About the Game

    Future Fleets is a browser-based, ST-themed game currently being tested which will give players the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the ST universe.

    We want to let our players tell the story and determine what happens next, and how they choose to do that is up to them. Each character can be customized with special skills and abilities before leaving their alliance's main planet and setting off into the unknown. Some will join the Federation and take starships deep into unexplored space in search of new life and new civilizations. Others will join an alien empire and recruit allies to help them capture strategic star systems. Still others will go out in search of profits, buying up goods and resources and then selling them to the highest bidder.

    At launch, the game will provide all of the resources necessary for players to work together and essentially relaunch the Federation's fleet of ships. Players with experience commanding online ST-themed simulations will be given in-game versions of their simms. Other players will be expected to take up important positions on those simms to help them succeed until they can command a ship of their own. Starbases will be located throughout the Federation to provide ships with supplies, but it will be up to each Captain and their crew to determine where they go and what they do.

    Wondering what our simms are capable of? Each ship is carefully designed so that characters can "navigate" from room to room and deck to deck. Rooms may contain important ship components or consoles which can be used to interact with the ship, and when used correctly, these systems can do anything from simple scans and travelling at warp to firing weapons and modifying shields. Everything we can fit into the game, we are going to in order to make the simming experience here as realistic as possible.

    We will also be providing new opportunities for Fleets to make a name for themselves. Every established simming fleet that joins the game will be eligible to receive a custom base of operations and a shiny new batch of starships for their organization to take command of. By joining Future Fleets, these fleets are essentially staking a claim to the names and registries of all the ships they own, even if most of their members choose not to play. For those that do, though, they will finally have the opportunity to go on real joint missions with others simms from their fleet and any others!

    Another important facet of this game is that everything happens in real time. So, if you don't have a lot of free time, you will enjoy having the ability to increase the skills and/or wealth of your character with relative ease at your leisure. Or, if you have ample free time, you can use it to patrol hostile space with each of your five characters in a different part of the galaxy. Then, if one comes under attack, you will be the hero that alerts the rest of the crew!

    In short, Future Fleets is here both to enhance existing characters and simulations and to give newcomers the chance to play a role in the ST universe. We hope you will join us in this exciting new endeavor, and we thank you for taking the time to visit our site.
