Twelve multiplayer missions and three bonus missions based on the "A Piece of the Action" episode are included as well.
Best of all there's a simple mission creator that lets you set up the engagements you'd like to see. There are twelve new campaigns here along with 26 skirmish missions.
If you're not into playing as the pirates, you can assume the captaincy of the ships of any of the other races - Gorn, Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Interstellar Concordium, Mirak, Hydran, or Lyran. But since the individual cartels are so far ranging, there's an eclectic mix of weapons and technology to be found on any pirate's ship. Each of the game's races has it's own form of Orion Cartel working, if not in open cooperation, at least alongside it. While no one's ever actually admitted it, it seems a safe bet that the Orion Pirates are, or at least were, a shady arm of the Orion government.įor the game, the Pirates have been divided into eight cartels, each of which resides in a separate sector of space. The so-called Orion Pirates dabble in trade all throughout the galaxy. Orion is a planet within the Federation with a rabid economic expansion policy. Starfleet Command II: Empires at War brought quite a few additions to that model and now Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates is hoping to take the experience a step further.įor the benefit of those of you who aren't conversant with all things Trek, here's the short version. It not only brought the battles to the desktop, but it also rendered them in real-time with fantastic 3D graphics. I got my chance with the original Starfleet Battles for the PC. But in the back of my mind I always thought back on those sessions of Starfleet Battles and hoped some day to return to them. Soon the allure of high school chicks and playing in the second best rock and roll band in my graduating class took over my hormone-addled psyche and I had no time for games. I am proud that in between games of Chill and Villains and Vigilantes, I actually played a lot of Starfleet Battles when I was a kid.
