTERPRISE-A last night but it didn't work. Do you think it would be better if i downloaded a mod? if so, which one?

You would probably be better off asking at the BCFiles forums than here

OK regarding installing ships and mods u need to have BCMI and BCMP.
When u d/l a ship or mod it will come in either 2 forms. 1 of these forms is 2-3 folders labeled scripts, another called data and sometimes one called sfx. U copy these files to ur BC directory. Now this is where BCMP comes into play. U go to the game tools menu and select the checker tab. If u wanted to install voyager for example u would look under a list in the checker tab for voyager.py . after u found it u click on it. On the lower left hand corner of the window it will tell u wether or not there are any errors. If theres 1 or more errors u gotta recopy the files to ur directory or d/l another file thats required for the ship. If u dont the ship wont work right and BC will be boned. I.E. u gotta reinstall BC. U then procede from the checker tab to the ship plugin tab. U find voyager.py or whatever u ship is and u select which race u want them to be under. Once u do that, u hit make plugin. A window appears and says u have succesfully install ur ship. Now u get into ur game. Go to the options and there will be the usual, submenus. Now theres a new one called mutators. U go under the mutators menu and makesure every thing is checked off.

u get into quickbattle and under the specified race there will be that ship.
Now the other form of the files is the .bcmod file. This ones easy. U dbl click on it and the BCMI will come up and install the ship. If it says do u wish to copy over this u hit yes. and BOOM! the ships installed just like that.
