Monthly Updates - April

As Captain, you can queue up commands through the holo-display and send them directly to the helm. Sit back and watch your crew explore the galaxy on your orders, step away to your ready room while they scan systems and collect data, or even head to the lounge for a break - all while enjoying the stunning view of the stars through the windows.

Your ship, your command. Enjoy!

You can also sit as the Sensors Specialist or the Pilot, and accept orders from the NPC Captain. ( or another person in MP!)
