Artemis Space Bridge Simulator is a game where you take the role of a bridge officer in a sci-fi capital ship. You ARE your favorite character from your favorite space tv show. "This is Star Trek through the Rock Band filter. You are playing together as if you were on a ship." In other words, the game works best when you gather a group of 6 friends, pretend to be a Starfleet officer, and save the galaxy from the comfort of your computer. To assemble a full bridge crew, you need people to fill these roles: The Captain The Captain is simultaneously the most important member of the crew and the least involved in terms of physical game play. In an ideal setup with a full crew, the Captain doesn't manage any of the bridge stations, instead focusing his/her efforts on monitoring the main screen, prioritizing targets, and timing the interactions of the crew. The Captain needs to maintain order among the crew members so the whole affair doesn't become a shouty mess where you go warping into some bad-guys grill just to immediately eat a dozen photon torpedoes. Helms Officer The helms officer flies the ship, maneuvering in battle for optimal positioning, going to warp/jump when its time to haul ass, and managing the displays for the main screen. Careful helms play is essential for successful battle, helping to get the drop on enemies, avoid fire, and gain target lock.
