This is a modification of the original game Star Trek:Bridge Commander by Totally Games and Activision. Neither party has authorized this mod, and therefore bear no responsibility to any affect it may have on the game. Buyer Beware! This particular set is to install the Stellar Nursery as a new location in QuickBattle mode. It is a high-end design, so low-end users may need to tweak their configurations for best results. This system is part of the Star Systems series of custom system maps. The other series are the Arenas and the Legends. This particular system also includes a new nebula background for the starsphere. INSTALLATION: Unzip into your Bridge Commander program folder, being sure to keep the directory structure intact. When you next start Bridge Commander, immediately go to "Configure," BEFORE you choose Quick Battle. Under the heading for "Mutators" there should now be an option for "BanzaiZAP SystemPack." To play in any new system, simply start up Bridge Commander, and start a new Quick Battle. In the available systems, there should now be all new systems in the list. These Battle Arenas were expressly made as locations for battles, with places to run to (tell helm to Orbit Planet, or Intercept a Target), lay ambushes, etc. SYSTEM NOTES This is a massive dust cloud, part of the Pillars of Creation in M-16. There are stars being formed in the heart of the pillar, and matter is beginning to precipitate in the middle of the column. The major portion of the formation is diffuse enough that sensors are not inhibited, though there are denser pockets. There is a hazard beacon warning ships away from an intensely hot and radioactive part of the cloud, which may destroy ships. Stellar Nursery: Nursery Gate - Entry to the cloud, just outside of the main nebula. Birthing Ground - Several small stars are forming near each other at the head of the cloud Matter Condensation - dust is forming into small pockets of solid matter Hazard Beacon - Marker beacon to warn ships away from this location. I have left the Pythons uncompiled, so others can use this as a template to modify. More advanced systems are forthcoming, including orbiting stations, etc. Have fun!
