Artemis Spaceship Bridge Sim

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. Helms officers also share control of the main screen display and shields. Weapons Officer The weapons officer manages the beams, torpedoes, nukes, mines, and shields for the ship, locking onto targets and blowing them to heck when the Captain commands it. Weapons officers have to prioritize which sort of torpedoes to load into the tubes, with a selection of Mines, Homing Torpedoes, Nukes, and ECM. Weapons requires a good deal of coordination with Helms and Engineering to be successful, setting up the shot and then giving the Weapons systems the power necessary to make it count. Engineering Engineering controls the very beating heart of the Artemis, managing the power systems and usage for the entire ship. If a given system has no power dedicated to it, it doesn't work. Engineering can add more power to something to make it work better, e.g. make the ship turn faster, beams fire faster, etc. Doing this will cause that system to overheat, so engineering manages cooling systems. Engineering also manages the damage control systems, prioritizing ship's repairs when damage is taken in battle. Interaction between engineering, helms, and weapons will make or break any given combat, as a sudden loss of power to steering, weapons, or shields can have drastic consequences, and an extra boost can give you a big advantage over a more powerful ship. Communications Officer The Comms officer can transmit orders to friendly vessels, request a space station build a type of ordnance, and snoop on enemy communications. Comms can also taunt enemy ships, getting them to attack your ship instead of a space station or friendly vessel. Comms can also order them to surrender. Finally, comms can signal RED ALERT! (which doesn't do much aside from blasting a really annoying sound from everyone's console, and making the radar retical turn red) Comms should hit RED ALERT a lot. Science Officer The science officer runs the advanced sensors of the Artemis, detecting and assessing enemy ships as well as finding space anomalies for the Artemis to investigate. Science's ability to scan the shields of enemy ships provides Weapons with vital information need to prioritize targeting, and its ability to find anomalies can grant your ship a much needed power-up when you don't have time to dock with a space station. How many people can play? Each ship has 5 bridge stations and a captain, the server allows for 6 ships. Multiple stations can be controlled per player, but each ship NEEDS at least 2 players (helm and weapons).

Great game, please patch to latest version so our parties aren't annoying. You can have more money! Currently it's buggy, crashes and not fun to use with Windows.

roy. h. Sep 20, 2019

Great idea! Unfortunately appears to be non functional, most likely abandoned software

Kat. D. Jul 21, 2019

App kept shutting down. Could not actually play the game.

Jos. M. May 23, 2019

update to the PC version!

Sha. A. Aug 13, 2019

Update to pc version plz!!!

Artemis is great for getting some of your friends together and setting up epic matches. You can do anything from a scout ship to a gigantic Juggernaut ship. It's possibly the best space ship sim I have ever encountered, it's especially fun when you have 2 crews in border war where you can coordinate mine runs through enemy lines

It is possible to solo play using multiple devices, but better in groups. The fun part comes when one guy screws up and the whole crew has to fix it. I have a copy on my desktop and hooked up 5 displays, epic game like no other. One day I hope the shaders can improve, but that will increase system requirements.

I adore this game. It's what made me finally break down and put money into an app. But alas, on my phone, the game crashes 100% of the time the server hits "start game." I wish, wish, wish this worked, because i want to play it on my phone so badly.

Artemis is really great fun if you can put together a good crew. It takes some getting used to, but has potential for some pretty deep gameplay. The graphics leave something to be desired, and you are really dependant on getting some friends together, but once it comes together is it ever fun!

I can't type a server address, the keyboard disappears as soon as I try to type something. Waste of money when I can't connect.

Ald. T. Jun 28, 2016

Works great, except for issues with touch detection at the bottom of the screen when you're at the helm. The option to control several stations at once makes it great for when you don't have 6 people.

This made a recent 31st bday spectacular. I cannot say enough. Keep on developing and i would be happy to pay another three dollars for a remake by the same developers. Runs great on asus tft101 with zero lag, cooling issues, or battery issues.

Phenomenal game in every way! Playing games with friends doesn't get any better than this! The app crashes after the latest upgrade to the pc Artemis version so it isn't very useful to me right now - hopefully the app update isn't far behind.

Jer. R. Dec 23, 2016

The app description should be changed so that the first line reads: "Note: Not a standalone game. Requires 6 paid copies on 6 devices to play". That little tidbit shouldn't be buried in the long expanded app description. It is critical information!

I typically use my phone as a server, and use my computer as the console, and it works really well for a game designed to be used by at least 2 people. However, ever since the v.2.5.1 update was applied to my computer version, I have been experiencing problems using the jump drive. Please come out with the update soon!

Bre. B. May 12, 2017

Well it's fun for about 10 min then kicks us out the rest of the time I would give it 4 🌟 if it would work all the time

Dan. A. Aug 21, 2016

I really enjoy this game, but the android version needs a bit of improvement. It disconnects alot and i have to reenter. Also it always feels like a tuturial with all the unneccessary text added to each screen. Ignore that, artemis is rediculously fun.

A. G. u. Jan 2, 2017

I hope this is a temporary review. I literally can't play this game, because I can't type the server name in, because the keyboard disappears every time I go to type on it. I'm on an Alcatel One Touch. Please, please address this somehow. I've even found people interested in playing with me!

Sha. C. Aug 13, 2016

Fun game, would be great if it was available for Android TV (shield tv) to be able to use as the server though.

Goe. D. May 10, 2017

Crashes. Constantly. I got to play for a grand total of 1 minute after 6 2-minute restarts. I spent more time waiting for the game to reload than I did actually playing.

Bo. M. Jul 31, 2016

This is not in any way related to the Trek universe, but it is far and away the best representation of it in a game.

Spe. S. Jul 7, 2017

Excellent game, though unplayable with the PC version until it gets updated to the same version. Took over a year before it was updated to match the PC version last time.

Har. D. Jun 20, 2017

Great game but it isnt up to date with pc and keeps crashing on my tablet could this be helped/fixed.

Jen. B. Dec 7, 2017

I gave 3 stars because it's not updated to pc version. I'll give higher stars once it's updated so I can play with the pcs. This game is awesome on pc, but it would be better if I could run the server on the phone to free up one of my computers for actual gameplay.

A. G. u. Oct 22, 2016

The only wish I have is that it would run on my Nexus player. It would be a fantastic server and main screen when playing in the living room.

Vil. C. Feb 18, 2018

Great game but worth nothing because it's not compatible with the pc version, 5 stars if that was the case

Gre. H. Apr 23, 2018

On the computer, this game is awesome. On my phone, it kept crashing before I could even start the session. I hope they fix this. If they do, I'll update my review.
