Apparently, the developers of BTRL got into a snit, so they split up. Diaspora is the result.

I've just re-discovered Star Trek:Bridge Commander.

For a game that's seven years old, it holds up pretty well, thanks to a very strong and talented modding community.

Much of the stuff can be found here: http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/

Be sure to pay special attention to version numbers and readmes - not all mods are cross-compatible.

The two biggest ones (which do work together!) are probably the Kobayashi Maru mod and the DS9FX mod. Careful with the latter, it has some other mandatory and optional pre-requisite mods.

With these you can set up a Federation assualt on a Borg Cube, play a Romulan vs Cardassian "What If?" - loads of possibilities.

He is a scifi writer who discusses the relevance of science in science fiction and how that compares to reality.

Very good stuff IMHO.

Doing my best the site is only a few months old and getting the word out is rough without spamming everyone. I try to find most of the goings on in the space gaming scene and I have a few developers of various games frequent the site and answer questions. Link page is growing and wiki too. Give it time... traffic is coming I think I had 30k people visit last month I just need more to sign up and actually talk in the forums smile

Thanks to everyone stopping by and if your a mod owner do upload your mods or demos.
