Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Bridge Simulators (startrek.website)

Many years ago now I tried Artemis. For those that don't know it's a bridge simulator with each station being run on a different computer. We played it at a LAN and did a ship vs ship battle. (In hind sight we should have disabled nukes). It is fun and you really do feel like you're the captain of a star ship.

I have also tried the VR Star Trek Bridge Crew and that was kinda cool but the VR aspect made it feel more alienating compared to physically looking at someone.

I may have the chance next year to run a bridge simulator at a local con' so I've been looking into it again. Holy heck I've gone down the rabbit hole. There are so many options and I'm keen to check them all out. I've even found some amazing LARP's that make use of the bridge simulators.

What's your experience with bridge simulators? (I feel like I've said bridge simulators too many times now).

Townsville, Australia. There are groups that play it online through Discord if you are interested. I found one yesterday called United Stellar Navy. While I have not been able to play a session due to timezone conflicts maybe the hours will work in your favour!
