Could have been a 5 star
I like Star Trek, watched the original series, TNG, Star Trek Enterprise, Voyager an DS9. Watched all the movies, even the new ones. I played some Star Trek games and loved DS9 Dominion Wars. Controlling one ore more ships, kicking the ass of the Cardassians and having a blast. So my interest in Bridge Commander was pretty high. Sadly the game never appeared on the shelf's off the surrounding shops, because it was limited in production numbers (like someone in the comments said). Finally around 17 years later I am able to play it thanks to GoG. The main menu is designed in the style of Elite Force 1, but a bit to overloaded. If you pause the game through Esc-button, no "resume button" is showed, what causes a bit of confusion. Start in the game is good, you get a sequence and a tutorial. Here the game loses 1 star, because the UI is half-good/bad. Starting with the view from the captains seat you can look around the bridge and control the ship through interaction with the bridge crew. Controls for energy, repair, sensors, combats and "captain assistant" are self-explanatory. But navigation is a mess. Setting a course to warp is not bad, but using warp in the system to get from planet to planet? This is something, according to DS9 season 4 or 5, that is seen as very dangerous. Getting to a station is a bit tricky too, sometimes I had to use "intercept" to move the ship with decent speed. A problem later is, that sensor operator and captain assistant sit nearly in one line, I don't want to know how many times I used the wrong one. But you get used to it, especially after getting a feeling for the "direct control", with which you control the ship through WASD and mouse. Now the game starts and it starts okay. Getting used to the controls, learn how to interpret the UI, get a feeling for the enemy ships, etc. The game had a wonderful flow. Except at the end. The last 2-3 missions were way too hard, even with the special torpedos, finalizing to 3 star score.
