Voyaging beyond Bridge Commander
by Martin Davies

Star Trek: Excalibur pushes back the final frontier of modding

Star Trek Excalibur is (www.stexcalibur.com) a fan made game of startling ambition: originally planned as a mod for 2002's space combat game Star Trek: Bridge Commander, it's outgrown the ageing engines technical confines to become an (unlicensed) game in it's own right.

The modders responsible are turning out the Star Trek game we've all dreamt of, the one that puts you in the captains seat of a starship where you realistically battle the lumpy-headed space villains of the series.

i can't wait for more.
I reckon when IGN makes a STexcalibur page it'll mean you've basicly got the medias attention, i know gamespy has ST excalibur page

Hahaha

... close to completion. That's a good one.

Seriously though, they don't even have the graphics engine finished 100% yet. So, no, there aren't any system reqs yet.
