Survivors are stranded after their ship was destroyed. “We use our imaginations so much when you’re on the set”. Whether you want to play a headstrong Kirk or methodical Picard is reportedly up to you, though the game is set in J.J.

Among the first people to try out for Star Trek: Bridge Crew are former stars of the franchise Jeri Ryan (Star Trek: Voyager), LeVar Burton (Star Trek: The Next Generation), And Karl Urban (Star Trek Beyond).
Missions involve either blasting Romulans or Klingons, or exploring space and players will need to work with each other to know which of the teeming mass of virtual buttons in front of them to press.
The trailer depicts the USS Aegis and allows you to have “your own Star Trek experience in a virtual world”, as phrased by Star Trek legend Levar Burton. Will you have what it takes to be a great captain? “When you’re playing the game, it’s nearly like you’re not pretending”.
The target launch date for the game is late this year. It is meant to take advantage of the sense of social presence the technology provides by giving co-op players full-body avatars and real-time lip-sync. Tactical, which handles weapons and shields, and Helm, which navigates the ship and utilises the sensors. Engineering – which is created to distribute the power and fuel. It seems pretty fascinating, an idea that has been a long time coming.

Votypka said the Aegis is about 90 percent similar to the Enterprise, although the developers tilted the bridge stations so players could more easily reach gadgetry and better see fellow crew members in VR.
