(Hypothetical) Star Trek Bridge Commander (2002) is getting a Remaster/Remake - What would your expectations?

So the game is nearly 25 years old now.

It's all good but the mechanics are a little dated, the engine is unstable, the graphics don't meet modern standards.

The modding community has kept the game alive and have done and continue to do an amazing job.

As a hypothetical what would you like to see improved, replaced, upgraded, added or changed to bring it into 2026.

What eras would you also like to see in this game?

Because i'm very familiar with the Seestar range and the number is derived from the Aperture size thats why this is called the S110, the "Max" is just because it is excessive.

I've committed to this eco system and treated myself for the next few Birthdays and Christmas's

Only thing i'm likely to add to it are:

  • External Temp Sensor for the Focuser
  • Field Rotator
  • Filters and Filter Drawer

How clear are the night skies where you live? Do you spend any time looking up?

I'm in a Bortle 5 town so quite lucky compared to the majority of the UK.

I'm also an avid amateur astronomer and astrophotographer.

​

I'm curious what other people can see.
